more embarrassing is when your down to that last one and a crawler gets you... a darn crawler.felbot said:i was at the top of the leader board in killing floor with my sharp shooter, just one enemy left and what happens? i decided to take a gore fast 1v1 with my knife.
I don't know why I tried either.
I mean this in the most respectful way, but I think you may just not be very good at morrowind. XDShanicus said:OH GOD, HAND TO HAND ENEMIES. WHY DID YOU REMIND ME OF THOSE GUYS??? Pretty much any of the hand-to-hand fighters would ruin my day, as they somehow took obscene amounts of damage even when they wore piss-all - the fact that my 200+ Fatigue would be burnt away pretty quickly didn't help at all.
One of the changes I was quite thankful for with Oblivion/Skyrim, so my big heavy-armored warrior didn't run like a little girl when some drunken hobo started a brawl.

Then they shoot you three times and you die instantly.vallorn said:(Dear god BM team I can beat HL1 on hard and did so as prep but those Marines are bullshit on toast.)
What sticks out in my mind is the fucking encounter in Lambda Core, when you have to scout an area ahead for the scientists are you're trapped in a front desk while soldiers repel down. FUCK THAT MOMENT. Easy difficulty, multiple years of shooter experience, full health, full ammo, using all of my strong guns, memory of where soldiers appear, and complete concentration, and it took around half an hour to beat the moment where four soldiers spam you, immediately followed by five more, while two snipe you from above, when there's no health or suit power lying around in a close-quarters and no cover area where shotgunners LOVE to two-shot you.
Fuck that.
I actualy had the most trouble with the part where you have to fight up a short ramp to a landing pad where a chopper keeps dropping off soldiers. I would have done okay IF THEY DIDNT SODDING KEEP BRINGING MORE IN! As it was every time I got to the top of the ramp (Even if I let them engage the two Vort's to weaken them) I got turned into paste. on the off chance I survived killing them all... the second wave was already deployed and mashed me in the face...
This was the first time in years that I have cheated at a PC game. After 3 HOURS of struggling I gave up and just god moded through the section to the missile launcher and played it from there. That was tough but actually fun and doable...

... but you had to shoot it down in the original as wellvallorn said:(Seriously I thought the osprey was invincible or something because there were NO prompts unlike everything else...)
Il have to go back and try that encounter again now that I know what the devs thought I should know.
Thats no excuse for poor game design...CleverNickname said:... but you had to shoot it down in the original as wellvallorn said:(Seriously I thought the osprey was invincible or something because there were NO prompts unlike everything else...)

Absolutely destroyed anything that didn't fatigue-drain though. Whenever Golden Saints or Dremora Lords appeared, my general reaction was 'Woo! Free loot!'.
[sub]though it did take me a while to figure out that the Golden Saints/Atronarchs had a spell reflect... to be fair I played the game when I was 12, so I was a bit slow in learning the mechanics.[/sub]
oh yeah, that is dumb. the big explodey guns in HL1 were fun mayhem - BM got rid of them except for one, that is now annoying because you have to reload it. way to go, guys...vallorn said:Wait no I know what it was. I heard about a part where you have to take down an osprey with a manual reload rocket emplacement... I got confused...
