Would be cool if it were true

Didn't know where to put this, but it's pretty much just speculation and no confirmed stuff so I put it here...

Found this on the Havok site:

Apart from character physics, Havok runs environmental dynamics allowing interactivity with most objects and where else could you put a crowbar in the works to stop a dynamically modeled machine?

Would be really cool if you could use your crowbar this time not just to smash in faces wouldn't it be? :naughty:
Think of the possibilities!

you mean this "havok" is powered HL2 engine?
or is all lies?

Yes, the source engine has a modified version of the havok 2.0 physics engine. And yes you can smash everything with your crowbar, it is a physically simulated object.

Yeah I knew that, but I never thought of the idea that you can use it to sabotage stuff.

Well, I read in one preview that the people watching the game saw the player "pry up" a manhole cover with the crowbar and use it as a shield from an autogun, then whip it at the gun, knocking away its legs. I said this once before, but for some reason I was shouted down.

hmm never saw this, i also heard that there is a video where you can see the player stick the crowbar in some rotating machine which then gets jammed

I think thats because in that preview they were talking about the manipulator not the crowbar lol.


I could be wrong though....

EDIT: On the other hand, I do remember reading about a demonstration where the player puts a wrench into a machine and it stops
