Post your funny experiences during Half Life. Things that weren't meant to happen, but fortunetly did and gave you a good laugh.
I'll start off:
During "Follow Freeman!" I fell off a little ledge thing, and a citizen was beneath me. I fell on him. He died, but didn't make me lose any health.


Also, not during Half Life but actually Counter-Strike. I was on an AWP server, and we were frozen for about 3 seconds before the round started. I go my sniper rifle out, aimed it at someone's head who I could see on the other side, and as soon as I heard "Go, go, go!" I shot him. He died instantly, and was probaly gutted since he had to wait yet another round.

What are your funny experiences?
 
In Sourceforts, I shot a sniper bolt at an enemy, but missed - my bolt hit the flag carrier instead, loosing them the flag.
 
Playing Follow Freeman with Smod. In the scene where citizens get artileried by something one of the bodies landed on my squad, killing my medic :(
 
Oh, thinking of that, when I played Smod, a sniper killed one of my squad members, making him do a backflip into a headcrab, killing it.

EDIT: Just now, when playing Blue Shift, i entered the elevator you crash in - then the scientists screamed "Oh dear!", lay down, and exploded. Then i got the "Improper handling of a firearm" text.
 
In Ravenholm I battered a zombie to death with a medkit:cheese:

In HL1 that place with the scientist that screams "OMG We're doomed!" then runs into a tripmine. Well I managed to get there ahead of him and destroy the mine, he ran past me into the next room then just dropped dead:|

In Follow Freeman I got pissed at those stupid squad members. I picked up a sentrygun and turned around at my squad members: *Let me get out of your way Mr Freeman* RATATATATAT!!!! *ARGH UGH*
 
I spawned a bunch of manhacks,disabled AI,made a small explosion pretty far away from them, and for some reason,they started flying around in different directions!
How's that for realistic physics? :rolleyes:
 
I used Liquid Snake's (Substance mod) super stregnth to smash a combine's skull in, using one of the cups his buddy ordered me to pick up at the beginning of the game. . . that was somewhat rewarding to me
 
I had the super gravity gun at the time while playing Follow Freeman/Anticitizen One and my squad mates were pissing me off. At one point I snapped and flipped a car over on top of my squad.
 
The second gunship in Highway 17 always crashes in front of me after I shoot it down. I then spend ten minutes gravity punting it into the water.
 
In Highway 17, that part with the broken bridge and the first gunship. I was speeding with the buggy to jump over the gap in the bridge when all of a sudden the gun ship flies right in front of me and I jumped with the buggy right into the gunship :/
 
When playing through Blue Shift, right after the elevator crash and there's a small cutscene where you're supposed to see two houndeyes munching away at a dead security guard; What I saw was that very scene, but with the added detail of an animated headless hev suit without hands or feet, halfway through the floor, beating one of the houndeyes with a crowbar. I even had a screenshot but alas it seems to have been corrupted because I cannot open it anymore :(
 
I was in Ravenholm and a zombie was walking torwders me. Halfway in between us and a little to the left was an explosive barrel. I light that on fire, and he starts to walk to it! Listen, if you want to throw a barrel at me,fine. But if its explosive and on fire...not such a good idea.
 
my experience

Once, I wasin RAVENHOLM and i threw a grenade at a zombie. ( The zombie is programmed to whack back physics objects in its way), so it whacked it back at me and I died from the explosion.

Also, in hl2 ep1, in the hospital, the combine soldiers were fighting zombies. Then, a soldier directed another guy to stand behind this physics object. A zombie walked over and whacked the object just when the combine guy threw a nade. the whole place just exploded with soldiers and zombs, killing alyx as well ( i just stood there making alyx get all the hits, looking at that incredible battle)

Whenever I do that I fly right through the damn thing.
 
on s-mod,during the coast, i got a physgun and fired it as a gunship then tried to smash it againsed the floor. it clipped thru the floor and exploded, killing all its combine chums.

i love littel bugs like that:thumbs:
 
I remember a few funny times I've had in Half Life 2. In Follow Freeman (I think), I remember having a quiet moment in the action and grabbing a large metal sheet/fence with the gravity gun, and randomly firing it into the Air above me. I walk forward a couple of steps and two combine troopers run out the building shooting at me. I quickly change to my pulse rifle, buts its not necessary as the large metal sheet randomly falls out of the sky and lands on their heads, killing them both instantly.

Ah the memoires....
 
Dog's ball + Ravenholm = amazing fun

Kills headcrabs, distracts zombies; hilarious.

Original half-life: My day in hell with the Nihilanth, until I realized that the topmost platform in his chamber was reachable.

Made things a lot simpler.
 
The ending to HL2 when Gman walks through the door. It was like the ending of the movie Saw.

As he walks through, I scream, "NOOOOOO!!!!!"

Severely awesome.
 
I had a similar experience to soulslicer, but instead of a grenade, a zombie threw a medkit at me. Saved my damn life.
 
If you time the last shot on the gunship when youre on the road, so that that last shot kills it when its at the end of the road itself and starts turning back, it crashes and lands on all the cars without blowing into pieces. Always gives me a giggle.

Also like when models get stuck in the scenery and start flaying around.

Oh, and the small houses by the bridge crossing (where you have to navigate over the beams under the bridge), theres a small dip in the centre of the yard. Run around the houses and outside etc, using the gravity gun and stack everything into that dip as best you can. Once done, softly throw a grenade into the centre of it all, run back and watch everything go everywhere. Cracks me up everytime.
I used to save game before the first explosion to watch it over and over, and try different stacking.
 
I onece fired a barral at som zombies, then wondered if zombies I spawned would help me. i paused, spawned a zombie.....just under the reacently thrown barral. its head clipped thru, and it started walking about with a new, extreamly dangerous bit of headwear. also: he still attacked me. that was the easiest, most satisfying headshot, like, ever.
 
I was playing HL once (probably was HL:S) where you have to push the sample into the anti-mass spectrometer. I wondered what happened if you tried to pull it out as soon as you put it in. So I push it in and pull it out ASAP, the Resonance Cascade still occurs. However when it got to the part where Vortigaunts are appearing, falling and disappearing one of the Vortigaunts appeared, landed on the sample I had pulled out and didn't disappear! So there I was in the middle of the Resonance Cascade, weaponless running around trying to avoid Vortigaunt fire (he did kill me in the end).
 
That's actually quite a well known glitch Op. It's used in speed runs I think (Don't know why though)
 
You never teleport away and can use the time to move away to the control room instead. When the maps transitions you can skip three minutes of the second chapter.
 
During the under bridge sequence, after you de-activate the force-field and all the guards rush under the bridge to get you, I was still reeling at the awesome power of the crossbow and using it all the time. A guy ran out of a door and plucked a grenade out of his bum-bag or whatever and threw it. Just as this happened, I pulled the trigger and the bolt knocked the grenade out of the air and into the room behind him, killing him and two of his mates.
Wonderful!
 
I was batteling a strider by that parlament building or whatever and another strider came up behind me tried to slice me with its leg but somehow it didnt kill me but I got stuck on its leg.So I was sitting there killing everything while it was carrying me around.The only prblem was that I couldnt get off and the rebels killed it and when it fell it killed me.Happy days people truely happy days.
 
I killed a zombie in Ravenholm but he still screamed after I killed him. (Corrupted files anyone?) And I also killed a fast headcrab, but the headcrab flied off a ledge and hit a zombie in the head! But the zombie just stumbled. :(
 
In water hazard, I got a checkpoint as I killed the hunter-chopper and it lands on my head, killing me. I have no other saved games. I have to spend the next ten minutes trying to dodge it.
 
well in ep1 in the underground area where there is one part full of barnacles and the zombine start rushing at you. well while alyx was battling them i got sucked up by a barnacle, and guess what i had no weapon except grav gun

at that moment, a nearby barrel was sucked up by another barnacle and a zombine grenade set it alight. then, it exploded and i died.
 
I was on the "Follow Freeman" chapter of Half Life 2 in the part whith all the snipers, and I had already been torn to shreds and had like 10 health left.
I walked out only to get sniped immediately afterwards and the medic of my 3-man squad said "Dibs on the suit." only to get sniped half a second after saying it.
 
This is a well-known one, I think.

After bringing an extra turret with me to make the Combine onslaught in Nova Prospekt a bit easier, I continued to carry it along as Alyx and I then went to find Mossman and Eli. When in the Combine teleportation chamber, the turret opened fire on Eli's pod as it entered the area. After a few seconds his corpse clipped through and fell to the floor, which brought the story to an abrupt end.
 
OMG those last two are f*cking hilarious.

Ahh, I've had many, many funny moments in HL2, but probably the one that always sticks out best for me is right before you enter the sewers below Nova Prospekt, right below the first tunnel when you're on the cliff. If the antlions don't get the fast zombie, it will come howling out of the tunnel at full speed and go flying off of the cliff into the ocean. Cracks me up every time.

Known things that I always enjoy: Setting combine on fire and watching them flail around, painting zombies, and (at the part with the electrified train car) watching the headcrabs jump out of their pod, only to be sent flying backwards, dead from electrocution.

Watching the antlions massacre a squad of combine is always fun, especially when flying ragdolls occur.
