Fair 'nuff.

That’s been going on for a bit, hasn’t it? :rolleyes:

The scientists at Black Mesa filled their CRT screens with helium to improve the pixel quality with SCIENCE. The added benefit of course is less weight and more mobility. The scientists also have a good old time throwing their screens around.

Wouldn’t their screen become high pitched?

even though they don’t make noise

Wow. I wish more cockroaches were like you.

[Android11x]

What? You like that he just rolls over and dies?

[Ibanez]

No, I like that he doesn’t fight for his shitty suggestions for page after page.

[Tmaned]

Gotta admit though, it would be pretty badass to push a button and see a crowbar fly across the screen.

@Lukagerm

a second melee attack that doesn’t require switching weapons as that was a cool feature of games like Halo.

But…Halo is shite. :meh:

[Ibanez]

It has nothing to do with the game. Don’t bring that up here. Halo is merely one game (of many) that uses a melee system wherein you just strike out with your current weapon. It’s a good system, but doesn’t belong in Half Life. It would render the crowbar, an iconic weapon of the series, completely useless.

Agreed. I’ll never lose my love for the crowbar.

I am going to bring all sorts of fail for not doing a forum search for this…

The scientist performing CPR on a security guard or a scientist in the beginning (I forgot which); that really doesn’t make much sense.

So far as I understand, CPR doesn’t magically revive someone like in the movies. The purpose of CPR is to keep air and blood flowing until emergency crews with the proper equipment (defibrillator?) can actually heart/lungs working autonomously again.

Quoth the oh so (not) authoritative wikipedia

CPR is unlikely to restart the heart; its main purpose is to maintain a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and the heart, thereby delaying tissue death and extending the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage. Advanced life support and defibrillation, the administration of an electric shock to the heart, is usually needed for the heart to restart. This only works for patients in certain heart rhythms, namely ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, rather than the ‘flat line’ asystolic patient although CPR can help induce a shockable rhythm in an arrested patient.

Also, I want to add my vote for a second melee attack that doesn’t require switching weapons as that was a cool feature of games like Halo.

That would be so un-HL… but it would be sooo HL2: Substance.

HL2: Substance is a full re-vamp of the HL2 storyline, where 7 hours became 7 years and the Resistance has been fighting Combine the whole time. Good way to burn some time before BM is unleashed.

They added a “quick melee” binding, but it replaced the weapon-switch key. This annoyed me at first and I mapped several other keys to get things in a way that worked for me. Still, I know what you mean about having a quick-melee option.

In the end, I have to agree with devs. No go.
Freeman is a scientist, not ODST, nor a Spartan®, nor a grunt.
The crowbar rules. :freeman:

[Dias]

Oh boy, just what we need, another mod that shits all over HL2’s great story and atmosphere.
Edit: Oh, that mod’s been out since '04, and died in '06.

I guess he got lucky. That scene isn’t changing.

And, on that day, ThreeGoatPig will be just another name on the Banned Members Log.

What I’m wanting to suggest is, at least in Office Complex, to have “motivational” posters on the walls of the offices.

I know it’s not going to be featured, so I’m just arguing for the hell of it:

Who says it has to be a boring gun bash like Halo? It could be a quick animation of him swinging his crowbar.

I think that the “Why all we have to wear these ridiculous ties?” is enough. After all, the game isn’t only about ridiculous ties.

Sorta like the CoD knife attack?
