Back to Half-Life: Blue Shift Opposing forces and [half life opposing forces] [fps games]
Q: I remember when I first played Half-Life. It was just sensational and, indeed, was a revolution in FPS games. I expect the same from Doom3, Doom3 but does not seem to have that thing 0.
So I gave it a try opposing forces (Blue Shift and If I finish Opfor).
First of all, the game runs as smooth. I started my computer as a POS like Doom3 play, but now I see that my computer has a mean kick-ass machine. However, the graphics can not be compared with Doom3. Its just sucks.
Second, it seems that this “push” effect if I play online with an ultra high ping. Is it supposed to be like this? Is there anything I can do to change? Half life
When Ive played, I never feel like I slipping. Also I feel I am very fast running and jumping super high and I think its because I am used to present realistic FPS games.
It is just weird. In fact, its off to take the good ol memories I had.

I know how to find HL's through the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Half-Life\Settings, and it's under Key. I have Opposing force but not officially installed… Long story short I had to reformat but had lent my CD out to some bit*c that never gave it back, so I just copied the entire folder and used a CD hack. Opposing force may be in there; If not, maybe Gearbox instead of Valve.
Nope. 
I just recently got finished playing the original HL and both Opposing Force and Blue Shift expansion packs (all still on my HD). I searched my registry for the Opposing Force key last night and couldn't find a thing.

I noticed that Opposing Force is not one of the games automatically registered with Half-Life. This is fine. I own Blue Shift and the version I bought (all of them?) came with Opposing Force. So I own Opposing Force and all I have to do is enter my CD-KEY to register it with Steam. So far so good.
I dismantled my house looking for my CD/Jewel Case. I found my Blue Shift box. I loaded my pickup with 4 computers and an old phone system and hauled it off to a second hand store. I put 30+ Maximum PC / boot magazine CDs in a box and gave them away…. all while looking for my Blue Shift CD. I cannot find it.
So I want to extract my CD-KEY out of my registry. I've googled and searched for a way to do this and have not found a way.
Please someone help me find a way to discover my Opposing Force/Blue Shift CD-KEY. I can promise you that I am above reproach. I own it. I bought it retail from a store. I've owned it for years. It is on my hard drive. The box is on my bookshelf. I don't want someone else's CD-KEY. I just want to find mine.
Have you tried HL's CD key? Assuming you own one of course.
Well, yeah. I registered my HL CD-KEY with Steam and how I got access to Half-Life, Team Fortress Classic, Counterstrike, Codename Gordon and Day of Defeat updates and Steam playability. I wanted to do the same with my Blue Shift/Opposing Force CD-KEY, but I cannot find the jewel case with the CD-KEY on it. That's why I posted this message and hoped someone knew how to find it in the registry.
Not trying to be a total pryck, but did you read my post that you quoted?

Game Copy Niche
Re:I just recently completed the original HL campaign, as well as the OP and BS expansions, all on the difficult setting. While the graphics are dated, those games rocked. I'm playing through several great usermade single player mods and they are just as good.

Yep, learned that quick. OP, although the graphics aren't close it doesn't always take much away from the game. I still enjoy playing TF with the Quake 1 engine because of how solid the rest of the game is. (that's a game with aged graphics) I've yet to play Doom3, but from what I've heard the outside look doesn't match what's under the hood.
I'm the other breed of gamer I guess, valueing stability and experience over graphics. Nothing wrong with the other way, but there are still those of us who still enjoy DOS games. (X-Com still rocks)

Re:guy if you are trying to play online don't try looking for a half mature server, there are very few. Just play the game and ignore the comments.
guy, it feels like you are sliding because HL never had great network code. Quakeworld was and still is better netcode than HL. The sliding affect with high ping is pushlatency / prediction code. It makes the game supposedly 'playable' with a higher ping. It also makes you insanely hard to hit by LPBs.
I don't know why anyone would compare Doom3s graphics with a HL expansion.
Half Water Half Gas
Re:I just played (my own copy of) half-life for the first time this week. Also just went online to try out counterstrike, although I have played Quake TF (yeah, the original) for years. It still looks good to me, I was amazed to see those graphics on a game from '99.
On a slightly OT question, what's the deal with playing online via steam? I know it's like discovering The Beetles in 1984, but I'd like to try it out some more and I feel like a complete noob. I'm too old for most clans and don't have many friends that play FPS's online. (dang MMORPGs) If any of you run or have access to a noob-friendly, half-mature server please help a fellow AT'er out.
BTW, I tried out Blue Shift as well, feels a bit recycled but seems fun so far.
Re:Yup, I did apply the HD pack as it came with the CD.
The more I play Opfor, the more I appricate Bump Mapping. Opfor looks too flat compared to D3.
Re:High Definition Pack (http://www.fileplanet.com/files/130000/135089.shtml)
Re:Originally posted by: guy
Nah, thats just the game and how it feels. D3 was really slowed down the pace to seem more realistic. Also, you did DL the high definition packs for HL, OF, and BS, right?
huh? how? where? sierra.com?
Re:heh, can't compare to the original HL, those two expansions are just ways to rig up more money from the francise.
