HL2 Hard Mode is more like "Easy Mode" for me....

I find "hard mode" so easy I am constantly double-checking the settings to make sure it is indeed in hard mode... Is there a console command to increase the level of difficulty?

Sorry if this has been posted before. I used the search feature and found nothing useful. Thanks.
 
Yes HL2 is way too easy. I need to find a mod that makes it harder but doesn't go too overboard (I played a mod where even in the citadel where you had 100 hp and 200 hev you would die in 3 shots!)
 
I dunno, something like npc_combine_health = 9999999999999
npc_combine_weapon_smg1_damage = 999999999999
player_health = 1
?

In HL 1 i believe the command began with 'sk' but i cant remember, just remember giving the scientists uber health. And my pistol one shot kill, even for the osprey.
 
Try playing with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears and use your nose to control the mouse and keyboard.
 
root\hl2\cfg in the source engine.gfc

Find the "skill.cfg", change it from there.
 
Do what i did to make the game harder, play it with your feet.

i searched my whole harddrive and was unable to find a skill.cfg file, much less a root folder. could you be more specific because I wouldn't mind messing around with the difficulty.

All you are doing in changing the in game easy(1), normal(2), hard(3) options.

*isn't an imbecile*

I hate doing that, as it forces me to reload the script every load.
 
I don't think there is a "skill.cfg". I remember reading somewhere that HL2's diffiuculty was based on percents, ie the player deals 150% damage on easy, but only deals 75% damage on hard.
