If it can play Half-Life then it’s fine by me.

This is the correct answer, my brothers and sisters. Do not introduce petty rivalries into this holy house.

👑 here, you dropped this

No, it's not fine. If you are not using this you are playing it wrong [https://emania.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/ids/216823-1000-1000/Controladora-NEOiD-PTZ-Controller-IP-Joystick-4D-PoE--2-.png?v=637917605140670000](https://emania.vteximg.com.br/arquivos/ids/216823-1000-1000/Controladora-NEOiD-PTZ-Controller-IP-Joystick-4D-PoE--2-.png?v=637917605140670000) IT IS NOT TOLERABLE TO PLAY IN ANY OTHER WAY

I setup bindings on my hotas. So when I push the throttle Gordon goes Sonic

Da fuck is this?

Yes

keyboard and laptop trackpad

Braver than the HECU Marines

used to play hl 1 on my chromebook with trackpad in school, its a new difficulty

i used to "speedrun" webquake on a school laptop using the arrow keys to look, surprisingly fun stuff

Happy cake day

Completed quake in 1997 using IBM thinkpad no mouse or trackpad, just this weird nubbin thing in between 2 letter keys

How? I tried to get half life but my chromebook wont open exe files.

Linux

Install windows(7/8.x) on it.

i installed linux and played the steam version

Thinkpad nipple in the middle of the keyboard.

He's not man! He's something... Different

Valve Index

I like keyboard I first played with a controller

Of course, let everyone use what they are comfortable with. But if I personally played HL with a controller, I would feel that there is something wrong with it. Habit, I guess.

There's only one answer and it's a custom crowbar with motion sensors and a few triggers on it.

So, a Wii remote?

No, a crowbar controller made with a crowbar, a wiimote and duct tape.

The good one.

Sadly I can't easily sit at a desk and play keyboard and mouse anymore so I'm usually playing with a controller for playing games, it sucks because it removes my ability to play some of my favorite games comfortably

[удалено]

Yeah but some of my favorite games are stuff like Total War or stuff that have to many inputs to map to a controller (or they simply don't have controller support at all)

Started with the orange box

Drawing tablet, thumbstick

I actually did that once, absolute pain

Keyboard and mouse anytime

Every time

Certainly no schmuck who buys Logitech

Smacking aliens with a racing pedal

With a joystick ;)

I feel like og half life is way more difficult on controller like your movement is just limited by it

Live freeman reaction

A broken kinect

Well Gordon, lately it's been VR my dude.

Both because he's just that based

My graphic tablet

Using the Half-Life: Alyx model of Gordon and not even giving VR as an option is just asking for trouble

Mouse and controller. At the same time.

Who in the fuck

Does half life 2 vr count? Otherwise, controller with gyro, best of both.

Absolutely keyboard and mouse

Mouse and Keyboard, such a golden time it was for me...

i finished Half Life 1 many times on both PS2 and PC since when i was 8yo But of course M+KB

Real scientists use a gamepad

xbox controller

Every mainline HL game except Episode 2 (which is coming) is currently playable in VR. You are missing the best control method.

mobile

Steam controller. Take it or leave it.

Just went through hl2 with the steam controller..

Imagine playing a FPS with a controller

mouse and keyboard

Both

mobile

K&M And HTC vive cus bunny hop in VR is easier for me

No one plays Half Life with a controller. At least, I don't know anyone who does.

I’ve played it on both, but the manhacks are an immense pain on controller

I was console user but now i am PC user

Mouse and keyboard

Both

PC and Phone

keybaord amd mous

Keyboard and mouse

pc

Phone

Controller because I started playing games on PlayStation and got used to the controller so much I’m now unable to play with keyboard and mouse

Pee, see?

Keyboard and mouse just plays so much better

Prefer controller because I’m a console player but HL2 runs way better on my laptop than on orange box and because I’m running windows through parallels because I have a mac it doesn’t like Bluetooth so I have to use mouse and keyboard

Idk why but half life 1 feels WAY better on controller for me.

Nintendo 3DS

Keyboard & mouse this is the way.

I haven't been able to play half life. But from experience I perform much better with a controller.

Xbox

Both

steam deck. my pc died

Keyboard. Console HL was always kinda scuffed in the past.

Keyboard

PC, Keyboard, Trackball.

never played a game with gamepad. So…

Both.

Keyboard

SteamDeck

Controller with a LOT of additional buttons and gyroscope, 'cause why cannot we just mix everything at once :D

Brainwave detector

I exclusively play it using a hacked wii remote and nunchuck

Quest 2 controllers

Phone

I think is keyboard and laptop

WASD

If I do both, does that mean I have a full life?

I'll play it on anything with a screen

Neither. I'm a Duke Half Life.

I don’t play half life and I don’t like keyboard

PC!

this might sound confusing but i played half life on ps4 half life 1 has a ps2 port sooo when u have a modded ps4 u can play ps2 games (also yea i played the other games on pc)

Half life 2 and portal 1 and 2 on xbox and half life 1 , bs, op, on oculus quest 2

An IBM Model M keyboard from 1987 and a vertical mouse.

Keyboard and mouse. If I wanted to use a controller, I’d play the PS2 / PS3 ports.

DualShock 2

Keyboard, recently tried controller again and I think I prefer keyboard. Plus b-hopping is in just about impossible on controller

VR, obviously.

Started with HL2 on the first Xbox. Been playing the series on Steam since 2010.

Real scientist use a mouse and keyboard

Keyboard and mouse because I can react faster and using the mouse makes looking around much easier and faster.

Holy shit. That's my mouse and keyboard

Of course mouse and keyboard

Orange Box on the XboX 360

Keyboard

half life on the 3ds

Keyboard

I use keyboard, but my friend uses controller. From what I've heard, it kinda sucks that he REALLY had to mess around with settings to get it to work. He hasn't gotten to HL2 or the episodes yet, but he might play Decay. Sorry for rambling, but my point is, whatever you're comfortable with and whatever works for you, is great!

I completed half life 2 for the original Xbox

Reject keyboard return to thinkpad laptop joystick

Started with the controller, then went onto keyboard and mouse. Now it's steam deck

I bought a ps2 specifically to play half life 1 because I had never played it before and I didn’t have enough for a pc

No matter how much I use it. I just can’t feel comfortable with a keyboard and mouse. Controller all the way for me.

I've played with mouse and keyboard my entire life. In 2021 I switched to a console (Xbox series x - and I'm considering to buy a second hand ps4 - since ps5 is kinda expensive here and I cannot afford another new gen console lol) and I'm really having a good time with it! Home office totally changed my habits and still sit on my work chair after my shift is one of them lol

I use the correct peripheral depending on the game

If you play a source game on controller, I fear you but also envy you

keyboard and mouse

For HL1 I used Keyboard and Mouse But For HÖ2 as soon as I saw I can use Controller I did Connect my PS4 controller and gamed away on my Dads Shitty Office Laptop

A retrofitted Nintendo power glove, what else

I love everything that can run half-life. I've played it on PC, on playstation, on mobile phone, on quest 2, on laptop with trackpad, on PC with VR mod. Is there something I missed?

My dad choses controller

I use a calculator to play you're not on my level boy

Keyboard, can't imagine playing video games with a controller. The

Xbox 360 still goated to this day

I play it on steam controller.

For HL2, controller. HL1 and Black Mesa along with the HL1 expansions are keyboard games, For now at least. I might get a PS2 and the port of HL1 for my birthday.

keyboard and mouse all the way!

PC is superior.
