Is it Possible to Beat Half Life 2 without Driving a Vehicle?

I want to see if I can beat Half Life 2 without the airboat or scout car. The game wants you to use them and sets up the level to force you to use them. In this video, I find out if you actually need to drive the vehicles.

Looks like Gordon is going to heaven at 1:48.

15:55 Don't worry, Leon followed you in the car

[@lenship2]

2:31 instead of using noclip, you could instead do r_drawclipbrushes 2 to show the invisible walls (a command that doesn't need server cheats to work)

[@KazyMatman]

That's neat, I'll be sure to keep it in mind.

The right ABH in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world

[@Nacil_54]

Yeees, perfect thing to watch while eating my breakfast. Also tip to see invisible walls, you can use the command r_drawclipbrushes 1 (only the outlines and through walls) or 2 (solid blocks) if you don't put a number it'll explain what the different colours of the walls mean.

Your title says "driving", not "using", so by using the power of semantics, I'd say hopping in the airboat, starting the engine, then leaving it again does not count as driving it. If you had used the word "using" or "operating" instead of driving, then it 100% would have counted.

[@JamesTDG]

Besides, if it did count, it would force the train to be counted as well

[@Depressed_until_dead]

3:50 you could NOT catch me having this kind of patience

[@JamesTDG]

I think via the rule you had with the train also counts with the airboat, you didn't drive the airboat, you ONLY entered it.

[@KazyMatman]

This seems to be the common sentiment. Thanks for weighing in!

[@A_Black_hoodie]

Great video man!

[@KazyMatman]

Thank you!

[@MisuAlexandru1]

"i kill all the zombies in the tunnel except for one, so he can his zombie friends to not rely on car centric infrastructure" i've lost it there, good job

[@KazyMatman]

Thanks!

[@Fenrakk101]

Sitting in a stationary vehicle, and pushing a vehicle, definitely don't count as "uses." The gravity gun can even be used to shove vehicles into triggers etc. I think using ABH as a "casual' is far more contentious, but a lot of those obstacles could probably also be bypassed with hours of prop-collecting and -stacking, so that's a wash lol

[@KazyMatman]

Bhopping isn't too hard to learn and I think most casual fans can learn to do it. It's one of those things that's easy to learn, hard to master.

[@KingMetalMario]

14:37 another way through is to climb up the wall to the right using props and hugging the fence as you move along the ledge

[@denifnaf5874]

Gordon got turned into a quake 4 strog (metal legs)

[@denis2381]

Oh yeah yeah ❤

[@ImBadAtNames2876]

at shorepoint, you dont need to bhop that bridge, theres a hill just up the road and i believe you can weasel your way through, though i havent tested it in a bit.

[@judsongaiden9878]

What if there was a mod that focused on either of the vehicles? You'd play as an ordinary rebel. If it's the airboat, it takes place right after Gordon uses it. If it's the dume buggy, it would take place some time before Gordon uses it. In either case, the maps should be constructed for maximum action movie-style stunts and over-the-top Carmageddon stuff. 0:43 But now you're The Toxic Avenger.

[@KazyMatman]

That would be so cool!

[@obiwaankenobi4460]

ngl 5:54 had me dead

[@madreghost]

keep up the goated work. i agree with the other comments, it doesnt count

[@ardagulsen1722]

Can you finish hl without mouse 1? Great video btw.

[@Noah-ib7dr]

good vid!

[@KazyMatman]

Tanks so much!

[@fireshark224]

There's something way way waayy cooler than backwards accelarated bhopping, its called accelarated sideways bhopping in which you bhop as fast as backwards but you can see whats in front of you while being able to bhop ultra fast, but it has 1 small issue, its moving you left or right depending on which side are you bhopping on, i prefer right.

[@numanmybro]

"so this is a challenge for a casual player like myself" 5 minutes in "...a reversed accelerated backhop allows you to gain massive amount of speed" 🗿

[@KazyMatman]

bhoping isn't hard to learn just hard to master.

[@acedominus]

Speedrunners: Pathetic

[@KazyMatman]

Yeah I know, I'm pretty bad. 😂

[@c17alexhalfer]

Dear aurhor, i want to point out some thoughts about our run. I mean ,i thinks, you overcomplicate some segments. 1: 2:07 - you could just wlk STRAIGHT FORWARD on this green forest with drawn trees (which you can walk through) and THEN jump down this wall before you. It can SWIFTLY get you to next map. Because map d1_canals _06 it's some kina corcle-like. Because after driving onto this toxic wastes you drive to another side of this wall you can jump over from this green meadow straigh forwarding you from 2:07 to 5:11 XD 2: 14:18 - you could reject Odessa's present-RPG and go to your way wothout spawning gunship llol XD Wy? Because on next mapone road ,where located car dump ,where you fighting another gunship - one of corpses have another PPG XD 3: and if i talk about this car dump ,which you don't shown in this video, i try to describe,tat i mean... 14:30 looking at this ladder at front of you in the far you can see this hghway road whth a car dump .In this segment you could DON'T use a crane and don't spawn another gunship walking to this road on 14:54. All that you need - use your secret rock climbing abilities (which is a simple enough to do) - and you reach your goal - don't use a buggy and a crane and can acqure an RPG from a corpse nearby... ^_^ Good luck ,good htalth to you and and how about a video on episode 2 vehicle challenge?

[@namesurname7665]

I'd say that neither pushing, nor just sitting inside counts as driving

[@JamesTDG]

2:44 I am surprised you just didn't use the command to show invisible walls

[@KazyMatman]

I didn't know of it at the time.

[@insertusername9755]

Combine stole all the fuel :(

[@KazyMatman]

It's been 20 year too, it's all bad by now. LOL

[@alfredmargritmeier6165]

nice video im touching myself rn

[@progaming5555]

what

[@OisirM]

As far as I'm concerned, just being in a car does not make you the driver, even if you are in the driver's seat. So I think four uses of the boat is fair. I was quite surprised that the ramp was an impassable hurdle. It would seem like there's plenty of weird little ledges and props to get through there. But I guess Valve were uncharacteristically thorough for no apparent reason. Looking forward to Episode 2. There are some very bizarre triggers in those levels. I've only tried futzing about with a few, but I'm sure there is a deceptively huge number of ways to completely shatter the game's idea of how you're supposed to be navigating.

[@KazyMatman]

Yeah it's weird that there are so many invisible walls. How many play testers got around the normal walls that invisible ones had to be made?🤔

[@Ultimaximus]

Is it illegal for someone without a driver's license to start up a car?

[@toohigh42069]

dude cant bhob for shiz. the whole challange wack without crazy momentum and cool airstrafes

[@progaming5555]

hi
