The Hazardous-Course 2 is a spoof of the original "Hazard-Course" from Half-Life, which resembles the first player training levels. In contrary to this, the Hazardous-Course, as it's name let's suggest, is much more dangerous. Although it's a mod for a first person shooter, the player can only wield a weapon at the designated target range. So it plays more like an adventure. The difficulty is quite challenging, but the rewards are accordingly. The Basic Training is peppered with hidden Secrets, which reveal tools, shortcuts, control rooms, and other features, to ease almost all challenges. There are two Secret Levels and one Bonus Level to discover, and to complete to access the final part of the Hazardous-Course. Help can be found on the page in form of a FAQ and a complete walkthrough. Unfortunately these are all in german. But to be translated soon. But be aware, that these helps may spoil some surprising Easter eggs, insider gags, and a lot of the actual game play of the HC2!
Hazardous Course 2 is an architectural and gameplay genius. Level design that will make you want to explore every corner of the map in search for the next secret, or hold your breath and take in the scenery (in GoldSRC engine!)and puzzles and trials that will test your skill and knowledge of the game in the most demanding and satisfying manner, both combined with a nostalgic, true to the original Half-Life style, amazing sense of humor, and amount of polish make for an unforgettable and so far unparalleled experience.
If only you knew how much i want to erase my memory only to re-experience this masterpiece for the first time. And you might have just the chance to do so, if you haven't played it.
