The real reason Valve is giving Blue Shift for free.

I loved Blue Shift, just too damn short.

I especially liked the intro sequence where you are in the elevator falling down the shaft. That was intense.

They were armed with MP-5s because before the USMC (Uncle Sam's Migrating Chimpanzees) adoted the M4A1 as their close quater combat weapon they used the MP-5 (The chage, in my opionion, was a bad move). One thing I didn't like about the MP-5 was that it had a 'nade launcher on it because it's just silly (ok, so you could possibly get a GP-25/30 on it but that would reqire big modifications and russain "caseless" grenades).

I think they should have armed the marines with the Colt mod .635 SMG (which the USMC also used) because that would be much easier to mount an M203A2. Also, it still uses the 9x19 Para that the MP-5 and Glock use. It felt weird having an M4 using the same ammo as the 9mm pistol (I would say Barreta 92F but i'm not shure about exactly what they used to replace the glock in the HDP)

Heh. I like the USMC acronymn.

Sorry guys but those who liked it I disagree.Blue Shift was pure Bull Shit.
GearBox sucks.

Snarks seemed to be the only "improvement' along with Dr. Rosenburg.The shotgun sounded like shit.

The M4 was gay.It made the pistol seem good.It was even weaker than the MP5!

The levels weren't even fun.Sorry guys flame if you want.

But IMO VALVe made a bad choice on releasing this expansion.Decay was actually better.

Edit:I forgot to mention.Otis was the shit!

There was a change in damage?

Just try a quick play of it.I have noticed that damage hasn't been as highly dealT as the MP5.

Pay more attention

Better than it not being realesed.

!

[piibii]

They didn't. A single shot from the MP5 was weaker than single shot from the Glock in the original too.

Just check the skill.cfg file:

sk_plr_9mm_bullet1 "8"
sk_plr_9mmAR_bullet1 "5"

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

They changed the damage?

No. Riomhaire just stated that it didn't.

I also noticed they used the Hi-Def pack in the PS2 version of HL 1.

It just seemed weaker to me I guess because it just didn't feel the same.And why did it use Glock ammo?

 

[kupocake]

The PS2 version of HL1 has a different HD pack though... without that ghastly G-Man model for starters.

Ah yes.

Ohhh that made me shudder.
