Well, when you old people are dead and gone, no one will give a damn anymore. :p
 
Um, guys, that is no torpedo. Those are the flares he used to ignite the guy. Sorry to break the news to yeah

That UI Icon doesn't really look like a flare. Also, just because that icon popped up doesnt mean it was for the flare launcher
 
I think Wells would be flattered to see his aliens in action, even after a hundred years.
 
Yeah:rolleyes:

I'm gonna imagine that it is a game of War of the Worlds, the book rocked sooo badly and considering the subject matter of HL2 it's quite similar anyway!

Grow Up.

The grow up comment was not necessary, we are just pointing out stuff that have been copied or that inspired valve. And these zombies have absolutely nothing to do with Romero's zombies; HL zombies are only host to a parasite, the headcrabs: it's more like body snatchers.

yeah, the HL zombies are just parasites, they're not the dead resurrected.
 
You call this "thing" a flare gun and the only site that says "flare gun" is PlanetHalf-Life. You guys trust them all of a sudden?

It shoots a flare that lights people on fire, why not call it a flare gun.

hah, it's not that simple. We call it a flare gun, because in the Barricade video, the combine soldier on the tower fired a flare into the air to signal the Alien Gunship that comes. Also, just because Fragmaster is an asshole, doesn't mean PHL has bad or false information
 
Why not call a crowbar the "metal hurter-er"?
Why not call the gun a Napalm Launcher?
 
There is a Gabe email confirming the flare gun is called a flare gun. Sorry.
 
Tredoslop what the **** is your problem? Pull your head out of your ass! did you even read my post?

DUDE Watch the f**k'n movie he kills a guy with them and at the start it says he picks up 10! on the gun when he slaps it out it has 10 rounds left over! my god, its a f'n HUD icon. :flame:

what's stupid is the sheer amount of bitterness and cynacism on these boards, we need more moderators

What in the world would Gordon do with a torpedo??
Click to expand...

Yeah, considering torpedoes are usually launched from submarines and are over 1000 lbs.
 
So unless Gordon has a mini-torpedo launcher contraption in his suit that shoots up his ass, torpedoes are a no-no.

Yep. That why picking up a 10-pack of torpedoes seems a rather unlikely thing for Gordon to do.
 
The weapons look good - apart from the pitol which is just terrible ( and they're my fave fps weapon :( )

The manipulator is gonna be so much fun \o/

Wouldn't the manipulator be able to though? At least one?

But he picked them up right of the ground like a pack of cigarrettes.

When you're fighting aliens, anything goes :)
 
HEY GUYS that must be the secret gabe was talking about- remember he said we never found the last one- i bet you it ties into a weapon we are getting that wasnt shown- or a secondary fire function.
 
When Gordon was firing that "flare gun" dealie at the Combine, I've noticed some sort of musical beat.

That weapon is a Soviet Alfa-Class Nuclear-powered Attack Submarine. You would have to drop the RPG in order to pick it up.

Umm.. Yeah.

Torpedos are also designed to operate in WATER. They have PROPELLERS that spin in the WATER like a motorboat.

These are obviously ROCKETS for his ROCKET LAUNCHER. The same one that he shoots down the flying gunship at the end of the E3 Dune Buggy scene.

Rockets would be the much, much more practical answer.

Wtf, are you attacking my sarcasm?

I will wage war on your country.
 
1. torpedos are big
2. the torpedo launching tubes are big. very big.
3. torpedos are used underwater.

EDIT:
ha looks people are already bitching about the use of the word torpedo.
 
I think most people understand how torpedo's work, 'cept for the thread starter.
