      The shotgun in the original has the issue of it basically being point blank use only, namely on hard. It can one shot things even on hard but does so consistently so you'd use it as a finisher mainly or kind of like you would with a weapon in Doom. Quick pull out, right click, then switch to something else due to its cool down.
      MMOD makes it a bit more viable with the decently faster fire rate and MUCH faster reload which actually hurts me because there is no way the guy in the video didn't notice that.

    Wow, after watching the video I wondered if you and I played the same original Half-Life 1. I LOVED the shotgun, its alt-fire shot two shells and destroyed anything point blank. And the crossbow was definitaly overpowered, the only balancing factor was the relatively low amount of ammunition you could find for it. Finally, the hive gun was awesome, because you could fire around the corners with it, and in the latter levels when you had ammo issues, it was clutch to save on ammo.

    8:55 The silencers do actually make it harder for enemies to hear you. For example, one time (in questionable ethics I think) there were two marines with their backs turned and they were right next to each other. I tried shooting one with mp5 without the silencer, and the other guy noticed and attacked me, but with the silencer, the other guy just kept standing there. I tried with the Glock too and it had the same results. But you’re never really gonna notice this unless you’re intentionally being stealthy, and I don’t think that’s something most people do in this game.

    More than just what you describe, half-life also singlehandedly brought about literally everything we take for granted in gaming today. In-game server browsers, explicit in-game mod support, SDKs for modding, even network coop and parkour (Sven and Action Half-Life respectively). I do disagree with you on hitscan vs projectiles though. Bullets travel faster than the speed of sound, unless you're more than a mile away they basically ARE hitscan weapons. The issue with them in most FPS games is that the AI doesn't have adequate programming to react to player movement with simulated inaccuracy by simulating response times and mis-aiming.

Eventually I got it and it really changed how I looked at games. It was the most immersed I'd ever felt playing a game.

    The pistol has always been useful since it does 8 damage as opposed to 5 from SMG, which counts for something especially on a hard skill, not to mention its great accuracy at any range. The increased firerate turns it into a real beast now, for sure.
    The non-hitscan projectile option ruins the revolver somewhat though, so you won't be able to snipe people with it like before, which hurts especially in Xen.
    I agree about the shotgun, but it has its charm as this ugly duckling that still gets the job done unlike its certain uglier younger brother (cough-cough Doom3). However, MMod seemed to have made the cocking/reload even slower somehow, probably because it's made to be 2-stage'd.
    Tripmines activate much faster now which means you can use them during combat on an enemy who is rushing you, which is great.
    Bug Bomb from the Hivehand is indeed amazing (and dare I say OP), and is hands down the best way to make the weapon useful. It also counts as a grenade making enemies panic, which gives you an extra edge in avoiding the damage.
    Also you can toss the hand grenade down on alt fire like in HL2, though it's not that relevant but is nice.
    Agreed on other points.

    Amazing mod, this is like a definitive edition coming in 2000. Which would have been called "Millenium" or "eXtreme" or "2K" at that time. However, I've always enjoyed the vanilla shotgun and I'm willing to fight topless over it

    I'm pretty sure the silenced weapons in MMOD actually makes it so enemies can't aggro on you when you shoot at them. Try it on the marines in On a Rail.

    MMOD changing all bullets to projectiles has always been my favorite feature of these mods and I would play it for that alone. It brings movement back into the equation, it makes the game feel more like Unreal or something skill wise.

    I have to agree on the "Half-Life is one of the most important FPS games ever made"

    The crowbar has both the alternate heavy attack, and if you press the button that puts suppressors on the pistol and smg, you can do a charge up attack as well.

  • @voidnoodle8911
    @voidnoodle8911 Рік тому

    Two things you missed but I doubt need saying;
    the Crowbar also has a third swing which is far stronger, but also far slower. I use it to one-tap zombies.
    The 'single fire' alt for the Gluon Gun is actually just a stronger fire mode- you can hold it to keep it firing, but the cost is it needs to charge and drains energy about twice as fast.

    1:41 TF, TF2, CS, CS2. L4D, L4D2. The whole Half Life Saga and the Portal games. And Gmod. These games also have loads of mods. And tons of fan made media online utilizing or referencing gldsource and source engine games, or making original content with it. And Source Film Maker and everything people have made in SFM and Gmod.
    Half Life is one of the MVPs in gaming culture like Doom, which had incredible wide-reaching effect on gaming culture. A big part of the wide-spread effect and long-lasting popularity is definitely in giving the gamers the development tools to make mods.

    From what I've played the suppressor isn't super useful but it does do is make it so enemies just don't react when you shoot them ,but must be unalerted. Just have the two marines in On The Rail talking bout how freeman will nine-mils are casually going through the first ones spine as the other is still talking to himself like nothing happened.
    It's unintentionally hilarious.

  • @aaronbennett3966
    @aaronbennett3966 Рік тому

    I really wish there was a shotgun mod for Half-life where the alt fire would be switching between pump and semiautomatic or just make it semiautomatic because the gun it's based on (spaz 12) could switching between pump action and semiautomatic. Hell, make the pump action setting do more damage, bigger spread, or something, and the semiautomatic do less damage, tighter spread, or something. Even a modd introducing new shotgun ammo types would be cool, like slugs, dragon's breath, explosive rounds. It would make the shotgun enemies more unique as well.
