(Spoiler) My personal experience with the super-grav gun on the first level

*SPOILER*

I just recently finished HL2. I got so inspired by the last level in the citadel where you wield this ultra-hyper-mega-grav gun running all over the place virtually unstoppable. So I thought this would make for a fun picnic if I could restart playing the game again equipped with that thing. So after reading various threads on how to get it through cheats, I proceeded to do it. So there I was in the train, executed the give weapon command and drooled on my keyboard when the glorious weapon appeared on my hand. Got off the train and the first hapless thing that tasted my newfound wrath was one of those flying things that take blinding snapshots of you. Then I can't hold on anymore, I wanted to paint pictures in the air using a combine as my brush. So I yanked that very first combine that checks the arriving guy's luggage and did a lovely Van Gogh with very rough brush strokes in the air. I was laughing like an imp for like fifteen hours, man. This is the purest meaning of fun, I tell you. So I then proceeded humming and whistling my way through the train station leaving a wake of flying combines in the air. I felt like a raging bull that's late for a mating session. So now I approach the part where a combine calls you to get into a room with another combine inside. I rushed inside and really unleashed my artistic fury with superb passion. Slammed the combine on the floor and up the ceiling. Flung him across all four walls, diagonal, criss-cross, every trick known to man I did on that poor combine. Again, I was laughing forever. And then suddenly I stopped laughing, I remembered this was the part where you meet Barney! I waited for the other combine to walk in hoping that would be Barney. But no. There was no more combine there. OMG, I just gave Barney the worst possible welcome treatment ever! I couldn't progress through the next level after that, doors wouldn't let me pass through. Oh well, moral of the story: Big toys sometimes aren't meant for all boys.
 
You are lying, you can't grab barney. I know because I tried. You can grab that one combine that is inside. After you kill him though, Barney doesn't do anything since he needed that one combine soldier to interact with to further the story. Barney was probably just out of site.

Whatever. Lying or not it was still fun to read.

I'm not lying. I wouldn't waste my time posting that if I didn't go through it. Granted, you maybe right about Barney not around anywhere afterwards, because I rushed in when I saw that combine inside. Maybe the other AI saw what I was doing inside and decided to disappear. Anyway, maybe I'll try that again and grab the real Barney.

Welcome to halflife2.net. Quite entertaining :)
Thanks for the welcome.:cheers: Looks like a bunch of cool people here. And some crazy (in a good and fun way) ones too.
 
I notices that if you grab a friendly who is in the middle of the scripted sequence (try in the place with the people getting food), it sucks a ragdoll out of their body but they carry on walking about :|

You can pull an infinite amount of ragdolls out of them.
 
yeah, you can grab an infinite number, but....at the end of highway 17 in the lighthouse, the guy that lets you out of the light house and into sandtraps , i pulled maybe 50 ragdolls out of him, and then after he opened the door he died!
 
if you get that much pleasure from corpses, i suggest you see a psychiatrist...

and yeah, Barney's behind the door but he requires 1 of the Metrocops to interact with. The same type of thing happens later when you get assaulted by the cops and Alyx meets you. If you don't get beat up by them, she never arrives so you're stuck.
 
Barney "Hey Gordooooooooooooooooooooo ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Smack
Smack
Screeeeeeeeech
Wack!
Splat

Barney "Gor..doooooooooooonnnnnn freeeeeeeee ughhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

SPLAT
 
Barney is the guard that tells you to follow him, the guard standing inside is a regular Metropolice IIRC.

Yea that's the side effects when u get in contact with the so called "organic" manipulator :afro:

welcome to the forums, we are all a bit crazy here :rolling: :E
 
Mitch is just as much at fault. "if you enjoy corpses"... Mitch, HL2 is a FPS. Welcome to the realization that you're playing a game where you basically wind up making mounds of dead things. Deal with it. If you didn't enjoy it, you wouldn't be playing the game. If you didn't play the game, you most likely wouldn't be here.. unless you're a troll. I don't agree with what chipmunk said about killing yourself or whatever.. yeah, it was an overreaction... but coming in here and telling people they need help for liking corpses is just an unnecessary.
 
"And about that beer I... WOW STOP GORDON, STOP!!!" :E

Great story! ;)

it was quite clearly a sarcastic comment i thought. And even if it was serious, I'd be worried if I had kids and they were laughing manically while tossing corpses about a room, smashing them up against walls for 5 hours.

There's a line, just like in real life, between normality and psychosis :p Like what Bill Hicks said about the fine line between romance and perversion: "If romance is flowers, perversion is stickin them up her ass. I dunno."
 
ahahahaha
ok from the first post all the way to the one above mine, i have been laughing, especially at the go kill yourself post, then the rebuttal...
ahaha
 
What exactly do you have to type in the console to get the super grav gun in earlier levels? I read that "give weapon_physcannon" and "give weapon_physgun" are it, but neither worked. Lots of other weapons(ones you dont normally get in game) didn't work either. And yes I had sv_cheats 1 done.

Weapon list I found which most of didn't work..

weapon_ar1
weapon_ar2
weapon_bugbait
weapon_cguard
weapon_molotov
weapon_manhack
weapon_immolator
weapon_irifle
weapon_crowbar
weapon_extinguisher
weapon_flaregun
weapon_frag
weapon_gauss
weapon_alyxgun
weapon_hopwire
weapon_iceaxe
weapon_physcannon
weapon_physgun
weapon_pistol
weapon_rpg
weapon_shotgun
weapon_smg1
weapon_smg2
weapon_stickylauncher
weapon_stunstick
weapon_thumper
weapon_sniperrifle
weapon_rollerwand
weapon_slam
weapon_hmg1
weapon_cubemap
weapon_binoculars
weapon_ml
weapon_brickbat
 
ummm you cant grab barney.....i did the whole level w/ the super gun..u cant grab him...the script continues no matter what and u can move on to the next level....fun story none the less however ficticious
 
hm i got it but its laggy as hell and game crashes left and right
 
I just reset all the values on the default grav gun so it's more powerful than the ultra. The game does want to crash bad if say, you pick up a combine jeep thing and throw it at someone (you can actually do that). Any of the synth's (gunships and striders) seem to be immune. I can't figure out how to make it grab living matter. Anyone know what console command resets that? And how do you get the ultra physcannon for that matter?
 
to get ultra physcannon you have to load a saved game where you got it normally in gameplay, and then do changelevel command(not map) to whatever level you want it in, then give weapon_physcannon
