Hahahahahaha 19:45 "You can fire 3 to 4 maybe 5 rockets. And it will take care of the tank..." *Fires 6 rockets, 47 machine gun bullets and 2 frag grenades* "Fuck it, we're gonna go back and get rockets" BigMac you're a legend.
17:06 BigMacDavis: Retrace your steps a little bit- Barnacle: HAHA! I CAUGHT YOU! BigMacDavis: Well first, we gotta kill this Barnacle. Barnacle: NOOOO!!!!! *Dies*
My friend started playing Half-Life, we're at a sleepover and we're playing side by side. He's playing Apprehension, and I'm playing forget about freeman. He says to me "AUGH, this is the longest chapter EVER!!!!!!" Me: "sur. face. ten. sion. Him: "What?"
- KidComediansGAME - I love how Apprehension is not one of the longest chapters at all and the previous chapter (On a Rail) is much much longer. And yeah Surface Tension. .-.
I love your voice. The way you talk, too. There's just something about how you say everything you say and narrate so fluently while still sounding stiffly direct that makes you a joy to listen to! Hats and helmets off to you, sir!
*"Forget about Freeman! We are cutting our losses and pulling out, everyone left down there is on his own, repeat, if you weren't already you are now fuc....."* -Unknown dead Marine.
Thanks so much for this walk through! I'm of a later gamer generation, so I'm not so great at the puzzle/platforming segments. I have Half-Life open in a window and I've been using your videos as a strategy guide the whole time
When I first started this game I thought "man, this is very hard" but your walkthroughs make the whole game so easy! Thank you man, without you I probably would have died a lot of times.
No clue if you still check comments on a video this old, but rest assured there's still people like me playing half-life for the first time all the way into 2023! unfortunately I found myself stuck in this chapter, but your playthrough has been a huge help! I will for sure be coming back if I get stuck in a future chapter 😅
Your comment, right here today in 2023, was the reason I started making these videos way back in 2013. Most people watch them for entertainment, and that's great and all, but the sole reason I made these videos was to help newcomers, or for people who wanted to kill and find everything. Thanks for the nice comment.
You really have a very clear pronunciation for us, who are not native speakers of English. I enjoy not only the walthrough, but listening to your English, too. Thank you so much for your work which is so enjoyable.
15:54 Thank You so much I was stuck with no idea what to do!!! Btw it’s so cool seeing the original version of the game and Gordon using an MP5 instead of an M4!
just want to comment and thank you for these walkthroughs. been playing half life 1 for the first time and consulting your walkthroughs whenever i get stuck, they've been a huge help. loving your style of commentary, and i'm glad to see you're still going strong on youtube after many years
These videos have been a tremendous help in those tight spots where you just can't seem to figure out what to do next. Last episode I was hoping me and the big guy could escape together wasn't expecting to drop an airstrike on him. Hey it beats having him running around all over the place. Great series you got here keep up the amazing work!
You know you could've just placed a trip mine at the edge of the entrance before blowing up that door with the tank, if you placed it far away enough the enemies will run right into it, blowing themselves up.
My strategy is using the hornet gun with those bug traps. Works great and you can keep the distance between the bugs. Awesome Half life vids. Desided to play again and ended up here lol
I think that they explode because they get all tense and stressed due to the fighting so they explode, but when they are calm they won't explode. That's just my theory
This really helped me get a clean gameplay lol, without taking any damage. I'm like an hour into the game and I haven't taken any damage. Such great detail and tips to cleanly play this
BigMacDavis when he launched the rocket in the chapter "On A Rail": The rocket that we launched will stop the alien invasion BigMacDavis now: Can we stop the alien invasion?
one thing i've always really liked about half-life is that when you surface for air you regenerate the health you lost from almost drowning (as long as you stay above the surface!)
yes actually, you do! just had to try it out myself to be sure :p useful tactic "oh crap i'm nearly dead, well i best start drowning to restore all my health"
I find those Snarks hilarious. They sense at the very last moment that they're about to explode with that creepy noise. Speaking of the noises, they freak me out, man.
Ladies and Gentlemen says BigMacDavis :D currently, there are no ladies in half life because they adore every alien creature as you know the behaviour of girls right? like "Aaaw look at that awesome cutiepie snarks or the head crabs ......" -_-
***** The head crabs are ugly…but the snarks are cute…when they are not trying to eat you and explode at you. XD (PS: I'm a Portal Fan and i see why Cave Johnson hates the Marines. XD) (PSS: Aperture all the way! Everything is Black Mesa's fault. LOL) Also, Great walkthrough! I really enjoyed it.
@@buttermilkjesus408 he has never used that word before or any similar word in general , it is surprising because he tends not to swear and talk like a radio comentarist.
It annoys me how they supposedly don't care about Freeman, yet there are still straggling Marines/Black Ops girls who are hunting you down in this mission and the next. WTF 😂😂
19:40 The tank only takes 2 rockets if you aim at the ground below it. You can also destroy it with 2 grenades or other explosives thrown under the tank.
On the turret part, where you flip the turret switch on there is a little box, if you stand on there and crouch up and down the aliens instantly get attracted to you whenever you pop up, this is how I handled that part without the turret dying then I just deactivated it. All aliens died without ever having to get my hands dirty nor sacrificing my precious turret-chan.
For turrets in spots like the one behind the tank, if you have anywhere you can crouch just do crouch shots, up tap it twice, then crouch, let it reset and repeat, easier than trying to edge your way to see him. I do peekaboo shots for any other ones, if they are around a corner I peak, shoot twice and hide, repeat until dead, usually only takes about 6 shots from hand gun.
Hey, ***** First of all,thank you very much,your walkthrough of Half Life helped me too much,I could not have passed some parts without your help. Now, to what I came,That little things who chase you,can be killed with a pistol,It not necessary escape of them. I wait for your answer.
Another way to take care of the snark pods is to use the secondary fire on the hornet gun from a distance and then run and hide, they most likely will not see you and not chase you.
Hard to believe you did this 9 years ago. I loved playing half life, but honestly, I'd rather just watch @bigmacdavis play. Much more entertaining, and far less deaths 😂
6:16 That box is 48 units high = long jump. 40 units high = regular jump. Top of bottom crates to top of rail is 36 units high, however the distance is so great (at least 134 units) you have to jump from the very edge. Easier if you get to the top of the higher crates and jump to the left (even if you hit the top edge with air control you can still make the rails)
Yippee! A new level for me to try out tonight. What I find interesting about your videos is that what I will do is play for about 10 minutes then watch your video. I'll pretty much do everything differently than you. Which I will pay the price for later in the game. I would have given up on this game a long time ago without your videos. With your videos the game is actually fun.
"Forget about Freeman" Thank you for the video series - couldn't have got this far without your help. One suggestion to make thinks easier in the tank silo - Laser Mines. Before using the tank gun to burst thru the door 24:41 (behind which is the "Xen Gun"), place at least 3 laser mines (there are 2 in the room as replacements). Place one just outside the to-be-blasted-door-arch, and a couple behind the red boxes in the middle of the room. When the bad guys spawn in, they get blasted, and any that try and hide (behind the red boxes) also get mopped up. Finish what are left with the wasp gun.
With the pods at about 7 minutes in I used the hornets to break them and they didn't even follow me, with the explosives you can also destroy the one before it using the hornets making it a 2 in one.
At 8:42, place a laser mine at the side so when the Grunt spawns in, he'll die from the explosion but after you killed the Grunt hiding from the green crate run or you'll take damage.
"Forget about Freeman"
Well Gaben sure as hell got those orders but us fans haven't forgot about Freeman
yup
Lol
With a new Half:Life game, we sure will remember Freeman once again
@@CookieJar2025 yeah
CookieJar
Considering the post-credits scene for HL:A? Yeah. They didn’t forget.
Hahahahahaha 19:45 "You can fire 3 to 4 maybe 5 rockets. And it will take care of the tank..." *Fires 6 rockets, 47 machine gun bullets and 2 frag grenades* "Fuck it, we're gonna go back and get rockets" BigMac you're a legend.
xD probably better than pewdiepie
I counted 7 rockets.
17:06
BigMacDavis: Retrace your steps a little bit-
Barnacle: HAHA! I CAUGHT YOU!
BigMacDavis: Well first, we gotta kill this Barnacle.
Barnacle: NOOOO!!!!! *Dies*
BicMacDavis Wise words
My friend started playing Half-Life, we're at a sleepover and we're playing side by side. He's playing Apprehension, and I'm playing forget about freeman. He says to me
"AUGH, this is the longest chapter EVER!!!!!!"
Me: "sur. face. ten. sion.
Him: "What?"
- KidComediansGAME - I love how Apprehension is not one of the longest chapters at all and the previous chapter (On a Rail) is much much longer. And yeah Surface Tension. .-.
@@samlivermore8709 I just saved my Questionable Ethics with 20 HP 60 armor. Can't wait for Surface Tension.
It's getting tency at the surface
in my opinion i think apprehension is one of the shortest chapters (but it technically isnt)
On a rail is total nightmare, but Interloper is the most frustating
Forget about Morgan, Focus at Gordon!
I love your voice. The way you talk, too. There's just something about how you say everything you say and narrate so fluently while still sounding stiffly direct that makes you a joy to listen to! Hats and helmets off to you, sir!
that is exactly how i think, not only are his walkthroughs good, but that VOICE
"Grab the machine gun grenades if you need em"
*"Forget about Freeman! We are cutting our losses and pulling out, everyone left down there is on his own, repeat, if you weren't already you are now fuc....."* -Unknown dead Marine.
Thanks so much for this walk through! I'm of a later gamer generation, so I'm not so great at the puzzle/platforming segments. I have Half-Life open in a window and I've been using your videos as a strategy guide the whole time
Cheers, my friend, I'm glad you enjoy the Walkthrough. The puzzles in Half-Life can sometimes be annoying.
+BigMacDavis have you ever seen the *Half-Life without a HEV Suit* video? What do you think?
Same with me
Same bruh :v
All here
Game: how many snark pods do you want?
This level: *_Y E S_*
Surprisingly, you can "kill" the tank with the pistol, 20-30 bullets
That's one badass pistol.
I don't even struggle much with half-life, I just watch these because they're entertaining
thank you so much for these walkthroughs, I would never have progressed this far into the game without them.
OMFG, thanks for telling me about the secret room, or I wouldn't have survived the tank battle.
20:23 I never heard him say the F word before.
same???? i was so surprised
same
Ikr he isn't the kind of guy that would swear
2023? that's so last year
BigMacDavis talks like an old timey radio announcer, and then he says stuff like "stupid son of a bitch" and "anally raped."
When I first started this game I thought "man, this is very hard" but your walkthroughs make the whole game so easy! Thank you man, without you I probably would have died a lot of times.
"Now that's one big metal gear"
Too bad there's no cardboard boxes around...or nuclear weapon-toting massive mechs.
If it wasn't for you I would've never completed this amazing story.

The primairy of the hornet gun is a good way to counter the angry snarks.

Great walkthrough, showed me two locations I hadn't seen before even after all this time.
Cool, my friend, I'm glad! :)

Thank you, my friend, I'm glad these old videos were able to help you. :)
There are no better walkthroughs that I know of. Well done.
you dont have to run from the snarks, you can shoot them with the hornet gun while running back, with the primary fire of course
FORGET ABOUT FREEMAN!
I wanted to finally play half life through and it was kinda difficult. Watch your videos really helped you earned a subscriber
"Fuck it" - Jefferson Davis, 2013
He said a swear word in his narration.
I never heard him swear before
LEGEND
You know you could've just placed a trip mine at the edge of the entrance before blowing up that door with the tank, if you placed it far away enough the enemies will run right into it, blowing themselves up.
and where gonna ignore the fact it well explode with it
My strategy is using the hornet gun with those bug traps. Works great and you can keep the distance between the bugs. Awesome Half life vids. Desided to play again and ended up here lol
thanks for the walkthrough your a nice guy! :)
BigMacDavis, chapters 1-12: *leaves his flashlight on constantly without commenting on it*
BigMacDavis, chapter 13: "Why is my flashlight on?"
Once again thank you BMD for the great entertainment and thanks for adding me on steam :D
I like Snarks. Their lifetime is short :D Only 15-20 seconds :) LOL
unless you hold them in your hand :P
Unless you're holding them, then they magically stay alive
I wish my lifespan's that short
joke
I think that they explode because they get all tense and stressed due to the fighting so they explode, but when they are calm they won't explode. That's just my theory
this guy's commentary is so relaxing that i want to give him more watchtime
Wow, much appreciated. :)
This really helped me get a clean gameplay lol, without taking any damage. I'm like an hour into the game and I haven't taken any damage. Such great detail and tips to cleanly play this
Great walk throughs man
Great walkthrough!!!! Thank you!!!!
1:09 That'll be Area 51 in September.
Insects do have short life spans,but not 15 to 20 seconds.
BigMacDavis when he launched the rocket in the chapter "On A Rail": The rocket that we launched will stop the alien invasion
BigMacDavis now: Can we stop the alien invasion?
Somehow, I completed this chapter without your walkthrough! O-o
one thing i've always really liked about half-life is that when you surface for air you regenerate the health you lost from almost drowning (as long as you stay above the surface!)
yes actually, you do! just had to try it out myself to be sure :p

I find those Snarks hilarious. They sense at the very last moment that they're about to explode with that creepy noise. Speaking of the noises, they freak me out, man.
15:03 "That's a SHORT-LIFE for a battery" You could also call it a HALF-LIFE if you know what I mean haha
Man your voice is so funny. It sounds like League of Legends Spotlights people. haha very nice walkthrough man. Thank you
15:26 the most terrifying and creepy enemy in the entire game
2:21 I had no idea about that. I spent all my health and HEV to kill them, and it was all pointless.
that lovely zen gun
Ladies and Gentlemen says BigMacDavis :D currently, there are no ladies in half life because they adore every alien creature as you know the behaviour of girls right? like "Aaaw look at that awesome cutiepie snarks or the head crabs ......" -_-
Yes, I know that behavior all too well. I grew up with three sisters. -_-
***** The head crabs are ugly…but the snarks are cute…when they are not trying to eat you and explode at you. XD (PS: I'm a Portal Fan and i see why Cave Johnson hates the Marines. XD) (PSS: Aperture all the way! Everything is Black Mesa's fault. LOL)
Also, Great walkthrough! I really enjoyed it.
Kat Layman did u know that portal is in the same universe as half life, and that black mesa and aperture are competing companies
Kat Layman oh, ok
You are so good at commentating. It's unreal.
Best walkthrough, subbed
Wow, thank you, I appreciate it. :)
@@BigMacDavis I wish you can make a video about Black Mesa too. It will be awesome.
"That almost never happens I can't remember a time when it takes more then five" I'm sure you give that excuse tot the ladies all the time.
The answer to Snark pods is: Hornet Gun!
you can use primary fire hornets to take care of snarks, works really well.
You are again under the surface in this level .
"and where gonna ignore the security guard cuz he's no use to us"
security guard:"emotional damage"
Hahaha!!
Awesome video!
20:22 OMG HE SAID THE F WORD!!!
@@buttermilkjesus408 he has never used that word before or any similar word in general , it is surprising because he tends not to swear and talk like a radio comentarist.
0.0
I really liked re: snark pods "Yeah this is a tedious part of this game but uh ... " (waiting for silver lining?) " ... it's a requirement." (oh.)
It annoys me how they supposedly don't care about Freeman, yet there are still straggling Marines/Black Ops girls who are hunting you down in this mission and the next. WTF 😂😂
Repeat, we are pulling out and commencing airstrikes!
19:40 The tank only takes 2 rockets if you aim at the ground below it. You can also destroy it with 2 grenades or other explosives thrown under the tank.
Wait, isn't this first part also a Multiplayer map?
You are totally right.
On the turret part, where you flip the turret switch on there is a little box, if you stand on there and crouch up and down the aliens instantly get attracted to you whenever you pop up, this is how I handled that part without the turret dying then I just deactivated it. All aliens died without ever having to get my hands dirty nor sacrificing my precious turret-chan.
Oh gosh this is the next time i've seen half life in YEARS.
I'm giving you like for giving me the way to kill that Fish thing, this shit terrifies me too much
Thank you, my friend.
Walking into the storage area with the trampoline mold will trigger the Alien Grunt to teleport into the area.

yeah, i was fucked for 10000 times on this chapter.

Haha, yup!!
Im into half life bcz of u
ur just perfect man
Thank goodness those Snark mines only appear in Half-Life because they're not fun to deal with.

great vid, you know you can snoot snarks with the wasps
can't wait for next video!
14:52 this would look weird in 2 player coop for the playstation 2
Thx you again
sir
If you are careful at 21:29 you can go from the left of the Tank and sneak shoot the leg of the turret.
With the pods at about 7 minutes in I used the hornets to break them and they didn't even follow me, with the explosives you can also destroy the one before it using the hornets making it a 2 in one.
a trick with the pipes around 17:57- just go on top of the steam pipes after the secret area, throw a grenade into the water to take care of leeches.
i like the sound of hornets splashing in the water it's so calming :)
them Snarks must love you man
lol I jumped in the water with the ictheasour without thinking and got attacked by it. It surprised me so much I screamed and ran away.
20:23 just made my day. :D
another armor battery on the broken machine, left side.
***** At 25:27 i found it easier to lay trip mines for the aliens to appear. :) But thanks for the help you've helped me with!!
