Why is it that all crossbows look the same? They are all made out of strange, cobbled together parts, and yet they look the same. Is there a rebel guide or something? And why didn't valve keep the old crossbow. The shark cage level was awesome in HL1.
What makes you think we care?
Because we bitch about hating rochelle and other shit
Personally, I wanted a compound bow.
"All" crossbows being three, right? But anyway, it's never really something I notice when playing HL2. I'm more like "FUCK YEAH A CROSSBOW" than "omg this iz lasy crossbow cos its old valve r fags".
When I picked up the first Crossbow in HL2, I was like "Hey, I remember this thing!", as contrasted to in HL1 when I went "This looks more like a crossbow than a sharklike monster tranquilizer". Then the cage fell and I took a shit right in my pants. Moral of the story is: Who gives a shit if it looks different. It isn't like there's a Rebel Crossbow Factory that manufactures them somewhere. They're just made of... Whatever is there.
I liked the explosive bolts from HL:DM, this "orange hot rebar" thing is just odd...more reason I should like it then I guess...

Sort of semi-ontopic: When did the crossbow start ricocheting in Garry's Mod? I don't remember it doing that a few months ago.

[QUOTE=RedStar;18700266]Sort of semi-ontopic: When did the crossbow start ricocheting in Garry's Mod? I don't remember it doing that a few months ago.[/QUOTE] They do so in HL2. I heard there is a EP2 achievement for getting a ricochet kill. Not sure though.

[QUOTE=Dr. Doctor;18702571]They do so in HL2. I heard there is a EP2 achievement for getting a ricochet kill. Not sure though.[/QUOTE] I know they do in HL2 silly. But it wasn't doing that in GMOD a few months ago. Or maybe I just never paid attention to it, I dunno.
I'm tempted to say "It's a game" but the fact that you actually made this thread shows that you- Oh fuck it, I can't be bothered sarcasticly mocking you, I highly doubt you'd get the joke.
We all noticed this ages ago, and none of us care about it
