Half-Life 2 - Vanilla vs. Tactical vs. MMod vs. Redux - Weapons Comparison 

Tactical: NO-no-no-no-no-...

*N O*

NO NO NO

NO

Fun fact: When i've seen the Redux mod, i thought it was a mod that stole the MMod animations, but i was wrong af and it was actually a re-texture mod for MMod

What's wrong with it

@@Th2WolF Mostly echo, if honestly

They did the rocket launcher best... that's pretty much it though.

Th3WolF because fat nerds who are obsessed whit military love it.

give it a break,its old

*but. we are better.*

Vanilla, MMod and Redux, even though in my opinion I dont like Redux: But... But we are.

tactical looks cheap compared to them. even the Rocket launcher and Combine rifle didn't changed their animations

МАЙНКРАААААААААААФТ!!!!!!!!!!!

You fucking what? Mmod and Redux look like totally different games. Tactical mod is actually mostly faithul to Valve like viewmodel animations in similar way opposing force and blueshift/hd models in HalfLife one tend to be tho just like HD models shotgun tactical mod also has insanely annoying sound for the pumping. I hate hd mode spas for that in HL1.

@@Kacpa2 you heard of a comma,a period maybe? HD back was by Gearbox.

redux has the exact same animations but higher quality models

but some of the sounds are broken

@@sadcat1565 I feel like the gameplay changes implemented in Mmod make it a better choice overall. But redux is the king when it comes to graphics

@@keiskay personally im not quite a fan of mmods changes. :/

@@theneed5037 I like bullets being real projectiles but it's not for everyone

I agree

Redux is better for me. If they fix the explosions

Redux and MMod had the same type of weapons just the Redux deign is so damn cool and shinny But MMod still okay because is the same as the vanilla weapons

mmod is better than redux cuz redux ruins whole atmosphere of a game it fells other and that makes it bad

Except the shotgun. Nothing beats the original shotgun.

I would say the edit is more of a fun fact then the actual thing but it’s not confirmed so...

@@dwayne1625 look up one of his old half life 1 mmod videos on youtube, you should find it. Sadly forgot what video it is

Wait wait, HL1 has mmod?

@@masterzoroark6664 Yeah

Ulysses From what Im guessing Redux is broken now so the only thing that is superior is the model

Animations are made by MrBrightside and Hyper.

I do like its take on the grenade, but I must dock some points for the missing AR2 altfire chargeup sound.

@@wonghenry8731 Note, this "Redux" mod we were talking about isn't the same as the unfinished "Redux" mod from MrBrightside and Hyper. This one was developed by someone else and uses a different weapon animation.

I don't like them, some look too different from the original

Imo, hl2 was the best but hl2 looks jacky and shitty

Your opinion is objectively wrong, of course hl2 is the best.

Yeah dude, hl2 made hl2 looks luke shit.

Well, obviously anyone with any sense of taste and style would prefer hl2 over hl2, hl2 or hl2. I mean, really, unless you're a child who prefers hl2, clearly hl2 is the best.

Why do I understand that in my mind, at least from my opinion it went a little like "it was close, but Mmod definitely won, but redux came very close to winning, but I must say that tactical didn't stand a chance."

Smod: Tactical back in the day was pretty good imo.

@@francesboy2 It doesn't look that way

Idk it ain't that bad

The pistol sounds are cancer

They sound like they have a silencer on them

HEY, NO NEED TO BE A NEGATIVE GUY

the sounds more realistic than HL2 vanilla except the USP pistol

@@daegnaxqelil2733 the animations look super scuffed,they're somehow worse than HDTF

@@sillyfella2009 NOTHING IS WORSE THAN HDTF

You forgot your passport???

YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT YOUR PASSPORT, GORDON!

Hello Gordon

Pick up that can And throw in the trash can

Look Gordon, a rope!

The forbidden scuffed SEGA games sold from tiny retail stores. ;D

Redux are ready free

Overused ;-;

@@new_guy1w Bruh, the only video on your channel is "I got Rick Rolled Lol." ;-;

@@alcatrazthatguyontheintern1465 not anymore

Which is thanks to the battery mounted on the underside of the crossbow

Check the hacksmiths video, they did it irl.

I mean if you wanna add to it, it fire an unsharpened bolt that pins people to walls, imagine how much that must hurt.

And it's rebar! Pulling it out will only wound you further.

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.

Mmod bencede gerçekçi ama biraz daha eklemeye ihtiyacı var

@@kemaltheunbeaten MMod da gerçekçi göstermek için recoili(geri tepme)yi aşırı arttırmışlar fakat bu biraz abartı olmuş.Mesela project realityde silahı kullandıkça tepmesi azalıyordu;bu eklenirse güzel olur.

@@muffinman2546 game logic

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

Arjac True, but damn is the mmod pulse rifle so damn satisfying to use. I can forgive the inaccuracy.

Ooh I loved weapon mods for stalker, still remember how i played ogse just before my exams, lol

You mean a muzzle flash?

Looks towards the back right of the shotgun during the pump animation.

*laughs in crowbar*

It sounds like they slowed down the gravity gun sounds to make the gravity gun in tactical and i sucks

let it be bruh its an old mod

Where else are you gonna hold them

When you pull the pin of a grenade, it isn't immediately live; it is only when the 'spoon' flies off that the grenade is live.

@@kinoshasecurity5515 apparently not in half life. once you pull the pin if you dont throw it for long enough it will explode in your hand

@@chase1146 Limitations of the time. IRL grenades are not live until the spoon is ejected from the shell which triggers the primer.

@@kinoshasecurity5515 which is why i said in half life. as in in the game.

This is what happens when a 'tactical' mod tries to make the guns seem more 'Combine'.

the funny thing is that the sounds are from quake's 4 blaster

That's a classic silenced pistol sound effect but got edited.

that's a failure of sound design

@@hoppinggnomethe4154 Sounds like a flashbang

that's the sound from Quake, yup buddy, you are wrong.

@@namelessguy933yeah, it is indeed the blaster from quake 4. It does sound suppressed tho, and he is right about the shotgun audio not being synced. So he isn’t completely wrong.

I also like that about the pulse rifle

But then again, what is the purpose of a big ass magazine if one capsule can be fired 30 times?

Влад Григорьев to carry more 30 round cells

@@SyberianVG as Sinstar stated. You have 30 rounds per cell, with roughly 50 cells for example. Means you could have 1500 rounds in one magazine. So you don't have carry huge ammo boxes around for supply.

@@anidiot2818 makes sense, yet still, doesn't translate into gameplay whatsoever. Shame.

Because apparently a compensator is a silencer in that idiot's eyes

Redux is just a skin pack for MMod developed by Juniez and Shadow_Run. It's an addon for MMod, rather than a seperate mod all together. You can download the Redux weapons here... gamebanana.com/members/1389410

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

Oh bull. Tactical 9mm is absolutely awful

@@Valfothr yeah, the pistol and the smg in the tactical sound ass

the animation in the mod looks awesome but its not the way how it really works. your right

I still prefer the mod, tho.

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!??!

@@lunarfrost its because the NPC still uses the animation for the old AR2 Aka assault rifle-looking AR2

@@sireawfulthe1st291 now we can see how Valve is lazy

to be fair, firing two shells at once in a single barrel shotgun isn’t realistic to begin with

Pretty sure that's just there to keep tradition from hl:1

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.

It's just MMod with weapon skins.

@Daddynnoob No, it's Mmod, but better looking

@@AlissonSilva-ox4uz worse*

That's because Redux is a collection of skins for MMod developed by Juniez and Shadow_Run. It's not it's own separate mod, just a couple of addons.

@@foxyy2566 Graphically talking, YES

oh so it's just an even uglier skin set then. I wonder what the non-redux version of your comment looks like then

@@SpookyBees holy shit you killed him

@@SpookyBees you're a kind soul, practicing mercy like that

i don't understand what's wrong with redux

Personally I love it.

You don't really notice it when you're moving

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.

lol

the sound for the vanilla hl2 shotgun is too fast

That mod was literally made in 2006, cut it some slack.

*_and then 'Half Life: Alyx' shows how it's canon_*

Wait real shit?

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.

@@Casto3924 in the original gordon just slaps the bolt onto the crossbow

Nib you missed a lot

Mmod did that to

Agreed.

you didn't see the gravity gun in tactical XD

Just so you know Redux is an additional reskin made specifically *_for_* MMod.

Mostly because it feels good.

because.. it most definitely does have recoil? big object fly out, gun go backwards. its not a rocket launcher

@@hawkbird6294 I've fired the m203 and m320. The recoil was not that violent.

Yeah, even the base game got this right. Gun mounted grenade launchers don't have any punch.

Probably because it would feel too strange to have no recoil in a game, wouldn't feel right.

Goldfish_Vender wtf are u talking about my man?

@@risk_theagentboy161 Idk what kind of explosions you've seen, but the ones from mmod are not realistic, they are just for show.
