2. Intro
Hello there. My name is InfernalColonel (my parents wanted
something unusual) and I love Half-life. Now I've played
every Half-life game there is, so why not write a guide?
This game is Half-life: Blue Shift, starring Barney (that
security guard who was everywhere in Half-life 1.

3. Walkthrough
Begin! Just another day at Black Mesa... or is it. Anyways
the intro is similar to that of the original Half-life.
When your transit car comes to a stop get out and go to
the door.
"Insecurity"
While you wait for the door to open, look at the transit
car passing by. Notice someone familiar? When you enter
Black Mesa your going to want to follow the green arrow
to Area 3 security. Go down the two flights of stairs and
go through the door. When you enter the lobby follow the
red arrow to personnel facilities. Your stuff is in the
second row of lockers, pretty obvious, grab your armor and
go back to the lobby. The security at the desk will talk
about elevator problems and will ask you to help. Your
going to follow the blue arrow into the armory. Take the
elevator down. When you reach the bottom continue
following the blue arrow. Go to the guy behind the glass
to get your pistol. You can go to the target range and
get some practice if you want. After your done go back
and take the elevator up. When you get in the lobby, go
to the front door and go back to where the wall says:
Refreshments, H-E Particle labs and area 3 security.
Follow the red arrow to the H-E particle labs. After the
security guard opens the door, follow the red arrow up
the stairway and into the room with the scientists fixing
the computer.

the pop machines. When you enter the transit room make a
right and go down the ladder that says maintenance access.
Go through the door and down the flight of stairs. When
your in the no smoking area move the barrel out of the
way and enter the door. Activate your flashlight in this
room and go up the ladder. In the area with the water,
press the button for the bridge. While you wait notice
the G-man by you. Go up the flight of stairs and when you
reach the sector G main access lift sign, follow it.

will stop about half way with a warning sign. When the
lights go red, look at everything thats going on. The
elevator will crash.
"Duty Calls"
Exit the elevator and grab the crowbar. Make a right and
kill the two screamers. Don't go down the stairs. Keep
going right and smash boxes with your crowbar, grab a
clip on the shelf and smash the boxes to enter the hall
way. When you see the broke panel with a warning sign
above it, smash it with your crowbar. The lights will go
out so activate your flashlight and go back to the
stairs and go down. Use the pannel and go through the
level four door. Kill the headcrabs to your right. Don't
step in the water because it will hurt you. Instead jump
on the table and go to the other side. Kill the headcrab
in the room, grab the clips on the shelf, and go up the

just a little bit. Move the small box under the left
panel box and jump up until you reach the ladder. Climb
it up and go up to the left. When you reach the room
with busted lights kill the shockers to your right and
left. Two more shockers will appear so kill them. Go
