[QUOTE=Coffee;39552672]I'd assume that the combine have assimilated all the gear they need from the various armies of earth and simplified it down to a simple selection.[/QUOTE]
Except the MP7 they use is hysterically bad in real life terms, hardly efficient
most of these weapons were chosen because they look cool. the MP7 and USP's diagonal angles make them really unique looking and pretty sexy imo.
[QUOTE=ojcoolj;39552510]Can we please increase the weapon variation for NPC's?
I find it hard to believe that the only weapons that the Combine can ever obtain are a USP Match, an AR2, a SPAS-12, and an MP7
A couple more pistols, another shotgun and maybe another assault rifle, along with maybe some other sorts of weapons.
And a smoke or flashbang grenade wouldn't hurt either
Obviously you wouldn't be able to pick them up, because new weapons (barring past game weapons) are a no-no[/QUOTE]
We've already discussed this. We're not adding extra NPC-only guns. #1 what's the point of a gun that doesn't effect the gameplay, and is only used for aesthetic purposes?- None. #2 It would be [I]that[/I] much more work, and take more time to do, and wouldn't even achieve anything. #3 you'd most likely never get too close to tell what guns the citizens are carrying, or really even care if you did.
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;39552582]It sounds hard, but are you thinking about actually being able to see Gordon's hand pick up stuff instead of seeing the object float infront of you? It was one of the major things that bugged me in half life.[/QUOTE]
this was sort of in a source mod called Grey, when you picked something up it showed his hands reaching out to grab it. it didn't work too well though because the animation was the same for all props and items, so it'd look like you were picking up a sheet of metal by grabbing it in the midsection or like you were lifting up a heavy metal chair with one hand

A few skins or bodygroups for world models might help increase variation, the same weapons except maybe some will be really dirty, while others are clean, some may have a makeshift stock, others may have a strap.

And maybe they're all just skins for the SMG or Pulse Rifle so you can still retrieve ammo from them.
I don't like the idea, but it would probably be okay-ish. The problem is you don't know what they're skins of.

Are you serious
How can you not know what they're skins of, really
They're not new models, they're basically a different color scheme

Textures are the most expensive part of stuff like this. Having 3 variations of the same gun in 1024 (or 2048 if its gunna be all hd) with specular maps (necissary since spec generally carrys most of the detail for hard surface) adds a huge amount to the budget. Do that for a few guns and you're just going nuts :P
Modelled difference though, that'd be nice.

Would it be for the SMG or the Pulse Rifle?
That's what I'm getting at.

After all the times I've played through HL2, the last thing I've done is stop and look at the NPC's guns. It sounds like a complete waste of time.
[QUOTE=DigitalySane;39550939]Nah, The only thing i think that would of been nice in episode two that there wasn't is more portal storms than the one at the beginning.[/QUOTE]
There was at least one more, it causes the bridge at the abandoned rebel base to partially collapse.
[QUOTE=ojcoolj;39552964]Except the MP7 they use is hysterically bad in real life terms, hardly efficient[/QUOTE]
Imo the Combine MP7 is just a mass produced spray weapon intended for issue to anyone who doesn't have an AR2 or Shotgun, and to CP's who need more firepower but aren't trained to handle heavy weapons. After all, the Combine's main enemy on Earth are soft fleshy humans usually engaged at close range.

I'm pretty sure he's showing off the AS engine so we get an idea of how it will effect HL2.
Maybe it's because I am the main coder of the mod. And I got permission to make Nightmare House 2 part of the Co-Op campaign.

[QUOTE=highvoltage;39538352]I did a crude model hack a few years ago with the bottom part of the combine mask, here is how it looked on one of the citizens:

Mind this was just me testing the idea and I never added straps or got past simply hacking it on.
I think the idea would good as long as its used sparingly and not appear on the majority of the citizens you come across.

Not to mention CPs are just regular humans and remain unaltered unlike combine soldiers, if I'm not mistaken.
CP's have to undergo memory replacement if they're to get a higher rank, though, but a majority of them are still unprocessed humans who joined on their own decision.

It's not going to be in [I]this[/I] mod, but it's going to be in the rest of [I]his[/I] mod, which we've merged with the HL2 part of.
