Security guards

Yeah, about that. Why the hell does a research facility have shotguns and granades, and roof-mounted canons, wich will shoot anything in its fire range?

because it’s a semi-decommisioned/shared military base. Plus it makes for great gameplay.

I dunno how easy that would be to implement, but it is an interesting idea.

I didnt know that.

Yeah, that’s why they have the apache in the beginning, the baracks in surface tension, and the missile silos (you see at least 2 - one in On A Rail and one in Blast Pit)

Very easy, if the guards are really using the rebel AI, as I have been led to believe. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I thought they shot anything in their range because they had been taken over by the military. Also the facility is some what of a secret. So anything being researched there would probably be worth defending. Guns, grenades, and robots seem like good defense measures to me.

Yeah, the AI side of things wouldn’t be too hard, but what about animating?

Seems like a sound idea. They’d give you a clip if you were running low on ammo in the same way that some scientists inject you with ‘Morphine’ when you’re low on health.

Yeah, but why would they think a physicist would be a better shooter then them? Gordon cant tell them…

Because he has bigger guns and a goddamn crowbar.

And he’s obviously good at killing shit. Plus he has freakin’ power armor. I don’t care what you say, an HEV suit is armor that’s powered.

Killing Shit? How is that possabel?

because it’s a fucking game.

I don’t know, but i don’t think that normal security guards are trained to handle mp5’s, grenades etc…(I don’t know if it requires training either, just guessing)

Anyway who cares, the game is designed to be fun, not realistic.

The Javid: Is that you in your avatar?

Gordon is one of the few scientists in Black Mesa, who are trained for hazardous conditions by spending many hours in the Hazard Course (which includes a firing range).

Have you ever played the Hazard Course?

And grenades are pretty self explanatory.

I have played the hazard course and i don’t think security guards train in the hazard course. Only scientists like gordon that uses the hev suit.

XTJ: Wow! You spent countless hours in the hazard course, it only took me a couple of minutes, sorry couldnt resist.

Well, i guess everyone who works in Mexico needs to learn how to throw granades.

Whether or not BS is canon, if HEV scientists train with MP5s, it would stand to reason that Guards do too.

:fffuuu:

what do you mean by ‘normal’ security guards?
And if Jeremy Clarkson can handle MP5, why security guard cannot?
