It can't be much harder than jumping over pipes can it?Īfter learning to operate an elevator button, they ask me to jump for the target on the floor. I'm not sure how often they expect me to do this, but at least the hologram was willing to show me how. Who came up with this?! Just because I did training about jumping WHILE crouched doesn't mean you can make me crawl down a drain pipe between rooms. On another thought, how much crouching and jumping am I going to have to do at a facility with hallways?! Obviously, despite being a research facility, Black Mesa does not require you to be a rocket scientist to work there.

And another exercise has us jump, then crouch, then jump. This game is going to be easy!Īfter that we learn to crouch.

I've left all the controls to default mappings, and fortunately, like every other FPS, jump is the space bar. Our first exercise, after moving around in our suit is jumping. Perhaps there is a suggestion box somewhere that I can see if we can get different color choices. Green would have really brought out my eyes though. Orange is definitely not my color, but if I must then I must. The first is to walk through a door and put on our suit.

This young holographic lady with the pleasant voice will be our wonderful guide to doing things that are painfully obvious. Welcome to the Black Mesa Training Facility. I may be playing this on a laptop and currently with a touchpad but this game is old enough where it won't even hiccup at max settings. Actually, the first order of business was taking that UGLY 640x480 resolution and low quality graphics and maxing that stuff out.
