Say what, now?

Something I noticed about the HL2 vids from 2004. first off, in the scene where gordon rides on a buggy, and kill a bunch of ant lions and troop, anyone notice that when he uses the shotgun, he puts it away with 4 shots still loaded? Well, when he takes it back out, it has *6* shots. WTH? He double blasts a combine soldier, leaving him w/ 4 shots again, then puts it away. He takes it back out a second later, and lo and behold, it has 6 shots? is freeman reloading it while we're not looking?

It's either

-A glitch in demo playback like all the other things
-One of the reasons its taking them 3+ months to polish a game

I bet it has something to do with dimensional flux. I'm not sure why, but I think it probably does.

Well, he seemed to have put it away while he was reloading, and it must have kept reloading.

Valve! It's a bug! Fix it!

Haven't you guys read the article on the new reloading system? The one where he beams ammo into the clip/barrel etc..?

Glitch in demo playback I bet, lots of stuff like that in CS .dem files and stuff these days.

Please back away from the computer and go out and buy a hooker, you REALLY need it.

Just be glad he didnt pull it out with 22 shots 10 seconds before the game crashed at E3 and Gabe cried.

I've only looked at video 3 times...

It was done for demo purposes most likely.

:hmph: Big deal if your weapons reload themselves when you put them away and bring them back out. If you played the Doom III leak it had the same thing, no, I am not sure if they kept this in or not. THEY CAN FIX IT IF THEY WANT.

CrazyHarij was right, its because of the demo recording, gabe mentioned it was an interpolation/demo bug that was causing mouths/sounds/impacts to be out of sync etc it also happens in the HL engine, demos will show false ammo readouts until a weapon is fired. mouths are also off.
