Medkits?

[Mechagodzilla]

I haven't seen any indications of how gaining life will happen in HL2.
It seems likely that the med terminals from Black Mesa won't be back,
so how do you get fixed up? (Besides medkits)
Maybe someone out there has info.

If the medkits are back, I hope you can carry a few this time around.
I mean, they had handles in HL1, but they had to stay on the floor. Being able to bring one with you for emergencies would be neat.

It will probably be kept a surprise.

Valve and their surprises....i love them,more of a WOW when we get the game...i cant wait!

maybe the medkits could be used as a weapon too
that would be funny

 

[Chris D]

No, that'd be TFC

Suffocate people with bandages, use a syringe full of air, scaple to death, throw the box, etc etc. The possiblities are limitless!

I suspect they have something up there sleeve for as to how to recharge the H.E.V suit

ew a saringe full of air -shutter- one of the VERY FEW things that makes me squimish is that

Yes you could simply smash them over the head with it.

I noticed on the last vid (barracade) that at certian points you could hear the heath sound(dose it twice). Gordan dosnt get any health but i bet his friends do. And this leads me to belive that if Gordan gets hurt enough one of those guys will heal you. Hence the need to keep them alive.

There was a single player mod for HL1 called Azure Sheep and in it you had a female side-kick. You carried round a medkit that you could heal her with. Which was useful.
I'm hoping there isn't too much babysitting in HL2... I bloody hate babysitting missions (within reason) I hope that the NPCs can care for themselves to a decent extent...

If i'm not mistaken thats a sound that plays when the clip of his gun becomes low, it just sounds like the healing sound from hl1, maybe its a placeholder

Its just a lil beep. Doesnt sound like anything from HL1 to me.

There seems to be alot of similar car wrecks lying around city 17, I reckon somthing neat would be charging ur HEV from the car batteries lol.

I think there will be more possibilites this time round, healing from people, machines, and pehaps alot of different medical supply items, instead of just 1 healthpack everywhere, It would be cool if you could be hindered depending on different types of damage, for instance if u get shot in the leg ur movment is low untill u found a splint, or blood loss continues to drain ur health unless you find some bandages or whatever.

Cant wait to find out.

Gordon simply puts a plastic bag over his head and hopes for the best i rekon, or puts his finger in a power socket.

 

[chris_3]

alyx gives gordon head and then he is full health!

 

[A2597]

I rekon that the combine have power stations/bateries around, and med kits for that matter...

OH!! Gun Point Healings.
"YOU THERE! COMBINE MEDIC! HEAL ME!"
"Huh? No!"
*Points Gun at combine medic*
"NOW!"
"err...yea, sure...."

 

[Shippi]

I think you can charge HEVs from normal plug socket things. In Boot Camp you can charge your PCV from one

The last could actually work (hey its a HEV), doubt the first does anything usefull though

"alyx gives gordon head and then he is full health!"

Would be nice idea for a modder to fiddle with lol.. i mean you go around blowing ppl up so i'm sure some sexual content wouldn't be too bad

a simple kiss from Alyx would be enough for me.
If she gives Gordy head his visor will fog up and the game would become more difficult.

I do hope valve has somthing good in mind though. I really hated those wall mounted health stations. and med kids seem to always look gay. It has to be something more or less realistic. Medic!

Its a city, its got to have population. Even if half of them died from headcrab attacks, some must have survived. Maybe they have... injections... for Gordon
At any rate, the combine should have some sort of medpacks. Or medics around that can fix them (that drops medkits when dying).

Would be really cool if Gordon only could carry a medpack though, and could heal himself at will, of course to a limit. Then he'd have to find a new medpack, but this would be rare.

Still needs batteries for HEV suit though...
