i understand that but I hope we see more Combinations or it will be boring.

**(rot)(fodder** · 03-03-10, 17:49

seeing as the devs said there is a good chance that you won't find the same face twice, it would appear that even if they DID use face a, chin c, (which I highly doubt they do) there will be enough face a-z's that you probably won't notice them being reused too much.

but as I said above, I seriously doubt that is their method as everything else the youtard said was just hot air.

**X_Mastershot_X** · 03-03-10, 17:50

Ok. Thanks and i'm looking for it at the wiki now.

Edit: man! i am forgetting. I was going to ask if we were able to use TOWs .. you get the point

**~~mattemuse~~** · 03-03-10, 17:51

it looks accurate to me

Looks like he either cant count to 4, or doesn't know the alphabet; I wouldn't take him seriously...

Most of the comments on youtube is misguided information. People assume things from either what they hear or see, but they do not confirm the information by checking an official source.

HL2 characters where used as temp characters until we could grasp how to implement many unique faces ingame. Hence, the character creation system was made after the trailer. More information on the character creation system and how it works can be obtained on the wiki, here.

The commenter implies blending between pre-existing faces is a bad thing, but I beg to differ. This way not only allows us to estimate what the characters will look like ingame but also guarantee the face generated will look human. It is simple and effective, why go anymore complex?

We are not using a re-skinned hl2 pistol.
Half-Life 2 Pistol
BM Pistol

We are not using a re-skinned hl2 crossbow
Half-Life 2 Crossbow
BM Crossbow

The crowbar and 357 are re-skinned.
The 357 has new animations as well.

The HL2 crossbow looks like it shoots some sort of crazy glowing metal rod and is battery-powered. The BM crossbow looks like a realistic small bolt-shooting crossbow. What is the reason for the alterations?

**X_Mastershot_X** · 03-03-10, 18:39

Bm's one looks very beautiful. Valve needs 2 learn from you.Even if they are making a weird crosbow.

We are remaking HL1 not HL2.

The HL1 crossbow was more of a dark gun and so we resembled ours as such.

I wonder what the fuck Valve was thinking with that weird crossbow.

"Lets make something cool, geeky that looks like it is made by science, and powerful"

You fire a molten bolt of steel into your victim. The shit is sweet.

They probably wanted it to look futuristic, rather than plain and boring.

Damn ninja'd.

**Ibanez** · 03-03-10, 18:54

it's superheated rebar. I think it's supposed to look futuristic and piecemeal at the same time, like it was made by the rebels. The battery is probably used to heat the rebar or something. I dunno. And rebar can be found anywhere, so...

**Mr. Someguy** · 03-03-10, 23:45

Pretty much what they said. It's an improvised weapon made out of junk parts and shoots pieces of rebar that has been heated by the battery on the bottom.

The technology you had 6 years ago is not the same as technology you have today, hence a mod with the anticipation and professionalism that black mesa has is expected to rise above a 2004 game's graphics.

I am not interested in seeing you or other people in front of a PC creating faces with it.

I'm, not sure, what your, point, is.

The way he wrote it was also correct.
