  • I'd like to give a shoutout to a few people that helped me to research stuff for this video, firstly the SourceRuns Discord and CZcams channels for giving me some help learning about Half-Life speedrunning strats... here are the links if you're curious yourself!
    SourceRuns Discord: / discord
    SourceRuns CZcams: / sourceruns
    I've also been really addicted to the CZcams channels MarphitimusBlackimus, Leadhead and
    lymphoid, all of whom make some kind of Half-Life-related content. Most of the information in this video is gleaned from them and there's lots of really interesting stuff to find there that I didn't come close to covering.

    One final dorky Half-Life related thing, and I meant to mention this in the stream because it was so cool but I never got around to it, is the video "Black-Mesa Disaster on one map". Basically someone made a video mapping out the movements and locations of all 3 protagonists of Half-Life, Half-Life: Opposing Force, and Half-Life: Blue Shift in relation to one another; the video's incredibly well-edited with lots of great use of in-game voice lines, sound effects and ambient music, and it's pretty insanely comprehensive in its detail as well. It's really eerie and unsettling and it occupied my thoughts for the better part of a week. It may be the sort of thing that will only have that effect on you if you've already played all 3 of those games... but regardless, check it out!

    it's worth mentioning that the rpg controlling the tank rockets isn't jank and rather an intended feature, rockets check who fired the rocket in order for laser sights to not go wacky in deathmatch, and so you can control other players' rockets who don't have their laser sight on, and the tank specifically has code overwriting the user to allow you to control them yourself, and it's the best thing ever

      It is intended. The laser sight code checks the shooter of it so you wouldn't be able to control other player's rockets in Deathmatch, otherwise rockets would go crazy if you both had your laser sights on.
      However, there's code that "bypasses" this check with the tank, allowing you to control them as if they were yours.

    it actually makes perfect sense that your laser rocket guidance system, stolen from the US military, affects other laser-guided rockets that the US military uses
    that having been said, that tank looks like the Bradley IFV, and I believe the Bradley IFV's missiles are actually "fly by wire"--they literally have a spool of wire attached to the back of the rocket, that hooks into a set of contacts in the launcher, which in turn allows the launcher to direct the rocket. So while it would totally make sense _assuming their rockets are also laser-guided,_ it's still jank

      Edit: Holy shit. I legitimately thought that fly-by-wire was simply replacing hydraulics in planes with electrical systems.
      Apparently, the Germans made the first of these in 1944. AND made the missiles spin for that sweet gyroscopic. Woah. No wonder why there's such a Wunderwaffen mythos around Nazi tech.

      Thankfully, though to a point it can make a game too easy, having that level of flexibility and choices in how to approach a problem, not even dialogue or story, necessarily, just, like, which weapons you choose and how they're saved or used in a scenario in this game, for example, is *usually* good.
