Ultrahard (or how to make the game harder)

[m00b]

So I was making a whole new mod just to make the game harder. I was thinking to myself oh ffs there's gotta be an easier way to make it harder than by making a whole new mod.
And...THERE IS! :E

To play on MY Ultrahard level you do like this:
1. start HL2
2. open options and choose normal difficulty, then close menu
3. open console and type "sk_dmg_take_scale2 3.00" (no quotes)
4. start a map by new game or however you want

This will make enemy hurt YOU 3 times as much as in normal hard yet you dont have to shoot them 1000's of times like on regular hard (so you have enough ammo).

---------------------------------------------------
If you wanna mess arround more here's more commands
and default settings:

For easy
sk_dmg_take_scale1 0.75
sk_dmg_inflict_scale1 1.25

For normal
sk_dmg_take_scale2 1.00
sk_dmg_inflict_scale2 1.00

For hard
sk_dmg_take_scale3 1.25
sk_dmg_inflict_scale3 0.75

As you can see you can also make your game easier by typing "sk_dmg_inflict_scale2 3.00", etc...

Enjoy!

bah seems like it would just make the game longer...impossible difficulty should have harder AI not just harder to kill IMO...nice find tho

They aren't tougher, you're weaker

Thats what I got from those instructions

Very cool find! :E

I found Hard to be too easy so I was wondering if we could could make it tougher without just restricting yourself with weapons. It's good that we can.
