| Â | Ricochet (Half-Life) - Open Encyclopedia |
 | | Ricochet is a multiplayer mod of the popular first-person shooter, Half-Life. | | | Unlike in other Half-Life mods, the number of player deaths is not shown on the scoreboard, only the number of kill points. | | | There are also horizontal barriers which the disks can bounce off (hence the name Ricochet); a direct hit resulting in a fall scores 1 point, a single-bounced hit scores 2 points, double-bounced 3 points, and so on. |

| | Half-Life 2 picks up the story in City 17 and assumes the player took the G-Man up on his offer in the previous game. | | | Half-Life 2 was released without a multiplayer component of the game and was instead packaged with Counter-Strike: Source. | | | The environments in Half-Life 2 are varied, ranging from the Eastern European-styled City 17 and surrounding areas, to the massive Combine citadel. |

| | Another source of player complaints is the disproportionately large number of jumping puzzles in Xen. | | | Its unusual physics mean that there are many sections in Xen where the player must perform a series of precisely-executed jumps, with mis-steps punished by death. | | | There is a sizeable group of gamers who object strenuously to any such jumping puzzles in first-person shooter games; however, the jumping puzzle is as old as the ability to jump in these games and is unlikely to disappear in the future (especially with the increasing use of more realistic physics; e.g. |

| | Dario: We are seeing a far more sophisticated gaming experience emerging, and I think that's only going to continue as computers get more powerful and game engines get more comprehensive. | | | The game style was never implemented, but the map was great at accommodating 32 players, so I adapted it for deathmatch. | | | Dario: On the game design side, it has opened up an incredible set of possibilities for puzzles, combat, and player improvisation. |

| | Action Half-Life is the supposed 'game that plays like a film'. | | | When we first started playing Action Half-Life I thought to myself, "Dean, why are you making yourself play this pile of excriment?' Then we stopped playing the teamgame and started on the deathmatch... | | | Lack of community is quite a shame though, as a few clans for this could make the game very good indeed. |

| Â | Xen - Valve Developer Community |
| | Half-Life ends with the player travelling to Xen and defeating the Nihilanth. | | | Xen was often criticised for its frustrating "jumping puzzles" - jumping from platform to platform, or jumping off of giant manta-rays, etc. Therefore, it is best to relegate moving platforms to an atmospheric role rather than a gameplay mechanic. | | | Xen is the native home of various organisms such as the headcrab, the barnacle, and the vortigaunt (aka Alien Slave). |

| | Barnacles are relatively weak; a few shots from a 9mm pistol will kill them. | | | The player can use a detached barnacle as either a weapon or as a "grappling hook". | | | Consequently, objects such as tires, barrels or pieces of wood can be used to "distract" a barnacle and allow a player to easily slip past it. |

| | Action Half-Life, as stated before, is a much more "realistic" game that most deathmatch players are used to, which changes gameplay dramatically. | | | The result was the smash success Action Quake 2, which took on a following not unlike that of Team Fortress for Quake. | | | Most are remakes of Action Quake 2 maps, which will please players of the original, and cut the learning curve of the maps. |

| | Half-Life 2 is the first game where you use the physics as part of gameplay. | | | Half-Life 2 is without question the best-written, best-acted game I've ever played. | | | The long-awaited Half-Life 2 represents the pinnacle of great action shooters because it strictly adheres to the one rule that makes an FPS great, the one rule that so many developers ignore, or break due to ineptitude and then conceal behind a shroud of tacked-on complexity: in a first person shooter, level design is everything. |

| | Xen was a good idea, but it was also a different game than the one I had been playing for so long. | | | Xen is probably one of the most imaginatively designed levels that I've ever seen in fps games- the scenery, background, combat, etc. The world itself is simply breathtaking. | | | Jumping : okay, there was the assualt course, but after an average amount of time playing the game to get ot Xen, your at the least 2 weeks since playing that training section, and the jump there is nothing like the jumps in Xen. |
