Exit stage left.
Go right at the fork, and use the wheel. Be careful of the sentry guns around here.
Head down the West tunnel, then to the extreme left. Be careful of the monster in the water. Head underneath the cogs and come out on the other side. Take out the marines and a sentry gun.
Be careful of the tank and marines as you head towards the elevator.
Use the tank to make a hole in the door. Then hurry up and kill all of the enemies.
Watch out for that laser gun to your left. Take it out with grenades or your rocket launcher. There's also big baddies, use a hornet gun to full effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lambda Core
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Take the elevator down, using the switch to turn it on. Watch out, those sneaky female assasins are back. Three times. Meaning there's three of them. Resort to camping and sniping, that works the best. If you can place yourself in a corner, and are quick to react, you'll get the job done easy.
Kill them, and the scientist will open a door for you. Head to the right, and pick up the weapon there. Then take the elevator down to the coolant area.
Find each of the pump rooms and the switches located inside them to turn the pumps on. Head to the auxiliary reactor now, jump into the water. Get through the tunnel, and use both switches on both sides of the core. Climb the ladders and leave.
Make your way up the elevator shaft and get off at the upper level.
Here, you can turn on valves, which blow high pressured steam about.
It'll hurt you and the enemies. Time-wasting but fun. Here you'll also meet the teleporters, step into the green one to appear on the orange one. That's how they work, remember that.
Get inside Core Level B. This is a nightmare. You have to use the teleporters to get up onto revolving platforms. Time it wrong and you fall. What were those scientists thinking? No ladders? Damn! So time it so that when you step into the teleporter, you'll appear on the rotating platform platform above you. Save after you get it right.
Once you get to the top, there'll be a teleporter there. Avoid it and head into the door behind you. Take the ladder to the top and get the scientist to open the door. Take the stuff inside including the jump pack.
Now, kill off all the monsters while the scientist is preparing the thing. When he says go, GO. And you'll be transported into the alien world of Xen.
Personal opinion:Half-Life would have gotten a 10/10 instead of 9.5 (in my opinion) if the alien enviroments weren't so damn stupid. Hey, they might have been funky but everything (apart from the aliens) was going pretty realistically. But who am I to judge?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Xen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This part is very hard. You've gotta make your way from platform to platform, and to reach the center platform. Use the long jump learnt in the hazard course, and save after each successful jump.
On the platform, there's a healing pool of water. It'll give your health back if you're hurt. Enter the "center" of the planet through the entrance.
Walk up to those weird mushrooms in this room, and USE THEM to release yellow things. Once you've hit all three, a teleporter will open in the middle.
From DoobaDan: when you get into the room with the mushrooms:
1. break the cage with the little yellow things in it.
2. USE the mushrooms. the yellow things will float into them, and create a teleporter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gonarch's Lair
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoa...weird...see that spider thingy? Shoot it's belly, and soon it'll start running away. Give chase and keep aiming for the sac.
Keep on chasing and shooting, and you'll pass one pit, then reach another. You can choose to drop down and take the time to kill the spider, or let the spider fall, and you can kill it with your snarks. Either way works. Don't forget to take out the headcrabs as well.
The trees there will protect you, but you won't need it. Move on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Interloper
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're low on life, keep an eye out for those healing pools. Be careful of the pits too, fall in and you're dead. Find the yellow part of the cave and go inside. Smash the stuff around the white column and take a ride to the top.
It's chaos here. Make your way from platform to platform while avoiding or killing the enemies present. Once you get close enough, grab a ride on the things flying around and head into the teleporter.
Sneak past the tentacle in the next area and climb past the rocks to reach a teleporter. Be careful, there's those huge baddies again.
Now you're in some weird factory...do not fire a weapon at all, even if it isn't aimed at anything. The workers will all start to attack you, that's bad.
Take the elevator up to the conveyor belts. Find the belt which leads to a path without a blue forcefield, and head through. Keep going until you find your way is obstructed by big, barrels of something. You can either long jump over them (yes, it is possible), or take them out.
You'll have to deal with an enemy though. It's best to throw a satchel, blast open the barrel with your shotgun, and then detonate the satchel.
See that weird, vent shaft? It's all red. Head inside and in the next room, you have my permission to snipe out everything. Make your way to the top, and you'll have to deal with some annoying platforms, enemies, but at the end, you'll see the light. I mean, teleporter.

The big, bad, final boss is a...baby? Well, not really but he sure does look like one. First, be careful of the teleporter that he shoots out, he'll take you to another room and you'll have to make your way back in.
First things first, destroy the three orange triangular crystals on the wall. This will prevent him from regenerating. Now bounce to the top, and blast his head until it opens. Drop a satchel in and detonate it. You could also try hide in it and take him out from there, or use grenades.
It's not too hard, and the ending gives you two choices. You may want to save before seeing either of them.
Good work!

4)Tips
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-Take the Hazard Course. What's that? You're good enough at FPS's already? Stuff you, there's a whole heap of new commands to learn.
-Don't forget about the secondary fire! The most useful are the sniper mode for the crossbow, the grenade for the MP5, and the gauss gun buildup.
-Reload whenever there are no dangers around. You don't want to go into situations and find out that you've gotta reload.
-Often, the grenade from the MP5 is faster and more accurate than a normal grenade.
From Neeinc99:
Hi, i dont need to know anything but i have an eddition for you guide, smal but could help if your on the brink of dying, in the sewer part before the offive complex hop in and go all the way to the left, then make a right, there should be a ladder, climb it to find a health charger thingy and a door leading you to the other side
From ~devilz2003~:
When facing the army grunts or marines, always chuck a few grenades (if you have any) into the area first because it makes them scatter and probably kill 1 or 2. then the ones that are left are spread apart and cant work as a team to take you down. then charge into action with your mp5. also, its good to listen to their radio communications so you know when they're gonna attack and your ready for them.
And these cheats: give item_suit =gives you the HEV suit give item_battery =gives you 1 battery/rechargy cell notarget =makes you invisible to MOST enemies
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5)Cheats
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To cheat, right-click on the Half-Life shortcut and in Properties, find the Target box. At the end of hl.exe, put -console. It should end up like: hl.exe -console
Or, go to the DOS prompt, and in the Half-Life folder, type in hl.exe -console
Now, when in the game, press ~ and bring up the console. Type in sv_cheats 1 and then the cheats are active. Sometimes they don't work...try moving to a new area, and it should work.
Cheats: /god-God mode impulse 101-All weapons, everything noclip-Walk through walls
From ~devilz2003~: give item_suit =gives you the HEV suit give item_battery =gives you 1 battery/rechargy cell notarget =makes you invisible to MOST enemies
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is more of a bug than a cheat. When in the sniper/zoom mode of the crossbow, quicksave the game, which is usually the F6 button. Then quickload the game, with F7, and change your weapon. You'll be in zoom mode for that weapon! Very sneaky.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, for quicker reload times, do the following. When in the middle of the reload animation, switch to another weapon. Then, when you switch back, it should be reloaded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Other command line commands: -nointro - You'll skip the long intro. -startwindowed - Start Half-Life in a window.
