Weapon Changes

[TonicBH]

Ok, in HL1 (minus Gearbox's HD pack), the weapons were a Glock, an MP5, etc.

But in HL2, the Glock's replaced with a USP Match, the MP5 replaced with an MP7-PDW...

...Why the mysterious changes in weaponry?

That's something that I never quite understood.

hmmmmmmmmm...thats a toughy! Maybe its because its a completely different timeline, setting, and condition?

oh and I forgot: Its a completely different Game

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

OMG! Sarcasm!

 

[Lucifer Crass]

Old weapons sux, new ones pwn.
Crowbar = Pwn
Glock = Never Liked it
Mp5/Nade launcher = What game doesnt have something like this
Rocket Launcher = Nade Launcher that burns people (Cuzz rockets are boring already)
Nade = Good ol'e nades
357. = I hope its back!!
Snarks = Pheoromone Nade (o well)
Gauss Rifle = Dunno
Orange Charge Lazer Rifle = Dunno either

Sweet Dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree
I traveled the world and Seven Seas
Everybodys looking for something

THE FUTURE IS FORSAKEN THE FUTURE IS FORSAKEN THE FUTURE IS FORSAKEN THE FUTURE IS FORSAKEN OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

 

[Axyon]

Different weapons gives more variety than having exactly the same loadout as the original games. I, among others, want to play with a new range of shootsticks.

OMG! Sarcasm!

*sarcasm detector: on * I see no sarcasm here! *sarcasm detector: off *

Orange Charge Lazer Rifle = Dunno either

You mean the Manipulator?

 

[Lucifer Crass]

You mean the Manipulator?

Nein, the one where barney and the scientist are playing with it and then the scientist is like "dont let it overcharge" And barney is like "What do u mean overcharge?" and then they both die.

THE TAU CANNON!! THats it!!

The Gauss.

 

[slicktick]

I would guess that you are somewhere else, so maybe they have diffrent weapons... because not everyone has the same taste as the People who worked at Black Mesa

 

[Brian Damage]

That's the Gauss Gun.

Whoops, late.

Anyway, it seems to be attatched to the buggy this time around... we'll have to see if there's a standalone version...

I want to know what happened to the awesome Gluon Gun...

here here!

 

[Brian Damage]

Is a properly calibrated <RJMC> supposed to do that?

 

[clarky003]

are they weapons of circumstance.. random , for realisim, afterall Doc Kleiner's hardly gonna keep Gordon's old arsnal in a cupboard. I guess valve just randomly played around with the weapons and appearance, and chose the ones that look the coolest. and designed cooler looking Sci-fi weapons

 

[<RJMC>]

what say about me?

 

[Brian Damage]

I was joking say about you.

 

[AcousticToad]

Tau cannon, Gauss gun, Spinney elctro beam of doom...Sames goes for the gluon gun/egon/hoover/spinning whirley blueish beam of hell.

I would think, a little guess here, that the RPG would be replaced by, well, the RPG!! The one from under that apc thing in one of the vids.

 

[Axyon]

Well, the shotgun's still there, except it actually looks like a SPAS-12 now.

Well, the shotgun's still there, except it actually looks like a SPAS-12 now.

no game would be complete without a shotty...

 

[EVIL]

Well, the shotgun's still there, except it actually looks like a SPAS-12 now.

it is the SPAS-12.. and I like the minor weapon changes.. after all.. the glock and MP5 are over used in shooters.

 

[Axyon]

Well that's what I meant, it was meant to be a SPAS-12 in Half-Life, just looked very little like it (as did the mp5)

 

[Rossell]

The High Def has truly messed up everything when it comes to weapons.

The best example is the shotgun. Normal SPAS shotgun thing I cant recognise in HL1. Then the SPAS-12 (it should be 8 I suppose )

Half-Life 2 - enhanced unrecognisable shotgun from HL1.

 

[63]

I hate the glock...usp for me!

that wasnt a RPG.

RPG's arent lazer guided.

 

[Brian Damage]

Well, a lot of the other weapons weren't particularly realistic either, Dougy.

The projectiles for it sure looked like RPGs...

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Although, there are many weapons from the first game reappearing (The SPAZ12), I believe that there will be far more choice of weaponry in HalfLife2

 

[ferd]

Ok, in HL1 (minus Gearbox's HD pack), the weapons were a Glock, an MP5, etc.

But in HL2, the Glock's replaced with a USP Match, the MP5 replaced with an MP7-PDW...

they're just further in time=newer weapons :cheers:

 

[torso boy]

Mp5/Nade launcher = What game doesnt have something like this
Rocket Launcher = Nade Launcher that burns people (Cuzz rockets are boring already)
Snarks = Pheoromone Nade (o well)
Gauss Rifle = Dunno
Orange Charge Lazer Rifle = Dunno either

actually its:
Mp5/Nade launcher = MP7-PDW and grenade laucher( that burns people)
Rocket Launcher(actually rpg) = Rocket Launcher(same one...but with large missles that look like torpedoes in inventory)
Snarks = Pheoromone Nade....AND MANHACKS!!!!(catch with manipulator)
Gauss rifle = Same gun, new look
Orange Charge Lazer Rifle = Thats what the gauss was...(maybe he thought the gauss was the egon...and who knows where that went?)

 

[Mechagodzilla]

I'd say that the Mp5 is more replaced by the OCIW.
One early video shows that it has a built-in grenade launcher.
Gordon fires it at a strider.

But the OICW is a rifle, while the MP7 PDW is a submachine gun like the MP5

that wasnt a RPG.

RPG's arent lazer guided.

Well, from the first-person shots of it, it looks an awful lot like an RPG-7V (http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/vietnam/us/nva_weapons.jsp, scroll down to the RPG-7V shot). It's got the octagonal barrel-end, and the sight looks pretty similar. Then again, there may be a more modern RPG that I'm not familiar with... Whatever. It's close :E

[EDIT] Also, kudos to Mechagodzilla for linking my mod in his sig :thumbs:
[EDIT 2] Oh wait, you're our concept artist :rolling: Heh. Anti-Kudos to me for not figuring that out for a few minutes.

 

[torso boy]

actually though mechagodzilla is right....the OICW is a better match in terms of functions...i just forgot about it

 

[hinson]

will it be possible to have rifles with built in little HUD just like the ones in Halo? But with more detail and perhaps with a thermal detector or etc.

 

[CyberSh33p]

Ok, in HL1 (minus Gearbox's HD pack), the weapons were a Glock, an MP5, etc.

But in HL2, the Glock's replaced with a USP Match, the MP5 replaced with an MP7-PDW...

never said there wouldn't be a glock or mp5 or any of those...

 

[ferd]

Any idea how many weapons there will be?

Because ive got a feeling there will be alot more weapons then we expect

 

[TonicBH]

Okay, I ask a relatively stupid question, so what.

I was just curious. Then I realized that HL2 took place many years after the events in the original Half-Life.

But something tells me that the weapons we've seen so far (MP7, USP Match, OICW, etc) are the only weapons in the game, plus probably some new ones we haven't seen yet.

Or maybe Valve will surprise us with new weapons like a Scientist Launcher! (kidding)

 

[Vegeta897]

Yeah like in Rocket Crowbar!

But the MP5 is the counterpart or the MP7, ever notice the little "0" next to the ammo when he has the MP7 out? Grenades. Just like the MP5 had grenades.
