Half-life: blue shift. прохождение игры

Reception[edit]

Blue Shift received a mixed reaction from critics, holding overall scores of 67.40% and 71/100 on the review aggregator sites GameRankings and Metacritic, respectively. The game has sold around 800,000 copies at retail (this figure does not include later sales on Steam). In a review for IGN, critic Tal Blevins noted that Blue Shift‘s gameplay «is pretty much what we’ve come to expect out of Half-Life» by blending action and puzzle solving, stating that the latter «were all logical and well done, although some of the jumping puzzles were frustrating». Though IGN praised the game for maintaining the «epic» feel of the original, Blevins was critical of the relatively short length of the game.GameSpot reviewer Greg Kasavin agreed with many of IGN’s criticisms, stating that «it’s not that the game is easy so much that it’s extremely short» and that Blue Shift «doesn’t amount to much on its own terms». In addition, Kasavin described the graphical enhancements brought about by the High Definition pack as «helpful», but noted that «they still don’t make Half-Life look like a new game—nor are many of the changes themselves very noticeable».

Other reviews echoed complaints about the similarity of Blue Shift to previous games. GameSpy’s reviewer Jamie Madigan stated that «what really pulls the game down is the ‘more of the same’ factor». Although writing that the game «feels like just a few more levels for the original game», he noted that this is what Blue Shift was designed to be, given its origins as an add-on for a Dreamcast version of Half-Life. Madigan described the single-player campaign as «decent» and commented that the High Definition pack made the game «worthy of consideration».Eurogamer echoed criticism on the game’s length; reviewer Tom Bradwell commented that «although I’m hard pressed to criticize what you get, the complete absence of everything we’ve learnt from the likes of Counter-Strike and everything since is frankly bizarre». Bradwell did, however, criticize the game’s artificial intelligence and the occasional bug that caused a player to get stuck on a wall.PC Zone‘s Mark Hill was more lenient in his comments, praising the game’s artificial intelligence as «intelligent as you could hope an AI enemy to be». In addition, Hill praised the game for showing more activity in the base, noting that «a whole world goes on around you, with people eating at a cantina and scientists doing their laundry. The complex is more alive than ever before». Hill also praised the focus «on a greater interaction with scientists as proper people rather than the two or three models that were cloned throughout the facility who kept repeating the same phrases», describing this as Blue Shift‘s «greatest achievement». PC Zone‘s review closed by commenting that «as a Dreamcast extra it works perfectly, but as a standalone PC title there’s not nearly enough to it.»

Chapter 2: Insecurity

The Shooting Range seen through a camera

As a seemingly normal day at work starts, Barney Calhoun visits security headquarters, including a shooting range and a surveillance room where it is possible to see Gordon Freeman again on camera heading towards the HEV Storage Area. Calhoun is then sent to help some scientists with an elevator; along the way, he witnesses many incidents foreshadowing the resonance cascade, such as a pair of scientists vainly trying to fix a supercomputer. He also sees the G-Man passing by in a tram.
After repairing the elevator, the resonance cascade occurs; the elevator is jammed, the cable snaps and sends Calhoun and two scientists plummeting down the shaft as chaos breaks out around them. As the elevator collides with the bottom of the elevator shaft, Calhoun falls unconscious.

ОС Android 12 вышла. Какие устройства получат апдейт?

На прошлой неделе состоялся релиз финальной версии ОС Android 12. Перечисляем, когда и на какие смартфоны придёт обновление.

Google Pixel

Традиционно первыми актуальную версию «зелёного робота» получат фирменные устройства Google. Обычно апдейт прилетал на аппараты Pixel в день выхода операционки. Но в этом году компании требуется больше времени на доработку специальной модификации Android 12 с эксклюзивными фишками для Pixel. Так что пока опубликован лишь исходный код AOSP-сборки системы.

Это позволяет вендорам уже сейчас начать разработку своих оболочек поверх ОС. В то же время, по словам Google, обновление по воздуху разойдётся на телефоны Pixel в ближайшие недели.

Android 12 получат следующие модели:

• Pixel 3 и 3 XL

Overview[edit]

Main article: Half-Life: Blue Shift storyline

The retail Blue Shift package offers the Half-Life High Definition Pack as an option during installation. The pack includes updated 3D character, weapon, and item models, some of which increase the polygon count 10-fold over the 1998 originals. The U.S. Blue Shift release includes a full, stand-alone version of Opposing Force, but the international edition has the multiplayer-only Opposing Force CTF.

Blue Shift’s content was at first designed as an exclusive add-on to the Half-Life Sega Dreamcast port. Due to Sega pulling the plug on the Dreamcast, the port was cancelled weeks from release. It was originally titled Half-Life: Guard Duty. The Blue Shift content was re-tooled into a stand-alone product; unlike Opposing Force, it does not require the original Half-Life to run.

The game features areas of Black Mesa previously unseen in a relatively short campaign. Along with the High Definition Pack, new content includes a unique character model belonging to Rosenberg, a Black Mesa scientist who plays a major role in the story, and additional scientist and security guard models sporting casual attire.

Half-Life: Blue Shift вылетает. В определенный или случайный момент. Решение

Играете вы себе, играете и тут — бац! — все гаснет, и вот уже перед вами рабочий стол без какого-либо намека на игру. Почему так происходит? Для решения проблемы стоит попробовать разобраться, какой характер имеет проблема.

Если вылет происходит в случайный момент времени без какой-то закономерности, то с вероятностью в 99% можно сказать, что это ошибка самой игры. В таком случае исправить что-то очень трудно, и лучше всего просто отложить Half-Life: Blue Shift в сторону и дождаться патча.

Однако если вы точно знаете, в какие моменты происходит вылет, то можно и продолжить игру, избегая ситуаций, которые провоцируют сбой.

The contents of Calhoun’s locker show family/friends pictures, two books titled The Truth About Aliens and Government Conspiracies and a small cardboard box, mirroring Gordon Freeman’s locker contents in Half-Life.

When destroyed, the box reveals a Chumtoad.It will take all the ammo from the armory, including what comes with your hand gun when you first get it to destroy the box.

One of the toilets reveal a photo of a man with eggs (or Easter eggs) in his eye sockets. This picture can be found again in a vent later in . The person is one of the developers for Gearbox.

Near to where Harold is found, there is an unusual box of gears with a supply of ammunition. This is probably a reference to Gearbox.

Essential improvements[edit]

Higher definition modelsedit

The High Definition Pack was created by Gearbox and first released alongside with Blue Shift on June 12, 2001. It was released for free on Steam on August 30, 2005, with a fixed version released a year later. This pack replaces most weapon and player/enemy models with higher polygon versions, substantially altering the style of some of them in the process. The option to enable the pack in-game is in the options menu, and the game must be restarted for it to take effect.

Remade WON Menuedit

The menu also adds the «Custom Game» feature that was present in the WON version, where the player could select from an in-game menu to switch mods in-game. This feature is disabled by default in the Steam release, as Half-Life doesn’t have true native support to allow run time switching, and, according to Alfred, the engineering effort to fix the function is better spent elsewhere.

Menus are 4:3 by default and cannot be stretched to fullscreen. In-game is untouched.

Enabling developer modeedit

Enabling developer mode will allow use of in-game cheats and various console commands.

Chapter 1: Living Quarters Outbound

―Black Mesa Announcement System 

As the game begins, Barney Calhoun rides the tram from the Area 8 Topside Dormitories on the surface, into the underground sector of the Black Mesa Research Facility. Along the way many new details about Black Mesa are revealed; Calhoun passes a laundromat and several fast food outlets, suggesting that the facility is very self-sufficient and probably houses many of its workers.
While Calhoun is locked outside the door to Area 3 Security Facilities, he is passed by Gordon Freeman riding in another tram heading towards Sector C in a scene that mirrors one in the original game, in which Gordon Freeman sees a guard locked out of a door on the inside of a tunnel.

Chapter 5: Focal Point

Triangulation device on Xen.

Barney Calhoun and Rosenberg reach an older part of the Black Mesa Research Facility where a disused teleporter system is being reassembled by scientists. To make the teleporter completely operational, Calhoun is forced to travel to Xen and activate a device to allow teleportation to happen. Notable in the older part of the facility is older-looking models of health and HEV chargers and the use of hand scanners instead of retina scanners for identification.

The remainder of the game takes place in an abandoned, walled-up sector of the base originally built for research of the first teleporter device. Calhoun, Rosenberg, and two other scientists (Walter Bennet and Simmons) try to restart the prototype teleporter. Calhoun is briefly teleported to a ruined human research camp on Xen to operate a triangulation device.

Blue Shift: Unlocked

Blue Shift wasn’t initially available on Steam like Half-Life and Opposing Force. In August 2005, the Half-Life Improvement Team released a mod that ported the legacy version of Blue Shift to Steam, allowing the player to play it as a fully working mod for HL1 rather than its own stand-alone game. This had the added benefit of letting Blue Shift take advantage of features that had been added to the GoldSrc engine since then, such as detail textures. Almost immediately after, Valve made Blue Shift officially available—but it used its original engine, and suffered from many of the same bugs as the legacy version. A few months later, the porting project was updated, and renamed to Blue Shift: Unlocked.

Unused Sounds

Scientist

Most of these sounds are alternate takes on existing lines said by other actors’ characters (the Security Guard and Dr. Rosenberg) in the final game, but said by the Scientist’s actor instead.

Security Guard

Details

The main objectives of this project:

• A complete re-creation of each chapter.
• Models and sequences will push the game engine to the limit.
• Multiplayer will be completely different then other modifications. Rather than a Deathmatch mode, there will be Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag modes. There will be a «running, surviving, and working together» game mode, with the purpose of escaping the facility before it is completely destroyed. This won’t be in the initial release.
• New voice acting, sounds, and visuals.
• Level design of the chapter will be expanded. It will utilize the Source Engine.
• Complete original music tracks that is not sharing with the original game.
• An all-new soundtrack.

Weapons

• Crowbar: A simple melee weapon that is iconic of the Half-Life series.
• 9mm Pistol (Beretta M9 pistol with the High Definition Pack and Glock 17 without): The first and simplest ranged weapon. It has good accuracy and does more damage per shot than the MP5, but these advantages are offset by a low rate of fire that makes it more useful on weak targets, like headcrabs or laser tripmines. Unlike most other ranged weapons, this pistol is effective underwater. Primary fire is accurate with every shot; secondary fire uses the rapid-fire function, and is faster but less accurate. The rate of fire is then comparable with the MP5, but does slightly more damage per shot. The 9mm Pistol is the standard equipment of the Black Mesa Security Guards; Calhoun would obtain it before the crisis unfolds.
• Colt Python: An extremely powerful and accurate gun. It has a long reload time and a 6-round cylinder. Good for dispatching enemies in one hit, especially from a distance.
• Submachine gun / Assault Rifle (High Definition Pack) (Heckler & Koch MP5/M203 grenade launcher, Colt /M203 grenade launcher with the High Definition Pack): Excellent for close-range combat. Has a fast rate of fire that compensates for its poor damage and accuracy. Secondary fire launches an extremely powerful under-slung grenade that detonates on impact. It uses the same ammo pool as the pistol.
• Shotgun: Does high damage at close range, but its broad fire cone makes it weak at a distance. It can be reloaded one shell at a time, but is slow to fully reload. Its secondary fire shoots two shells at once. The shotgun is the additional equipment of the Black Mesa Security Force, stored in the security armory, however Calhoun would not be able to get one before the crisis.
• Rocket propelled grenade (RPG) launcher: Does a large amount of explosive splash damage. Secondary fire toggles a laser designator that guides the RPG to its target. Can only hold one rocket at a time with 5 more in reserve.
• Hand grenade (Mk. II Fragmentation Grenade): A frag grenade that explodes a few seconds after being thrown. Can be bounced off of walls. Useful for killing enemies behind cover or softening up bigger targets.
• Satchel Charge: A high-explosive that can be thrown a short distance and detonated when the player presses fire. Secondary fire allows the player to place several satchels and detonate them simultaneously.
• Snarks (alien weapon): Small, aggressive alien creatures that quickly pursue their target, pestering and biting, until finally exploding after several seconds (or if shot). If they cannot locate a hostile target, they will turn on the player that set them loose. When used in numbers, they are very effective at drawing enemies out from their cover, or distracting them from attacking the player.
• Flashlight: Cut item. Seen in an Early Trailer . In the final game it only usable as a non-weapon mechanic, in a similar fashion to the HEV Suit’s flashlight.

Console commands also make it possible to use Half-Life’s original weapons, including the Long Jump Module.
