Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / February 2005Good grief that's a strong crowbar!!
Beware the crowbar if you're a combine!! The stunstick sucks in comparison! > Beware the crowbar if you're a combine!! The stunstick sucks in > comparison! They seem similar to me. I hate both of them - it doesn't seem right that you can take on a guy with a machine gun and have any chance of winning unless you cosh him from behind. > > Beware the crowbar if you're a combine!!

Eh? You're saying it's not right that a guy with a machine gun can beat a guy with a glorified stick unless the stick bloke creeps up from behind? > Eh?

No - I'm saying it's not right that the guy with the stick can take on the guy with the machine gun. It seems to me that if a machine gunner and a stick guy stand toe to toe and slug it out the stick guy wins and even if they start at each other from a distance the stick guy still has a pretty good chance if he dodges because the long range accuracy of the MG is poor and the MG guy will probably have to reload which is fatal. The problem is that taking a couple of hits with MG bullets doesn't either slow you down or spoil your running jumping hitting or aiming. I know this is a general problem with this sort of game but the sticks show it up more than most weapons. > The problem is that taking a couple of hits with MG bullets doesn't either > slow you down or spoil your running jumping hitting or aiming.

But don't forget Dr. Freeman is wearing a hi-tech super-duper battery-powered suit. > No - I'm saying it's not right that the guy with the stick can take on the > guy with the machine gun. Take heart in the fact that if you charged a guy wielding an M16 while armed with nothing but a crowbar in real life, you'd probably be dead long before you reached him. Does this senario make a fun gaming situation, though? >> No - I'm saying it's not right that the guy with the stick can take on >> the guy with the machine gun.

I don't think that this makes for good game play. What is the point of ever more realistic environments if people in them don't behave reasonably realistically? This particular discrepancy could be partly reduced by having instant reloads but that has its own problems. >>Take heart in the fact that if you charged a guy wielding an M16 while >>armed with nothing but a crowbar in real life, you'd probably be dead long [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > What is the point of ever more realistic environments if people in them > don't behave reasonably realistically? Because realism generally doesn't make a fun game? eg, Most people after a single bullet from any kind of gun would be on the floor, dead or dying.. certainly not able to just jump up and carry on running & shooting.. they'd need a hospital pretty fast! Would that make a fun game?  SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench All these modern celebrities are endorsing supermarket products now... I got a pack of sausages from Tesco the other day and there was this picture of Anthony Worral Thompson on the front. Below, it read 'prick with a fork'. > eg, Most people after a single bullet from any kind of gun would be on the > floor, dead or dying.. certainly not able to just jump up and carry on > running & shooting.. they'd need a hospital pretty fast!

Yeah lots of blood Basically you join a server and you die beacuse of a glitch in the game - anyway it'll cost $40 to try again Yep sounds like a lot of fun - for the publisher/developer - Peter > Beware the crowbar if you're a combine!!
