What if it becomes another sequel?
downloaded HL, BS and OF on the weekend. couldnt help but laugh everytime i threw a grenade.
Referring to the floaty-gravity on grenades, I’m guessing?

I don’t know if I like HL2’s grenade physics any more. In HL2 it seemed every grenade you throw ends up rolling right past anything you’re trying to hit. At least that’s what it seemed like to me. It worked if there was a wall right behind the enemy but not very well if there wasn’t.
True, but that’s partly just how the grenades were shaped, they were like capsules. It seems the Combine aren’t very good at designing weapons. I’m sure BM’s grenades will be more like, well, grenades nowadays.
No way this thing will roll after it lands on a hard surface. Nope. None at all.
If BM is still using MK II grenades (haven’t seen any recent grenade related media) then they’ll have a better chance of coming to a stop sooner than the M67.
I’m sorry, I really want to respect people who say “Yeah I’m just gonna wait for BM cause omg HL1 is just sooo outdated!!!” but I just cannot.
I made a buddy of mine play Deus Ex 1 and HL1&2 a while back, and he quit all of them after an hour or so and said “I just can’t appreciate these, their level design is just so outdated and it looks so bad!”
If he was 13 years old I wouldn’t care but hes fucking 28. This is definitely a pet peeve of mine, drives me fucking nuts. Especially since most “outdated” games are far superior to the bullshit released nowadays.
TL: DR Play and respect the original before BM!
Level design in HL1 was (and still is!) completely awesome. I play through it every once in a while and it’s showing its age (such as in “Inbound” when you see a scientist running for a departing tram and missing it, his legs slide around on the ground as the body model turns, etc) but, really, I can’t find a single complaint I can make about HL1.
Except maybe ladders.
Amen!
Yeah. Ladders really were a nightmare. Luckily they learned from that in hl2.
Still worth a playthrough, though… or 10 =]
I think you forgot a few zeros. :3
Just play HL. Play them ALL again! Every once in a while, I’ll just play one of my favorite maps.
I’ll just say imo any rolling is unacceptable.
As far as gameplay goes, unless you crouch alt fire , it would be nice if it treated any surface like anything thrown would treat sand and basically stop right where it hits, or very close to where it hits.
But that’s not going to happen.
I honestly don’t usually have much trouble with HL2’s grenades. Of course, I sometimes pluck them out of the air as soon as I release them and toss them like a prop_physics, which makes them go not as far, which might have something to do with it.
I don’t mind some rolling but the HL2 grenades always seemed to roll like 50 feet past whatever I was aiming to hit. It might not be entirely the physics’ fault, maybe Gordon just chucks them really hard.
you should play Half-life. Heck I just beat it and now I’m playing it again!
Lol I know I’ve played it over 50 times :rolleyes:
Rolling grenades underhanded would be pretty shitty if they just dropped straight to the ground. Rolling is good, it’s the throw-force that’s excessive. Not helped by the lack of cooking.
not enough time and to many pie’s, haven’t got to touch HL where i left it a week ago. bloody SC5 taking up my time
