Tripmines were a fantastic idea but i never use them on normal difficulty, on hard only occasionally. If there were more enemies and less bullets there would be more reason to use them.

The crates in the games should also have more items, most are empty.

>> No.7459363

>>7459164
Have there be more of it basically. Maybe a longer escalation after the resonance cascade and have the military thing be just hinted at more gradually over time, like say, have some scientists bodies found in lines as if they had been put up against a wall or such. Also get rid of that part where you're knocked out. Felt dumb.

Given how closely the alpha was based on the unmodified Quake engine, it's likely the MP5 was literally a nailgun.

The battles are too linear and forward progressing to really take advantage of Tripmines too often. The gadgets often were too complex compared to the tools needed to get the job.

they were equally as useless as they were in Duke 3d. and from duke3d mods we get the solution-

what you do is you drop both trip mines and snarks and you replace them with Spidermines, having them be either an alien weapon or something they were making in black mesa.

I remember that it used to do this, but in my recent playthrough the music did continue through map transitions. Perhaps it's because I ran it off an SSD so the reduced load times fixed it or there has been a patch. I can go test it real quick and report my results.

Lambda Core is boring every time I play the game. I'd significantly reduce the number of alien grunts teleport-spawning in, and maybe introduce a couple of cut enemies just to make it a more exciting next-to-finale level.
