Do bear in mind that the MP-5 is well known for it’s reliability and accuracy, so I’m pretty sure it’s the gun for all seasons for the HECU. That said, I personally would have outfitted the top-side crews with Mk. 17 SCAR-H weapons for the added standoff distance and heavier caliber round. Plus, it requires less cleaning than the M4.
I prefer the one they are using now as its the one I suggested they use 3 years ago 
also, with Freeman firing from the hip, red dot sights seem redundant
Meh either way its a visual now, but take the military being there for A good enough reason to add a sight to a weapon, red dot is good for black mesa besides from my understanding its a hybridization of fire from the hip and looking down the sights does something to your eyes to where you dont have to exactly cuddle up next to your gun to aim properly, kinda like putting sunglasses up to 1 eye and leaving the other exposed, from my understanding.
The new one, it stays true to the original.
It is my understanding that he holds it at about shoulder level, he just doesn’t use the sites because the HEV Suit has a targeting system.
you and I are on entirely different conversations.
But while im at it, moving towards your converstation for a minute, I have No fucking idea how in the world he has a targeting system actually helping him since he doesnt have a helmet or anything else on to display it for him, I’m gonna say he doesn’t use a targeting system unless the officials of the game come out and say his glasses are designed to be used with the Hev suit and thus have displays on them
I concur.
The HUD is shown the same way that it monitors his vital signs, blood oxygen levels, etc.
It’s connected to his body, and there’s probably some kind of plug in that goes into the base of his spine and connects to his central nervous system - this same connection would allow the hud to appear without a helmet.
or, you know, it’s a gameplay device
Id rather have a helmet or some high tech glasses. Because Usually if something connects to a spine or nervous system for that, its most likely gonna be a One time Plug and keep, and if it gets damaged well…
rather safe then sorry im gonna choose face mounted hud equipment or nothing at all.
he uses the power of science to aim, he has a phd in theoretical physics you know
Dead Space RIG, YEAH!!
I’m sick of M4s & MP5s. In fact I’m sick of the real-world guns from pretty much every valve game. It’s boring seeing the same guns in pretty much every game that isn’t hard sci-fi.
Well there are only so many guns in existence, and out of them an even smaller number are often used. HL already breaks that rule with Mk 2 grenades and SPAS-12 shotguns.
No, please, not UMPs!
Any SMG BUT UMPs!
yes.
no
me too.
me neither.
M4.
I don’t know why everyone hates it. The problem with the MP5 is that it looked weak and underpowered in the original half life, but the fact that they’re not going to use it in the mod means that they tried to make the MP5 look really good, which makes it look a bit better I guess.
Nobody really hates it per-say. The reason it’s not being added is because it would just be extra work for no real gain. And besides that, it’s pretty much guaranteed that some modder will add one in anyway. And I don’t know why you say the MP5 felt weak, I thought it was fine, strong even. Statistically they aren’t much different, but compared to the Combine MP7 from HL2, the MP5 felt so much stronger to me.
Oh
