I don't remember this correctly but i'll try, this is just a theory though, don't know if it's canon to the game The combine's source of power is called "dark energy", supposedly energy of a negative mass. The idea is when an entity of negative mass meets with a real mass, some kind of scientific thing happens and boom, the object of contact "disintegrates" This means,as the ar2 is powered by this dark energy, its pulse fire slowly chips/disintegrates small chunks of the position hit, and its alternate fire sends out a more dense dark energy, thus disintegrating the enemy as a whole. However, when gordon went into that weapons confiscation reactor, the combine used the same energy to remove the weapons by disintegrating it, and this works because weapons have real mass(i don't know why people aren't affected but let's ignore that). This is when the reactor meets gravity gun, aka Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator. The gravity guns works because of this "zero point field", (which in the game's scientific lore) contains a medium of zero energy. Zero energy=zero mass. When the supposedly dark energy of this negative mass meets with a medium of zero mass, the reaction was a multiplied/infinitely reacting reaction (i don't know the specifics), causing the gravity gun to become "supercharged" The strength becomes multiplied and it becomes blue (i don't know why, maybe it's because game logic, because in hl ep 1, the core of the dark energy is black/dark), and thus the super gravity gun is born.

Fun facts galore: 1:03 - it did eject empty casings in beta. 1:08 - it's the same worldmodel from HL1, just with new texture. 1:35 - look at these spent primers and empty casings he's loading! 2:00 - probably everybody knows about this at this point, but grenade launcher is a leftover from cut OICW. Speaking of leftovers, metrocops with SMG are using animations from cut MP5K, most notably during reloading.
3:43 - Grenade actually has two world models in HL2, a primed one called "w_grenade" from "weapons" folder, which is featured in the video, and an ammo pickup version with lever visibly attached, called "grenadeammo" from "items" folder. How did I not think about noting this three weeks ago is beyond me.
The pistol actually does ejects empty casings, it's just that its so hard to spot. If you look close at the reloading animation you can see the empty case fall out while Gordon quickly puts a new one in.
@@therealmemernet I think you have confused casings with magazines. In a way you're right, empty *magazine* does fall out during reloaring, but *casing* is that part of an ammo round that contains gunpowder and should fly out of an ejection port after each shot.
Only developer I know of with extensive knowledge on firearms is obsidian, but a lot of stuff dumbs down to "Its early 2000s monitors suck!" Which is probably why there isn't a speedloader, you cannot see it anyway. Or (why would I spend a few extra hours adding a secondary barrel to the shotgun, when I could spend it polishing the game?) Source is an infamously picky game to develop for, I've made stuff for it and I can tell you if you forgot one little thing its not worth going back for. Modern engines such as Unity, Unreal, and Cryengine, are much easier than source. Source was made in the era where most tasks were done by hand. As for gun knowledge I cannot name many game studios with people with knowledge on guns besides the basics. Rockstar knows the basics but reading wikis half the time they get the guns in the wrong place at the wrong time or gun laws ignored (You cannot easily buy automatic weapons, especially under 3000K a UZI is 14K in real life. Because its a transferable machine gun and iconic, despite how terrible it is.) Oh and Bethesda just guesses, the magazines for the hunting rifle enter through the sides for some reason.
Fun Facts: The 'chunky' worldmodel of the revolver is literally a retexture of the HL1 revolver worldmodel. The reason it's referred to as the 'AR2' is because there was an AR1 in the beta: an AK-47, no less. The AR2's model was originally used as a flare-gun-ish weapon, the Incendiary Rifle. And last but not least, the USP Match's viewmodel not only used for the pistol, but other 'unfinished weapons' in the HL2 leaks. Such as some iterations of the 'Physgun' (the old Gravity Gun) and... the Demoman's Sticky Launcher (it is unknown if the stickylauncher in TF2 was based on the HL2 stickylauncher, but they function pretty much identically).
Huh, I didn’t know that the HL2 357 worldmodel is actually the same model from HL1 with a different texture! That explains why it looks so comparatively “sloppy” compared to the others

Dániel Bedrossian I like to think they just modified the the tube to be a second barrel, that’s why the hl2 shotgun can only hold 6 rounds, part of the tube’s a barrel now
@@danielbedrossian5986 it's an extremely rare variant specifically commissioned by the Black Mesa facility, the reason it can only hold six rounds is because the ammo tube is replaced with the second barrel
3:17 in Gmod, when you try spawning a TF2 shotgun prop, it will have the HL2 Shotgun's textures smeared all over it, because of the fact they share file names.
4:07 The RPG in half-life has zero relation with the targeting system of the stinger, because the FM-92 Stinger uses infrared homing while the RPG in half-life uses semi-automatic command to line of sight, in short the Stinger flies towards “the strongest heat source” while the half-life RPG “rides a laser beam”.
chaigonjenkins yeah, I’m not extremely knowledgeable on Heavy Ballistics and such, but is the Half-Life “RPG” handling similar to what a real-life Wire-Guided Missile works like? Like the TOW, with the metal guide wire launched just before the rocket itself and directed by the operator
The Half Life 2 MMod does its best to try and fix a lot of the old issues with the animations and models and such to some extent. The Colt Python has a speed loader and actually-attached cylinder. the SPAS-12 simply fires two shots in semi-auto very rapidly, (Since the spas 12 can be either semi-auto or pump-action, that's one of the things unique about it) then pumps, and the MP7 gets the second barrel made larger, and Freeman pumps the foregrip to seemingly either eject what little of the grenade is left and/or load a new one into place for firing. It also fixes that bizarre thing with the AR2 being that you don't seemingly put any new ammo in and it just kinda reloads, instead having the base-game's reload animation be part of the firing ammunition, and that big old mag that wraps around the gun is actually removed and replaced
just got to black mesa east with the MMod and have been having a far better experience than without it. if anyone is readin this who hasn’t played HL2 with the MMod, do yourself a favor and install it, it’s so good
MMod is amazing. Fun fact: The fact that the SPAS-12 can be switched to semiautomatic was one of the key reasons it was (and still is) banned from import into the United States. It was a semiautomatic shotgun with a folding stock. So there are only around 1800-2000 SPAS-12's in the US. The SPAS-15 shared a similar fate, as less than 200 were ever imported legally.
I dont like how he reloads the ar2 in mmod tho, maybe in the future version where when all of those tiny bullets are gone you have to reload the entire mag of the ar2, so is much better

2:59 “in particular the Franchi SPAS-12”? The SPAS-12 was produced by Franchi so the only type of SPAS-12 is the Franchi SPAS-12.. Good video just thought that was worth mentioning.
2:28 when i hear AR3 i remember the guy from ep2 when you arrive to white forest which argues about AR3 being a thing. That scene was pretty amusing tbh. th-cam.com/video/XqLAway4TjE/w-d-xo.html
The AR2's core functionality is found in just 2 components; the Energy Cell and the Pin, the Pin just slams into the cell and a pellet/projectile come out the other side, why am I mentioning this? Well since the components are just mainly those 2 (ignoring the energy ball thing) you could imagine just how *compact* it could get without the unneeded clutter. Also the way it reloads, it just replaces the cell, it struck me as odd that it can only hold 60 or 2 cells in reserve when the (very detachable) magazine(?) can physically hold more. Imagine just holding the barrel part of the AR2 and continuously smashing a pin onto it. Also Half Life: Alyx Guns when?
Yeah, in the MMOD, the AR2 has a better depiction, with 1 cell = 1 projectile. You can see this in its animation where everytime the pin slams into the cell, the used cell is quickly ejected, and a fresh one is slid in. And instead of just replacing a single cell, the reload animation shows Gordon taking the entire magazine off, and replacing it with a new one.
Two things: 1- The AR2's receiver and stock kinda looks like that of a H&K G3 rifle. 2- No one's gonna mention how the crossbow's viewmodel has no grip?
HL2 Beta weapons are flare gun, ak47, sniper rifle and others. This video missed the Combine's Sniper Rifle however. Possibly because it wasn't seen by the player.
@@PrivateBryan Don't white knight. Correcting mistakes should be default for everyone, rather than the idiotic attempt at preserving precious fee fees that most people try.
It pains me in my soul when I use the pistol in game and see that sad looking fake hammer that just sits there literally solid with the frame like it's part of the polymer frame as one piece.
fun fact: in Episode Two, the Overwatch Sniper Rifle bears a striking resemblance to a Walther WA 2000. seeing how the combine (sometimes) uses normal guns (like the USP Match but MP7) but highly modified (MP7 looks different and is able to launch a grenade) i think that in canon it actually really is the Walther WA 2000 but heavily modified.
Perhaps so. Doesn't make sense for it to be a "grenade launcher" since the grenades are a lot bigger, but also doesn't make sense to be a second barrel on the SMG as it doesn't use it in-game, unless one barrel is used immediately after the other to double fire rate, though this ain't likely since the fire rate is pretty normal for an SMG. The prototype HK PDW doesn't have the second barrel either. Odd.
It's definitely a second barrel, meant to be some nonsensical built-in grenade launcher despite the grenades being much bigger and having seemingly no way of loading it. The Half Life 2 MMod tries to fix this a little by making the lower barrel a bit bigger and adding an animation of Freeman pumping the foregrip as a way of either ejecting whatever leftover brass there is, or simply readying the next grenade for use.
I think the .357 magnum having a chunky worldmodel is due to no npc's using it. The worldmodel is only seen when you pick it up, unlike something like the mp7, which both the combine and resistance use frequently.
Considering that, using a glitch you can get barney to drop you INFINITE crowbars (Although my highest was like 30 before the game crashed from the 500000 barrels that were duplicated in the process) he is absolutely a crowbar collector
3:49 They did that because (this is all a theory dunno if it's confirmed) the combine call them "extractors", so basically they're meant to flush people out of cover etc, thus the flashing light, and the long detonation time.
I always figured the crowbar you received from Barney was the one he used in Blue Shift. If he's a sentimental type of guy, which wasn't ever really established either way, Barney might've held onto the one thing that always saved him in a pinch during the Black Mesa Incident. Once Gordon came along, he knew Freeman could make better use with it than he ever could.
The smg has 2 barrels so that coukd justify the grenade launcher in game though there is no way to fit one in the gun The AR2 looks like a G3 or a Cetme rifle with a bodykit on the front and no magazine
I think that the SMG's grenade launcher fires grenade on the bottom barrel. Since the weapon has two barrels, I believe that the grenade launcher uses high explosive rounds the matches the same caliber of the SMG itself.
eeeeh. I mean even with combine tech the MP7 fires are rather small cartridge. 4.6x30mm. Next to nothing in terms of space for explosives let alone cause an explosion of the size of a frag grenade. Kind of a stretch to be fair.
Fun fact, the gravity gun was an aperture invention, thats why the portal gun shares some of its functionality and design. You can see it on the desk next to the portal gun in the Lab Rat comic
Why did you say that Garry's mod copied gravity gun from JBMod? JBMod Released 2 years ago. and G-Mod 18 Years. So doesn't that says JBMod Copied Physics-Gun? I noticed that Reviews are worse than garry's mod.
From what I can tell the 'upper' part (the part of the AR2 when you remove the magazine, trigger and the primary and secondary fire barrels) of the AR2 kinda resembles an MG42 (just the barrel and the body) but it just can be me. :P
Maybe Gordon does canonically use a speedloader and we just can't see it. Or more likely, he does and they just didn't model it because its such a fast animation. I mean, they did the same throughout the game with other things, like Alyx not actually having a quarter when "buying you a drink" to enter Kleiner's lab. Also worth mentioning that for gmod, the HL2 shotgun texture situation is the opposite. Instead of using TF2 textures on the HL2 worldmodels, it's the opposite where the HL2 textures are used on the TF2 model, something I'm sure anyone whos played gmod without a TF2 texture fix mod has seen. It doesn't look as bad as it could, but it's certainly not good.
Something that I find interesting is how much Nazi/German influence the Combine's design has - the metrocops have a type of black-leather aesthetic, they all have air filters on their masks that look like gasmasks, the Combine APCs look like the Nazis', and some of their weapons are H&K, which is German but wasn't founded until four years after WWII; obviously making a dystopian hellscape based on the Nazis isn't exactly an original idea, but I think Valve knocked it outta the park Great work on the vid btw! V accurate analysis :D
H&K seems to be a fairly successful company after the whole alien invasion thing.
That's why Combines lost the war
Or they just took over the factories, since every combine has a mp7 that means they can produce them and I doubt they would be paying for them
HK was always a succesful company.
LOWER THE DAMN PRICES GOD FUCKING DAMN IT HK
MysticalPie especially in Bulgaria
They were Mauser during Nazis, became HK. So if they survived that, they will definitely survive Combine

gordon is a jedi
gordon operates on defying non proven theories of quantum physics
I don't remember this correctly but i'll try, this is just a theory though, don't know if it's canon to the game
The combine's source of power is called "dark energy", supposedly energy of a negative mass. The idea is when an entity of negative mass meets with a real mass, some kind of scientific thing happens and boom, the object of contact "disintegrates"
This means,as the ar2 is powered by this dark energy, its pulse fire slowly chips/disintegrates small chunks of the position hit, and its alternate fire sends out a more dense dark energy, thus disintegrating the enemy as a whole.
However, when gordon went into that weapons confiscation reactor, the combine used the same energy to remove the weapons by disintegrating it, and this works because weapons have real mass(i don't know why people aren't affected but let's ignore that). This is when the reactor meets gravity gun, aka Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator.
The gravity guns works because of this "zero point field", (which in the game's scientific lore) contains a medium of zero energy. Zero energy=zero mass. When the supposedly dark energy of this negative mass meets with a medium of zero mass, the reaction was a multiplied/infinitely reacting reaction (i don't know the specifics), causing the gravity gun to become "supercharged"
The strength becomes multiplied and it becomes blue (i don't know why, maybe it's because game logic, because in hl ep 1, the core of the dark energy is black/dark), and thus the super gravity gun is born.

I bet all the bulk helps with the recoil. Considering it's more powerful than the smg it could easily kick like a mule.
Fun fact for those who don’t know: the supercharged gravity gun’s model is used for the phys gun in gmod
5:18 *watch your mouth*
He also reloads all his guns with the same empty magazine, probaly to save memory cost
Two things:
1- The AR2's receiver and stock kinda looks like that of a H&K G3 rifle.
2- No one's gonna mention how the crossbow's viewmodel has no grip?
Wheres the other half?

Look at the beta weapons. PLEASE
the SLAM and stunstick are used in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.
@@johnpauliii1218 Those aren't nessecarily beta weapons.
HL2 Beta weapons are flare gun, ak47, sniper rifle and others. This video missed the Combine's Sniper Rifle however. Possibly because it wasn't seen by the player.

You see Gordon, if you shoot rocket backwards, Gunship will be confuse and not shoot down rocket.
every single weapon has some form of broken animation or inaccuracy (besides the crowbar and gravity gun)

The Pulse Rifle kinda looks like a heavily nodified STG-44 to me. Could be wrong tho.
So, G3 then
@@erwinsetyo1061 Or a 1950s era CETME which inspired the G3 and all it's variants
For the crowbar, I think it could be the one Barney gets in Blue Shift, but the expansions are cannonically debateable.
I like how you said the name of the Rocket Launcher in 3:58 :D
I feel like the crowbar Barney gives you is the one from Blue Shift.
Good point!
It pains me in my soul when I use the pistol in game and see that sad looking fake hammer that just sits there literally solid with the frame like it's part of the polymer frame as one piece.

"This are colt anacondas"
nice spelling
it's heckler and koch the ch is pronounced as if you went "HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
fun fact: in Episode Two, the Overwatch Sniper Rifle bears a striking resemblance to a Walther WA 2000. seeing how the combine (sometimes) uses normal guns (like the USP Match but MP7) but highly modified (MP7 looks different and is able to launch a grenade) i think that in canon it actually really is the Walther WA 2000 but heavily modified.

There is no such thing as an AR3.

0:43 I think Barney just gave Gordon his crowbar that he used in Blue Shift.
It's probably not it's the crowbar you got at the start of the game not the one just given to you in the middle
0:09 ahegao 100% ( ‾ʖ̫‾) ( ͡ಥ ͜ʖ ͡ಥ)
Fun fact: In Gmod you can kill the Gunship with fists in a few hits
2:05 hold up does it have a second barrel?
Perhaps so. Doesn't make sense for it to be a "grenade launcher" since the grenades are a lot bigger, but also doesn't make sense to be a second barrel on the SMG as it doesn't use it in-game, unless one barrel is used immediately after the other to double fire rate, though this ain't likely since the fire rate is pretty normal for an SMG. The prototype HK PDW doesn't have the second barrel either. Odd.
barrels gonna be firing the world's smallest grenades lol
It's definitely a second barrel, meant to be some nonsensical built-in grenade launcher despite the grenades being much bigger and having seemingly no way of loading it. The Half Life 2 MMod tries to fix this a little by making the lower barrel a bit bigger and adding an animation of Freeman pumping the foregrip as a way of either ejecting whatever leftover brass there is, or simply readying the next grenade for use.
@@Whomobile as you said, it's just combine tecnology
I like to think it's like the explosives in the hunter choppers, they just appear from somewhere
The AR2 (or flare gun in beta) kinda resembles an HK21 to me. Funnily enough, they had an HK21 variant, the GR9 as the cut HMG.
Many, many H&K weapons in the cut version(s).
SMG1 = MP5K
HMG1 = HK21E
SMG2 = MP7
AR2/OICW = H&K XM-29 O.I.C.W. (Object individual combat weapon)
9mm Pistol = USP Match
between this and TF2 we can safely say vale doesn't know to to make a revolver
The grenade is actually based off an American M18 smoke grenade.
nice video, what about classic counter strike weapons?
bruh
I like how ar2 is such a good weapon that everybody just agreed "yes, this is assault rifle 2."
I think the .357 magnum having a chunky worldmodel is due to no npc's using it. The worldmodel is only seen when you pick it up, unlike something like the mp7, which both the combine and resistance use frequently.
Considering that, using a glitch you can get barney to drop you INFINITE crowbars (Although my highest was like 30 before the game crashed from the 500000 barrels that were duplicated in the process) he is absolutely a crowbar collector
The interesting thing is that the revolver in half life 2 is from black mesa it even has the little logo of black mesa on it in both games
oh boi can't wait for Half Life 3
DOOM item origins please
I always thought the pheropod looks like a pin cushion, especially with the blue things on it
3:49
They did that because (this is all a theory dunno if it's confirmed) the combine call them "extractors", so basically they're meant to flush people out of cover etc, thus the flashing light, and the long detonation time.
Nah it's just gameplay thing
My headcanon is that the Crowbar Barney gives Gordon is the one Barney used in Blue Shift.
I always figured the crowbar you received from Barney was the one he used in Blue Shift. If he's a sentimental type of guy, which wasn't ever really established either way, Barney might've held onto the one thing that always saved him in a pinch during the Black Mesa Incident. Once Gordon came along, he knew Freeman could make better use with it than he ever could.
If I remember correctly, the real USP Match use .45 ACP rounds but the one in Half-Life use 9mm and that's why the mag size is bigger.
It's 9mm the only H&K pistol that fires .45 cal rounds are USPs.
It can shoot 9mm bro
The Alyxgun is actually a modified M1911 with a Barrel compensator and shroud with a rather large heatshield modification
The smg has 2 barrels so that coukd justify the grenade launcher in game though there is no way to fit one in the gun
The AR2 looks like a G3 or a Cetme rifle with a bodykit on the front and no magazine
I think that the SMG's grenade launcher fires grenade on the bottom barrel. Since the weapon has two barrels, I believe that the grenade launcher uses high explosive rounds the matches the same caliber of the SMG itself.
eeeeh. I mean even with combine tech the MP7 fires are rather small cartridge. 4.6x30mm. Next to nothing in terms of space for explosives let alone cause an explosion of the size of a frag grenade. Kind of a stretch to be fair.
okay i just realized how freakin tiny that sight is
AR3 doesn't exist because valve can't count to three (for now)
The combine is in love whit the HK XD
The AR3 is terrifying. I honestly have nightmares of it.
0:53 h&k made a contract with the combine empire to make weapons for them if theybprotect the families of the workers and also payment
I still prefer the original Half-Life weapons, these are still goo though
very nice video! great for cosplayers 😉
I mean, you missed that the city was lousy with AR3s...
Funnier too is that the Pistol is called a 9mm in-game, where in fact the USP Match is a .45 in real life
There is a 9mm version
It's strange that the CPs use the USP Match when it would be discontinued by the games release.
The stock shotgun is an ithaca 37 with a sawed off barrel. It can’t it can’t be equipped by the engineer and spy
I mean if Blue Shift is cannon Barney could have gave Gordon his crowbar.
i think barney's crowbar is actually the one he got in blue shift
Quick note: Barney had a crowbar in Blueshift, so he gave Gordon his in HL2.
Fun fact, the gravity gun was an aperture invention, thats why the portal gun shares some of its functionality and design. You can see it on the desk next to the portal gun in the Lab Rat comic
"wacky combine technology" you mean the obvious 2nd barrel for small grenades?
A H&k MP7 has no such thing as "A 2nd barrel for small grenade
Combine really like that H&K
Why did you say that Garry's mod copied gravity gun from JBMod? JBMod Released 2 years ago. and G-Mod 18 Years. So doesn't that says JBMod Copied Physics-Gun?
I noticed that Reviews are worse than garry's mod.
I forgot about the super gravity gun. I love how it shakes in his hands, like it might explode at any second.
"Heckler and Coke"
It's actually pronounced Koch
@@Railhog2102 I know
From what I can tell the 'upper' part (the part of the AR2 when you remove the magazine, trigger and the primary and secondary fire barrels) of the AR2 kinda resembles an MG42 (just the barrel and the body) but it just can be me. :P
Ah yes, my favorite German arms manufacturer
*Heckler and Coke*
5:16 actually GMOD stole nothing from JBmod only took some inspiration. Its a very bad accusation from the already shady JBmod team.
AR2 is a edited OICW model, in first person one can easily see
Gordan is so godly that the guns dont care how he loads them
The icon for the hl2 crossbow shows it has a clip but in game it doesn’t
HL1 had the Anaconda, HL2 has the Python... clever.
Maybe Gordon does canonically use a speedloader and we just can't see it. Or more likely, he does and they just didn't model it because its such a fast animation. I mean, they did the same throughout the game with other things, like Alyx not actually having a quarter when "buying you a drink" to enter Kleiner's lab.
Also worth mentioning that for gmod, the HL2 shotgun texture situation is the opposite. Instead of using TF2 textures on the HL2 worldmodels, it's the opposite where the HL2 textures are used on the TF2 model, something I'm sure anyone whos played gmod without a TF2 texture fix mod has seen. It doesn't look as bad as it could, but it's certainly not good.
Something that I find interesting is how much Nazi/German influence the Combine's design has - the metrocops have a type of black-leather aesthetic, they all have air filters on their masks that look like gasmasks, the Combine APCs look like the Nazis', and some of their weapons are H&K, which is German but wasn't founded until four years after WWII; obviously making a dystopian hellscape based on the Nazis isn't exactly an original idea, but I think Valve knocked it outta the park
Great work on the vid btw! V accurate analysis :D

What if the crossbow had this
