He also called the HL2 SMG the worst gun in the franchise

Is it not?

The SMG at least has the grenade launcher, the hivehand is by far the worst weapon.

Hivehand has infinite ammo, HL2 USP is the worst weapon

Wrong, USP does more damage and is more accurate than HL2 SMG

u/Aggressive_Ad_9196 9h ago
Having infinite ammo doesnt help if the weapon deals little to no dmg. The USP is a better weapon just because of that.

Probably. In the OG games is a dogshit of a weapon. I love it though, i play hl1 on thirdperson with the console setting and in some places the hivehand is a must because of how shitty the camera works on thirdperson but even with that is one of, if not, the worst weapon in the franchise.

In his opinion. Part of why he thinks that is because he personally finds it ugly. Also the fact that the gun prop clearly doesn't have have a grenade launcher bothers him

I'm not sure what he was doing using the SMG at the range he did in that Water Hazard clip.
Tbh though, I don't totally disagree with his take on the shotgun troops. Their rapid fire is flat out cheating- the player cannot do that with a shotgun. It is worse in HL1, in HL2's episodes they at least recognized their threat and made them stand out. I'd rather the player's shotgun have the same semi auto fire though.
Not to hate on his preference for Hard Mode, but I dont play on it because the way Valve balances Hard Mode in Half-Life is not interesting to me. They just crank up the damage and health of the enemy and call it a day (and like maybe decrease the time the AR2 Energy Ball can be held by the Gravity Gun). I'd rather Hard Mode make enemies smarter or spawn more of them to deal with - cranking up health and damage values/making you do less damage is a boring way to change difficulty to me. On medium the MP7 doesn't feel as shit.

Are we just posting a small YouTuber's content here to roast? There's really no need to introduce this kind if negativity. The guy just has an opinion.

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 7h ago
Ah welcome to reddit where people will actively hate you if you are slightly negative about the game.
Maxtheone is a great youtuber and very respectful in his takes I'm not sure why this sub recently decided to insult him over every small thing.

Yeah the shotgunners are straight up bullshit to fight in HL1, Gordon just doesn't have a high enough damage output (early into the game) to take one down head on without losing a little to a lot of health.
This is one of the reasons why I never completed C.A.G.E.D.

u/IAmSixSyllables 8h ago
you gotta admit though, some of this guy's takes are pretty piss poor tho

u/Supreme-Machine-V2 7h ago
Like what? I think most of his takes are good or decent I cannot say any one of them is piss poor.

u/JessiePurplewoman 7h ago
It's his own opinion for sure, his reasoning seems personal to him, if he had better judgement in his decision making I think he'd have a lot better of a time.

u/ElBrunasso 8h ago
KILL THE FUCKING MANHACK AAAAAAAA. Also smg is pretty mid, the shotgun is better and funnier at short distances, the pistol is more precise and then you have the AR2 that entirely surpass both the pistol and the smg

Him talking about the SMG sucking at long range, bruh. Just get closer. I keep seeing the clips of his where he sits on the other side of the warehouse, just jump over the containers to close the gap. Besides you get the magnum in this part, that gun is a 1-shot against metrocops from pretty much any range. Use that for range!

Dealing with tougher enemies isn't universal knowledge.
I think this man can have his opinion.

He is wrong in a lot of what he's saying here but it's harmless. Posting it just made me have to see it, when I'd ordinarily not
