I was playing Office Complex and I got to the part near the end where the security guard says “The elevators out, but we can still climb.” However, when you get to the elevator he just sits there. I was thinking it would be cool if he tries to jump the gap to the ladder, but his hands slip when he grabs the rung. Then the scientist in the same room could say something like “Uh, you go on ahead.” This would be not only cool, but a little more realistic since usually the left over Black Mesa workers don’t actually do anything to even try to escape.
Which elevator are you talking about?
the elevator shaft right before the we got hostiles chapter i believe.
This one
That would be quite cool, actually
There’s already a dangling scientist up above. I wouldn’t try to climb that shaft if I saw someone try just before I did and fail. At the very least, the NPCs who are following you should have scripted responses to scripted events. Like when that scientist falls, the guard could be like “Oh hell no, I’m not going that way!” And then stay put. No need for new ladder-jumping animations! 
I think it make sense for them to stay there. I mean, I would not even consider trying to jump onto that ladder.
Erm, where have those textures come from?
HD pack.
Yeah well, some people are stupid, and you’d think he would already know about the ladders because he suggests that “WE can still climb.” So I would think that he would at least attempt to do what he suggested in the first place. Also I think that scientist climbed the same ladders but just couldn’t get the last one.
I think the scientist was in the elevator.
The top hatch to the elevator, IIRC, was closed. I don’t know about anyone else, but if I was trying to get out of the elevator, I wouldn’t close the hatch behind me… 
I know my theory is less believable, how could a scientist get that far, but it also makes more sense. Why would he be trying to get down? Why not just exit the doors? Anyway, on my idea, I always figured the security guards to be sort of macho.:3 Like that time a guard gets squashed by the tenticle in Blast Pit. I can’t speak for everyone, but I can definately pucture a guard trying to make a jump like that.
I like this idea, I think it would really add realism to the game (despite the game’s lack of a realistic plot, but that’s beside this particular point).
Did it need it’s own thread?
I think it would be best if he tells you to go first. Then when you’re on the ladder, and if you look back at him, he just runs away down the hall.

lol coward!
Maybe the Guards and Scientists should wait for Gordon to send down the elevator, whether he does or.
Also, office complex is in a desperate need of a climax.
…Wat?
He means :jizz:, clearly.
