@@GoogleAccount-ox6em That's what i thought when they pointed out it being the Mark 5 HEV suit because the old game uses the Mark 4 Model. But then Dr Kleiner points out that the suit still fits you like a glove, well the glove parts, and then you realize they called it the Mark 5 HEV suit because it has been modified to drain combine charging stations but probably left the tracking devices in there.
Even though I know canonically, Gordon Freeman without the hazard suit would literally just be him wearing the Blue Denim outfit that most of the other characters were wearing. For some reason at multpile times through out this video I was picturing Gordon scurrying around like Dr. Zoidberg out of his shell in Futurama.

If you enable fast weapon switching in the "advanced" options of the "keyboard" menu, you can switch the guns using the top layer numbers, with each key being pressed the amount of times corresponding to the guns hud position. I think this was possible even without HEV suit, at least in Half-Life 1 it is, the hud is still technically there, it's flag just has not been set to visible.

you could've used dog's ball to pass through ravenholm to nova prospekt.

It also "attacks" other enemies, but deals no damage, except for the headcrabs and black headcrabs, the ball in its own can kill headcrabs and rarely the skinny zombies. It also protects you from bullets and headcrabs/black headcrabs when you're holding it. With the gravgun, it oneshots almost any enemy. (be careful with explosives and water, it makes it explode)
@@audiovisualcringe omg that would be a cool little easier egg if Valve implemented that! Just dog does a few small happy hops and takes it with him when he flies off with the dropship at the beginning of Anti Citizen One 😆
@tables8709 No, the Mark 4 is Half-life 1, and Mark 5 is Half-life 2. Still, Dr. Kliner says 2 lines that allude to it being the same suit. "Well, Gordon, I see the HEV suit *_still_* fits you like a glove." "I *_modified_* your suit to draw power from..."
You actually can switch weapons without the HEV suit. You just have to use the mouse wheel, and need to go by feel. It just disables the number keys for whatever reason. I’m sure you can also just press q, but we can test that later.
You can use the "use" command to pull up a weapon directly, for example "use weapon_crossbow" pulls out the crossbow I believe the command is found in the keyboard settings too so you don't need the console It can even be used to pull up weapons that aren't in the HUD, for example annabelle and alyxgun
scientist in half life have 10 hp while resistance members with bullet vests have 20, this means that a bullet vest is about 10 hp, Gordon in half life 2 has 200 hp if he has max power, or 300 when dark energy, subtract 10 hp for Gordon himself and the suit is 190 or 290 hp, comparing this to a bullet vest, the normal suit is 19x stronger, while the dark energy is 29x stronger.
In theory this is 100% possible if you avoid picking up the rocket launcher untill the final strider fight next the the horse statue, you will have to used skips and clips to get around the earlier portions where the rocket is available but it is possible.
I have like 40 hours in half life 2 and just now i found out that you can sprint... so i completed the game without sprinting, and now im trying to beat it on hard and did ravenholm with only the gravity gun also without sprinting...

Empty out the RPG because the game will always give you RPG ammo when it's mandatory to proced (Rule 2 applies here)

With sandtraps you can either glitch on top of the map and go to the level trigger and find a hole in the ceiling to get down, or you could use a ramp to boost yourself over the first wall and use some props to stack up and use an explosive to jump over the invsisible wall in the bugbait chamber.
@@combatspecialist Ah. I tried it myself in the past trying to beat the game with just a gravity gun and I got the ramp strategy to work. I also saw somebody do it in a crowbar only challenge. I respect the effort though this was a very difficult challenge for you to complete
is it possible to get around the issue at 24:37 by first getting quickclip in water hazard, not picking up any rpgs throughout the game (the only "unskippable" gunship fight then would be the one at d2_prison_01, which is why you need quickclip), killing everyone at d3_c17_11, getting an rpg there or at d3_c17_12, hopping through d3_c17_12, then using the rpg to kill the two striders at d3_c17_13? you can potentially use quickclip more in the c17 maps. if it is possible, it's probably not feasible to do on hard you can get some of your regular weapons in the citadel maps by save-deleting, although they're mostly useless if you disallow bind "use " commands. if you make an exception here, though, it's possible to complete the citadel maps without taking any damage also i'm not really sure what your problem with the first antlion guard was?

Fun fact, the MP-7 in this game isn’t actually a MP-7, it’s the H&K PDW Prototype, the precourser to the MP-7. You can tell by how simple the upper and lower receivers are, the heat vent cut outs, the rail on top, and the barrel/grip. While everyone just calls it the combine MP-7, it isn’t since the MP-7 was never actually made in universe, seeing as the 7 hour war happened.
Realistically, you'd have to edit the damage values of all guns in skill.cfg to make weapon damage realistic to you without suit, you can also set the suit armor limit to 0 in the same file and therefore make it impossible for you to pick up suit armor, as you wouldn't be able to use it... without a suit.
6:09 i discovered that skip, but i did it differently, i ramped off of the dirt infront of the pipe and landed ontop of the catwalk. I also discovered if you do this as soon as you get to that part without waiting around it crashes the game lmao. I call it the revolver skip because you miss the revolver.
