sure you COULD click that. but that requires drive and determination to do something you don't want to do, as a matter of fact.

 

[Beserker]

What are you babbling about? Click the link and you should get a neat list of weapons revealed. I did. *watching*

well the game mags have since added to that list a couple of my weapons in the list i made are pure speculation *cough* possible bs *cough* ... there are something like 11 officially revealed weapons so far, i heard the total will be 44... can someone correct me on this please, if i'm wrong

edit: i dunno what i'm babbling about, i should go to bed before i get in trouble for some posts

edit2: 11 was the old number before the new game mags and their previews.

 

[-JeZ-]

Let me see, you have the crowbar, the USP Match, the "Dirty Harry" Magnum, the Laser guided rocket launcher, the MP5 replacement, the 'weird' grenade launcher thing, the pheremone pods and grenades. If I've missed any out I'm sure someone will fill in the gaps (withouth spoilers! )

 

[KurtCobain]

The only weapon uve missed out ( i think) from the magazines is crossbow

gotta love that crossbow. :sniper:

 

[Brian Damage]

And the gauss gun appears to be buggy-mounted this time. Not too sure if we'll see a handheld version.

 

[blahblahblah]

13 weapons, that is alot. Especially since most of us will be playing with the manipulator throughout the game.

Weapons: crowbar, USP Match, magnum, mp-7, OICW, shotgun, gauss, manipulator, crossbow, incendiary rifle, grenade, rpg, alien pheromones

I highly doubt that Valve has told us about all of the weapons in HL2.

 

[Victor2]

As seen in the whiteboard videos: Magnum .357

 

[Brian Damage]

They've also said that they're "Keeping all the cooler alien weapons under wraps"...

 

[Jimlad]

I hope there are a lot more weapons than that. Looking at the list, besides the alien pheromone weapon, it's disappointingly unimaginative, dontcha think?

its also incomplete, dontcha think?

 

[KurtCobain]

Isnt there up to 50 weapons in the final game or something , if so that wuild b cool , just seems a bit high to me tbh

 

[Brian Damage]

No, I think there's supposed to be 50 enemies.

There's no way they've revealed all the weapons... you guys know how big they are on secrecy...

 

[Mechagodzilla]

I've heard that there are 22 or something? That's not beta info, but I forget where I heard it.

On the weapons list, also, are you mod staffers going to put up the newer weapons, like the magnum, crossbow, shock prod and that mystery gun from that one screenshot?

 

[Lobster]

lol pc gamer said 25-30 last year, pc zone said around 25 to, if you were going on beta info you would say closer to 30, but its become obvious alot has changed since then, so we will have to wait and see, safe to say there will be plenty of boom sticks for everyone though.

 

[Brian Damage]

I think most of what they've actually shown us is merely the standard stuff...

Big Machinegun.
Little Machinegun. (One of these two can have a grenade launcher)
Rocket Launcher.
Little Pistol.
Big Pistol.
Grenades.

... just the normal stuff... anything extra is a teaser...

Yes the revolver is comming back, you can see it in the new videos those short ones.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Big Machinegun.
Little Machinegun. (One of these two can have a grenade launcher)

The big machinegun/OICW has a grenade launcher. It's shown in one of the earlier previews. Gordo launches one at a strider.

 

[Brian Damage]

Yes, I know that.

I was just naming the standard types of weapons you see in FPS games.

 

[Cujo]

Well, um... I wonder.
In those new magazines (PC Gamer, PC Zone) they keep sayin' that there will be MP5. H&K MP5 that is.
Now, we know for sure we'll have MP7. Maybe its terminology mistake? Or it's that MP5k (little brother of MP5 family) which we can see in hands of NPC's on numerous screenshots?
Any ideas?

 

[kaf11]

i kept thinking when i read the articles that the people who got to play mislabeled the MP7 for the MP5. i see no reason why both would be put in the game. more evidence comes from the new screenshots which showed that the placeholder MP5 k's were replaced by MP7's. of course, the more weapons/choices in the game, the better

there ya go

hmm that list is incomplete now.
crossbow and colt .44 should be added.

and @ kaf11, somehow I have a feeling that loads of weapons have been scrapped since the alpha. Because doug told the previewers that the weapons we currently know are about all they have in Half Life². I hope this is doug lying again. the weapons in the alpha rocked

heh alpha, its more a pre pre pre pre alpha

I read both the PC Zone and PC Gamer previews, where did doug say they were all the weapons?

 

[DEATH eVADER]

A skipping rope is a dangerous weapon don't ya think

 

[RoguePsi]

I read both the PC Zone and PC Gamer previews, where did doug say they were all the weapons?

Doug didn't say it, but in PC Zone the previewer mentions the weapons specifically in a small box out. I can assume that they made the presumption that just coz they only got to play with certain weapons, that those were the only weapons in the entire game. I'm sure Valve wouldn't put all of their cards down in one go anyway - especially not in a preview!

 

[EVIL]

the belgium pc magazine called "pc gameplay".

 

[Jimlad]

its also incomplete, dontcha think?

Uh... no kiddin'. Hence "Looking at the list", and "Hope there are a lot more weapons", two pretty large portions of the two sentences I wrote. I *was* hoping I wouldn't have to explain that.

Given that it's incomplete, which should be obvious to most people, it seems unlikely to me that there are going to be many more weapons than those, going by most other FPS games. Beyond a certain point, weapon selection starts to become unmanageable, and there would have to be too much ammo lying around to be practical. If, then, these weapons make up the bulk of the HL2 weapons, I stand by my point that they seem a little unimaginative - they're almost identical to what we saw in HL1.

 

[RTFMish]

Gabe has said there are 25 weapons in the HL2 weapon arsenal.

if its incomplete and you KNOW it's incomplete, than why are you assuming that there arent going to be many more. and what makes you think this is going to by like 'most other games.'

Also the most creative 'imaginative' weapons are the ones they are holding back on.

you are jumping to conclusions

Please read my post properly. I actually state, directly, why I'm guessing these make up a large portion of the HL2 weapons. I'm also going by "most other games" because I think it's perfectly reasonable to do so - in the same way you expect a car to have four wheels, because all the other damn cars have four wheels.

What *may* be the case is that Valve come up with some new weapon management system, which is perfectly possible, but I can't see it happening personally; they're quite likely to stick to the tried and tested HL1 system.

Of course, I understand that the ones yet to be revealed are likely to be the most original, but they haven't left too much scope for it, and I have a right to say that the current line-up is hardly inspiring, don't I? Is this not a fair point?

yah, my point is i think they'll have a great balance of realistic weapons' and alien weapons to boot. I like a little of both.

edit: and im not sure why you think they 'havent't left too much scope for it'

 

[Jimlad]

Gabe has said there are 25 weapons in the HL2 weapon arsenal.

I guess I'll take it back then - perhaps there is room for many more imaginative weapons. Still, I'll believe it when I see it.

When I saw that the current weapon line-up mostly consisted of rehashes from HL1, alarm bells rang. In a way, I'm slightly glad that they're there because it's something familiar to the HL universe, but even so, I'll remain concerned until shown otherwise.

 

[EVIL]

I am just glad the crosswbow (toumpfhh te tuut tuuuuut) and the colt .44 is back

 

[Lobster]

If you watch the e3 movies, whenever the player changes weapon, there are 6 weapon slots, Melee, Pistols, Rifles, Throw-ables, Heavy/High-Energy, and one other.

I expect there will be a similar number of weapons as opposing force, which was quite a few, and im sure there will be some meaty explosives other than the grenades, tripmines or remote explosives etc, pc zone also mentioned a heavy alien machine gun, and i expect valve is keeping alot of stuff back for the player.
