Whoa...what if you can do this...

[G-Nelson]

What if..............
















you can pickup crows with your manipulator????

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Then there would be a crow on the manipulator i guess?

 

[The Monkey]

Then I would have to kill you afterwards.

 

[Bait]

Biological matter can't be used by the manipulator.

 

[sKuNx]

Then you're not animal friendly.

 

[crabonhead]

what if the crow were fu of petrol and could be used as an incendiary g-nade?

 

[papa jake]

I'd rather pick up a crowbar with the manipulator. Then I'd shoot it at a crow cause those bastards freak me out.

 

[Malfunction]

Damn, I forgot how many cool things you can do with the Manipulator.

When facing off with a Strider, rather than trying to kill it, I'll just chuck lots of objects at its face to anger it.

You would call that one a Crow-Magnum! :E

How do u know this? (proof)?

 

[Geno]

Uhm, they've said so? Otherwise what would stop you from picking up a combine?

 

[yadalogo]

lol Combine-Pistol! what a good way to take out a baddy bye nailing him with a combine soldier!

ps: they are robots!

 

[KurtCobain]

Valve did say that Biological objects cant b picked up w/ manipulator.

Only way u can pick up living things is that Phys gun in the physics demonstration (which isnt in the game)

I wanna throw tables n chairs at Striders so bad -_-

 

[MadHatter]

Yeah, if you could pick up anything, the only thing people would use is the manipulator.

 

[chizzler]

Biological matter can't be used by the manipulator.

I hear this setting can be changed by modders. Imagine a little animals-throwing fight mod!! (chickens, and bunnies, ,and crows flying everywhere)!

 

[MiccyNarc]

I heard that

Spoiler

An updated version of the manipulator can lift dead bodies, such as headcrab remains

But I'm not sure if it's true.

 

[Greatgat]

I got the idea from another thread, but you could throw the crows at a Combine's crotch.

 

[aDidor22]

actually i swear i read a interivew ith gabe or someone and the question was asked if you can catch birds with the manipulator, and he said "Sure"

small things that are not static can most likely be thrown and very light things , like weak cardboard boxes, break when you picked them up.

So and were from a book shelf, to a matress, to a basket ball, to, maybe a car door somthing....well have to see

 

[fantasiser]

this reminded me of something
has anyone played Blade of Darkness? No? Well, you could chop someones head/arm/leg off, and then you could proceed to bash other monsters to death using said head/arm/leg

Shame that most things wont have 'removable' limbs... only torso and head i do believe. And maybe that's just zombies


Oh yeah, another thing... what if you put your manipulator away and the object you're holdings goes with it, so you can save stuff for later on?
