Like doh... I'm I the only one that notices this the crowbars from hl1 is different from hl2.
See, the olde one doesn't have the 'teeth'. I mean desn't have that litle triangle hole infront. And the shape is totally different.
And bt the way what's that 'blasted pit'?

I intendedly wrote it that way. So what was that. Is it by chance where you fight the tentacle? And where do you find a crowbar there? And why would you take that croebarif you already have one.
And btw the old crowbar's shape is toatally different than that in HL2. It's not just the graphics. The old is 'L' shaped whilst the new has a 'U' curve.
By the time of HL2 the same crowbar would be old and rusty, while the one we see is all shiny.

In addition, anything you could do with the crowbar you could do with any other weapon: smashing ventilation grates breaking stuff could all be done with other weapons. Even gibbing bodies could be done with explosives.

But with the crowbar you can get the satisfaction of bludgening people, zombies, and headcrabs to death. Will you not allow me that right?IAmAI said:

Being addicted to HL makes me feel addicted to HL...
Anyway, the crowbar, is just that: a crowbar. No significant meaning other than it's HL's signature weapon. And yes, Gordon has used several. And no, the one Barney gives him is not ANY of the ones he used in HL1, what he says is just his attempt at being clever. Like the beer reference. Alright?

parallels are cool
I don't think it really matters whether it's the EXACT SAME crowbar. The point is symbolism, which is the main theme of HL2 (or one of them, at least). For instance, Revolver Ocelot ALWAYS uses his Colt Single Action Army's. Now, we could ask whether the ones he uses in MGS2 are the same he uses in MGS1, or even MGS3, but that's a pretty pointless thing to debate about too.
What we should be debating is whether the crowbar in HL2 is merely Gordon's personal preference or pure symbolism. Namely, does Gordon carry the crowbar in HL2 because it's become a symbol, or because he actually likes crowbars? Symbolism could be argued here, because when you kill your first two Overwatch, he could easily grab the stun baton, which would probably make a more effective weapon. So which is it?

I'm guess you'll use something a bit more cooler than a crowbar in aftermath.
-Oh and btw Gordon doesn't use the same HEV suit.

imo what would be cooler is a melee option for all wepons, like a quick attack pistol whip... but perhaps that would be moving to far from the feeling of hl.
also i wouldnt care if it wasnt the original crowbar, im not a sentimenal person i guess. i think its the fact that u can destroy swarms of manhacks, squadrons of marines/combines with just a crowbar (if your skilled enough) or just causing chaos and destruction etc. with just a crowbar if you wish, what makes this weapon seem like the next best thing since sliced bread. Perhaps Valve will make up some story to include this weapon in aftermath, or more likely, perhaps not, leaving us to debate on whether it was the original or not. just valve's way of keeping us on our toes, leaving some questions unanswered.

Hl2 isnt half-life anyway. so i would say it doesnt matter. anyways i want to be a combinesoldier and slaugher up vortiaunts.

It's part of the HL series though... and every game in the HL series (OP4, bah) has a crowbar in.

Extending from your weapon list:inCo said:
Ravenholm Spears
2x4
A Headcrab ( reminds me of "nunchucks" from Kung Pow!: Enter the fist!)
Actually VALVe should have one episode revolve around more interacting with the environment, and weaponizing objects, like in Condemned....... Ah *picks up Lamarr by arms and in nunchuck fashion swings it*.:cheers:
