Why isn't the dark gravity gun in hl2mp ?

[Rooster1277]

Why didn't valve added the dark gravity gun from hl2 single player into MP ? it's really cool to pick people up with it. but than again it might ruin the online game cause everyone's going to use it constantly. maybe they could make it have like a 30 second time limt before it changes back into the regular gravity gun. just a thought if you see gabe pass it on to him lol

 

[Ennui]

um, that would basically blow any game strategy to hell.

 

[CookieCuttah]

Maybe if it could only fling stuff farther and pick up larger objects.

 

[Hazar]

what?

other than the tremendous lag problem of long strains of people picking up each other, that would totally not be any fun after awhile

you couldn't kill anyone if they knew what they were doing (which would take like 30 minutes to learn)

 

[Danimal]

...What a retarded idea.

You may as well put headcrabs in every corner of the map :|

 

[hungryduck]

guess what. you're stupid. have fun.

 

[pumako]

maybe the hability to pick up just dead bodies would be fun. but probably increase lag

 

[Rooster1277]

Yeah I think your not using your head enough, think about like quake 3 where the quad damage has a 30 sec timer on it before it fades away and your only able to pick it up maybe every few minutes or so. It could work and it would kick ass, kind of like a bfg gun so to speak. But most of you close minded whiny bastards would be camping at it waiting to pick it up. or at least thats what I get by the way you act in your replys. and by the way if You so much of a loser the only reply you have is to call someone dumb. do waste your time posting replys got eat a bullet and do us all a favor so we don't have to read through your bullshit replies

HL2DM is too much of a lamefest as it is to include a quad damage-style pickup. People would camp for it. It would blow.

But I guess it would be cool if they included the darkgrav within a new gametype. Something along the lines of 'All vs Darkgrav player'.

 

[Cukel]

Maybe it could be used a pickup, like when you pick it up, you can use it once or twice for 30 seconds or something. And I dont think it would cause too much lag picking up bodies, because ragdolls are not processed server side.

Oh and Noobulon's idea is pretty good too

 

[Cole]

Cukel that might make them have to be processed server side else even bigger hit problems could occur when flinging ragdolls.

 

[MasterLeviathan]

People already camp on dm_overwatch for the rocket launcher, so what difference would it make?

I haven't played through much of the single player game, so I'm guessing the dark gravity gun can pick up people while they're still alive and toss them?

 

[Ennui]

yep, kills them the instant they're picked up and kills like six other people when you toss them.

Plus it can pick up really big shit, like cars and whatnot.

putting headcrabs in every corner is a good idea,ILOVEHEADCRABSANDTYPINGINALLCAPS


......sorry bout that

 

[Mechagodzilla]

It would actually work very well, but only if the insta-kill suction function were removed.

Then it would be a gravgun that can toss cars, and has a close-range blast attack, in exchange for losing all your other weapons.

By the way, welcome to the forums. One tip, your ego needs a little dose of reality and logic.

Danimowned!!!


Btw It couldn't work unless valve worked REALLY hard the dark grav gunn was only specially made to pikc up people and monitors/computers in the citadel, as well as anything a regular grav gun could pick up. For those of you who HAVENT plaed garrysmod theey wont let pick up cars and such with the dark g g because it would crash the game for some reason or another.

You've all been

*deported*

for use of flagrant nonsense in your respective thread-posts. :x


Back on the topic, I don't think it would be too difficult to fix the ultragrav for use on cars, boxes and miscellaneous larger whatnot if that's an issue.
It would be well worth it just to drop a full-fledged automobile on your opponent.

But in Quake 3, its possible to kill someone who has quad damage easily, it just takes skill. In HL2DM with super grav gun, its 1 shot 1 kill (either one push or one pull) from almost any distance, Q3 is slightly weaker.

 

[Jintor]

Sounds fun. But i can't hit things with a normal grav gun, what chance do i have with a 3 tonne truck/car?

Removing all the weapons in exchange for the ubre grav-gun sounds good, if it still had the chance to kill people. The all against uber grav gun holder sounds good, too, if the uber grav gun person has no weapons. And remove the pull auto-kill, it'd blow in multiplayer.

BTW, have you thought of a chess mod for HL2? You just get the pawn, rook, knight, bishop, king and queen, equip them with different weapons, make no weapon pick-ups (except for ammo) and then make a map filled with debris. THe game ends if you kill the king.

 

[Danimal]

I would love to use the super-grav-gun if only it dosen't pick people up.

 

[PvtRyan]

Yeah, super idea, might as well turn sv_cheats to 1 too... :stare:

 

[Danimal]

Exactly.
