The confusion is occurring here because in an older FAQ it stated that “- crowbar: HL2 model, sounds and animations, but new textures” but this has been proven to be false by a post by ram.
There we have our answer.
I hope there’s a more… ‘free swing’ animation such as the one in HL1, it was so much more realistic, in my opinion.
Except it’s not. Have you ever tried to swing a crowbar àla HL1? They’re pretty heavy and no one could swing it so easily.
True, but it looked more visually appealing in my opinion.
As stated in numerous posts (search the word crowbar) it has been stated that in the trailor you are only seeing the “short swing” animation because it makes contact with an enemy (as stated by ram). There hasn’t been any media releases containing the “full swing” animation so please stop complaining/speculating about something that we haven’t yet seen.
And I mentioned that as well. It’s only the direct hit that we have seen.
I’m sure the black mesa crowbar animations will be just fine.
I’ll be damned. I never even noticed that.
I’ve been doing some research about the media releases and it seems that we are wrong about media release 9. From what I can make out from the archrives is that media release 8 was a two parter.
Posted by cman on Nov 27, 2006 " Media Release!" then on December 16 2006 "As promised, the Black Mesa team is proud to present “Stage 2,…” I know that we have MR8 correct but now that MR9 was wrong we are missing a MR somewhere.
EDIT: well it seems that MR 10 was on the date we expected so whoever initially counted the MR numbers may have mis counted so they are what they are.
I haven’t commented here in a while, all i can say is, keep it up guys, your work looks amazing!
dood. the signature. nsfw anyone? Or is it just me?
It’s better than it was before the forum crash.
Catz, if you are offended by it, I’ll change it, i figured it would be ok though.
Not offended, just a tad concerned for the children that frequent here.

If none of the other moderators are concerned, I am ok.
Has anyone else noticed that the Shotgun shells say that they give 12 shells but in the box there are 20?
I guess the other 8 are blanks XD
Oh the demon of the little details.
I am predicting here another wall of discussion in the same way of the Glock 17’s…
I just wanted to know if anyone else has seen that.
It’s a nice observation. You have eagle eyes.
That observation deserves a trivia in the wiki, unless the devs already changed the model, or made the Boom Candy Box give to the player 20 shells instead of 12.
Well maybe the children shouldn’t be on a website for a game that’s rated 17+.
