Summary of Half-Life : Prima's Official Strategy Guide
In-depth strategies you can bet your life onClear explanation of Half-Life's monster behavior
Maps of the missile base
Best walkthrough of all game locations
Thorough coverage of optimal combat tactics
Stats for all weapons and monsters
It was just a typical day in the life of Gordon Freeman, your average young scientist working for the government at the high-security Black Mesa research facility. Typical, that is, until a freak accident opens up a transdimensional gateway to an alien world. Soon the place is crawling with mutated scientists, alien creatures, and--worst of all--government troops bent on eliminating all witnesses to the accident. Fighting your way past these evil hordes is no easy task--unless, of course, you've got Prima's official Half-Life strategy guide in your arsenal.
With a wealth of information, statistics, and gameplay guidelines, this book can help turn any fledgling scientist into a battle-hardened killing machine in no time. In addition to descriptions of the weapons you'll find and the enemies you'll have to use them against, the book offers advice on basic first-person shooter tactics (how to circle-strafe, for example). A full-fledged walk-through of the game includes plenty of maps (more than 100 in all) and screen shots to help illustrate the best path to take. A brief section on multiplayer Half-Life rounds out this impressive guide.
