This Weapon on That Enemy

Half-Life Series
#21

To say that they’re ineffective against Agrunts is a lie too. The hornets they shoot seem to have markedly worse cornering abilities than the one Freeman has, making shootouts pretty unfair.

#22

shotgun on everything that moves

#23

shotgun on zombies,Agrunts,headcrabs,bullsquids and cockroaches
smg on HECU’s,Houndeyes and scientist
magnum on vortigaunts
Hivehand on Controllers
grenades on enemies that are dangerously close to propane tanks.

#24

I use the mp5 for grunts and the pistol for just about every thing else, cause I ammo hoard like you wouldn’t belive. hive hand was awsome cause I didn’t have to use ANY ammo on 1v1 1v2 encounters.

#25

So, did anyone actually use the Displacer weapon’s primary fire on OpFor instead of the secondary (teleportation)?

#26

I think I did, but only because I didn’t realize at first that it HAD a secondary fire, but it was so slow that it really wasn’t terribly useful for anything.

Fun thing to learn: Whoever designed the effect that the shockroach has when underwater is an asshole.

#27

Well, it’s simple logic. Water always conducts electricity, whether by organic or mechanical things.

#28

I used it in three main spots.

First and second, the vortigore dens.

Third, at the beginning of World’s Collide in the warehouse versus the Black Ops.

#29

crowbar everything

(yes I use cheats and have no life I killed a copter with a crowbar so I’m happy)

EDIT/fact

my brother figured out my password and started a topic and posted this the only problem with this post is it is what i would say but i have never taken out a chopper with a crowbar i final figured out how to spell chopper.

Why would you waste magnum ammo on vortigaunts? Much more efficient to use the Hivehand or Shotgun.

#31

Shock Roach is better than the hivehand in that it’s electric and it actually kills things.

#32

But its recharge time is painfully slow.

#33

Pistol or shotgun on vorts, definitely, sometimes hivehand. Magnum on alien grunts mainly.

Shockroach cannot shoot around corners or hit moving targets at long distances…but versus Black Ops 8 jolts will kill the Op who kindly stands still shooting at you and barely, if ever, hitting. Kind of sad how easy it is to kill the Black Ops a few at a time who fire at range with their inaccurate guns and your shockroach hits dead on.

#34

because I love overkill :smiley:

#35

Shockroach is awesome. It can hit at long distances or moving targets if you know how to aim well and lead your target. The underwater effect is fantastic in multiplayer, where you could stand the chance of taking out two or more nearby swimming enemies.

When it comes to any weapon-enemy preference, my primary love is using the .357 Magnum against Alien Controllers. (But only if I have a crosshair better than the default impossible-to-see dot…)

#36

When I feel dangerous, I use the hand-mounted Barnacle to take out Shock Troopers. But in OpFor, the Spore Launcher definately was my most useful weapon.

#37

I just shotgun the shit out of everything… and ofcourse the ol’ 357’ > every enemy ingame
and Crowbar > Nihilanth!!

#38

I agree with Aze:SHOTGUN FTW(and gore[/SIZE])

#39

I used the Hive Hand for the entire Nihilanth battle…Cause I wasted all my other ammunition somehow!

#40

pistol has always been my fave. I am a pistol guy.
