It's funny and pretty realistic how in the Half-Life universe H&K accepted a contract from the combine before putting their weapons on the civilian market

The Ak Fits very well in half life 2 considering half life 2 takes place in eastern europe, it make sense there would be some stock pile of them hidden and used by the rebels, i dont know why they cut it, they could balance it by making it inaccurate at longer ranges but have high damage at medium ranges

I think the reason the AK and mp5 were cut in half life 2 is just because they don’t look futuristic enough. Pretty sure that’s also why Valve replaced the glock for an USP, fits a lot more with the combine aesthetic.

The Incendiary Rifle DOES have its own model. The AR2's model actually rips straight from the Incendiary Rifle, not the other way around. This is actually why the AR2 has such a weird reload mechanism. If you imagine those 30 shot pulse "plugs" as being single shot incendiary grenades, the weapon makes a lot more sense.

The lighthouse encounter with the gunships uses a music track from Half-Life 1, a music choice that was very likely made because it was the moment that the Tau Cannon returned as a usable weapon.

2:43 its a surreal experience seeing your own art in someone else's youtube video

i’m pretty sure the rebel npcs still use the mp5 reload animations in retail because you can see them doing the ‘HK slap’ on their mp7’s, despite the mp7 having the charging handle on the back of the gun

21:20 "These could be used to weld two props together." Tears of the Kingdom took this idea, I see!

4:50 I've heard that game developers move the bolt to the left because it looks more active and interesting when player sees the moving parts of a gun

The sticky gun weapon was reused for the Demoman in Team Fortress 2

I loved using the SLAM in HL2:DM RP servers and just spending an excessive amount of time boobytrapping an entire map. Given enough time, I'd run back and forth between a police station or gunstore and literally, place no less than 50 SLAM traps into stores, apartments, walkways, toilets, etc. Sometimes I'd also rejoin the server so when people inevitably trip the SLAM laser and die, then it wouldn't credit me for the kill. This worked great to troll people and I couldn't be suspected of RDMing ...or booby-trapping an entire RP map. RP_Amsterville worked the best for this, lmao.

the irifle looks like the ar2 because the irifle model and animations were reused for the ar2. when you consider the ar2's weird ammo setup, firing system, and reloading, it was originally a single shot autoloading beefed up flare gun basically.

I like to think that the cremators’ jobs in the canon half life 2 is clearing up the xen waste that we would see in places like the Quarantine Zone in Half-Life: Alyx :)

Babe wake up, new Lucia video All serious though, huge thank you for all the content you make. You've become my favorite Half-Life creator and I binge-watching your stuff. Kudos x

tbf there are many reasons why the sandbox in hl2 makes sense even though it is smaller than hl1, mainly because it feels more realistic to have real weapons and you never go to zen in hl2

I kinda miss the more unsettling aesthetic of the Half Life 2 beta builds, it all just felt so wrong, like it wasn’t supposed to be seen by anyone other than the Combine. If there ever is a Half Life 3, I really hope they add back more of this bizarre vibe that sadly got cut out.

I just realized how much stuff I made for this comp, well good job on the vid man

3:12 Never in a million years did I think i would see Franzl fucking lang anywhere near a Half life video.
