the Manipulator *drools*

[DaLys]

IMO it will be boring if there's no manipulator in MP. That was the thing i was looking forward to most. The manipulator is like "the thing" in HL2 and if it isnt in MP it's like taking away a part of the game. Btw, force grip in JK2 rocked, i think it worked great, except that you could make eachother fly. But it would be like 1 line of code to prevent two guys to use the manipulator at the same time on each other. Gabe, i will send you angry emails if you take away the manipulator in MP.

you might be able to but it will have a very limited use meaning you'd have to pick up a power source or something

i just recall a mail in the valve info only thread, where it says it will only be in SP... but that doesnt mean you cant get it in MP with a mod or sumthing i guess...

I think it's actually going to be a last resort kind of weapon, with all the new high tech weaponry we're going to get I doubt many players will use the manipulator in deathmatch. What do you think?

I hope it's in MP, it will add something really fresh to the MP expereience.

Imagine blocking off a street in team games with debris, all your guys holding down the fort, Trench war fare style.

I think it would be cool, like you pull the gun out of there hands and then blow there brains in with there own gun! OWN3D!

If it is in multiplayer, I doubt you will be able to use it on other people. But if you can, wouldn't you have to get right next to someone to grab them with it? It might work out.

 

[Nuclear_Gerber]

I guess its possible

And infact I think it would be quite fun to pick up people with the manipulator.

But imagine someone holds you with the manipulator, it's very annyiong to not be able to do anything.
I hope it wont be in the popular mods.

I think the manipulator should be the 'default' weapon like the pistol is now... hehe...

Being able to use it on other players would be weird... I mean... when you're grabbed and stuff... what do you see on your screen? (ugh, gonna throw up!)

While it may not be so useful in deathmatch... I'm sure hoping the multiplayer isn't just deathmatch... and the manipulator would have a lot more uses in scenario situations.
