Half-Life is an exceptional single-player game and a solid multiplayer game (though the upcoming Team Fortress add-on may make it even better). It takes the tried-and-true one step further but ends up leaps and bounds ahead of the rest.

Half-Life is comprised of 18 levels full of action and suspense. Each level is split into smaller areas with loading zones. These load times are very short on all versions of Half-Life and never interrupt your game. This walkthrough will provide you with information on what to do and where to go. This guide is meant to be spoiler-free, so no plot details will be revealed here. Make sure you know the controls first for the PS2 version, and if you have the PC version, make sure your assigned controls are good to go.

Starting a Game[edit]
To start a new game, simply select 'New Game' for all versions of Half-Life. You will be able to choose your difficulty (Easy, Normal, or Hard) before you start the game. In Half-Life: Source, you can choose your difficulty in the options menu.
If you would like, you can try out the Hazard Course, which is a tutorial for Half-Life. It is highly recommend if this is your first time playing Half-Life, as it gives basic information that is vital for your survival. The Hazard Course is a very short stage, and can be accessed from the Main Menu of Half-Life. You can also access the multiplayer option (all versions) and the Decay mission (PS2 only) from the main menu.
Half-Life has no cutscenes and the entire game is presented through the eyes of the main character.

Gus[3] is the nickname of the forklift driver model seen throughout the Black Mesa Research Facility.
- 4List of appearances
Overview[edit]
Gus's name can be gleaned from the name tag seen on his uniform. The model represents a portly individual wearing a green jumpsuit, brown boots, and a yellow hard hat. On his forklift, the text 'HAIHAN' and '2.2 LITER' is visible written on both sides of the vehicle.
On May 16, 200-, multiple forklift drivers can be seen by Gordon Freeman and Barney Calhoun during their tram rides in Half-Life and Blue Shift, respectively. Two drivers are witnessed working in the tunnel underneath Gordon's initial tram pick-up location. A third is seen working near a rocket, eventually attempting to lift a pile of crates at the end of his route. The model also appears at the beginning of Decay featured on a safety poster.
Behind the scenes[edit]
The Gus model along with his forklift was designed, modeled, textured, and animated by Valve artist Steve Theodore.[1] Theodore named Gus after a janitor in his college dormitory who was said to be famously cranky and sport the same amount of facial hair stubble. The name was also chosen because it was the type that would typically be seen in round name labels, although not so much in real life. The entirety of the forklift mechanism on the vehicle was designed to work properly, but this functionality is barely visible in the game itself.[1]
The final model possesses a couple of unused animations. Since the only forklifts seen moving all follow scripted paths, the model never plays its drive or drive2 animations. In these sequences, the vehicle's wheels, steering wheel, and Gus's arms are fully animated.

Series writer Marc Laidlaw has stated that he was not even aware the character was named Gus.[2]
