Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / February 2008Crowbar or pistol for Manhacks?
Hey all, I feel like I wasted quite a bit of ammo on these littler buggers. Then I remembered the first encounter where the NPC uses a pipe to defeat them. I'm playing on the default difficulty, so I'm not sure if ammo can be spared for them or not, or if the difficulty level determines how much ammo you find. Seems clear from what little I've read that the enemies get tougher, but do you also find less items? Dave S. > I feel like I wasted quite a bit of ammo on these littler buggers.

Definitely - they seem designed for maximum crowbar pwnage :) Even after you get the gravity gun, there are still instances where it's not only easier but more satisfying to just whack the hell out of them. ___ Neil aka HighVis -- >Hey all, > >I feel like I wasted quite a bit of ammo on these littler buggers. >Then I remembered the first encounter where the NPC uses a pipe to >defeat them. Get your back to a wall so that they can't get behind you. Switch to crowbar, and swing for the fences. Crowbar is the weapon of choice for many of the enemies you come across who do not have firearms. > Crowbar is the weapon of choice for many of the enemies you come across > who do not have firearms. But not all :p - Peter >> Crowbar is the weapon of choice for many of the enemies you come across >> who do not have firearms. > But not all :p I thought "not all" was implicit with the word "many"... ;o) It's sometimes surprising - headcrabs are arguably the weakest of your unarmed foes, but you're unlikely to take out a group of two or more using the crowbar without suffering some small damage. The antlion guard, however, can easily be taken out using a crowbar without taking any damage, if you have the patience - except in one of the rooms where you meet him - not enough space to dash out of the way. Oddly enough, this is also the one location where you're probably running low on ammo and could do with conserving it by using the crowbar. > Hey all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Dave S. The gravity gun works best for manhacks. Just grab it and fling it at any hard surface, boom. > The gravity gun works best for manhacks. Just grab it and fling it at > any hard surface, boom. ... espcially if the hard surface is another manhack.... ___ Neil aka HighVis -- |
