Jokes aside, here is the amazing setup for this beautiful game series. Imagine you: -Work your whole life to achieve a doctorate in theoretical physics -Are hired by one of the top research facilities in the country or on the planet -Receive a promotion to working on the most cutting edge of technology at said facility -Go in for your first day in your new position -Are given the chance to take part in one of the most valuable research experiments in this specific division -Receive the honor of catalyzing the experiment itself by introducing the sample to the study equipment -Don a suit specifically for those working as close as humanly possible to initial reaction of the experiment, witnessing it closer than any other human being would receive the chance to and after doing everything you've done to be here, studied to understand, trained to perform, and worked to achieve The first and only action you take *ENDS* *THE* *FUCKING* *WORLD*
- go in on your first day You're also late for work! The time is 8:47AM. You arrive late, the stress of going to work late. This world class research facility, the NPCs and science themes speak of chaos theory. The butterfly effect from mundane actions, like being late for work. It's like gman said in half life 2: the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
The title "Half-Life" fades into a first person perspective of the inside of an automated train. Words appear on screen: "Black Mesa Research Facility: Black Mesa, New Mexico". A recorded message begins to play on the loudspeaker. Announcer: "Good morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa transit system. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel. The time is 8:47 A.M. Current topside temperature is 93 degrees with an estimated high of 105. The Black Mesa compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times. This train is inbound from level 3 dormitories to sector C test labs and control facilities. If your intended destination is a high security area beyond sector C, you will need to return to the central transit hub in area 9 and board a high security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to the retinal clearance system, you must report to Black Mesa personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high security branch of the transit system. "Due to the high toxicity of material routinely handled in the Black Mesa compound, no smoking, eating, or drinking are permitted within the Black Mesa transit system. Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times. Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete halt at the station platform. In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction. If it is necessary to exit the train, disabled personnel should be evacuated first. Please, stay away from electrified rails and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives. " Words appear on the screen as the announcer continues: SUBJECT: Gordon Freeman Male, Age 27 EDUCATION: Ph.D., MIT, Theoretical Physics POSITION: Research Associate ASSIGNMENT: Anomalous Materials Laboratory CLEARANCE: Level 3 ADMINISTRATIVE SPONSOR: Classified DISASTER RESPONSE PRIORITY: Discretionary Announcer: "A reminder: that the Black Mesa Hazard Course decathalon will commence this evening at 1900 hours in the Level 3 facility. The semi-finals for high security personnel will be announced in a separate secure broadcast transmission. Remember: more lives than yours may depend on your fitness. "Do you have a friend or relative who would make a valuable addition to the Black Mesa Team? Immediate openings are available in the areas of: materials handling, and low clearance security. Please contact Black Mesa personnel for further information. If you have an associate with a background in the areas of: theoretical physics, biotechnology, or other high-tech disciplines, please contact our civilian recruiting team. The Black Mesa Facility is an equal opportunity employer. "A reminder to all Black Mesa personnel: regular radiation and biohazard screenings are a requirement of continued employment in the Black Mesa Research Facility. Missing a scheduled urinalysis or radiation checkup is grounds for immediate termination. If you feel you have been exposed to radioactive or other hazardous materials in the course of your duties, contact your radiation safety officer immediately. Work safe, work smart. Your future depends on it." The train stops at a long catwalk and a security officer walks toward it. Announcer: "Now arriving at sector C test labs and control facilities. Please stand back from the automated door, and wait for the security officer to verify your identity. Before exiting the train, be sure to check your area for personal belongings. Thank you, and have a very safe and productive day." Security Guard: "Mornin, Mr. Freeman. Looks like you're runnin late." Freeman steps into the airlock. Words onscreen announce the beginning of: ANOMALOUS MATERIALS Freeman walks up to the desk. There is a security guard and a scientist. Security Guard: "Hey, Mr. Freeman. I had a bunch of messages for you, but we had a system crash about 20 minutes ago, and I'm still tryin to find my files. Just one of those days, I guess. They were havin some problems down in the test chamber, too, but I think that's all straightened out. They told me to make sure you headed down there as soon as you got into your hazard suit." Freeman pushes a button, causing a computer terminal to pop up. Scientist: "Get away from there, Freeman! I'm expecting an important message!" Freeman pushes a button under the desk, setting off a security alarm. Scientist: "My God! What are you doing?!" Guard: "Hey, stop that! Come on, Gordon, are you trying to get me into trouble?" Freeman heads into the complex, overhearing some of the conversation between the scientists. Heading toward the test chamber, Freeman is stopped by the security guard. Guard: "Sorry, Mr. Freeman, I got explicit orders not to let you through without your hazard suit on." Freeman goes to the locker room and puts on his hazard suit. H.E.V.: "Welcome to the H.E.V. mark IV protective system for use in hazardous environment conditions. High-impact reactive armor activated. Atmospheric contaminant sensors activated. Automatic medical systems engaged. Defensive weapon selection system activated. Munition level monitoring activated. Communications interface online. Have a very safe day." The guard now allows Freeman through and uses the retinal scanner to open the door to the test lab. Guard: "Go right on through sir. Looks like you're in the barrel today." Gordon proceeds through the test lab and comes upon a group of three scientists. Scientist 1: "Ah, Gordon. Here you are. We just sent the sample down to the test chamber. " Scientist 2: "We boosted the anti-mass spectrometer 105%. Bit of a gamble, but we need the extra resolution." Scientist 3: "The administrator is very concerned that we get a conclusive analysis of today's sample. I gather they went to some length to get it." Scientist 1: "They're waiting for, Gordon, in the test chamber." The scientist unlocks the door for Gordon using the retinal scanner. He proceeds down an elevator and toward the test chamber. On the way there, a circuit board explodes near two scientists, who rush over to check it out. Scientist 4: "It's about to go critical!" Scientist 5: "What the hell is going on with our equipment?" Scientist 4: "It wasn't meant to do this in the first place." Gordon reaches the entrance to the test chamber, where two scientists are waiting for him. Scientist 6: "I'm afraid we'll be deviating a bit from standard analysis procedures today, Gordon." Scientist 7: "Yes, but with good reason. This is a rare opportunity for us. This is the purest sample we've seen yet." Scientist 6: "And, potentially, the most unstable." Scientist 7: "Now, now, if you follow standard insertion procedure, everything will be fine." Scientist 6: "I don't know how you can say that. Although I will admit that the possibility of a resonance cascade scenario is extremely unlikely." Scientist 7: "Gordon doesn't need to hear all this, he's a highly trained professional. We've assured the administrator that nothing will go wrong." Scientist 6: "Ah...yes, you're right. Gordon, we have complete confidence in you." Scientist 7: "Well, go ahead. Let's let him in now." The two scientists use retinal scanners to unlock the door, and Gordon enters the test chamber. Inside, the scientists communicate with Gordon over the intercom. Intercom 1: (feedback)"Testing, testing. (coughs) Everything seems to be in order." Intercom 2: "All right, Gordon. your suit should keep you comfortable through all this. The specimen will be delivered to you in a few moments. If you would be so good as to climb up and start the rotors, we can bring the anti-mass spectrometer to 80 percent and hold it there until the carrier arrives. Intercom 2: "Gordon, are you not hearing me? Climb up and start the rotors, please. Intercom 2: "Very good. We'll take it from here." Intercom 1: "Power to stage 1 emitters in 3,2,1. I'm seeing predictable phase arrays." Intercom 1: "Stage 2 emitters activating...now." Intercom 2: "Gordon, we cannot predict how long the system can operate at this level, nor how long the readings will take. Please, work as quickly as you can." Intercom 1: "Overhead capacitors to one oh five percent. Uh, it's probably not a problem, probably, but I'm showing a small discrepancy in... well, no, it's well within acceptable bounds again. Sustaining sequence." Intercom 2: "I've just been informed that the sample is ready, Gordon. It should be coming up to you any moment now. Look to the delivery system for your specimen." Gordon pushes the cart into the machine. Electricity begins arcing out of control all around the machine. Intercom 1: "Oh dear!" Intercom 2: "Gordon, get away from the-" Intercom 1: "Shutting down-no, attempted shutdown. It's not-it's not, it's not shutting down!" A huge explosion rocks the spectrometer, and the intercom cuts off in a scream. Gordon sees several flashes of an alien landscape, then comes to in the wreckage of the machine. The next chapter title comes up: UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES
This is a state of art game presentation. Guys, think about it, this was released in 1999, I mean, super advanced graphic development. Sory about my english. Hope you understand.
I kinda remember this game. My cousin used to do cheat codes and give himself all weapons and immortality. And something called noclip. On the very opening of the game here he would shoot and kill all the innocent people he saw. Pretty dark lol
This was such a confusing chapter but thankfully this walkthrough was here to help me, this is great!
boi if this is confusing you must've strugled with chapter 12
How tf was this confusing. Its just a god damn cutscene.
Its sarcasm@@TheTopHat-ox6fv6ti2l
someone didnt understand sarcasm
@@TheTopHat-ox6fv6ti2l you're an idiott if you don't get the joke

why would they let someone on their first day (which I don't think is the case, given the camaraderie between Gordon and Barney) run the show?

if you ever feel useless in life just remember someone made a walk through for black mesa inbound
@Zack Smith because you don't have to do anything
:(
Would it really make sense to start on chapter 3 tho?
It was actually very helpful as my train for some reason malfunctioned and send me to Barney
I mean it's the first part of the game. Why wouldn't he include it?
Got lost on first chapter.
*visible confusion*
If you set host_framerate to go fast enough, the tram can get stuck, so I guess that could be getting lost?
@@TinyDeskEngineer but like. you can restart it.
this chapter was way to hard, thanks for guiding me to the end of this impossible chapter!
Thank god, I always died from sticking my arm and legs out of it
0:12 Yo, it's Calhoun, the main protagonist of Half-Life Blue Shift.
I fucking hate how long this scene takes to play when all you want to do is replay one of the best games of all time.
This day started just as every other for Gordon Freeman...
Id why the police not coming to me and open the door
Bug
What
Wait.. you're supposed to get off the train? Damn. I thought that's the ending of half life.
Thank you SOO MUCH!!! I got lost in this chapter

he's not coming for opnening the door
Me too
Omg this was so hard. Thank you so much for making this.

jeez this chapter was so hard thank you so much
How does anyone beat this?!
Nice 👍
He's nerves me hé don't Come to me and open the door why
why the security guard is not movee... to open the door.? if any button keyboard should i use it??
It doesn't open for me either, can you open it?
It's Half-Life, not Half Life.
Fuck off
Umm... I'm confused
@Nate yes. Yes it does.
It’s leviOSA, not leviOSA
its not a big deal, fucktard.
