[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

been playing half life 2 for a while now, and i wanna know whats you favorite way to take out someone in half life 2? im in ravenholm now and i think that using the gravity gun to toss one of those tanks that lights the guys on fire is the best! so funny!

so, whats your favorite way?

I love using the grav gun against the flying blade things (can't remember the name...) and shooting them back at each other; it takes them out quicker. Or just shooting them against the wall is fun too.

In general though, I like using the shotgun and shooting them in the head. Instant death, no matter what. :devil:

Yes techically you can, but it won't be very fun. There are several issues with it. I already mentioned them in one of my posts but I'll do it again.

1. Combine guards (not soldiers) are immune to it.

2. When used against civilians, blue graviy gun clones them. (weird)

3. Not all objects are affected (Security computers can only be picked up in citadel)

There are few others too. I guess Valve never meant for us to use the gun before the end. I wish they would release a patch that would fix everything.

I like to use the gravity gun and throw paint cans at them and they die and get a paint job :laugh:

but my fav way was in ravenholm where the cars were hanging...they come towards you and you press lever and they all die cuz the car falls on them :p

setting them on fire is fun too....too many fun ways

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
