Heh, a bit ironic considering the glue-on gun was one of the few you did NOT need to reload.

It's not that reloading in and of itself is scary, it's just this..journalisty way of slightly hyping up the tension of reloading when a big nasty is up in your grill.

Sure, we might have a better chance if we work together.

Finished ''On A Rail'', ''Apprehension'' and ''Residue Processing'' levels today in OG Half Life.

''On a Rail'' was more fun than I remembered. A lot of fun ambushes that you can often outsmart if you pay attention. The rocket launcher marines are kind of odd, it seems they are scripted to die if you go past them with the train. Went pretty wild with the magnum and the m203 grenades since the game gives you plenty of ammo in this map.
Best part of the level to me was probably launching the rocket, a cool setpiece.
Apprehension used to really trigger my claustrophobia as a young'in diving in cramped flooded sections and the fish monster certainly did nor help things. Still, cool level though VERY SHORT, shorter than I remember it been.
Best part was imho fighting the glowies [thank god for tripwire mines] .
Residue Processing was... it was cool in the sense of getting to see a more ''functional'' part of Black Mesa. Which is cool because I really love the feel of Black Mesa Research Facility as a military-science-industrial facility with a sense of internal believability and impressive sense of scale. It feels like it could be a real facility where people worked at and the way the level infrastructure is set up with the control rooms and work areas etc it gives you a real sense of believability. It gave me a yearning to work in Black Mesa.

I think those are mislabeled honestly. Or the PC version is using the HD model since the headcrab zombies on original models have that skull shining through the headcrab as well.
