Yes, playing with Oculus Rift. It’s the finest VR game I’ve played and the only game, after owning Rift for three years, that makes owning Rift make sense. The game’s only limitations come as a result of the current state of Vr hardware. The atmosphere, detail, world, story, and writing are what really set the game apart, as with past half-life games, and VR is merely the tech that delivers it. It’s hard to go back to playing traditional games after this. Even Doom Eternal seems flat and amateurish in comparison. If you are one who is concerned about motion sickness, the game supports a blink movement mode that eliminates it. I am very sensitive to this and I’ve had no issues. Watch out for head crabs.

Quoted from Doctor6:

You really need to stand. There is no crouch button and I found it pretty important to crouch down both during gun fights and to walk into cramped areas.

There is crouch button, on Rift at least. Left stick down. I play seated in a swivel chair, very comfy.
