RIP you magnificent pipe, I'm going to miss seeing people failing this basic test. I guess sacrifices had to be made now that this is a retail product?

how does crouch jump.

I blame cookie-cutter cover-based shooters where you can't even jump.

On the other hand, it is kind of misleading that the team modeled water down there so as a player you think you can survive jumping down there. Later in the game the player has no problem jumping down from such heights into water and survive it. In the original it was just a black abyss so you knew you weren't supposed to jump down.

HAHA That made my day

IDK, look at it in the context of Gordon becoming more experienced by the time you encounter survivable falls like that later. I mean, IRL a fall like that would more than likely get you killed - Especially with all that debris in the water.

It was a bit much that every single jump in the mod had to be a crouch jump. Even to get on top of the smaller crates. The auto jump isn't the most elegant solution but I like it more than space+ctrl every time.

I grew up with HL, so ctrl+space forever :) I sometimes even do it in games that don't have that :)

Crouch jump is rather stupid anyway.

Before you blast me away tho, It's just that why does it have to be 2 buttons? The fact that practically ALL jumps in the game require crouch jump, then that makes normal jump useless...then why not just make normal jump crouch jump?

[Out of Czech]

Maybe it's not one button so not all the simpletons can finish the game :)

[MrMcSwifty]

The one thing that always baffled me about that video is how he managed to even make it that far in the game without figuring out how to crouch jump.

There are puzzles long before this that depend on it.

Except that's stupid design decision. Why not make you press 10 buttons to jump then?

AWESOME
