Half Life 2 was my favorite game back in 2004. I remember loving the game with its ground breaking graphics and game play. I also remember tweaking my ATI 9800 graphics drivers for hours to prevent it from crashing and/or stuttering. Ah yes, the good old days. Wait, we still do that with games today so some things never change.
If you'd like to relive your Half Life 2 days but in Virtual Reality. Then follow these directions. If you already have SteamVR installed, you can skip to section 2.

The difficulty changes enemy and friendly. Then, make sure you have Half Life Source if you want to play the hl1 campaign (as it is the only version that works with gmod because it uses the source engine), and the hl2 campaign comes with gmod. In the gmod menu, click on the game controller icon and make sure that Half Life source has a. SteamVR resolution settings do not work – you must change them manually (how high you go depends on your video card. On a 1080Ti, I used 3325 horizontal.) Start a new game and select HL2 from the options. If you are starting for the first time, choose d1trainstation01 – they are NOT in correct order, rather they are alphabetical.
