After playing Alyx I’m still not sure how it works lol. You could reload in HL2 and what Alyx was using was most definitely a proto-pulse rifle. Why can Alyx not reload? Because she doesn’t have a hopper? That doesn’t make sense but it’s the closest you can get to reloading the Alyx era Pulse Rifle.
@@reidhanson4755 Yeah... You can definitely see that both HL2's & HL:Alex's pulse rifles has the same reloading mechanism except you can reload any time in HL2 without emptying the first pulse round first & the reloading is the same by the account that it disengages the pulse round that's in use but in HL2, it literally injects the next pulse-round for you & both HL2 & HL:A has the same magazine system for pulse rounds. - So. HL2 pulse rifles can eject half-used pulse rounds whilst HL:Alex's pulse rifle can't & apart from the massive energy ball being shot from HL2's pulse rifle & HL2's sturdier frame, both are exactly the same. - It makes sense that Alex can't reload a half-used round because the Combine only improved upon it's design up to HL2. Imagine this _absolutely _*_volatile_* pulse-round like a mini-nuclear-reactor just being prematurely ejected before it's dangerous substances were drained & your hand just fuckin explodes or at least gets burned off. Because it definitely IS a _radio-active-like_ volatile substance of which it's energy gets PUNCHED out multiple times by the gun's mechanism. - Long story short, for obvious reasons, by terms that *_tries_* to explain a fucking sci-fi gun, you can't just eject a volatile pulse-round without depleting it of it's energy. Go to any nuclear-reactor like Chernobyl's reactor and let them explain to you why you can't just YEET a reactor control rod out. smh

Redux has some nice models and textures but they look like they're from a different game. Honestly kinda reminds me of cinematic mod, or if HL2 was made in UE4 or something. I think it's because the color pallet is so dark compared to mmod.
"Tactical" looks like any other mods from good ol' days when people only had enthusiasm and no more, for that time it looks clunky, but fresh and new, it brings me good memories about s.t.a.l.k.e.r. mods, it brings warm into my heart.
There exists a real-life built rebar crossbow. In the game, the rebar wasn't even supposed to fly all that straight of a line + it's glowing hot rebar that bends whilst it's flying on it's magical journey. But one thing's for certain. It can be lethal & painful as it punctures through your body and it technically can pin you to walls if it's still glowing hot & pierced your arm clean through, hitting the wall.
I always disliked when mods changed the pulserifle animation. I prefer the 30shots per capsule, because it feels more like the alien weapon it's supposed to be, but also thought it works different then normal weapons with their magazines. In HL Alyx the pulse smg also fire 30 shots per capsule. I think the capsules are like batteries, that last for their amount of shots.

The tactical mod is just, ew... Sure, it reskins the weapons to make them look militaristic but the only real changes to the actual weapons are slight animation tweaks and "new" sounds(that totally aren't ripped from another game!)
Live grenades dont explode when the pin is pulled. the lever needs to be removed so the striker goes off, which he does in game. he pulls the pin and primes it. when it is thrown, that is when it is able to be thrown- wait why am i even doing this, for godsake *You have a living potato flying around* in hl2:ep2
I believe the AR2 in MMOD and Redux is outdated after Half Life: Alyx, since we saw how the SMG in HL:A works. Both the AR2 and the SMG uses ammunition called Powercells (or call it pulse ammo). They do not act like individual bullets but like magazines (it reminds me of fallout), each having 30 rounds in them.
But how can you have 2 cells as reserve when you have box that cab hold a hundred of them, not only that, but some Resistance NPC's reload by just removing the whole thing and replace it with a new one HHMMMMM!??!
I like how the SMG was modded to make the grenade launcher some what realistic with the pump action but when it came to the shotgun and it shooting two shells at once there's was no attempt at all.
They could easily "fix" it by making it shoot really quick two round burst. Still dumb but makes more sense than the double barrel Spas 12 because no one has the gut to tell Valve that the magazine tube is not a secondary barrel
And let's not forget about pumping it again at the end of the reload animation WASTING a shell. But in the end it's a no issue thing. Just a game and the amount of work and love all these modders put towards these is great. Love the Source modding community.
Kinda makes no sense for the pulse rifle in the mmod. Combine having far more advanced technology than humanity, it’s more logical for combine to pack an entire magazine into the single pulse rifle capsule, rather than 1-1 shooting an ejecting just like real firearms. Lore from HL: Alyx confirms it
One of the things I noticed when replaying Half-Life 2 again was how well the weapon animations hold up. Just about all of the animations in Half-Life 2 flow great. The guns aren't flying all over the screen as your hand shake violently being possessed by the tension, but they're elegant and weighty.
As to Pulse rifle: OG used one plug per 30 shots, but question appears why you can carry so little ammo, and why when you take ammo from crate you take couple boxes of it. MMod changed that so each plug is one shot and you need to replace whole structure. It's even more apparent in idle animations in MMod.
It's manual because it makes sense. You can't really see any auto-cocking mechanism anywhere on crossbow model. Or maybe it cocks thanks to Gordon pushing it back with the bolt.
Pulse gun judgment: Vanilla: Static plug. Tactical: More streamlined, and still a static plug. The blue is a nice touch. MMod: The glow when firing a plasma sphere was good. The fact that plugs were being used like bullets was... understandable, but these are basically 30-in-1 energy bullets, not typical pistol rounds. You don't need to eject used plugs... or do those mags eject used plugs like Half-Life: Alyx? Redux: Again, these are basically energy bullets. The design looks incredible, though. Why is the mag shaped like that if these are so compact of ammunition? Probably to collect the used plugs to be recharged.
This Battery is supposed to hold 30 shots, as it is seen in both Half Life 2 and Half Life: Alyx. But Modders did not seem to like that at all, apparently.
Vanilla: no shit, it's the normal game Tactical: An okay animation overhaul and adds some nice guns, it's old so you can't complain too much MMOD: A great animation overhaul with improved effects and gameplay Redux: in many ways, its like MMOD, just with some custom viewmodels.

Why tf did the crowbar echo like that swinging and hitting nothing but air? xD More like Tactical trash. Nice vid tho. I think MMOD and Vanilla overall took the cake.

Tactical has great grenade explosions, MMod as the most consistent roster (and also the best shotgun), and Redux has the best sounding magnum
None of them know how the pulse gun works apparently...
Or the shotgun...
I don't really like MMod pulse rifle. I always thought the small thing is an entire clip and finding the big thing as ammo clips is dev oversight.
This Battery is supposed to hold 30 shots, as it is seen in both Half Life 2 and Half Life: Alyx.
But Modders did not seem to like that at all, apparently.
the pulse rifle doesn't works like that...
Vanilla RPG: *Booms* in echo....
Tactical: BOOOOOMMM
MMOD: Buff...
Redux:
i like mmod the best, it adds cooler animations and sounds while keeping the vanilla look to the guns.
Vanilla: no shit, it's the normal game
Tactical: An okay animation overhaul and adds some nice guns, it's old so you can't complain too much
MMOD: A great animation overhaul with improved effects and gameplay
Redux: in many ways, its like MMOD, just with some custom viewmodels.
I like what Mmod and Redux does with the Pulse Rifle but with the AR1 from Half Life: Alyx, the animation feels wrong to me
Both mmod and redux Gordon are holding the grenade completely wrong!! Who the hell made such a stupid mistake modeling the grenade?
Why does the tactical use the quake 4 pistol sound
Look at the Gman standing out there: Im BeCoMiNg BoReD oF YoUr ShEnAnIGaNs DoCtOr FrEe-MaN
15:00 Wtf?
Tactical was trynna be too extra and sounded bad too. Like a college kid having a whole camo setup. Lmao
Vanilla: Basic but alright
MMod: Realistic
Redux: Military serious and shit
Tactical: cLAnkY
If there's one thing I'm glad about it's that Redux and MMod's Pulse Rifle actually kinda make sense
*_and then 'Half Life: Alyx' shows how it's canon_*
Wait real shit?
The sound for the tactical shotgun seems a bit delayed
the sound for the vanilla hl2 shotgun is too fast
Really? all 3 of the mods remove the fun little revolver spin in the reload animation? That's my favorite part :
It became an inspect animation in MMod. Reload while full, and you'll see
i never played half life and im watching this lol, great video btw
Nib you missed a lot
@@michailryzhov6632 i know

mmmm that redux grenade looks soo good.
Mmod is like a goddess amongst other mods
4:24 For MMOD AR2.
The firing animation actually makes sense now.
*THE PLASMA CAPS ARE ACTUALLY BEING RELOADED INTO THE FIRING CHAMBER AFTER EACH SHOT, AND THE MAGAZINE ISN'T JUST FOR SHOW*
Pulse rifle in mods: have bullet shells))
I see alot of fights breaking out between mmod and redux, but I'm glad to see one thing is agreed upon: We can all shit on tactical
_see's tactical_
*look at how they massacred my boy*
That mod was literally made in 2006, cut it some slack.
4:26 4:51 I don't know why the Pulse-Rifle's dark energy cells work like cartridges in MMod and Redux instead of being magazines. Can you guys tell me, please?
why are people talkin trash bout Tactical? it seems fine. this has effort
I don't like how MMod and Redux reload their AR2. They just scrap the entire mag instead of the dark energy core doodads just getting replaced. Gotta make that third-person reload animation make sense! (despite the fact Valve reuses the scrapped assets from another gun...)
Why tf did the crowbar echo like that swinging and hitting nothing but air? xD More like Tactical trash. Nice vid tho. I think MMOD and Vanilla overall took the cake.
Mmod did that to
the thing for me about animation is how much they change the *feel* of that weapon, a pistol from HL2 just feels more kicky and sturdy with a more serious or as shown, tactical animation than with it's original animations, and same can be said to other weapons
MMod looks better for me
the redux gravity gun looks like it's straight out of the black mesa research facility
The tactical explosions are the best. MMod has better guns and sounds tho.
Goldfish_Vender wtf are u talking about my man?
@@risk_limao Idk what kind of explosions you've seen, but the ones from mmod are not realistic, they are just for show.
alternate title: freeman shoots at the sky in different universes
wait a minute.. there is G-MAN @ 1:09 o_O
I actually like Tactical. Try not to get mad.
Die
Jk
Ok
Wow! Something nobody asked for! Look at me i'm so original and cool!
