Favorite Weapon

[Norman Frohman]

I'm all for the crowbar.

 

[Iron Kat]

Shotgun hands down.

 

[Mech Man]

Magnum , theres nothing quite as satisfying than blasting a fast zombies face off as it jumps at you , or shooting a combine soldier in the head and watching it do an awesome back flip.

 

[Norman Frohman]

Back flips are awesome

 

[Lizardizzle]

i love the little green alien gun from opposing force. It was so cute when Adrian petted it.

All i could do was go, awwwwwwww :3

 

[mikeecm]

penguin suicide bombers.

Pretty much; there's nothing like a bit of power.

 

[morgs]

Magnum or shotty only with downloaded sounds

 

[Ennui]

Shotgun. It feels so good to run through an area gunning down Combine with it. The altfire is tasty as well.

 

[Iron Kat]

^So this!!!!!

 

[97AndyMacK]

^ and again.

Well if we are alowed to go with guns from other games too then this would be third after shotgun. Its just a nice little addition to it that makes it feel more realistic.

 

[banana_f]

Shotgun... hands down

 

[Norman Frohman]

Shottys are quite wonderful, but I can't refuse the the crowbar, my sweet baby...

 

[Maestro]

Instead I'd definitively choose the super gravity gun, nothing is quite so satisfying as annihilating enemies by yanking them towards you and throwing them back to kill 3 more enemies. >
Second place is shotgun, hands down. It will kill anything in the game if you have a full box of ammo to work with.
Third place .357...if it actually carried enough ammo to be used effectively more than a few times. As it stands I feel like I need to conserve ammunition too much.

 

[Sledgehammer]

Flares.

 

[Dog--]

lol, what a suiting name for a 'favorite weapon' thread, Sledgehammer.

My favorite would be the cinder block.. It's small, packs a damn fine punch, and is a ****ing cinder block.

Number 2 choice is crossbow.

he never said that it needed to be FROM HL2. And Op Force IS in the hl univerce.

And who can deny it's purring? :3

it's especially funny when you fire a Soldier feet first so it looks like he's karate kicking the other guys.

 

[Hazard.Squared]

.357, gotta love sniping with the thing

 

[Norman Frohman]

I agree with you about the .357, but the fact that you can only hold 12 extra shots is a large turn off.

 

[ratneck]

It's between the shotgun and the .357
I think the super gravity guns a little cheap.

 

[mrman234]

Biozeminades.

Am I cool yet?

 

[Sledgehammer]

lol, what a suiting name for a 'favorite weapon' thread, Sledgehammer.

Except my screenname is actually a reference to sex (look up Peter Gabriel).

Don't worry, your cool

 

[-Kashmir-]

The shotgun. It's got quite a punch and the altfire is great. And don't even get me started on the super gravity gun. It's the cheapest weapon in the whole game. "OLOL I CAN PICK UP MAI ENUMIEZ NAO". I just found it a little easy.

Ha ha ha!

 

[Joest]

Shotgun. I find it useful is most situations because it has the 2 firing modes.

That, and I have the memory of blowing a Combine soldier back, breaking a fence and falling off of a cliff in Highway 17.

I don't know about you but I quite enjoy killing enemies by shooting them with their comrades. It's more about the comedy of flinging corpses as weapons than anything else.

 

[-Kashmir-]

Indeed, and it can lead to extreme hilarity, but I just found it easy first time round.

 

[Sneakerzz]

crossbow. Nothing better to me than pinning a few Combine to the wall by their necks.

Instead I'd definitively choose the super gravity gun

Where/how do you get this, and how come you can't impulse 101 it?

 

[kineaesth]

There's a command... Something like enable_mega_physcannon.

 

[57210788]

Gravity Gun for me.

I'm currently playing through HL2 again and I'm at the part where Alyx abandons you against 50 soldiers in the cells of Nova. I love killing 20 or so soldiers with one barrell that I keep picking back up whipping at he next guy. If the turrets fall down I pick them and throw them at them. When there are only a few I pick up a turrett and walk around with it. It uses up no ammo either. When they throw a grenade I grad it and chuck it back. Before i fell in love with the Grav gun I used to hate wasting ammo on those stupid manhacks. Now I grav the peckers and chuck them back at the soldiers or up against a wall.

 

[Earthdeath]

i thinks its physcannon_mega_enabled 1, but it only exists in eps 1 and 2.

As for my favourite weapon, nothing beats smacking the combine in the head with a crowbar.

 

[jet_porkins]

The saw disc, when combined with the gravity gun.

Conventionally, the shotgun goes to town on all b**ches in HL2. As does the magnum, but I primarily rely on it for long-ranged shots to kill whatever moving pixels outside the shotgun range.

 

[Greenwood]

I like that big meaty Combine assault rifle. The bass on it is awesome. Probably my favourite weapon in any FPS game.

 

[FISHY CRACKERS]

Once again i'll have to say the shotgun, it seems to me as the best weapon we get, and if not for the fact that you can shoot a guy about a mile away with it and still get a one hit kill i'd say it was the best, but that little fact i just don't understand in the least and makes me wonder why it's called a shotgun when it could just as easily be called the 'overpowered-wide-spread-long-ranged gun'

 

[amaranth]

The Magnum, or the altfire on the AR2

 

[ThunderDawg]

I use the shotgun the most because it is so effective, but my favorite is the crossbow, because it can turn my enemies into art. ಠ_ಠ

 

[Pivovar]

Honestly I love all weapons in Half-Life (with a possible exception of the OpFor wrench), but my all-time favorite is a tie between the HL1's Gluon (or Egon) Gun and the AR2 Pulse-Rifle. The AR2 sounds hella tight, kicks ass, the alt-fire is amazing, and has a really, really awesome design. Always loved it. And the Gluon Gun...well, it's just pure pwnage. I also love how it's really damn loud. (also the sound just after you finish firing is really cool)
