Smart Citizens

[Acphonehome]

In the first Half-Life, Gordon's co-workers were just stupid. They were slow, fat, scared to come along with you, and sucked at aiming. One could shoot them in the head, grab their ammo and benefit more than having them helping you.

I was reading a post 5 minutes ago about pwn-ing citizens of City-17. Then it occured to me. In HL2, will citizens be able to do more than they did in the original? If you shoot one of their friends, will they all start shooting you as well as the aliens? Can they aim?

Thankyou,

They will have allowances for friendly fire, but yea, targeting the citizens = more bad guys...

we've seen in the videos, from both e3's, that we will be working in teams with the citizens, and im sure valve have done a great job of making them smart and enjoyable to use.

Thanks. And when I run out of ammo, I'll just turn to my friends

Have you not seen any videos? The citizens kick arse.

The AI is very good with them, they be aware of your doings. They will refuse an order. They will abandon you. They will do anything you would expect rebels of the Combine overlord would.

Edit: Acphonehome, Citizens will be able to give you weapons or ammo. Or heal you. You will be able to do the same to them.

Valve really has thought of everything. Anything you want to do, you can.

Trust Valve.

Hey, I bet the same thing would happen if we figured out the world was going to end soon. Would be one crazy ass party

They did in HL so...

 

[ne0_shiny]

do you think they would use cover when shooting you
or just shoot....

Hmm... Wasn't Barney a good shooter in HL? I remember using him as my sniper, as he could shoot very impressively over long distances. I don't get people who just shoot them. It seems you can't hack morale. :hmph:

Are you kidding me? Barney's were excellent fighters, I just tested it, 7 barney's vs 7 marines. Score? 7 kills without losing a single barney.
That's a better result than a human could get with a non-explosive weapon.
