Wouldn't be cool if...

[thehunter1320]

in MP or SP, you could pick up a barrel w/ the manipulator and smash people w/ it, instead of shooting the barrel, you run the barrel into it... just a thought, flame if u want

 

[Tarkus]

didnt they show in one of the e3 presentation gordon smashing a guy holding something with the manipulator???

 

[Reiska]

I think its possible, I mean, pick up barrel and move close to enemy while looking other way, then quickly turn towards enemy. If all objects are physically simulated (as it has been mentioned by valve before), fast moving barrel WILL inflict damage. This is great I think

 

[FatCombine]

So you mean run them into the wall with a barrel? I think the munipulator with the blue beam might not be in the game but, yeah, if it wasn't then someone could just make an easy mod.

.. I don't wanna hear someone say 'use the search function'. Theres posts about this, not threads.

Edit: Crap, wait, no. I forgot the yellow beam Munip did this too...

 

[XtAkm4p]

if they put a manipulator and a barrel in MP and you run fast enough, you wil cause damage.

 

[brisck1]

gabe has said that the manipulator will be able to pick up larger objects later in the game (power-up or something), so i guess this could be a possibility! imagine swinging a car into the side of a combine's head!

 

[BWMASTER]

Like you make a mod where you can pick up the cars and then smack the people around, that = fun (exept if you're in the way of my car)

 

[DaLys]

That will be a pretty cool feature. Or picking up heavy things and drop them over your enemies. :E

 

[brisck1]

i wonder if you will be able to hold object for a limited time? I have the feeling this could be a possibility at least it can be modded!

imagine having a manuplitor in MP and have someone driving at you, and at last second you turn it on, and raise/throw him over you

 

[Hudson]

could be a cool desperation weapon, someones mowing you down with a machine gun, you pull out your manip grab something off a wall and chuck it at em!

 

[oldi1knoby]

If the manipulator can pick up cars in MP, I would love to make a Junkyard map, where there are a bunch of cars stacked everywhere.. You have to pull one off the bottom or tops of stacks(and have the danger of them all falling on you) to throw them at you enemies. Would be cool to have mazes made out of stacked cars.

Edit: Oh, and you could knock down stacks on top of enemies by throwing the cars at them. Wow, I can't wait for this game.

 

[BWMASTER]

Oh I can smell the lag with that junkyard idea...

 

[Prince of China]

Valve better not make a level where there is rain(too late), cuz it lags me like hell.

 

[thehunter1320]

OH! I KNOW! a soccer MOD! ya, it'll be just like UT 2003 Bombing Run mode!

[thehunter1320]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! that was great.... that was pure gold

 

[JoJo]

And Another Cool Tjing Would Be if in multi player you made a mod that you could pick up other players..... you could have noob throwing contests!

 

[wbcheater]

that would be pretty awesome

 

[Tull91]

imagine this: You have a barrel "caught" in your manipulator. You jump of a building face down, just as the barrel hit the ground you fire. Now, would you fly up in the sky, or would the barrel get squashed?
Fascinating

Play BF1942 and use a bazooka, its the same effect
(note, just dont have a building behind you, you'll want that car to continue flying, not stop over you)

Anyway... I wonder if it will really work in MP. I mean, it would be a first. Or at least, the most complex I have ever seen... Considering how a game like BF1942 can lag (and that's just using vehicle physics, no other physics), I dont really see how. But I have alot of faith in Valve

Ever play Jedi Knight II online? There's a powerup which boosts your Jedi powers such that you can grab other players and toss em around...great fun on a map with lots of ledges. :cheese:

depends on the mass of the barrel. if the force required to propel the barrel away from you is greater than your bodies force falling through air, then you would stop moving/be launched upwards.
