[duckymate]

To think the beta can look this good, especially the glock animation, i would say the modders might've done something

[MondySpartan]

I understand this mod isn’t finished yet, but there was an early RPG model (its weapon selection item is even present in the Day One files), for some reason not present in Absolute Zero.

[slickcalf]

The arrows are purple because they are "Neurotoxin treated crossbow ammunition".

[average_pyro]

Answer to why the beta looks better:


Look in the top left corner during the beta lol

[baileymash]

Why do some of the beta seem better...

[EvilNMessedUp]

For anyone wondering, these are not the actual beta weapons. These weapons are from a mod called Absolute Zero, a mod that attempts to recreate the beta versions of Half-Life.

[eduardosanchezbarrios]

I prefer the Beta Shotgun and the background Ligthing in the beta

[Brikbot-uewf]

I find it odd how in both Gordon still crams shells into the heat shield of the spas-12

[Bacho]

Well Gordon's taste in crowbars is the same

[naqib]

The pistol, the crossbow and the taus cannon in beta looks more better in my opinion especially the effects and everything with the crossbow




And the shotgun... Oof

[shotenno]

I love that the background in the beta is better then final version

[hydrolus]

The beta glock has a really good model and a really good animation

[KatL]

Beta animation : 9.5/10
Retail animation : 9.3/10

[automatonm]

11:28 the snark nest moved, I've never seen it do that before.

[GarudaTeam]

I love these sounds

I absolutely love, how you edit your videos.

[Pardroid]

Half life Retail:Nope
Half life Beta:Yep

[kirblitekirbyboi]

Red is in Beta... but Orange is in Retail idk why it changed that color

[systemshocker]

the rpg actually had an earlier model for it, but it aparently waent used in the mod(Im pretty sure they didnt expect you to get that far into the mod)

[Celxorth]

When will the other builds of hl1 will be found because the oldest we have is the alpha version. Why the beta version of half-life 1 is still not found?
