I meant the 2012 valentines day massacre one, but that will suffice.

should we add the ability to pick up bodies and use them as meat shields?

Edited:

it's not like anybody's gonna use bodies as meat shields, i'm guessing people are gonna pick up houndeyes and fling them around like pieces of turd but it should be fun.

we're also thinking of adding gibbing, except it's turned off by default.

Lizzrd · 23rd April 2012

I'd totally pick up dead people and use em as meat shields.

Edited:

I'm sorry that's a lie I'd just stack them in a funny way.

Maestro Fenix · 23rd April 2012

Gibbing, if is optimizated properly, is always good (GoldSrc style).

The idea about picking ragdolls would be something like the recent BMS video?

**booster** · 23rd April 2012

Is the citadel ever going to touch down in the mod?

**ferdam** · 23rd April 2012

Yeah, gibbing for Headcrabs would be pretty nice, it was awesome to insta-gib them in OF1 using the wrench alt fire..

If Black Mesa : Source is gonna do that, I think you should.

Radio Yes · 24th April 2012

Really looking forward to this, looks really awesome so far.

**Blargtastic** · 24th April 2012

Ehh I personally don't really want or particularly like the meat shield mechanic but I won't bitch if it's added.

Just doesn't seem like a "Half Life" thing.

**MenteR** · 24th April 2012

its gonna be something you can turn on on the options menu, just for fun. it's gonna be off by default. and i didn't know black mesa was gonna add it or whatever.

**ferdam** · 24th April 2012

Extra features to get extra fun, that's why it will be turned off by default, so nothing to fear about it fucking up the "normal" gameplay experience.

**RockmanYoshi** · 24th April 2012

Heh. I won't pick up bodies as meat shields, I'll probably just throw them down a cliff. Or make a neat stack of em'.

UntouchedShadow · 24th April 2012

I would use them as meat shields to get past turrets and snipers and things, but mostly for throwing around.

If you make it so that you can collide with bodies and stand on them, chances are I'll attempt to make staircases out them.

oh shit nigga thats big

**TheDark[PL]** · 27th April 2012

This looks so good, I want to play it already!

UntouchedShadow · 27th April 2012

At first I was wondering why he said the synths were big.

Then I looked up at the sky.

Meatpuppet · 1st May 2012

wow... is that in-game? looks better than battlefield 3

battlefield 3 doesn't have goatee simulation either

**MenteR** · 1st May 2012

but we've got gravy ;)

**MenteR** · 2nd May 2012

this week we're tying all the maps together (adding all the transitions) plus we're finishing up one last map.

i don't know when you guys are gonna be able to beta test. i'm SORRY that i'll have to delay the beta testing a week or two, but i'm giving the team a deadline so we can finish the game this month. keep tuned on this thread or the beta testing group so i can tell you guys when we're going to officially let you beta test.

you will play this and i can guarantee you'll love this. it's got memorable dialogue, memorable encounters and memorable battles.

It's alright, MenteR. More time means better game.
And thanks for making it, it's a free mod after all.
Right? RIGHT?

Making quality takes time, so I'm glad you're delaying it to do just that.

**Milkyway M16** · 2nd May 2012

Have you guys addressed the not-so-great looking view model arms and anims?

**MenteR** · 2nd May 2012

we've redone all anims already and its been a month or something.

there's one last npc we'd show you guys but we'll keep it secret until the release.

**Super_Nova** · 2nd May 2012

Remember when you introduced this back in 2007 and everyone talked about how shit it was.

**Juniez** · 2nd May 2012

+when it got leaked some time ago

**ferdam** · 3rd May 2012

It was in 2008/2009 if i'm not mistaken. But who cares ? They leaked our shitty and totally unfinished work, including 50% of stupid place holders.

croguy · 3rd May 2012

Honestly, the fact that you guys changed so much after the initial announcement is a big plus in my book. You turned OP42, a mod that was pretty much a massive joke within the HL2 modding scene into a mod that has the potential to be one of the best mods of 2012, and that's worth double the appraisal.

**RockmanYoshi** · 4th May 2012

All I know is that on the release day of OF2, I will be refreshing the ModDB and the website page all day and all night looking for the big green download button.

TheSporeGA · 4th May 2012

Can't wait for the mod.

Gears of duty · 5th May 2012

I'm a console player primarily, but I think I'm gonna get Half Life 2 Ep.2 (or whatever the requirement is) just for this.

The requirement is any source engine game.

The Opposing Force 2 Moddb page says otherwise.

It's in the description with big font :

THIS REQUIRES EPISODE TWO!

UntouchedShadow · 5th May 2012

Oh, I'm mistaken then.
