Half-Life mod – Firearms 2.4 & 2.5 – Gameplay Compilation

Welcome to the Firearms 2.4 and 2.5 gameplay mix compilation special! Sorry about the aspect ratio (my editor is terrible at dealing with 16:10 clips)!
Introduced in April of 2000, Firearms is one of the classic mods for Half-Life (1998) that demands team play and a somewhat tactical approach in running and gunning.
Instead of a currency system like that of Counter-Strike, Firearms gives each player a set amount of credits to spend on armor, equipment and weapons. The amount of credits you spend on the former two categories determine what guns you can afford and how many you can carry (only limited by credits). Of course, you can also choose from pre-determined classes or even to not spend anything if you so desire!
Even before Battlefield 1942 popularized its conquest-style multiplayer game-mechanics in 2002, Firearms used a reinforcement system for tracking which team is winning or losing a match since the beginning. Starting from version 2.1 (summer of 2000), a skill system was added to the mod for added depth and class customization. This not only extended on the offensive options, but also expanded the reinforcement system to accommodate gaining back lost reinforcements via means of evacuating fallen soldiers (MEDIVAC) as a medic, incentivizing more aggressive teamwork to keep your numbers higher.

    This was one of the best mods ever for half-life.

    Even without a story mode, it looks good.

    When the mod was old enough and you could start reload, switch weapons then quickly switch back and reload would be done.

    FA 2.4 & 2.5. Loved the Famas & Benelli Combo. What a great time. I played for O.L.D, FAMAS and HEF (shortly).
    The Specialists was the other golden HL Mod.

    Is this the game that had a broken radio voice that would say something like "Artillery fire at these coordinates now!"



  14. Maaike2356 on October 28, 2021 at 8:52 pm

    "aug whore"
    "double ar slut"

  18. Aaron Cole on October 28, 2021 at 8:56 pm

    This used to be my favorite game when I was a young teen. I miss this time.



  19. chris. on October 28, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    i got the bots in the game, but they don’t seem to shoot at each other. they just stand there
    EDIT: some shoot and are good and some just hold a grenade, or a knife but don’t use them. I put the bot skill to the highest and some still just hold a grenade or knife.



  20. Zeroblade on October 28, 2021 at 9:02 pm

    So glad sven coop is around its like an updated version of this on most servers



  21. Frank Villatoro on October 28, 2021 at 9:06 pm

    Oh the memories! Early 2000s I purchased Counter Strike stand alone and it included FA 2.5. I didn’t touch CS and instead played this mod! 🤣 Good times.



  22. DionysusVoice on October 28, 2021 at 9:09 pm

    By any chance, do you remember the name of the map @ 6:19?

    Thanks up front!



  23. Colin Martin on October 28, 2021 at 9:10 pm

    Jesus is this game still live?

    I remember playing it back in the summer of 2000. Easily one of the best multiplayer mods out there, was such a shame it never took off.

    And all the weird ass controversy that happened between it and the release of 2



  24. Jason Hamelin on October 28, 2021 at 9:10 pm

    This game was the shit!



  25. AirAssault7 on October 28, 2021 at 9:13 pm

    Oh my God this brings back so many memories. I already posted a comment on here and I still keep coming back lol.



  26. Sven Dee on October 28, 2021 at 9:13 pm

    pls bring me back to the legendary The Armory Server



  27. Hank Richardson on October 28, 2021 at 9:17 pm

    Righteous!



  28. Lokstock220 on October 28, 2021 at 9:21 pm

    This, CS, DOD, TS, Heart of Evil and Desert Crisis were my favorites.
