Well, take out the security cams first, derp.
Then you might as well steal as many valuables as you can (like top-secret weapons etc), get the fuck out of there and emigrate.
You can’t pry a locked door open with a crowbar to get into a room, but you can tear vent grates off the walls and crawl/race the security gaurds through the ventilation system to get into said room?
If Half-Life has taught me anything about life it is:
If there is ever a zombie Apocalypse, Alien Invasion,Nuclear war, or any Apocalypse at all the safest place is not the gun store or the military… it is the Hardware store!
Grates usually have screws you know. You can take them off & put them back on without a scratch. Can’t say the same for busting a door open with a crowbar. :rolleyes:
Yes, but if you’re playing the realism card, they’re not normally wide enough to get a person through either. Why would they?
well if the crowbar isn’t enough we still have the RPG… :rolleyes:
yeah , that probably falls right into the ‘‘standart office supplies’’ list …
Totally, dude. I wrote one off on taxes as a business essential. You can use the spent rocket shells as pencil holders!
Getting into Kleiner’s office- no problem.
you could probably blind people with the laser sight too 
and maybe make a damn expending machine work with a rocket…
come to think of it , almost everything becomes better with rockets
indeed, what would be of the life without them?
Wars wont be real wars, expending machines would not work, in tf2 the soldiers would be f*cked, the ppl of the government would not have anything to defend themselves, the doors would be always closed and the most important: where would be the fun of making enemies gib in videogames?
Keep in mind (in the context of the OP’s assumption) that quote only refers to some day before the Black Mesa incident. We can safely assume Half-Life isn’t Gordon’s first day…
Thank-you, everyone, on the feedback regarding my suggestion.
And for those comments that do not offer constructive criticism for my suggestion, I have this to say; They are all funny as hell XD
I warrant all arguments and agreements with my thoughts, each has it’s merits.
However, I must admit that the particular comment I was referring to is the one about owing Gordon a beer. Once again, this links back to the generic security guard in HL1 mentioning that if they get out of Black Mesa alive they would have a beer together.
Honestly, I have not played Blue Shift, so I can not account for the events of that game. I do not believe, however, that Blue Shift should be considered over HL1 itself.
Barney says “I believe you dropped this back at Black Mesa.” right before he gives you the crowbar in HL2, how the hell would he know that you had a crowbar? Gordon was put into cryostasis right after the incident, so he couldn’t tell Barney either, even if he could talk. 
Other survivors, perhaps having seen him on security cameras? And there’s the whole thing about him being famous and an urban legend and such as well.
Of course, how did Kliener get the HEV suit? The whole situation lead me to develop a theory involving G-man giving Eli the crowbar and HEV. And of course, the episode 1 crowbar is Barney’s crowbar from BS.
Crowbars! Crowbars for EVERYBODY!:retard:
Guys, it’s a freakin game. The crowbar and beer lines are just references to Half-Life, nothing more, nothing less.
As far as story goes, it’s quite clear (if you take Blue Shift into account, and there’s no reason not to) that Barney is the one banging the door.
