Which physic effect?

[Raziaar]

Which pointless(in the grand scheme of things) physic effect are you hoping most to see in the the actual game?

Me... i want to see the cap shot off of a large co2 cannister, sending it careening around realistically as the highly pressurized gas escapes... like a random missile. :bounce:

Imigine taking the manipulator, yanking up a couple of those cannisters that might be any any type of factory you come across, and laying them down in a directional array. When the enemy comes, shoot the first cap, sending the cannister rocketing towards the enemy, followed by a second and a third can just to make sure nothing is still moving.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I doubt that'll be ingame, but it'd be awesome.

Not really a physics effect, but I'm hoping to be able to catch a thrown grenade with the manipulator and hold it by their head (if it's timed) or drop it next to them (if it's impact). That'd be a lot of fun to me

EDIT: Wohoo! I'm no longer a headcrab. I've evolved into a zombie

its not that great...

Um, probably just picking up a barrel with the manipulator and running into a wall, watching the force pushing back would be fun.

 

[Solid_Raiden]

I wanna use the environment as a clever weapon. Like shown in Traptown. Use the container to squish em!

You have seemed to found a human then to jump on

It beats being a headcrab, that's all...

Another thing I'd like to see...is a small mod that's just a big open football-like field with distance markers and such. Then there'd be a big catapult with a bunch of random objects just sitting there waiting to be launched. Just for shits & giggles...

 

[x84D80Yx]

i wanna do a teeter totter! aka sea saw (sp?)

stand on one end, take off the weight limit on the manipulator, pick up a car or truck, some how aim the car or truck directly in the air so it lands on the other end of the teeter totter and take off like a rocket when it lands

 

[Raziaar]

Umm... yeah, it is in game. I e-mailed gabe and asked it. I was kinda dissapointed at the 'to the point' response he gave me, but it at least answered most of my questions.

Sounds dead fun!

 

[Prince of China]

Ohhh! You mean like, put the G-Man on the other side and while he's fixing his 2 cent tie, jump on the other side and pull out your manipulator and send him to Mars? Awesome!

He says its possible in source, not that its in the game.

 

[P Meister Flex]

I would say that shooting the crap out of a car and watching it move will be close to the top of the list

All he said was 'yes' twice... that seems to imply that it also is in the game somewhere. I EXPLICITLY asked him in that e-mail if it was implimented in the game somewhere :cheese:

I don't think i'd of even heard about it before if it weren't implimented into it.

 

[Styloid]

I want to be in a car/truck crash where I can watch me and my fellow passengers get violently thrown around.

I'm not sure you could take a blanket statement like this seriosuly. You asked like four questions and all he said was 'yes'.

 

[Cheetarah654]

man, i dont even know what would be great to toy with, so much. i think it would be neat to blow up the barrels and cause them to knock down supports on small ledges and whatnot causing enemies to fall/catch fire/get crushed. like the car in traptown that smashes the one against the wall. complete badass.

 

[Raziaar]

LOL... yes, but why not assume its in the game? This is a city we're talking about here... Physics abound here, and co2 cannisters are highly common in industry.

Why do you think this wouldn't be implimented somewhere in game?

Even if it isn't in game, it can be done in the source... and this effect makes me just DROOL.

I'm gonna make tones of maps like that with hammer...

One room + Line of scientists + Pool of water + Buggy = Omfg when is hl2 coming out!

 

[Typhon]

dude, I'm totally psyched for gravity. I mean, talk about AWESOME.

 

[FortisVir]

I'm a sucker for realistic vehicle suspension.

 

[poseyjmac]

id like realistic lip syncing and voice muffling when i stick a grenade in a scientists mouth, and watch him blow up

 

[FictiousWill]

How about a rocket-powered buggy loop-the-loop map? An empty map with a 200ft high loop-the-loop and the buggy...

Or a whole lot of buggies! So we could crash into eachother at the top and go falling off.

 

[DimitriPopov]

Something I just thought of , Skeet shooting.

Take something with the manipulator , throw it up in the air , hit quick switch , shoot it down.... that sounds like fun!

That too!! Realistic suspension and mechanics (Maybe even a realistic engine compartment) on vehicle models. Im a sucker for cars.
