I hate fighting striders and gunships. They are programmed to not miss.
Maybe its because I played on Medium but I never had trouble with striders or gunships
[QUOTE=Justjake274;39457704]The one strider down the long hallway in the Citadel was a bitch.
So many missed energy ball shots... The moment you went out of cover it pulsed your ass up, especially on hard[/QUOTE]That fucker always crouched under my shots.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;39453034]Has always been?

Oh wait, rechecked the original. Guess I can't really see the difference in red and orange :v:

[QUOTE=Gate;39453661]this is happening to me in most maps, HDR doesnt fix it, nor does the mat_fullbright 0 command. anybody knows how to fix this?[/QUOTE]
In console type: mat_hdr_level 2 then type mat_fullbright 0 then reload your last save.
Alternatively add +mat_hdr_level 2 to your launch properties in the steam library and you won't have to do the above every time you play.

You don't need to fight it, you can just run away into that little hall thingy.
That's what I did.
Anyone else having trouble installing Blue Shift Unlocked? I decided to pick up Blue Shift again but stopped as soon as I saw the orange hud.

Which little hall thingie? I spent at least 20 minutes trying to kill that fucker on my last playthrough.
There's a space right next to the Strider, I believe it's the place you're supposed to go after you kill the Strider. I'm pretty sure it's not blocked off, so you can just slip right down into it.
I'll look for a video.
Here it is, at 7:15. If you're speedy, you can hop in there without interacting with the Strider and taking a bit of damage.

[QUOTE=Joazzz;39463711]you mean the one blocked by the forcefield?[/QUOTE]
The forcefield that can be disabled without interacting with the Strider.
Just run up to it and zap the balls away like your dick is on fire.

That's what I did, is there another way to do it?
[QUOTE=TectoImprov;39464472]That's what I did, is there another way to do it?[/QUOTE]
Do it [I]after[/I] killing the Strider, which is a totally unnecessary task.
It didn't really enter my mind that I wasn't supposed to kill the strider when I played that part.
One less horror in the world.
[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;39463733]The forcefield that can be disabled without interacting with the Strider.

[editline]4th February 2013[/editline]
and killing the strider is not unnecessary if you're slow and don't want to have a giant tripod war machine blasting away at you while you desperately spam Mouse 1 trying to hit the energy balls in the power core
You mean just run screaming through the level avoiding everything like a pussy? Pffft.
not sure what's the deal with that strider
yes, it will duck and avoid the orb, but immediately after you shoot one, just aim the others down where it's going to duck to, repeat when it stands up
Absolutely hated that bit on my first play through. The strider seemed to have infinite health, I fired so many energy balls. After it killed me, I just went "Fuck it" and sprinted past it.
It'd be awesome if this project could be like an open beta, where we can play it as stuff gets added, and receive updates regularly

wait this isn't the hl2 enhancement mod thread, help
Speaking of the citadel, a scanner would always smack into me during the first stalker pod ride.
If they don't re-release Raising the Bar with a big updated section for Half Life 3, they are missing out on a mountain of money and a mountain of satisfied customers. I'm sure everyone would love to read about all the behind the scenes stuff it has gone through since Episode 2 came out.
I would love to get Raising the Bar without having to pay a fortune for it
I'm glad I got one before they become so rare
Half-Life 1 and Counter-Strike 1.6 BETA updated
We have released an update to the beta for both games, fixes include:
-Fixed keyboard options dialog showing incorrect key names on non-QWERTY keyboards
-Fixed crash when typing in certain unicode characters
-Fixed voice chat sometimes not transmitting properly
-Allowed the toggleconsole command to be properly rebound
