HL2 Weapons

they are all amazing. get some taste u massive fucking faggot

>>389614403
They're still better than HL1's (save for the pistol, of course).
>that shotgun with no kick
>that assault rifle with waggle recoil that sounds like a rattling trashcan
>that hollowed-out koosh ball of a grenade

Being generally weak (takes almost half an SMG mag just to kill a combine soldier) and very inaccurate.

Also they let you hold barely any extra ammo (2 or 3 extra clips at most) and combined with the fact that it takes so much ammo to kill something in the first place, it means if they aren't actively feeding you ammo for a weapon you're not going to use it.

It makes the weapons very unreliable and also hard to avoid damage since most of the enemies use hitscan weapons and you can't really kill them fast enough to keep them from shooting you.

There really isn't a FPS that is considered to have good "gunplay" that has generally weak, short range inaccurate weapons like HL 1/2 do.

The fuck are you talking about, pulse rifle felt amazing

I'm still amazed at how...peculiar the AR2 viewmodel's texture is. And by that I mean holy fucking shit Valve what in the name of fuck were you thinking?

>>389614403
I liked using the bugbait. Still don't know why they leave it in your inventory after the prison section.

>>389615318
>(2 or 3 extra clips at most
wut?? Learn to aim to the head.
Not to mention you got an unlimited stash of SMG ammo during the buggy section.

>>389615446
it's Ayylmao technology. No need to explain shit.

>>389615561
it becomes a stress ball later on

Poor sound effects like you said, but also probably the fact that enemies don't react to getting hit. They just take it until their HP reaches 0 and then collapse into a ragdoll.

AND THEY AGREE WITH ME THAT YOU HAVE


LIMITLESS...
POTENTIAL....

op is a faggot, the pulse rifle is sick and gravity gun on its own sets the game apart

git gud and learn to have some fun

>>389615446
That IS a totally fucked up way to texture it.
Also, the "reloading" still bothers me. I know it's because the model is reused from the cut incendiary gun, but still.

>>389616151
There's this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YybFx8JgNCg

How in the flying motherfuck do they even render this onto the model? I'm so confused... Who made this? Why?

the 'muh tactical' ruins that entire project. i would rather have the decent gunplay of hl2 than wait 200 years to reload your peashooter simulator

I can't imagine not being able to appreciate a crossbow that nails enemies to walls with rods of searing hot metal

>>389618981
The crossbow is the most satisfying game in HL2. If someone thinks otherwise they are objectively wrong.
Only shotgun can compete.

crossbow/shotgun was the GOAT pairing.

If you don't agree get out of my fucking face and git gud. That crossbow sound was sweet.

>>389620332
>weapon that excels at close range + weapon that excels at long range
gee I wonder how we have the same opinion

>>389614403

The revolver was great, too bad they didn't give you any ammo for it though.

>>389620332
*ptsew chkkk tzzzz*

>>389620587
well yeah, there's other long and short range options available too so stop pissing on my parade

>>389620851
I will empty my bladder and bowels where I please
Pray that it coincides with the same locations you empty yours

>>389614403
>The Crossbow is shit

you take that back, cunt, the HL2 Crossbow is one of the most satisfying weapons to use in any video game ever.

The AR3 is better than all of those guns combined

>he doesn't like cotton eye joe

OP confirmed for faggot

>>389617943
>>389619586

its most likely the texture for the view model, not the world model

What sound does the crossbow make?I leaning towards *FFN*

>>389622191
eh reh

>>389621882
>Kill 199
And I thought the old one with the hangtime of 2.5 seconds was impressive.
That's just showing off now

>>389621962
That's still a fucking backwards ass way to texture it, regardless.

>>389614403
The pistol, the rocket launcher and the revolver were all fine. The weird alien rifle thing might have been cool but lol @ ever having ammo for it.

>>389614403
What the fuck are you on about? The whole HL2 arsenal was hell of fun to use. except the pistol, which I'm almost 100% sure was intentional to make the other weapons even better. HL1's weapons were much worse.

>>389622191
*wuddd*

>>389621962
if you view the viewmodel from the side it's skewed as fuck

>>389622752
you cant view it from any other angle, unless you look at the model in a model viewer, but that does not matter to a game dev

>>389618661
Whatever you say

>>389614403
Some of the Beta weapons should have stayed

OICW was satisfying as hell to use & the sounds had some serious weight to them

>>389614403
>The Crossbow is shit
End yourself

>>389622654
>HL1's weapons were much worse.
HL1 had a much better selection. Lots of HL2 weapons were only there because they were also in HL1 but most of the good stuff got cut.

>>389615446
What the fuck. How does this work? Does the view model not move at all so you don't notice obvious parallax issues?

Although I guess this isn't too surprising considering the view model for the HL1 submachine gun is like two floating cylinders.

>>389623728
Selection wise, sure HL1 was a lot more diverse. But the few weapons present in HL2 are much more satisfying to use. I found zero satisfaction in the snarks, gauss gun, or the tripmines (because let's face it, the tripmines were built for deathmatch, you most likely never end up using them in normal gameplay)

no, it does not move that much

>AR2
>shotgun
Literally the only guns I used unless I forced to switch to progress. Ammo was plentiful and anything else was outperformed by those two.

>>389622191
THNN
CHKTZZZZZZZZZZZ

>>389614403
HL2 weapons are shit because Valve didn't take lessons from all the other FPS games released after HL1 with better gunplay and they wanted you to use the gravity gun

>The pistol was OK but the glock from the original Half-Life was much more enjoyable to use
Agreed, still a great peashooter for the bountiful ammo and great accuracy though.
>The SMG feels like it shoots pieces of corn
It's meant to be shit, underpowered and inaccurate or else it's all you'd use.
>The shotgun is too quiet to be fun
Never had this problem, turn up the volume or mod the sounds.
>The Crossbow is shit
It kills practically everything in one hit and does cool ragdoll things, what more could you want?
>The rocket launcher feels too light..
The RPG is great, guiding missiles is the only fun part about Strider fights.
>Magnum and maybe the AR2
So use those? Weapon ammo crates are dynamic so the more you use them the more ammo you'll find, not enough to use them all the time but that'd be boring.

>doesn't mention the Gravgun
I'm not going to say Valve made the other guns less fun so you'd use the Gravgun more, but it is genuinely fun to use and every gun in the game is designed with the player rotating guns in mind.

>>389625390
Plenty of games with better obviously superior gunplay existed before HL1.

I mean even in 1993 Doom knew hitscan bullet sponges were a no-no.

What about this guy?

>>389625993
A shitty boss, but at least they give you a big pillar to avoid him with and he dies in like 2 bfg shots

>>389614403
>Crossbow is shit
No.
>>389615446
wait

what?

>>389620587
Both crossbow and shotgun excel at short range. Crossbow is also good at medium, though. Crossbow is essentially shotgun++, they even occupy the same slot.

>>389626347
The crossbow also takes up the same slot in HL1 you fucking troglodyte. It doesn't make the weapon bad in either of the games.

>>389626445
>It doesn't make the weapon bad
Did I say it's bad? It's a better shotgun, and shotgun is very good to begin with.

>>389614403
>Crossbow is shit
opinion discarded

>>389624571
Snarks are very situational but really useful if you need to clear out a room. Gauss Gun can instakill hgrunts and isn't as ammo restricted as the Crossbow. and 357. Tripmines were good for assassins or abusing the fact that you can stand on them to skip stuff.

>>389624571
Tripmines are good in Black Mesa because grunts are very aggressive and dangerous. In OG HL1 I got a giggle of placing them on agrunt barrels in Interloper and blowing up lots of them at once.

>>389626765
Crossbow and .357 are very much not ammo restricted in original HL1.

>>389626765
I use the tripmines to skip big sections of on a rail as it's my least favorite chapter, after interloper that is. Anyone have a hl1 or 2 chapter they hate?

>>389626923
Xbow isn't, in later chapters but you really don't get much magnum ammo. I literally just finished through hl1 again the other day.

>>389626965
i hate the opening, not because its bad but because it takes so long to get to actual gameplay so the replayability tanks. i also hate the part with the airboat, they should've added a radio or something to keep the player entertained.

>>389627146
>you really don't get much magnum ammo
That's weird, I'm pretty sure you do, I always had 20-ish and in some places I even topped it off, the max is 40-something rounds. Did you shoot HECUs in the head? One shot vs. two body shots, at least on Hard.

Gauss only gives you 100 ammo and IIRC default attack takes 2 units per shot? Charge is more, obviously. I never really used it vs. grunts. It's good against helis, though.

>>389626660
It plays fun but the model is meh and the sound is sorta puny.
