Kinda crazy knowing how long Half Life has been around & we just now find this out? Pretty cool.

I’ve played HL1 through many times… I don’t recognize that area. what is it?
zeroth404 28th January 2007 at 23:53 3

its not an easter egg. easter eggs are intentional things. this is just a bug. however interesting it is…

I’m curious to know if that place is the only area it happens, or if it applies to all barrels. I can’t recall that scene either.

That video isn’t taken from Half-Life. It’s from a map near the end of Opposing Force; you can also tell by the HUD & hands. And I also wouldn’t classify this as an easter egg, it’s more of an engine exploit. Interesting tip, though.

I know it wasn’t really an Easter Egg but because I am beginning to collect things like this I decided to classify as such to make finding them on the site easier.

I should have noticed the HUD but didn’t. I will change the post title now.

Zeroth is right. Easter Eggs are hidden things that are intentional and usually have a meaning (not always, usually).

Why not classify these things as ‘Interesting Bugs’ or something?

First of all, this boost works on ANYTHING that is pushable, both in Half-Life and all other mods/expansions. Secondly, this area is from the Opposing Force mod Nuclear Winter, I chosed this area because it’s large. Third, this isn’t an easter egg, it’s a bug as zeroth404 says.

Btw Phillip, I don’t know if Opposing Force Easter Egg is right name, right name would be Half-Life Glitch or simular, since this bug works in hl too, and is more a glitch then easter egg. This was just recorded on a Opposing Force mod, so Half-Life would be better then Opposing Force.

Yes, I know that it’s not the best name and I am trying to think of something that covers Easter Eggs and things like this.

Please don’t keep telling me it’s the wrong name!

The task is to think of a name that covers ee and other things.

Nice. I think we have found a winner.

It’s not really an Easter Egg. It’s more like a booth babe. You know the closer you get to a booth babe, the more energy you develop. Then if you touch her, you kind of explode.

Hope this helps.

Can’t say I ever had that experiance. Women don’t like me.

Anyone noticed the repeating jump bug? Or is that too basic in the exploit department…
Zhouy 29th January 2007 at 20:30 15

That’s so called bunnyjump.

Ok, I have renamed the post again and this time called it GoldSource since that was the name of the engine used for HL, OP and BS.

Theres a funny glitch in hl1 where you walk through a certain door and it boosts up your health way past 100%…
