old news, but thx for info.

 

[Lobster]

There are some who would consider that a spoiler, but yeh, looks cool

 

[destrukt]

so, it doesn't get extra power from the citadel. . .

 

[Dead-Inside]

How is that NOT a spoiler?

 

[kakagar]

I have to agree it is a spoiler but well it isn't anything that you would gasp when finding out in the game

 

[Lanthanide]

Um, thanks for spoiling that.

 

[sam_justice]

it's not going to spoil the experience, i just cant wait to lob my teamates into a strider

 

[silverstealth89]

cool thanks man

 

[Asuka]

Thx for info. Didnt know that.

 

[SystemShock2]

so we could pick living combine up and throw them at things? or is it for dead things(i know you said liveing things but just making sure)

 

[KurtCobain]

Urhhm major spoiler!

Spoiler

Im guessing that is the thing seen in E3 2K3 demo ?, we dno how much truth is in his freinds 'statement' tho

 

[Bobcat]

I've had that conclusion for a while now, except I didn't think of the organic-able manipulator as a weapon, just as a demonstration tool.

 

[MiccyNarc]

It does.
Don't read the following unless you want to know more about the manipulator. Another spoiler is contained, and I have included tags.
EDIT:
This is how it works. When you reach the citadel, it becomes influenced by emissions from the citadel, I'm guessing.
If I may quote the guide:
"Should the Gravity Gun's flux capacitors become modified by Combine technology, both inoranic and organic materials can now be manipulated".

Spoiler

It becomes available in Chapter 13, benefactory

i wonder if you can pick soldiers up while still alive, and use them as barriers to stop the fire from hitting you.

 

[qckbeam]

changed the title just in case

From the guide:
"...or even use the flailing bodies of Combine foes as humanoid shields while you advance."
