Can the Crowbar do cool stuff?

[cheesepie]

Ok, Gordan Freeman's signature weapon is the crowbar, right? So, why can't he do more with is then just, you know, smacking someone? Like using the crowbar in some cool animated sequence to kill a guy of even just to pry open a stupid door! I really think the crowbar should be more than just your last ditch weapon (and you know how often you run out of ammo in the later levels...), especially after that interview where they talked about how it was the first feeler in the world etc etc...Any ideas of stuff the crowbar would be really cool doing?

 

[Polaris]

The ability to deflect bullets...

 

[cheesepie]

I though of that too

 

[Sheepo]

Have it shoot lasers.

 

[Selkcip]

Have more melee animations. Like a shanking motion and maybe a horizontal swing instead of just vertical. It needs some variation to it's motion.

 

[Ridge]

aimbot, so when you swing it, any combine on the screen die...

 

[Sheepo]

Crowbar boomerang!!

It would be quite cool if it would have a kind of much stronger, but slower attack, that would do much more damage. For example you could kill a combine soldier with just one hit in the head...

 

[Ridge]

Use it as an ice axe, so you can dig it into their skulls

 

[Adabiviak]

I like the idea of a stronger attack, like the way you could charge the pipe wrench in Opposing Force - if you timed it right, you could gib headcrabs out of the air.

 

[cheesepie]

Yeah, like if you sneak up on someone, you could just one-hit smack them.

Er... yeah....

Not in Half-Life.

 

[gusIII]

You should be able to stab people with the,, uhmm, non-curved end!

 

[Qonfused]

Ice pick tiem.

 

[Slug Advisor]

It should have a iron sight.

 

[taviow]

It should have a laser sight. It should talk like the HEV suit. It should have it's own power source for the flashlight. It would be useful to be able to snipe people with it too. :O

 

[Asknoone]

Whilst I'm sure it'd be fun, it doesn't seem quite Half-life.

 

[xX NoTe 2 SeLf]

Its a crowbar. You hit ppl with it. The end.
-Thread Closed

 

[Asknoone]

You totally swooped in and swept the thread off its feet.

 

[xX NoTe 2 SeLf]

ty sir.

 

[liPillON]

with the crowbar's alt-fire Gordon can open bottles

but it can only be used once, so he's saving it for the day Barney will buy him that (in)famous beer

 

[Planetary]

I'd like a secondary attack too, like in Opposing Force. Though it's not a really pressing issue.

 

[Lucid]

It needs to have drunken RPG rockets strapped onto it, so when you swing with the second button... it lobs missiles!

Like so.

 

[xX NoTe 2 SeLf]

no i got it ... when u hit the secondary ... gordon throws a pheropod up in the air, swings the crowbar like a baseball bat, sends the pheropod flying into a combines head ... he is preoccupied whiping off the icky juice when an antlion comes out of nowhere and eats his face

I was kidding :cheese:

I just wanted you all to appreciate this brilliance a second time.

 

[Azner]

nono, he sticks a pheropod on the crowbar and dances with it.

Wait wut?

Damn you, I was doing that joke.

 

[scotland1]

Use it to help climb hills, like a pick axe.

Not fair, i was hud_fastswitch 1

 

[Fr3AkAzOiD]

This may sound more like a move out of one of the "Hitman" games but a silent attack where he sneaks up behind somone (or they are just around a corner) and he uses the curved part to wrap around there neck and pull them in close then a quick neck snap and there dead.

or

An upward swing to the head that does a little less dammage but has a chance to knock human sized (combine/zombies) to the ground and they are dazed for a few seconds.
Could make a nice combo of an upward swing then 2 pistol rounds to the head while there down.

or

A wide swing that covers 1/2 the way around his body hitting multiple targets, does little dammage but knocks enemy back. Good if you get surounded by zombies and need a way out.

 

[357]

I actually like how they improved the crowbars power - it was quite dumb that you couldn't kill a headcrab in one swing...(if I remember right, you needed 3...). Now the crowbar is a really good for killing crabs... But i still want a stronger atack, that could kill combines/zombies in one hit to the head (now it takes about 6 or 7)

 

[Animontius]

how about a shish kabob function. you know, to restore health...
