I want to add the Ice Axe, Stun Stick, Fire Extinguisher, Binoculars, Manhack, Thumper, Rollerwand, Flare Gun, MP5KA4 SMG, AK-47, Good Modeled Alyxgun, XM29 Objective Individual Combat Weapon, Heavy Machine Gun, Sniper Rifle, Incendiary Rifle, Gauss Gun, Combine Guard Gun, Molotoc, SLAM, Sticky Launcher, Hopwire, Cremator Head, Immolator and the Headcrab. I really want to try these weapons, please teach me how to add them. Without using SDK, VERC Tutorials and all...thanks...:)
 
Without the SDK you will not be able to use them.

There is a mod that added most of them in. I forgot its name.
 
The best thing to do is download Missing Information and add the models/sounds/scripts to the HL2 Folder.

Good lord, I never realized that there were so many weapons that didn't make the cut. :O

Are you sure this works? Then what about the console, do you need to add commands or something to it?
 
Download Missing Information and put it in the mod folder and it should appear on steam.

After reading through this post I became convinced that Valve crippled HL2 final version.

If the weapons are fun, good, and well balanced with eachother, (and if it makes sense to have a lot, which it would in such a universe as HL2) then yes, more weapons would make it better. You can't tell me you didn't get atleast a little bored of the SMG. I mean don't get me wrong, I love the MP7, but it would be awesome if we had a whole slew of weapons to keep things interesting and realistic.
 
well maybe if by finishing HL2 you could replay the game with the alternatives as an unlockable bonus might have worked
but too many weapons is a major problem in too many FPSs - HL1 comes to mind

:O Heathen! Name one weapon that wasn't awesome or unnecessary. They were all useful and fun.

Hilarious stuff :laugh:

All those weapons, some mostly useless - cramped into the game, without gameplay scenarios worthy of utilizing most of them? How can you say they crippled the game because you've seen a weapon list? I mean seriously, what planet do you live on? Uranus? You don't know what they do. And I know for a fact had HL2 had all those weapons in that it would be you complaining about how cramped the game was weapon wise. Man. You people piss me off.

You cannot balance that amount of weapons. I loved using the MP7 - alot of people didn't, but I dunno...I think it looks good and it's fun to use, but only in the Coast section. That's the only time I used it. More weapons do not equal realism. I honestly didn't see a need for any more weapons.
 
In my opinion, they should have kept the Gauss Gun. It's just a HL Classic. The Beta Gauss had no issues or bugs as far as I know.

Also, the Hopwire. A grenade that hops up, shoots wires, and explodes when you walk through them? Who has done that before?
 
I'm pretty sure Valve had logical reasons for not including them in the final game.
 
It not actually being that good? That was probably a big reason.

I love these people aswell Samon, ZOMG I TOTALLY WANTED LIKE 7 VARIATIONS OF THE CROWBAR BUT IT JUST FIRES A LITTLE BIT FASTER! **** YOU VALVE YOU RUINED YOUR GAME BY ME PLAYING A NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LEAKED BUILD!

You look at that weapon list and most of them are just variations on the weapons we already have.

Hmm, perhaps through the first couple times through, extra weapons aren't necessary. But now that I'm through the game and comfortable with all the weapons, I just have an urge for more :D I would LOVE to see some of the weapons they cut in the game having already played it normally. You've got to agree, it would be fun to play around with those. SMOD and HL2 Substance did a great job in adding some more to our armory, but I could really go for some Valve quality weapons as a small side project or something.

I'm having a good day. I took a differnent look today, 4 girls said I was hot, 10 said I looked cute and I got a cell phone.


There are some nice weapons they didn't include(Missing Information Mod) but they just wouldn't fit with the game. Maybe for some extra multiplayer weapons I guess why not? But hey i'm happy.

I have already downloaded Missing Information and added the models, sounds and scripts to my HL2 Folder. But, when I tried to type the weapon name (e.g. give weapon_gauss) nothing happened. What should I really do now...
 
You can't just copy and paste bits from mods and expect them to work.
 
uum, wouldnt that be against the Law anyway? (adding beta stuff I mean)
If not, woot!
*downloads*
 
I would've liked the OICW but I didn't exactly miss it. Another SMG would've been nice but nothing necessary. On the whole, I'm with Samon on this one.

Yeah, I was. But Substance was really quite meh. :p
I dunno. I've used most of them and none are really that special.
 
I think a ak 47 whould have been gold in half life. It's a revolution gun! You don't have revolutions without AKs.
 
I played the missing information mod, the weapons don't need to be in the game, think about it, what massive gameplay point does it add to have 5 variations of a machine gun or crowbar, and the things like the fire extinguisher and I-rifle were test weapons anyway.

I wish everyone would stop acting like they've been cheated out of something.

AK has been done to death already. You see it everywhere. Having in HL2 would be extremely uncreative, and CS nuts may not be eh... very happy with it (they're nuts).
 
I really think the 'experimental weapon' category should have remained with the gauss and hopwire (or something unique like that).
 
Some of those weapons from beta were pointless, but i agree some SHOULD have made it in.
 
i dunno whats wrong with this mod, but whever i install it, it never shows up in my steam games, nor does it even appear in my sourcemod folder

HL2 does - because HL2 isn't generic enough to stoop to that level.

Name some, purlease. And why they should have been in.
 
OK, Samon.

Gauss - Reflects off walls in primary, and shoots through walls in secondary. Very useful, unique and skill-based.

OICW - teh nightvision scope!!!

Flamethrower - Brilliant in close combat, and could look stunning.
 
Flamethrower: Could look stunning, but overall, where would it be used? And besides, there was never a flamethrower going to be included. :p

Gauss: Maybe.

OICW: Program was scrapped in real life by the military and overall it was a pretty dull gun to shoot with.
