Mr Freemeat in the meat, rather, in the Sausage suit.

[@Peluceus]

Welldone Freemeat, in the flesh -- or rather, as a hot dog. I took the liberty, freedom, and justice for all of relieving you of your weapons, most of them WERE hotdog property. As for the casing, well. I think you've earned it. The borderworld, microwave, is in our control, for the time being. Thanks to you -- quite a nasty piece of meat you've managed over there, I am impress(sizzle sound)ssed. That's why I'm here, I've recommended your cooking skills to my -- e-employers, and they have authorized me to offer you a hotdog. They agree with me you have limitlesssss... sizzle. You've proved yourself a decisive hotdog, so I don't imagine you'll have any trouble deciding what to do. If you're interested, JUUUUUST eat the hot dog, and I'll take that -- as a yes. Otherwise, I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning -- rather an antisausage after what you've just survived. Time to choooose. Well done, Mr. Freemeat, I will see you, up ... ahead. Cook and sizzle, Mr. Free meat. Cook, and sizzle. Not that I wish to imply you've been eating on the job -- no one is more deserving of a hotdog, and all the buns in the WORLD would have gone to waste, until -- well, let's just say your hour has... come again. The right dog on the wrong grill -- can make all the difference, in the world. So, bon appetite, Mr free meat. Bon appetite and smell the char. Time, Dr. Freemeat? Is it really that ... time again. It seem's you've only just... arrived. You've cooked a great deal in a small grill. You've done so well in fact, that I've received some interesting offers for your services. Ordinarily, I wouldn't contemplate them -- but these ARE some extraordinary hotdogs. Rather than offer you the illusion of liberty, freedom, and justice for all, I will take take the liberty freedom and justice for myself of choosing for you -- if and when your time comes round again. I do apologize for what must seem to you a raw hotdog, Dr. Freemeat. I trust it will all make sense to you in the course of -- well, I'm really not going to tell you. In the meantime, this is where I get off.

start with pencil with no resupply points, but sosigs have real guns that you can loot. when they die they drop the gun with only the single magazine in the gun. I think it would really shake up gameplay because it would be about killing and stealing weapons up close and personal.

Always pleasantly surprised with the new content you are able to introduce to the game! I do have one interesting suggestion. One thing I've come across is when I go to reload a rifle or some two handed weapon, having to regrab it by finding the spot then clicking always sort of takes away from what's going on. Maybe allowing your hands to grab objects without clicking, but by just floating them over a spot, and them coming off the weapon when they come a certain distance from it. Cant wait to see the new take and hold map!

[@LostElsen]

Great job on the crossbow and AR, specifically the lemon ball! I really like that you have implemented the dissolve effect, it's one of my favourite special effects in videogames! I'd like to note though that in HL2 energy balls fired by the player target the nearest enemy when bouncing off surfaces. I think that would help with the balance of those things, as well as making them more fun to use. Would be curious to see the Tau Cannon transported to H3VR, specifically how many of it's obscure mechanics you can implement :D

[@AntonHand]

HL2 can cheat the bounce angle because its ai/entity system are player centric and 'cheat' in dozens of ways to create a more 'cinematic' experience. I do not share that design philosophy and so I don't have systems architected that way.

[@LostElsen]

@@AntonHand nevermind then, just wanted to note that. HL2 is indeed very player-oriented in it's design, which obviously doesn't fly for every game out there, so keep doing your own thing then!

[@secritiveHalo]

Y'know Anton, in this one mod for Half-Life 2, called MMod, it does something very very interesting with the SMG: it gives the already integrated launcher a freaking pump-action loading using that foregrip, and I believe loads the tube from the left side. Is that at all possible, putting two mechanics in an already tiny package? And then if that's possible, maybe you can give the same treatment to the Half-Life 1 SMG, an MP5 with an M203. The mod also treats the AR2 as a belt-fed assault rifle like you do, so I'm happy.
