The fallen foes

[delikaizer01]

i have watching the hl2 videos, and i've been wondering if your can actually pick up your enemies (dead or alive) with the gravity gun, and throw them.


thnx

To my knowledge, yes you can

 

[iamaelephant]

No, you can't. Confirmed by Valve somewhere in the Valve Info thread.

Actually, as seen in the E3 movies, you CAN pick up things like the rollermines... human enemies... no prolly not, but still...

 

[Lethal8472]

Valve stated that bodies can be picked up ONLY if they are "tagged" to be able to. I doubt that means every single body will be tagged.

Yes you can. There is a special manipulator in the game that can pick up dead bodies. I think i heard this in PC Gameplay.

Someone else can confirm this?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I don't know anything about that, i heard that you couldn't from valve and that was that. If you could just knock enemies over cliffs etc with the manipulator the game would be too easy, and you would over use it. It would be better if you couldn't do it much/at all.

Nobody's really sure. It seems at some point the manipulator starts to glow blue instead of orange (though it is NOT the physgun from E3 2003), and it may then be able to pick up bodies...

YES, yes you can. As discovered in one of the HL2 review magazines, even showed a picture too.

I'll believe it when I see it for myself. :afro:

so yes on dead people no on live people?

 

[smacky]

dead combine soldiers can be picked up as seen in the dutch half life 2 review.

 

[Kouler]

No, but you can easily mod it in.

J/K, I don't know. Guess we'll have to wait.

 

[jimbones]

I thought I heard that the bodies "fade" after a while..

Doesn't sound Half-Life 2ish to me, hehe.

 

[zer0kewl]

i think gravity gun is really handy
it can pick up items
you can use it as shield etc.
you can burn zombie's

It will most likely be like HL where some bodies stay and some fade. Areas where there are a whole lot of dead bodies after a battle will probably have them fade.
