Wow, that's a pretty comprehensive list. I'll sort it into the correct sections as best I can. Bramblepath 07:33, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
I removed the parts that I've added. May finish later. Bramblepath 07:41, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
Okay, added them all. Bramblepath 20:43, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

I know this is a bad place to ask but how do I get the music to play? I have an old disc based version and I make sure the CD is always in but the music doesn't play whether or not I have the option to play CD music turned on or off.--81.129.0.108 23:33, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

I had the same problem with my copy but i'm not sure how to get it to work. It worked on very rare occasions but in most cases, nothing. It did that with Blue Shift and OP4 too. All I know is that the music works fine in HL: Source the cake is a lie 05:20, February 1, 2010 (UTC)DiceRoller

What's that little beeping music that you hear in the laboratories?

Half-Life 2: Episode Two[]

Nuclear Mission Jam can be heard in the now removed intro of Half-Life 2: Episode Two, as well as during the strider battle in Our Mutual Fiend.
