(It might be just me, if so you can forget this revolver part.) I was always running out of ammo when using it which lead to me not using it at all to save ammo for the moment I need it (which never came). And that's before I got the shotgun which outshone the SMG after that by just simply being better. I only used it in Ravenholm when I lost my saw blade. It dealt so little damage that (at least) I prefered the pistol over it in most situations. And even then you ran out of bullets very quickly. It was really only useful when faced up against many targets when you had no cover. Pistol is more accurate than assault rifle? Yes.
Many times I switched to pistol to take out long range targets. Ammo packs gave you almost all of the ammo back (something like 24) and Combine troopers also dropped a lot of ammo.Ĭombine rifle. It was like the only gun you had to use for the majority of the game. I think some of the guns were 'poorly' balanced (at least when comparing to other aspects of the game).įirst I list the weapons I think were balanced: 9mm Pistol, gravity gun, crossbow, grenade, rocket launcher and crowbar. The biggest problem(s) I had with the game (if we're not counting Ravenholm and all of it's jump scares) was the gun play.
So, I bought HL2 from the Steam summer sale and just finished it.
