Does a swung flashlight… unveil… wartal… What?
What the hell are you on about?
He’s saying “vortal” like Pavel Chekov.
flashlight revealing textures on the vorts - derp
then it have to be that he tried to say!
The englash exploded has just language
I think it would be cool if the Security Guards asked the Scientist for some medical attention. Like the HECU Marines will, except in their on Barneyish way. I mean hell, if the scientist aren’t going to use guns, they should be useful for something, right?
For a time they had the scientists healing security guards, but it was removed due to scientists commonly getting in the players way to heal your other companions.
Ah damn, that’s a shame. I wish they kept that, it’d be more like the HL2 rebel squad.
“Get out of my face!”
“I’ll get inside your face!”
So, the scientists won’t heal you any more? That’s a shame because sometimes I relied on them to heal me partially if there were no health stations present. Yes, I’m a sucky player sometimes.
Whoops. Misread. Silly me.
Somehow that phrasing carries unfortunate implications… 
Will the Scientist in Black Mesa be able to defend themselves even remotely?
Because i was just wondering when i saw this concept art from another BM page
https://www.moddb.com/mods/operation-black-mesa
Seeing one Scientist in the picture begun to defend herself by taking a guards vest and pistol. That would make the game really fun and realistic.
No, and thats not another BM page, thats a completely different mod all together.
1- That is NOT black mesa. It’s opperation black mesa by another mod team and it’s Oppossing force in source, not hl1.
2-Read the wiki a little bit boy, the scientist will never NEVER use a weapon or defend themselves.
3-I don’t see why it would make it fun, I mean, yeah, pretty realistic and all that crap but fun? if you shoot him by accident he will go on rage and shoot you into your eyes!
Is there no way for you guys to set it up so they prioritize “I DON’T WANT TO DIE!” so that they will only heal others outside of combat. They don’t have to be field medics, but it would be a great help to revitalize friendly combatants before the next fire fight. Oh yeah, I just thought of something: If the scientists won’t heal anyone but you, then can the npcs (Security Guards preferably) pick up health packs like the citizens? I know the Devs are always stressing how they are not like citizens, but can they at least do that?
^ I don’t think so. After all they only know 3 things:
-Shoot
-Die
-And own beers to you.
owe beers.
try whisky me boy
What about interaction?
Are the scientists and guards going to have random conversations like in HL1? I remember there was a cut event from the game when one of the guards was blaming a scientist for the disaster and was getting ready to beat the s*** out of him. That struck me as very “Mist”-like (which is itself one of Valve’s inspirations for HL). Will we see anything like that? Or maybe the soldiers interrogating the scientists?
