How to Use a Jetpack in Half Life

"Half Life" star Gordon Freeman has more than a crowbar at his disposal. In addition to a small arsenal of weapons, Freeman can find a long jump module that resembles a jet pack. The device does not make the player fly, but it can help you get to hard to reach spots around the game. The player will be required to utilize the long jump module in order to complete the Black Mesa Hazard Course, so use this tutorial to familiarize yourself with the basics before you dive into the adventure.
