Half-Life 2 - Overcharged vs. MMod vs. MMod Reanimated - Weapons Comparison 

Yeah shame valve didn't think this through with the magazine system, should have made it that after reloading a certain amount of pulse "slugs" you change the whole magazine

@@DirtyPlays i mean, if new half life will have vr, then they will probably add this mechanic

They are simply preferences, for me the reloads of the original looked a bit silly, I did not agree that there were 30 bullets in a single cartridge that have the size of a thumb but you would run out of ammo in the third "container", I mean, why all that spacious cartridge if you could only shoot 3 containers? That always seemed silly to me, it's okay that the combines were very advanced, but if they literally didn't have the technology to be able to teleport on the same planet, the idea of ​​"containers" with 30 bullets seems silly to me

MMod came out before HLA, and frankly I really like this reloading animation as it makes more sense, and while I like the pellet idea, it was done much better in HLA than HL2. Either way, from a headcanon standpoint, you can pretend that the MMod version is just a different model of the Pulse Rifle.

@@keriwabiwabo4768 They can teleport between dimensions, I think they can make energy bullets just fine lol

one of the few big brain overcharged moments.

Thank you for explaining this.

The smg of reanimated looks more like the original gun but hd

No

And animations. Most importantly animations. Overcharge and reanimated feel so tryhard its frustrating

While I respect your opinion, I dont think being close to original is equals better. But both reanimated MMod and normal MMod are preety good.

Understandable

Meh, it feels too artificial in my eyes, while the others feel a lot more grounded to reality

Same here. MMod Reanimated still holds to its vanilla counterpart but took step further to make weapon sounds and animations more distant for my playstyle for HL2.

@Bubbie Cry about it

@Bubbie cope

I love it because it reminds me a lot of HL1's weapon sounds, they were so punchy and heavy

I will play the Half Life remake Black Mesa first, and then next, I will play the Half-Life 2 Remaster Half Life 2 MMOD Reanimated, 2 remakes of the 2 Half Life games!

The AR2's mag is indeed wrong in MMOD but I think it makes more sense considering the design of the gun. I don't have a problem with the fact that one of those plugs can hold 30 rounds, I mean it's a Sci-Fi weapon it might aswell but that means each of these plugs is an entire magazine. That means that this big box on the gun is holding new magazines and that's a pretty big box so why can it only carry a total of 3 spare mags? That always bugged me so this makes more sense design wise. Edit: Especially because in the original if you shoot the AR2 empty it still has a brand new magazine lined up but you can't use it for some reason.

Time stamp?

i hear this after you said that

Isn't the Overcharged AR2 more lore accurate than both MMOD and MMOD Reanimated?

@@NoNameTaken117 maybe but i feel the MMod one more "stock"

@@Bsc8 Ah I could see that

I feel like mmod was going for a much more classic hl2 experience but only with better looking models and animations

One could easily excuse that by saying it has some sort of automatic pulley mechanism in it. Considering how tech savvy the Resistance is, it's not too far fetched to assume they were able to make a self cocking crossbow

@@dannyboi5887 That sounds about right

@@dannyboi5887 could be some sort of tension thingy, I'm not sure but it seems plausible

@@dannyboi5887 that's actually canon. In the concept art it's mentioned that the Crossbow uses a mechanism that retracts the bow to the shooting position.

how do you even put the reanimated one in the steam library? couldn't figure it out.

Yeah, so like the whole magazine contain about 300 bullets and you swap it only when it's totally empty. For me the proof of this theory is in HL: Alyx, where even a small pulse smg can squeeze out about 20 shots from one cell and have about 3 cells without and upgrade. But these animations are still very cool and also headcanon: AR2 is so much powerful than these smg's that it extracts all the power from one cell for one shot.

The fact that you can only have 60 reserve ammo from a magazine full of cells makes 0 sense though.

@@tanybrachid Game balance.

Ok

You could probably get a mod on game banana that changes it

@@diffydude9083 yeah probably, but not likely.. not a lot of Gmod work on FPS banana and, when it comes to Gmod things it seems like people don't really care that much for whatever reason.. mostly probably because a lot of these origins default real close to the screen.. they are a bitch to work with and a lot of it's not necessarily their fault, so much as the difference is in Bones being merged with the chand system.. the actual problem is not accounting for a few different kinds or variance when working on a mod.. which isn't really a problem, that's kind of ridiculous to expect LOL, but obviously some of the the workarounds are are ridiculous no matter what.. you see a lot of ms ncredible going on.. As for these guys these arms are more of an issue with this specific implementation.. I've used the fews arms on this particular pack and it's almost like they were made for it, and they probably were made for something similar in the the whole development history.. these gloves are a brand new thing, and they do work absolutely, there's just some scaling problems that are kind of glove specific actually.. you can only do so much with the scaling without screwing up everybody else's arms back, especially non gloved arms.. there is a sweet spot to be had but it's, it's it's one that nobody's ever really hit well not many people anyways.. actually these are pretty close to a good sweet spot for the hand parts, even if I don't really like the way they were compiled.. I don't hate the way they were compiled LOL, and it's definitely workable, even within the Lua system it's just very.. it's very different I guess, and has a lot of compatibility issues with other things.. I'm going to actually take another crack at working on the shoulder, I've already fixed the pistol the shotgun actually I fixed everything pretty much.. except for the crossbow which I just didn't bother with cuz it just wasn't really, I mean they didn't really bother with it either and for good reason LOL. Fix the texture issue as well with the rocket launcher, I'm working on fixing the actual implementation but that's a code issue that I'm having trouble with.. this is so that the actual helicopters will attempt or recognize the rockets as rockets, which is hard to do on their end cuz it's hard to add things to Half-Life 2 c++ files in Garry's mod in the online sense it really is quite frowned upon you can't upload it to the workshop and on the server and they're supposed good and bad reasons why there's some serious restrictions on that and why it's complicated to disseminate it.. but I'm working on it LOL I think it's I think it can be done. As for the arms, within the Lua system.. as long as you don't mind doing some weird stuff that's going to take a very long time with the upper shoulders area or the upper arm really in this case and in most cases.. that's where the the biggest problems lie because they just weren't considered in the port and instead they were adjusted around an origin, which is I mean shit that's the way valve did it LOL which really is annoying.. but by themselves using these or like fews arms they're fine for the most part, but you start adding like the insurgency or the c LED arms or basically anything with the shoulder it ends up having a fun mismatch which is fine just something to take into account so you have to actually position the right arm correctly and the left arm correctly in the upper since we're normally you can just not care.. because they won't show up anyways.. except for around less you know you have arms that are designed to you know be seen and used like arms in real life instead of valve arms.

Also the AR2's functionality. Overcharged gets it spot on as that's how pulse is defined to work in HL Lore, a single cell firing multiple rounds, but both versions of MMod kinda screw it up as while, yes it makes more practical sense, that's not how pulse works Huge Combine Nerd and this is my biggest pet peeve with MMod lol

@@Taggynn I generally picture the Pulse Rifle's mechanism this way: Multiple plugs (I portray it to be around 5 or 6, but there's only 2 in-game) in a single magazine, each one capable of firing exactly 30 dark energy pulses. When one is depleted, another is loaded automatically. If there are no more remaining, you change the magazine.

@@alviniusthegreat that's exactly how it works, though the magazines more closely hold 8-10 pucks.

@@Taggynn I figured they'd hold more than 6 but eh.

@@Taggynn Nah, it actually should hold 2 or 3, because it has auto loading mechanism that must take a lot of space in that magazine

The overcharged sweps have already been ported over

@@DeepfriedChips ok

What about snpcs?

Just search it on Google.

Most half life mods have the same installation, you need to have hl2,ep1,ep2,lc and source SDK bases all on the same drive and then put the mod folder you want to play in your sourcemods folder and lastly restart Steam

@@romanez7837 ok thank you very much

Yeah, even though MMod Reanimated kept some of the vanilla counterparts to the base game but it heavily took step further to make the game more distant that sort of fits the Half Life style in my opinion.

naah, i love mmod animated and the normal mmod

personally I dont care if it fits half life or not I care more about if the reloads are satisfying/well animated and not vanilla half life 2 reloads bad

@@ver5549 yeah, it doesn't really change gameplay after all. however they added like tooooo much weapons.

Only goes for some base weapons. The rest is just a mess

It already came out

Its called: project mmod
