[@wrenbeck3370]

The entity duplication thing with HL:DM Source is actually the worst thing, like I used to play it with my brother, and our matches on Stalkyard would devolve into me hiding getting stuck inside a crate because the "door"(?) would duplicate and prevent me from leaving, then immediately being obliterated with SMG grenades. Needless to say, when I convinced him to use the original Half-Life for deathmatch, the experience became a _lot_ more enjoyable.

[@erykdoors]

[@wadmodderschalton5763]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3TNo6NoaNF1ia8si=fR9KPjorN-ZZGIz9&t=107 THE EXACT SAME DANCES

[@MagnetismR]

Because of the nature of the ported GoldSrc maps, the training does not rely on completing specific actions to advance. You can complete the entire hazard course without ever gaining the HEV suit, because it's not connected to the door, the trigger around it is. The delay is so the HEV plays its introductory voice lines.

1:20 From my experience of playing the Hazard Course many times in as many ways I can think of: I am pretty sure the trigger is just standing in that area and not picking up the suit. Because, as seen here, even when you already have it/just can not pick it up the door will open anyway, even if the sound files do not play.

1:50 - if memory serves, loading a single player map in multiplayer did the same thing in the WON release.

[@CallOfCutie69]

I remember something similar in ancient CS builds with half-removed Half-Life. I would get pistol in the starting train, doors would not open in path of the train, or would open not fully, the assets were distorted, maps wouldn’t load. I think it was before Half-Life 2 times. Now I wonder if it was the result of something similar, copying and pasting maps. Or maybe my memory is unreliable and this is exactly what I saw two decades ago. Now that I see door opening not fully at 6:47, I finally have a confirmation this was not a fever dream. I remember getting squashed by train that tried going through it, and the train getting stopped by these half-open doors. But I somehow remember having a USP there and Half-Life mixing with CS assets. So perhaps there was something similar, but with Counter-Strike that had Half-Life assets removed from it for saving space, but then having HL maps loaded into it. Because I remember this abomination being on gldSrc.

[@AdudenamedKemp]

I played Half-Life 2 for the first time in a similar way. I bought HL2: Deathmatch, then installed a mod called Riot Act. Turned out that Riot Act still had the HL2 maps in the game files, so I loaded d1_trainstation_01 in the console and played through the whole game. Some of the viewmodels were different and the buggy had no Tau Cannon, but other than that, it worked!
