thread_title:  Requirements section is too important 

message: I noticed that there is no reference to another little known expansion to the Half-Life game.  The smaller expansion is located with another game (Gunman Chronicles maybe), but I am not sure which for it has been years since I played it.
The expansion basically consists of three missions.  It starts off with Freeman talking to the G-Man in an office and the missions take place in a carnival setting, caves, and then some sort of shipping factory.  If memory serves me correct, the purpose of those three missions was to either capture or set free three different crystals of some sort.  Is there anyone that can verify this?  I believe it came out around 2001-2002.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayveran (talk • contribs) 23:29, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I had Gunman Chronicles (GC) back when I don't remember this. I recall once plasying something similar to what you describe but I believe it was just a fan mod. Even so, if there was a mod within GC I doubt it would be considered an official mod. Яehevkor ✉ 11:17, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That expansion is called Absolute Redemption. It was developed by Maverick software. It was included as a bonus game with "Half-Life: Counter-Strike" (The retain version of Counter-Strike).  I personally think it would be OK to mention it somewhere on this page, whereas Gunman Chronicles would not belong here. However, Uplink should most definitely be mentioned, since it was developed by Valve. It is equivalent to Lost Coast. Peacebears (talk) 18:52, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is an unofficial mod, and seemingly not a notable one. Mentioning it seems unnecessary. IceWelder [✉] 19:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Budget? 

message: There are some important firsts in HL that aren't really mentioned. It was the first game to default to WASD + mouse (Quake and Quake II both defaulted to keyboard only control and arrow keys).
There are rumors that they used WASD because those were the keys used by famous Quake gamer, Thresh.72.166.65.132 (talk) 02:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! I can add that, but I'll need a source stating that before I do. That's a pretty big claim to make, and I don't want to do it if it's inaccurate. --Nicereddy (talk) 02:40, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

message: The Half-Life: Source was recreated last year.  With the new additions, I still don't think there is enough distinct information to warrant its own article.  It's lacking detail and content in all areas.  Anything currently written there can be summarised in several sentences within this article.  I am proposing content be merged again and Half Life: Source be redirected back to Half Life.  The1337gamer (talk) 21:48, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

message: It's stated in the first game that Gordon Freeman graduated MIT with a Ph.D. in theoretical physics. I believe this means that he should be referred to as "Dr. Gordon Freeman" rather than simply Gordon Freeman, if not in every instance, then at least in the first instance of his name. However, I am unsure if this both makes total sense grammatically and fits the Wikipedia rules for edits.  Unsightly Scientist (talk) 01:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
