grav gun on SP doesnt lag for me its when i play multiplayer.

it is my computer: 1.6ghz P4, Geforce FX 5200, 640mb Ram, so i expect lag but not so much when it comes to grav gun.

I think it depends on the map. I kinda like the grav gun sometimes, and hate it others.

I think the grav gun proves how uncreative valve have become. However- I do believe in some form of weapon or ability to make use of items in levels, some way of throwing a sink at someones head or something, but the grav gun?! Cumon! What a piece of crap.

you are the first person that i know that has dissed the grav gun.

but i have to disagree with one point: uncreative? i would say it was a really original idea and really creative.

No no no, I cannot I shall not believe this! The grav gun uncreative? It's one of the most original weapons made yet and , as proof, doom3 never had this weapon although implementing it was quite possible.
It's by far more creative than UT2004s and DOOM3's weapons, which everyone seem to praise.

You guys don't really understand the design process then. The grav gun is the equivalent of a hyper active designer wanting something to do everything, then in the end just saying "screw it, make it pick up s**t and throw it, I don't know how else to do it". If they had gone through the design process more they could have created something far more original.

From what I've read, the grave gun wasn't just something that was put together in the last stage of development.

I mean, how the hell else would you manipulate the physics with one item? I mean they could have had like 4 diffrent wepons that did all the stuff the grav gun does.

Myrk I think your just looking for ways to be negative.

Yeah, I think Myrk is just having a bad day. The gravity gun is the best thing about HL2. It makes it stands out from all the other shooter games.

All the other shooter games have a pistol, a machine gun, a shotgun, a crossbow and/or sniper rifle, a rocket launcher, grenades (and maybe some knife or some other melee weapon). But a gravity gun?! That's uniquely HL2.

Tell me truthfully that you did not have fun playing ball with Dog when you first got the gun, and I'll declare you clinically insane.

Like what? It seems to me that you have a far more original idea than valve had. Care to share it with us ? <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

No taboo subjects then? I find that a bit hard to believe. Surely something is off limits.

Its no wonder there is an atmosphere of hostility. I am not saying its overboard, but since I have been here, I have seen a bit over the top on a few replies. I have been hesitant to even dig past page one on most of the forums.

I think I will play it by ear till I see which way the threads are going if thats OK. Seems a bit safer to me that way.

If you are a hard worker and dont ask stuff that could be looked up on google you'll do fine. Infact we love new mappers, or at least I do.

I'd say that some of us get really into some issues, but I'm sure no one will be upset about your insight. Anyways, 98% of the people on the forums cant DO anything to you anyways.

Underdog, I know you're trying to avoid flamewars, but you're taking this place way too seriously. The pit isn't exactly a cult with initiation rituals and all that kind of stuff... You can usually post whatever you want wherever you want (Almost. Pr0n stays off generally. Shame.). You may get flamed a bit, but hey, it's a message board on the internet. Nothing "serious". That's where you see most of the bitterness from, I think: people who take this stuff too seriously.

Guys who've been around a while generally don't blow up too often. And even when they do you can learn from it if it is something useful (like in the mapping section), or ignore it, or laugh at it because it's usually humourous.

Besides, it's ever pitter's duty to incite flamewars and derail topics. Life wouldn't be the same without them.

I can prove it to you:

Hey orph, you're a fat ugly commie!

Perhaps I just should have waited a bit or have showed up at a bad time. If its not as bad as it looks then fine. My problem at this point is that I don't have a map to post, I have no answers to post, and no Art. I haven't a question yet so I am rooted within the "General" forum for now.

As I said, I think I will like it here but for now feel like an outsider cause everyone indicates there are underlying conditions I am missing through my ignorance of the sites community.

To seriously is a fault of mine. I will attempt to get it in check. My personality is basically a "helper" person. Yet, I have no one to help presently cause I cannot map. I am feel lost and yet, do not want to create problems by posting where I do not belong.

Thanks for being patient. I will loosen up.

Don't feel compelled to post. We don't watch your quota and send threatening emails if you aren't making 100 posts a day. Hell, I've been a member since the second version of the site, and I don't post that often .

And don't pussy-foot around either. To be honest the reason you might have been called a bit wierd is because you constantly do nothing that might offend someone. Some new members start abusing the regulars from the word go, which isn't something you want to do. But if you aren't too offensive and don't seriously attack/abuse someone you'll be right.

So take Fraggard's advice and throw yourself in. And now lets never again hear of how you want to be careful <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">.

You guys talk like you have been around the block, yet you act like your block is only here. Some other mapping sites are horrible places. Just joining is an adventure. Try being at a site where your very presence as a new mapper is a crime for a while. You will then know my trepidations when I see heated replies. My one saving grace was, I do not argue often. My fault however is when I need to, I know not how. Best to avoid them.

Lets just play it by ear. Consider my caution warranted or don't but I do not want to be constantly on the alert.

I will loosen up, eventually.
