Valve was disappointed with the lack of innovation in the FPS genre, and aimed to create an immersive world rather than a "shooting gallery". Unlike other games at the time, the player has almost uninterrupted control of the player character; the story is mostly experienced through scripted sequences rather than cutscenes. Valve developed the game using GoldSrc, a heavily-modified version of the Quake engine, licensed from id Software. The science fiction novelist Marc Laidlaw was hired to craft the plot and assist with design.
Half-Life received acclaim for its graphics, gameplay and narrative and won more than 50 PC "Game of the Year" awards. It is considered one of the most influential first-person shooter games and one of the greatest video games ever made. By 2008, it had sold more than nine million copies. It was ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2001, along with the multiplayer expansion Decay, and to OS X and Linux in 2013. Valve ported Half-Life to its Source engine as Half-Life: Source in 2004. In 2020, Crowbar Collective released an unofficial remake, Black Mesa.
Half-Life is a first-person shooter that requires the player to perform combat tasks and puzzle solving to advance through the game. Unlike most first-person shooters at the time, which relied on cut-scene intermissions to detail their plotlines, Half-Life's story is told mostly using scripted sequences (bar one short cutscene), keeping the player in control of the first-person viewpoint. In line with this, the player rarely loses the ability to control the player character, Gordon Freeman, who never speaks and is never actually seen in the game; the player sees "through his eyes" for the entire length of the game. Half-Life has no levels; it instead divides the game into chapters, whose titles briefly appear on screen as the player progresses through the game. With the exception of short loading pauses, progression throughout the game is continuous, with each map directly connecting to the next, with the exception of levels involving teleportation.[4]
The game regularly integrates puzzles, such as navigating a maze of conveyor belts or using nearby boxes to build a small staircase to the next area the player must travel to. Some puzzles involve using the environment to kill an enemy, like turning a valve to spray hot steam at their enemies. There are few bosses in the conventional sense, where the player defeats a superior opponent by direct confrontation. Instead, such organisms occasionally define chapters, and the player is generally expected to use the terrain, rather than firepower, to kill the boss. Late in the game, the player receives a "long jump module" for the HEV suit, which allows the player to increase the horizontal distance and speed of jumps by crouching before jumping. The player must rely on this ability to navigate various platformer-style jumping puzzles in Xen toward the end of the game.[4]
The player battles alone for the majority of the game, but is occasionally assisted by non-player characters; specifically security guards and scientists who help the player. The guards will fight alongside the player, and both guards and scientists can assist in reaching new areas and pass on relevant plot information. An array of alien enemies populate the game, including headcrabs, bullsquids, vortigaunts, and headcrab zombies. The player also faces human opponents in the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (a fictional special forces unit of the United States Marine Corps), and Black Ops assassins.
Half-Life includes online multiplayer support for both individual and team-based deathmatch modes.[5] It was one of the first mainstream games to use the WASD keys as the default control scheme.[6]
Plot
At the underground Black Mesa Research Facility, physicist Gordon Freeman participates in an experiment on a crystal of unknown origin. This triggers an explosion which severely damages the facility, and inexplicably causes alien creatures to appear. Many scientists are killed.
Gordon survives thanks to his hazard suit. Venturing to the surface for help, he discovers that hostile Marines have been dispatched to cover up the incident. Escaping below ground, he destroys a giant tentacled creature inside a rocket engine test facility.
Freeman travels by underground rail to the Lambda Complex, where scientists can stop the alien invasion. Along the way, he launches a space satellite to aid the scientists, and explores an abandoned older section of Black Mesa.
He is eventually captured by Marines and left for dead in a garbage compactor. He escapes through a waste treatment facility, and stumbles into a lab filled with alien specimens, seemingly collected before the accident.
The Marines are overwhelmed and withdraw. Scaling cliffs, navigating a bombed-out military base, and traversing sewers, Gordon arrives at the Lambda Complex. Inside, he restarts a nuclear reactor and uses mysterious teleportation technology to reach the last survivors of the science team.
They reveal that humans have been teleporting surveyors to an alien "border world". However, a hostile psychic entity opened an enormous portal back to Earth, triggering the invasion. The scientists send Gordon to kill the creature.
On the alien world Xen, Freeman encounters the remains of researchers who ventured before him, and crystals like the one in the catastrophic experiment. He defeats the monstrous Gonarch, and explores a factory manufacturing alien soldiers.
Finally, Gordon kills the Nihilanth, the entity maintaining the rift. He is then disarmed and summoned by the powerful and mysterious Administrator, who offers work for his "employers". If Gordon accepts, he is placed into stasis to await his next assignment.
Development
Half-Life in many ways was a reactionary response to the trivialization of the experience of the first-person genre. Many of us had fallen in love with video games because of the phenomenological possibilities of the field and felt like the industry was reducing the experiences to least common denominators rather than exploring those possibilities. Our hope was that building worlds and characters would be more compelling than building shooting galleries.
Valve, based in Kirkland, Washington, was founded in 1996 by the former Microsoft employees Mike Harrington and Gabe Newell.[8] For its first product, Valve settled on a concept for a horror first-person shooter (FPS) game.[9] They did not want to build their own game engine, as this would have created too much work for a small team and Newell planned to innovate in different areas.[9] Instead, Valve licensed the Quake engine and the Quake II engine from id Software and combined them with their own code.[10][9] Newell estimated that around 75% of the final engine code was by Valve.[10] As the project expanded, Valve cancelled development of a fantasy role-playing game, Prospero, and the Prospero team joined the Half-Life project.[11]
Half-Life was inspired by the FPS games Doom (1993) and Quake (1996),[12][page needed]Stephen King's 1980 novella The Mist, and a 1963 episode of The Outer Limits titled "The Borderland".[13] According to the designer Harry Teasley, Doom was a major influence and the team wanted Half-Life to "scare you like Doom did". The project had the working title Quiver, after the Arrowhead military base from The Mist.[14] The name Half-Life was chosen because it was evocative of the theme, not clichéd, and had a corresponding visual symbol: the Greek letter λ (lower-case lambda), which represents the decay constant in the half-life equation.[12][page needed] According to the designer Brett Johnson, the level design was inspired by environments in the manga series Akira.[15]
Valve struggled to find a publisher, as many believed the game was too ambitious for a first-time developer. Sierra On-Line signed Valve for a one-game deal as it was interested in making a 3D action game, especially one based on the Quake engine.[16] Valve first showed Half-Life in early 1997; it was a success at E3 that year, where Valve demonstrated the animation and artificial intelligence.[17] Novel features of the artificial intelligence included fear and pack behavior.[18]
Valve aimed for a November 1997 release to compete with Quake II.[19][20] By September 1997, the team found that while they had built some innovative aspects in weapons, enemies, and level design, the game was not fun and there was little design cohesion.[19] They postponed the release and reworked every level. They took a novel approach of assigning a small team to build a prototype level containing every element in the game and then spent a month iterating on the level.[19] When the rest of the team played the level, which the designer Ken Birdwell described as "Die Hard meets Evil Dead", they agreed to use it as a baseline.[19] The team developed three theories about what made the level fun. First, it had several interesting things happen in it, all triggered by the player rather than a timer so that the player would set the pace of the level. Second, the level responded to any player action, even for something as simple as adding graphic decals to wall textures to show a bullet impact. Finally, the level warned the player of imminent danger to allow them to avoid it, rather than killing the player with no warning.[19]
To move forward with this unified design, Valve sought a game designer but found no one suitable. Instead, Valve created the "cabal", initially a group of six individuals from across all departments that worked primarily for six months straight in six-hour meetings four days a week. The cabal was responsible for all elements of design, including level layouts, key events, enemy designs, narrative, and the introduction of gameplay elements relative to the story.[19] The collaboration proved successful, and once the cabal had come to decisions on types of gameplay elements that would be needed, mini-cabals from other departments most affected by the choice were formed to implement these elements. Membership in the main cabal rotated since the required commitment created burnout.[19]
The cabal produced a 200-page design document detailing nearly every aspect of the game. They also produced a 30-page document for the narrative, and hired the science fiction novelist Marc Laidlaw to help manage the script.[14][19] Laidlaw said his contribution was to add "old storytelling tricks" to the team's ambitious designs: "I was in awe of [the team]. It felt to me like I was just borrowing from old standards while they were the ones doing something truly new."[21] Rather than dictate narrative elements "from some kind of ivory tower of authorial inspiration", he worked with the team to improvise ideas, and was inspired by their experiments.[21] For example, he conceived the opening train ride after an engineer implemented train code for another concept.[21]
Valve initially planned to use traditional cutscenes, but switched to a continuous first-person perspective for lack of time. Laidlaw said they discovered unexpected advantages in this approach, as it created a sense of immersion and enforced a sense of loneliness in a frightening environment.[22] Laidlaw felt that non-player characters were unnecessary to guide players if the design had sufficiently strong "visual grammar", and that this allowed the characters to "feel like characters instead of signposts".[22] An early version of Half-Life began immediately after the disaster, with the environments already wrecked. Laidlaw worked with Johnson to create versions of the lab environment before the disaster to help set the story. He said: "These were all economical ways of doing storytelling with the architecture — which was my whole obsession. The narrative had to be baked into the corridors."[22]
Within a month of the cabal's formation, the other team members started detailed game development, and within another month began playtesting through Sierra. The cabal was intimately involved with playtesting, monitoring the player but otherwise not interacting. They noted any confusion or inability to solve a game's puzzles and made them into action items to be fixed on the next iteration. Later, with most of the main adjustments made, the team included means to benchmark players' actions. They then collected and interpreted statistically to fine-tune levels further.[19] Between the cabal and playtesting, Valve identified and removed parts that proved unenjoyable. Birdwell said that while there were struggles at first, the cabal approach was critical for Half-Life's success, and was reused for Team Fortress 2 from the start.[19]
Much of the detail of Half-Life's development has been lost. According to the Valve employee Erik Johnson, two or three months before release, their Visual SourceSafe source control system "exploded". Logs of technical changes from before the final month of development were lost, and code had to be recovered from individual computers.[23]
Mods
Half-Life received support from independent game developers, supported and encouraged by Valve. With the game, Valve included Worldcraft, the level design tool used during development, and a software development kit, enabling developers to modify the game and create mods. Both tools were updated with the release of the version 1.1.0.0 patch. Supporting tools (including texture editors, model editors, and level editors such as the multiple engine editor QuArK) were either created or updated to work with Half-Life.[citation needed]
Some Half-Life modifications received retail releases. Counter-Strike was the most successful, having been released in six different editions: as a standalone product (2000), as part of the Platinum Pack (2000), as an Xbox version (2003), and as a single-player spin-off, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (2004), as well as in two versions using the Source engine. Team Fortress Classic, Day of Defeat, Gunman Chronicles (2000, a futuristic Western movie-style total conversion with emphasis on its single-player mode) and Sven Co-op were also released as standalone products. Half-Life is also the subject of the YouTubeimprovroleplaying series Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware and Freeman's Mind.[25][26][27]
In 2003, Valve's network was infiltrated by hackers. Among the stolen files were the unreleased Half-Life modification Half-Life: Threewave, a canceled remake of the mod Threewave CTF from Quake. The files were found by the independent reporter Tyler McVicker of Valve News Network on a Vietnamese FTP server in February 2016, and were unofficially released that September.[28]
Release
Half-Life was released in November 1998.[29] The revised version of Half-Life shown at E3 1998 was given Game Critics Awards for "Best PC Game" and "Best Action Game".[20] Valve released two demos. The first, Half-Life: Day One, contained the first fifth of the game and was distributed with certain graphic cards. The second, Half-Life: Uplink, was released on February 12, 1999, and featured original content.[30] A short film based on Half-Life, also titled Half-Life: Uplink, was developed by Cruise Control, a British marketing agency, and released on February 11, 1999.[31] The protagonist is a journalist who infiltrates the Black Mesa Research Facility, trying to discover what has happened there.[32]
Half-Life was censored in Germany to comply with the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons, which regulates depictions of violence against humans. Valve replaced the human characters with robots, spilling oil and gears instead of blood and body parts when killed, among other changes. In 2017, Half-Life was removed from the German censorship list. To acknowledge this, Valve released Half-Life Uncensored, a free downloadable content pack, that reverts the censorship.[33]
Valve canceled a version of Half-Life for Mac, developed by Logicware, in 2000. Newell said the port was substandard and would have made Mac players "second-class customers".[34]Rebecca Heineman, the co-founder of Logicware, denied this, saying that Valve cancelled the port as Apple had angered them by misrepresenting sales projections. She said the port was complete and three weeks from release.[35] Valve released ports for OS X and Linux in 2013.[36]
Captivation Digital Laboratories and Gearbox Software developed a port of Half-Life for the Dreamcast, with new character models and textures and an exclusive expansion, Blue Shift.[37] Following the cancellations of several third-party Dreamcast games in the wake of Sega's decision to discontinue the console in March 2001, Sierra cancelled the port weeks before its scheduled release in June, citing "changing marketing conditions".[38][39]Blue Shift was ported to Windows.[40] The Dreamcast port became the basis of the Half-Life port for PlayStation 2, released in late 2001. This version added competitive play and a co-op expansion, Half-Life: Decay.[41]
In 2004, Valve released Half-Life: Source, a version of Half-Life created in their new game engine, Source. It includes no new graphical elements, but adds new physics, water effects and 5.1 surround sound.[42]Black Mesa, a third-party remake of Half-Life developed by Crowbar Collective in the Source engine, was published as a free mod in September 2012 and later approved by Valve for a commercial release.[43][44]
Expansions
Half-Life was followed by an expansion pack, Opposing Force, on November 1, 1999,[45] developed by Gearbox Software.[46] Players control USMC Corporal Adrian Shephard, who fights a new group of aliens and Black Ops units after being split from his team.[46] Gearbox developed a second expansion pack, Blue Shift, in which players control Barney Calhoun, a security guard at Black Mesa, as he attempts to escape the facility. It was developed as a bonus campaign for the Dreamcast port of Half-Life,[47] but was released for Windows on June 12, 2001, after the port was canceled.[48][49] Gearbox created a cooperative multiplayer expansion pack, Decay, exclusively for the PlayStation 2 port of Half-Life which is played through the perspectives of Gina Cross and Colette Green, two Black Mesa scientists.[50]
In November 2023, for the 25th anniversary of Half-Life, Valve updated the game's Steam release to revert in-game content to its original 1998 state, fix long-standing bugs, and add additional content including the Half-Life: Uplink demo, four new multiplayer maps, Steam Deck support, rendering improvements, and support for 4K resolution monitors.[51][52][53]
Valve also released an hour-long documentary on the creation of Half-Life, featuring commentary from the game's original developers, designers and artists.[54] Two days after the release, Half-Life reached 33,471 concurrent players on Steam, its highest-ever number.[54]
On the review aggregation website Metacritic, Half-Life has a score of 96 out of 100. Computer Gaming World's Jeff Green said it was "not just one of the best games of the year. It's one of the best games of any year, an instant classic that is miles better than any of its immediate competition, and – in its single-player form – is the best shooter since the original Doom."[58]Next Generation wrote: "It is fast paced, it is dramatic, and it brings the very idea of adventure on a PC out of the dark ages and into a 3D world. All that and not a single Orc in sight."[61]IGN described it as "a tour de force in game design, the definitive single player game in a first-person shooter".[5]GameSpot said it was the "closest thing to a revolutionary step the genre has ever taken".[60]
Several reviewers cited the level of immersion and interactivity as revolutionary.[57]AllGame said, "It isn't everyday that you come across a game that totally revolutionizes an entire genre, but Half-Life has done just that."[57]Hot Games commented on the realism, and how the environment "all adds up to a totally immersive gaming experience that makes everything else look quite shoddy in comparison".[63]Gamers Depot wrote that it was the most immersive game they had played.[64]
The final portion of the game, taking place in the alien world of Xen, was generally considered the weakest. Besides introducing a wholly new and alien setting, it also featured a number of low-gravity jumping puzzles. The GoldSrc engine did not provide as much precise control for the player during jumping, making these jumps difficult and often with Freeman falling into a void and the player restarting the game.[65][66]Wired's Julie Muncy called the Xen sequence "an abbreviated, unpleasant stop on an alien world with bad platforming and a boss fight against what appeared, by all accounts, to be a giant floating infant".[67]The Electric Playground said that Half-Life was an "immersive and engaging entertainment experience" in its first half and that it "peaked too soon".[68]
Jeff Lundrigan reviewed the PlayStation 2 version for Next Generation, rating it three out of five, and wrote that "it may be getting old, but there's still a surprising amount of life in Half-Life".[62] The PlayStation 2 version was a nominee for The Electric Playground's 2001 Blister Awards for "Best Console Shooter Game", but lost to Halo: Combat Evolved for Xbox.[72]
In 1999, 2001 and 2005, PC Gamer named Half-Life the best PC game of all time.[citation needed] In 2004, GameSpy readers voted Half-Life the best game of all time.[73]Gamasutra gave it their Quantum Leap Award in the FPS category in 2006.[74]GameSpot inducted Half-Life into their Greatest Games of All Time list in May 2007.[75] In 2007, IGN described Half-Life as one of the most influential video games,[76] and in 2013 wrote that the history of the FPS genre "breaks down pretty cleanly into pre-Half-Life and post-Half-Life eras".[77] In 2021, the Guardian ranked Half-Life the third-greatest game of the 1990s, writing that it "helped write the rulebook for how games tell their stories without resorting to aping the conventions of film".[78]
Sales
According to Newell, Half-Life was budgeted with the expectation of lifetime sales of around 180,000 copies.[79] However, it was a surprise hit.[79] In the United States, Half-Life debuted at #8 on PC Data's weekly PC game sales chart for the November 15–21 period, with an average retail price (ARP) of $49.[80] It rose to sixth place the following week,[81] before dropping to position 10 for the week ending December 5.[82] During the December 6–12 period, the game climbed back to sixth place; by this time, its ARP had dropped to $36.[83] It placed between sixth and eighth on PC Data's weekly charts through the end of December,[84][85][86] and its ARP rose back to $45 by the week ending January 2.[86] PC Data declared Half-Life November's sixth-best-selling PC game in the United States,[87] a position it held for the month of December.[88] While its US sales were below 100,000 copies by November 30,[89] by 1999 it had sold 212,173 copies and earned revenues of $8.6 million in the United States by the end of 1998.[90]
In January 1999, Half-Life debuted at #3 on Chart-Track's PC game sales rankings for the United Kingdom,[91] and remained in PC Data's weekly top 10 for the entire month, peaking at #4.[92][93][94][95][96] By January 19, after two full months of availability, global sales of Half-Life surpassed 500,000 units.[79] In the United States, it was the fifth-best-selling PC game for the month of January.[97] On PC Data's weekly charts, it rose to #2 from February 7–20, with an ARP of $35.[98][99] Holding a position in the weekly top 10 for the rest of February,[99][100] it climbed to fourth for the month.[101] The game remained in PC Data's weekly top 10 until the week of March 21[102][103] and dropped to position 11 for March as a whole.[104] In the United Kingdom, it placed second in February—behind the debut of Baldur's Gate—and fifth in March.[105][106] In April, it claimed #3 on Chart-Track's rankings and dropped to #16 on those of PC Data.[106][107] On April 23, Sierra announced that global sales of Half-Life had reached almost 1 million copies.[108]
After maintaining the 16th place for May in the US,[109]Half-Life exited PC Data's monthly top 20 in June.[110]Half-Life became the fifth-bestselling PC game of the first half of 1999 in the US.[111] Its domestic sales during 1999 reached 290,000 copies by the end of September.[112] During 1999, it was the fifth-best-selling PC game in the US, with sales of 445,123 copies. These sales brought in revenues of $16.6 million, the sixth-highest gross that year for a PC game in the US.[113] The following year, it was the 16th-bestselling PC game in the US, selling another 286,593 copies and earning $8.98 million.[114]
The PlayStation 2 version received a "Silver" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[115] indicating sales of at least 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[116]Half-Life's global sales reached 2.5 million units by July 2001.[117]Edge noted in 2003 that "a significant number of the 7.5m copies of the PC version were bought because the game offered such potential for community-driven expansion".[118] As of November 16, 2004, eight million copies of the game had been sold,[119] by 2008, 9.3 million copies had been sold at retail.[120]Guinness World Records awarded Half-Life the world record for Best-Selling First-Person Shooter of All Time (PC) in the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008.[121]
