What is this chapter and why the sudden difficulty spike?

Or maybe a good, balanced difficulty is how a game should be?

Being harder =/= being better.

Half-Life had a much better balance.

you would crap yourself while playing far cry 2

I don't even care about FC... also don't derail the thread.

I'm saying that this chapter is unbalanced that's just it.

far cry 2 also has the thing where the enemies are stronger than you

Far Cry is also more down-to-earth and survival-oriented.

Half-Life is about aliens invading the world there's no such thing as realism in it (even if it is more realistic than Doom and Quake).

Well, corporal shepard is a warrior, it's about time he learns that your enemies won't play fair, just like how life is.

It's a videogame tho.

IDK if this is an unpopular opinion, but the part midway thru the sewer with the endlessly spawning Pit Drones may very well be the most difficult part of the whole game and definitely more difficult than the tunnel mazes with the Voltigores.

This^

I've found this idea of the infinitely respawning ennemies room to be against Valve's game and level design and it was kinda unintuitive.

I'm very late to this, its probably already discussed why and answered why its a difficulty spike. But atleast it is not Tarkov. I don't know 'bout your playstyle, but I try to keep all my men alive. So if one dies, I die. Which is a pain but I want everyone to have the chance to go to their grandchildren and tell them about Black Mesa and how badass they were.

I also remember why I hated that chapter, too heavy reliance of keeping your allies alive when Half-Life has a rather bad path finding for the NPCs.

I'm glad the original only had two important Barney to keep alive.

I used to hate this chapter, but once you know the sniper rifle can one shot shock troopers from an eye shot it becomes much easier. The only bit I dislike now is the underground tunnel filled with voltigores. They're damage sponges and can easily kill you, plus the best weapons only barely have enough ammo to get you through even if you saved them for this.

Sure, but I prefer to fight them. I'm not saying it's too hard or anything, just that I dread the section on replays. I hate how they just lurch out of the darkness at you, even when I know where they all are at this point.

running away from a enemy to save resources and time is a reliable strategy tho

The area is in the dark and it's quite thight, you got more chances to get hit by them.
