Im a noob, yet to download the mod...so whut do I do?

Chris the Ninjer · Aug 6, 2009

Obviously I know how to download the mod, I'm just at a friend's house at the moment

So what I wanted to know was;

> How does this game play?
> Are the Specifications the same as those for the original Half Life?
> Upon entering the game, what do I do first?
> Do I need Half Life: Source or Half Life?

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but like I said; I'm just a n00b :smile:

Thanks to anyone who can halp

There are two types of the original Half Life game on Steam

Theres the original Half life, or the updated Half Life: Source, which offered better graphics than the original

I need to know which type I can run ESF with

Regular Half-Life 1.

Try version 1.2.3 (as opposed to the 1.3 open beta). The beta is buggy and incomplete. The following is for 1.2.3:

The game plays unlike any other mod. The controls are simple for the most part, but take getting used to. You'll have to mess around.

As far as I know, the specs are the same. I'm sure they'll be higher when the latest version comes out, but that won't be for a while.

Upon entering the game, I would recommend starting your own LAN server on any map, and begin learning the controls. Once you know how to fly, swoop, shoot beams, etc., try adding a bot at a low difficulty. Mess around with the melee and beam struggles with your opponent. There is no single player; you'll have to either play with bots, join an online server, or play on a LAN with others.

The game is not for Half-Life: Source. You need regular Half-Life 1 on steam.

Thanks, dood ^_^

One question; how do I spawn a bot?

with your 0 key

I'm pretty sure it's the = key, actually.

If that doesn't work, just open up console and type add bot. If you want a tutorial on how to play, you could give this a shot

This video was made long ago. It shows a bit of gameplay and was recorded on a full FFA server. May be a bit chaotic but it shows preety much all of the gameplay.
