[1] - Health Indicator - this shows how much life Gordon has left. If the number reaches 0, Gordon will die. You will always start with 100 health, and you cannot exceed that maximum number.

[2] - Hazard Suit Power - this shows how much power your special hazard suit has left. This basically acts as exterior armor as damage from enemies will be cut in half while there is a % of power to the suit. When the suit's power is 0, you will not receive any protection. You can recharge the energy by using special power meters, or picking up power cells.

[3] - Ammo Indicator - this shows how many bullets you have currently loaded in your weapon, along with the remaining stash of ammunition you can use. If the weapon has a special secondary ammo, you will usually see the rockets or grenades listed above.

[4] - Special Status Indicator - this shows whenever you enter potentially dangerous situations, such as an area with toxic waste, or electricity.
If you're hit by a specific element, the danger sign for that element will appear.
Electricity has a shock logo, and toxic waste has a skull with crossbones.

[5] - Crosshair - this is what you will use during the course of the game for aiming weapons, and determining the center view of
Gordon Freeman. Use the mouse to navigate the view wherever you desire.

/Basic Training/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Being an associate in an underground lab is one thing, but handling combat on a regular basis is another. Before you can leap right into the intense action that Half-Life possesses, it's a key quality that you understand the basics of how to navigate, and engaging opponents in the world of Half-Life. This section will describe some basic interactions that will occur throughout the game.

   =======================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: Action HL is basically an online multiplayer game where players take the roles of action heroes using various action movie techniques. You'll use a plethora of strange and loud weapons, plus stunt moves, special abilities, and cool player models. The mod use to be extremely popular until the arrival of the Specialists.
RATING: ***

   ========================================================================
--[ Azure Sheep ]-->>Website: http://halflife.multiplayer.it/azuresheep/
   ========================================================================
MODE: Single Player
DESCRIPTION: This is a special mod developed by a small team that puts you in the role of a Black Mesa security guard caught in the middle of the Xen invasion. Your true goal is to escape alive rather than giving a free care for stopping the aliens. Lasts fairly long and is a decent one-time playthrough.
RATING: ***

   =====================================================
--[ Battlegrounds ]-->>Website: http://www.bgmod.com/
   =====================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: This is one of the more unique mods available for all of HL.
The setting takes place during the American Revolution back in the 1770s. Players can side on either the British or American sides and duke it out via selected classes. Muskets are fairly inaccurate weapons, which turns this game into a hybrid mix of melee and ranged combat. You'll also get that Patriot feeling as you charge together with your men.
RATING: ****

   =====================================================================
--[ Blue Shift ]-->>Website: http://www.planethalflife.com/blueshift/
   =====================================================================
MODE: Single/Multi Player
DESCRIPTION: Blue Shift is an officially licensed product from Valve Studios themselves. This expansion pack costs money, and places you in the role of a Black Mesa security guard. It introduces only a few new features, and is regarded as the worst expansion pack out of all of the HL bunch.
RATING: **

   ===============================================================
--[ Counter-Strike ]-->>Website: http://www.counter-strike.net/
   ===============================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: Counter-Strike is the mod that started the online HL gaming craze. Not only is it the most popular online action game of all-time, but it is still one of the most played to this day.
Its simplistic design of counter-terrorists versus terrorists pits strategy versus action game etiquette. You can buy various weapons with money, and play with the largest amount of competition out there.
RATING: *****

   ===========================================================
--[ Day of Defeat ]-->>Website: http://www.dayofdefeat.com/
   ===========================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: This WWII mod takes you through as either the Axis forces or
Allied Forces. You can take the role of several different classes on each team, and it has an extremely high realism rating. Probably the second most popular mod for HL, and well worthy of the title.
RATING: *****

   =======================================================
--[ Desert Crisis ]-->>Website: n/a
   =======================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: This game takes place in a wastelandish future with two organizations battling out for economic control. It use to be a truly cool mod with various abilities, weapons, and close range techniques. However, as time has passed, the game has lost any official contact from the dev team, and has declined greatly in popularity. You can still find a download lying around, and it's great to play with a group of friends.
RATING: **

   =======================================================
--[ Earth's Special Forces ]-->>Website: n/a
   =======================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: Another unique mod that pits you in the role of super heroes that each have special abilities. You'll also be able to play as DBZ characters and use damaging fireballs, energy attacks, and kung fu. This mod is popular to the anime fans out there.
RATING: ***

   =========================================================
--[ Existence ]-->>Website: http://www.existence-mod.com/
   =========================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: This is one of the first mods to actually mimic after the
Matrix movie. You'll be able to join either the Rebels or
Agents teams and battle it out on a Zynon-like map with the office building, Zynon mainframes, and large urban landscape. Unfortunately, the mod has imbalances and could use improvement.
RATING: *

   ======================================================
--[ Firearms ]-->>Website: http://www.firearmsmod.com/
   ======================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: Firearms is a realistic-like mod that pits you on two different teams (red versus blue), and players battle it out on capture- the-flag maps. The great thing about it is that the game features a unique customization feature of over 30 weapons to choose from. You'll basically turn yourself into a gunmaster from playing this game alone. Has a popular fanbase.
RATING: ****

   =============================================================
--[ Front Line Force ]-->>Website: http://www.frontline2.com/
   =============================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: Another mod that pits players on two teams. You will battle it out with a unique class system and various weapons to equip to each character. Unfortunately, it lacks any new items to make it different from the other mods. However, it is a high-quality mod with decent levels.
RATING: ***

   ============================================================================
--[ Global Warfare ]-->>Website: http://www.planethalflife.com/globalwarfare
   ============================================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: Global Warfare is a special team-based mod that pits NATO versus Arab forces. This was actually developed before the entire Middle East conflict. It features a unique reinforcement method where players are dropped in via a helicopter. If your helo is shot down by a Stinger, then you must wait for another chopper to respawn. Has some interesting gameplay methods, but suffers from a lack of popularity.
RATING: **

   =====================================================================
--[ Natural Selection ]-->>Website: http://www.natural-selection.org/
   =====================================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: By far one of the best mods HL has to offer, Natural Selection combines elements seen in Starcraft with those of a first- person shooter. The game takes place in the future, where space colonization is a rampart industry. Suddenly, a new alien life force is discovered, and it's two teams against each other (space marines versus aliens). Each team has different styles of gameplay. A head commander builds structures on the marines while the soldiers do all of the hands-on building. Aliens are designed for close-combat and can evolve into different classes. Each team must fight for resource nodes in order to perform special actions. Don't miss out on this popular game.
RATING: *****

   ============================================================================
--[ Opposing Force ]-->>Website: http://www.planethalflife.com/opposingforce
   ============================================================================
MODE: Single/Multi Player
DESCRIPTION: Opposing Force is yet another official HL expansion pack released by Valve Studios. The game places you in the role of one of the government pawn soldiers who is sent out to the complex to investigate the scenario at Black Mesa. Not before long, you're caught up in a barrage between Gordon, the Xen aliens, and the desire to escape this barren place. One of the best expansion packs out there.
RATING: ****

   =======================================================
--[ Ricochet ]-->>Website: n/a
   =======================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: Ricochet is a special mod that comes with the download of CS.
The game pits you in a futuristic ring where players duke it out by tossing lethal sharpened discs at each other. With the use of jumping pads and low gravity, see who can get the most kills in a free-for-all. This mod is not as great as one would expect, and does have a low fanbase.
RATING: *

   ========================================================================
--[ Science and Industry ]-->>Website: http://www.planethalflife.com/si/
   ========================================================================
MODE: Multiplayer
DESCRIPTION: Again, this is one of those mods that makes you cringe at the amount of peculiarity you will encounter. To start off, this game pits two rival corporations against each other. Their ultimate goal is to exceed each other's profits. So, each corporation kidnaps some of the most brilliant scientists to develop new technologies, and each team must fight out to hold a greater control of scientists to increase your cash flow. Teams vote on which technology they want to upgrade next, which adds an interactive flavor to the mix. This game
