Bullets go through walls?

[A.I.]

Ive been watching again this year's E3 presentation. In the coast scene when Gordon jumps out from the buggy and goes on foot I noticed a little something that wasn't mentioned before, I believe.

You probably all remember how Gordon during the firefight tosses back the grenade to the two combine with the manipulator. But just a few seconds before that, just when Gordon takes cover behind the wall I noticed that bullets went through the wall. But I'm not very sure about this because Gordon was shooting too and also hit that wall. Could anyone else confirm that?

with some materials the bullets can actually go thru them depending of the strength of the material and the bullet's force..

so i remember valve mentioning that you can shoot thru wood and some metal.. cause you know its physics like in farcry some of the wood stuffs can be shot through...

weeee this game will kick ass provided it comes out..

You could always mod it in like CS did.

 

[thefiznut]

This is true. It all depends on the materials and settings the map makers choose in Hammer.

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

the shots you see hit the wall is actually the guy up in the crane-catwalk(or whatever you would call it) shooting at Gordon from behind... it also happens after he climbs the ladder up to the two dead combine soldiers.

Yeah bullets will go through walls for sure. It's not too difficult to do and it's more realistic/fun.

Not through walls but through windows works.

Hi Rick,

In HL2 can walls/objects be shot through?

thanks a lot, and keep up the good work!

[CrazyHarij]

Woo, way to go Six Three

 

[dassbaba]

bullets go through walls, like in real life

the gaming trend: if we can do it with this new technology lets do it

 

[CrazyHarij]

But like I said, I doubt it's hard to mod it in.

 

[thefiznut]

I could have swore I sa'w in one of Gabe's interviews that whether bullets pass through materials depends on the material of the object. Sure Rick knows what he's talking about? Anyhow, like ^^ said, it could easily be modded in.

 

[ailevation]

:x It would be cool if you could shoot through all materials in the right manner, just like STALKER. I think that shooting through objects is a big plus, for realism as well as for in-game tactic.

I sure hope that CS:source has realistic wall characteristics.Bullets travelling through 3ft concrete walls wouldn't be very realistic!

The shooting through walls has always bothered me while playing CS,also real wall characteristics would make wallhacking less advantageous than it has been in HL1

Even a bullet travelling through a comparably soft material like sheetrock,2X4 studded walls,or corrugated tin would have it's trajectory altered significantly and the bullet would lose much of it's stopping power.Then if the potential victim on the other side of the wall is wearing Kevlar even less damage should occur.

A little bit of shooting through walls(that are softer than concrete!) is alright.As long as it's done in a realistic or semi-realistic way (degraded accuracy and damage)

The same goes for Fragmentation(HE in CS) grenades.Grenade fragments should behave more like the bullets in CS(one hit kill sometimes).The effective casualty-producing radius should be around 15 meters with a kill radius of 5 meters.I'd like to see the HE grenade in CS:source Kill if it's close.

also I'd like to see the grenade deaths produce missing limbs with cartwheeling torso's

My 2 cents from 4-5 yrs of CS'ing

And neither do you, nor I for that matter.

Sorry, I'll go back on topic.

I wonder if you'll be able to adjust what kind of walls can be penetrated and such, and how long the bullets are allowed to penetrate.

Sorry for going OT but I think he was talking about the programs that surf the net looking for the @ sign.... and spam the address...thats why people should usally do like

That's why I used a fake addy.

 

[Impulse147]

he asked rick if it went through walls, rick could've thought that he was talking about concrete or steel walls, not wooden walls.
