I learned a great deal about how to make a linear game's linearity justified in universe without pulling bullshit tricks on the player.
Too many Jigsaw puzzles I tell you!Aptspire said:I've learned that although the world may be ending, there are still balance puzzles that need solving
Also, during my time in Half-Life, I learnt that world-class physicists can also be world-class electronic bolt limbo-ists..
1.Scientists have better firearms then the military.
2.Helmets are overrated.
3.Those things on the ceiling aren't ropes.

If the human race is ever under attack by aliens, and you meet the single person in the world who seems to have a chance of stopping them, RUN he's the mobile epicenter of the disaster! It's only a matter of time before aliens show up and kill everyone BUT him!
I learned that giant green worm monsters will completely nuke your framerate. And that #12 also applies to snipers... but only in the sequel, strangely enough.
Actually, the HEV suit does have a helmet, just...Gordon never seems to wear it. I guess it either folds out of the neck or he really doesn't have the one that goes with his suit, which, is actually quite obvious in-game considering Gordon can quite easily drown HEV suit or no.
I'll give it a pass on the protective value, seeing as it -is- designed for hazardous work, and while that may not be primarily in regard to bullets, flying bits of metal aren't an unreasonable hazard to experience either.
I learned:
The greatest warriors of the Xen Borderlands use only the mightiest of weapons: Guns that launch bees. (Yeah, really, the Grunts are supposed to be their main footsoldier and they use bee-cannons, which while capable of killing you aren't all that effective... No wonder they got their asses kicked.)

I learned that you don't actually have to understand what the final boss is, what it is doing, or how to kill it to beat the game.
I was always confused about that one, how exactly do they heat up those pieces of re-bar?Paragon Fury said:
As soon as I saw the first one in Half-Life 2, I began shooting and halfway through the clip I was convinced this green monster is packing some heavy-duty kevlar under his skin.SirBryghtside said:
