Bugs and Worms | Half Life Opposing Force | BLIND Playthrough | Episode 3

[@ShyGuyXXL]

Bro gets a colorful arsenal of fun alien weapons and just keeps using his friggin pistols and wrench. 😂

[@ethanlivemere1162]

The spore launcher is one of my favorite weapons. - It does good damage - It has infinite ammo if you wait for thise green spore pod things to replenish - It's cute

[@aether7242]

Love the series! Can't wait for you to check out the remaining half-life games :D

[@lois3469]

There's a lot of interesting things if you use alternative fire mode on your new expansive gun, its functions differ on levels Also, cacroch like things that new alien drops is something you can grab

[@MynameJeff32134]

Don't forget to use Displacer Cannons (the teleporter gun) secondary fire, it will take you to small Xen chambers with some supplies in them, but don't forget to quicksave before using it, because sometimes you will fall to your death in Xen. 13:53 you were supposed to use the displacer cannon on that icthyosaur, but i guess it was just passive XD. 19:55 and on those ones too. 15:38 Shock Trooper (Race X alien. Basically it's a soldier and way worse than an Alien Grunt, because it has 200 HP on hard mode, while Grunts have 120 on hard) the fastest way to kill them is to shoot them in the eye. They also throw spore grenades at you. 22:58 Voltigore (Race X alien) Basically they are mini-bosses. 31:36 Spore Launcher (Race X alien, which is also an infant (baby) Shock Trooper. IDFK how scientists managed to capture it.) They have a secondary fire too. 32:22 Sprite (Race X alien) idk if i should refer to them as aliens, they are basically flying particles, they don't harm you, they just fly around. Also... they charge portals... 42:01 Shockroach (Race X alien, they are used as weapons by Shock Troopers. It's slightly better than a Hive Hand (Bee Gun) After you kill a Shock Trooper, Shockroach pops out and tries to latch onto you. They actually die on their own unless they have a host (if you take some distance away from it, it will die on its own) 47:24 Pit Worm (Race X alien. Basically this chapter is just Gearbox copying the Blast Pit (Tentacles) chapter, except shorter and not as cool. Not much is known about Race X. They only appear in Opposing Force, with most of it taking place after Gordon leaves the earth, they appear sometime during Surface Tension (around the time when the Marines start to evacuate) The bugs that you encountered in this playthrough are very common, there are mods that fix them though. Nice playthrough, it's gonna get more intense than Surface Tension from now on :)

[@OblomSaratov]

Also using the displacer secondary fire in Xen would sometimes take you to some interesting locations of Black Mesa, like a part of HL1's Hazard Course.

[@ezepauer]

I love how you become a proper half life player saving every two seconds. Something we all learned the bad way! Can’t wait for the next half life games!

[@rx303303]

Too bad you didn't try alternative fire on a portal gun. Its effect differs from level to level.

[@DorukPlaysGames]

I'm gonna load up an old save and try it throughout the levels

[@ChefPrownlos]

@@DorukPlaysGames You're going to have a surprise if you use it in the Xen map

[@rx303303]

@@DorukPlaysGames If I'm not mistaken, if you use it right away, it transports you to a part of original HL training course. In the remaining cases - just to different small areas to resupply. Not sure if every level has its own teleport location, but there definitely were several different along the game.

[@yasiek89]

"Help me, step-gman, I'm stuck" :D That was good episode, too bad they are so short. I think the next one should be the last for Opposing Force, if you won't lose your mind

[@Ribulose15diphosphat]

17:46 The other islands would have been reached with the displacers alternate fire.

[@Dolphin002]

37:50 I didn't know you could do that, once again showing me things I didn't know existed Remember to try your alt fires!

[@fllthdcrb]

You didn't know the Spore Launcher is a weapon?? Or the reaction to hitting its ammo supply things?

[@tooth1539]

The short recap before the action starts is real nice.

[@3axapTv]

Red lights in trash compactor room and room itself is a Star Wars reference

[@aikawayumi_art]

iirc, 40:18 those bugs can be picked up and used as a weapon also, if im correct, that scientific gun that you use to blast aliens can also shoot portals. used to help you navigate around the xen area and some secrets. try not to forget that most weapons have alt fires as for the pods that holds that bio-grenade launcher rounds, if that pod takes damage, it spits out the grenade round as seen in 37:48

[@dracmeister]

Yeah pretty much. Newer machines cause these weird "getting stuck on elevators" bit and suddenly getting gibbed by a moving brush. Elevators were effectively a hack and it had no proper physics simulation, it simply just drops you down to whatever axis it was moving. Moving Brushes are actually all "doors" including elevators, moving platforms. Sometimes doors can be set to stop moving or reverse when colliding with an entity or brush. Some doors can deal damage when obstructed (crushers). Yeah, what's basically happening with crusher there is that when the game is doing checks on collision takes gravity into account and sometimes even when you're not falling, so to the game, your actual position is set a few units down and since the crusher needed to deal damage to crush all of the junk in the trash compactor, it also dealt it to you.

[@hazzmati]

Not sure about newer machines causing the elevator back. I remember back in the day getting the same bug regularly, I playing the WON version on my Windows xp machine. Valve never seemed interested going back to OP4 and fixing these old bugs.

[@JamesBeignet]

Ahha damn getting stuck on elevators. I remember having this kind of problems also when making/playing my own maps. Never exactly figured out how to avoid them whatsoever, but as a player, I guess wiggling in the vertical axis ( crouch/jump/move etc) sometimes help

[@Tulemasin]

The abundance of bugs must be some modern PC or an update thing because when I played it 20 years ago I didn't get any of those. The green pod things shoot out and bounce around from the walls if you shoot them with any weapon, not only the green lizard thing. Also try the alternative fireing on some of the new weapons. Some have cool features, others don't do anything. PS: I've been meaning to say this since the base game videos but you can break small cardboard boxes also which contain useful loot.

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

22:47 you killed your next weapon...again.

[@CeeTheFlash]

Outside of Coca-Cola, I’m only touching Inca Kola 😂 It’s Peruvian and it tastes like liquid gold. Looks like it too!

[@fllthdcrb]

Doesn't that just mean it tastes like metal? 😆

[@TheMightyAtomNL]

Oof, I gotta tell ya, I died a little on the inside when you tried everything but the alternative fire mode of the Displacer Cannon. It should come to you naturally, not only in this game, but in any game: you get a new gun to play with, you try out the primary AND the secondary fire modes.

[@c0l1n_m45]

Stop using the glock when you have the smg Doruk, they use the same ammo.

[@zeitgeistlime]

When I played through I had none of these bugs! You gotta be chatstrotically unlucky

[@aaronkonrat8690]

I pretty much sure that you're on point. At some point, the 20 year anyversary update broke many mods too. And even before the 20 years' there were some updates that broke them too.

[@dracmeister]

The whole "getting stuck on an elevator" bit has been there for quite a bit actually. And yeah they're right about newer machines causing this. Devcommentary from the 20th anniversery does mention how elevators are just broken in GoldSrc, it had to do with mismatching processing between entities and brushes. This is why when NPCs get on elevators, they jitter here and there. The elevators were just made in a time where the processes were done in near synchronization. The 20th anniversery broke other things though but not the "getting stuck in elevarors" bit. Steampipe mostly broke Source (nkt GoldSrc) games, though the only majorly affected game was Half-life Source since every other game made with Source has branched off from it. Also, yeah as much praise as Opposing Force got nobody really talks about how buggy the expansion was-even before the 20th anniversery.

[@hazzmati]

The getting stuck on the elevator bug is ancient and I'm surprised it was never fixed. I remember playing the WON version and getting that elevator bug regularly during my playthroughs of OP4. Nothing has changed.

[@ShmuPixel]

Too bad you had so many collision bugs in this game... I don't remember having any, so maybe you're right and it has to do with the anniversary edition and/or better framerate. Hopefully this won't affect your appreciation of the game too much, to me this is the most interesting game in the series just from the amount of weird alien guns it has. The rope mechanic was very innovative at the time too, although a bit finicky.

[@burningsheep4473]

I did remember the Spore Launcher as being better, which I suppose is down to lower enemy health on Normal. On Hard it was still fairly useful though. Never found too much of a use for the alt fire.

[@burningsheep4473]

Oh, and I think somebody has already mentioned it, but Opposing Force was made by Gearbox, not Valve. I don't think the the 25th Anniversary Update did affect the Gearbox-expansions in any way.

[@connieredacted7557]

Shame the expansions didn't get the same amount of love as the main game with the anniversary update, some bugs i remember from before like the elevators, some came after and some are still there after supposedly being fixed???

[@juxxtapoz]

I just started replaying this game recently because of your playthrough and I'm not running into 90% of the bugs you are dealing with. Its very strange. I know the bugs existed long before the anniversary update though. I think they were mostly caused by the Steampipe update many years ago and just have never been fixed. You should try overcharging the teleporter gun. If you directly hit an enemy with the teleporter gun it doesn't kill them but just teleports them back to Xen so you no longer need to deal with them. Also, make sure you are breaking open the smaller cardboard type boxes for more items.

[@GoldSrc_]

Most (if not all) of those bugs you encountered are ancient, the 25th anniversary update probably just made them happen more often.

[@AndrewSephiTV]

There are a few community-made mods that fix most of the bugs in HLOF. Because I don't do mods and stuff I am not sure which one is the best, but I know they exist.

[@hyperteleXii]

Epic bugging out

[@baslifico]

I player through Op For without a single bug, back in the day. Not sure why you've got it so bad.

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

The bug with the elevator, where you stick, can sometimes be fixed if you crouch. It doesn't always work but some of the time it can help you get unstuck from the elevator floor.

[@staryoshi06]

I had a similar issue playing a mod recently and seemed to get automatically unstuck after waiting a bit.

[@killerguythefox]

as someone who has played alot of half life. no worries its just how it is with the goldsrc engine. i remember distinctly several of the collision issues you had is ones i experienced. Im not sure what causes them in some cases. but i can tell you its potentially just wonky entity stuff sometimes leftover from development and maybe framerate specific glitches. which are a thing because in the outer silo area in hl1 one of the platforms to the center that can be destroyed at low frame rates can make the entity colllsion box from before the gap is created by exploding the barrels appear albeit invisibly. which was a trick in speedruns at one point. either way its a quirky engine that has its silly moments.

[@lois3469]

I never saw so many bugs in OpF, It's definitely because of 20 year update for original hl1, its basically fixed hl1, but it broke expansions a little bit. After this update you couldn't play expencions for few days or a week, because they didn't work at all.

[@Slybo]

New Rule: You are not allowed to use the garbage pistol unless you are out of everything except heavy weapon ammo.

[@williamfrederickson1702]

Opposing Force and Blue Shift did not get the anniversary update, so they more or less remain in their previous states and are probably why you got that many bugs. They were not developed by Valve to begin with, which is why I presume they were not included.

[@oiytd5wugho]

There was a lot of getting stuck. If it happens again and you don't have a recent save you can enable the console in the settings and then press *~* and type "sv_cheats 1; noclip"and press *~* again, then fly up a little, press *~* and type "noclip; sv_cheats 0" . Turning cheats on for a little bit won't do anything to the game since there aren't achievements in it unfortunately moving platforms got broken some time ago I think edit: or you can paste " alias +fly "sv_cheats 1; noclip" alias -fly "noclip; sv_cheats 0" bind x +fly " into the same console and you can now get unstuck by holding *x* and flying

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

16:34 you killed you next weapon.

[@burningsheep4473]

On 13:00 I have to say I disagree. At least on Hard the Black Ops soldiers and assassins were probably harder than anything else for me. At least in some parts.
