I agree with him to some extent, but the gibs I saw in the youtube video made me content.
yes it gets to a point where inducing nightmares is not conducive to fun gaming.
Haha, nice.
But goriness aside, bodies are made up of more flesh than shown in most gibbing situations in games; he’s right about that.
I, too would like to see these blinds everyone speaks of… but it’s unclear whether they should be vertical or horizontal?
Vertical blinds would give the place an 80’s or 90’s feel, but horizontal blinds could take a room all the way back to the 60’s, or even the 40’s. (esp. metallic material)
yes, i saw the gibbing test too and the xen creatures’ gibbing are pure awesomeness because it uses their real bodyparts as gibs (as far as i could tell) but i still think the humans need a little more.
or it could be like this: from a typical explosion you can see a two legs two arms and some gibs. from a tau cannon or other high powered weapon they go into tiny pieces.
and if you come to think about it , the gore just makes you realise the seriousness of gibbing. i mean firing a rocket into a human being is just crude. => it must look crude
(a cheap attempt to make my point)
Hmmm, that could tie into the old missile base feel, but then again horizontal blinds for a window that long would be a bitch to pull up IRL.
now, i know this wasn’t like this in the original half-life, but i suggest that if your health drops too low it should start rising slowly to let’s say 10% or 15%
there are cases when you are hurt so bad in such a bad situation that is almost impossible to move on.
playing better kinda solves this problem, but making stupid decisions is what makes us human. among other things… and besides… dodging a bullet is more fun than taking it.
Half-Life has never been a difficult game. I don’t think that’s necessary. Of course, the concept be implemented seemlessly; just to 5-10%, and taking like 5 minutes.
I mean, this is not Call of Duty.
No, not even a tiny bit. This is Half-Life, not “Generic-Shooter-made-by-Bill, published most likely by EA”
Real men don’t need no stinkin’ regeneration crap.
gotcha… 
I would like to see in BM the models and animations of the health recharger and suit recharger of the HL1 of PS2, those models and animations were awesome and would be even more awesome in BM =D
The first time I played Half Life (the first game I ever played with mouselook), I had 4hp when I got to the houndeyes in the beginning of Questionable Ethics.
It’s because it would take forever to load and the game would lag. Like really lag.
asked and answered a day ago, and you’re not even right.
As much as i like to read up on the development of this mod and not spout off any inane random babble that springs to mind like most of you… this clearly has to be… really… just plain awful… you want vertical or horizontal blinds ?? so you can look at them from a distance for all of a second or two? have a word with yourselves…
On a different note… why isn’t there any hose pipes in this game?
The Source engine, being quite dated at this point compared to modern game engine technology, is simply not capable of rendering any more hose pipe than Gordon is already carrying in his HEV suit pants.
What the fuck is wrong with you? This isn’t some minor gameplay mechanic or aesthetic like improved AI or level design, these are BLINDS.
I’m going to boycott this free mod if they don’t incorporate blinds NAO.
