On the topic of the MP5K I can see why people don't like the weapon's addition or find it unnecessary but I think its introduction is for a quite smart reason, since Bad Cop now doesn't use the 9MM USP pistol and has the Gauss pistol they now had an ammo type that the main character just doesn't interact with in the game so by adding the MP5K they hit two birds with one stone as Bad cop now has a weapon in 9mm and a bit of fun for beta enjoyers

It fits the role of a common ammo ranged weapon. It isn’t perfect and is better fit for a mid to slightly long-range weapon. Or close quarters with the secondary fire, although it burns through ammo, making that slightly more risky to use. It’s a good implementation into the gameplay and I personally love its addition. Also as a casual beta enjoyer, I like when people bring in canon weapons that weren’t seen in the retail HL2. As long as they’re done right anyways.

Yeah, the MP5K doesn't revolutionize combat, but the burst fire and super fast full auto make it more stimulating to shoot than the regular SMG. Honestly, the MP5K could have entirely replaced the SMG the same way the Gauss pistol replaces the regular pistol in this mod.

I used the mp5 for longer more accurate combat and never used the auto cause of the smaller ammo pool plus becomes as inaccurate as the default smg when fired too long but much faster, while the default smg for more spray up close in a group of enemies if it was dry on nades so to me more variety is always good in a game for players.

Part as to why this game has so much fan-service to OpFor and mechanics that resemble OpFor, is because Breadman, the mod's creator, has said somewhere that he wanted the Entropy: Zero series to be "the Opposing Force we never got", fully immersing ourselves into the eyes of a Half-Life bad guy. Also, fuck the Pit-Drones. You call them forgettable enemies but those suckers gave me a lot of trouble since their attacks deal very high damage on Combine Elite difficulty, a force to be reckoned with. Other than that, the MP5K is a great addition to the game, a good sidegrade to the MP7 and, as someone else commented before, a good way to reintroduce 9mm ammo into the game as the USP's been replaced by the Prototype Gauss Pistol.

Pitdrones were a major annoyance in OpFor as well; basically a bullsquid, but faster and harder to hit / avoid, especially when it came to their ranged attack, in addition to being smaller and harder to hit at distance. Really when I think about, and in spite of having a soft spot for OpFor, many if not all of the Race X enemies were kinda bull. Shock Troops fire faster than vorts while having an actual stun mechanic when hitting you, and not having a wind up. And I will never forgive the person who thought it would be cool to put you in a dark maze with a bunch of those big guys.

@thatmadmoose6015 Жыл бұрын

(Spoiler Warning) I think my favorite plot point of the mod is the idea that the combine let 3650 keep his “faculties”. It’s a minor one to be sure but it’s there to explain why all of the other combine foot soldiers can’t play the same as 3650. What makes it even better is that even ties into one of the endings. The “bad ending” where you get your faculties ripped from you, reducing you to another mere grunt in front of Gordon’s massacre.

I left him at that loot computer thing, after i completed the wave survival i restarted because i didn't think i would see wilson again.

I honestly felt like the MP5K was more of a "power weapon" than the MP7. The recoil/spread on the MP7 made it almost worthless outside of shotgun range, and the MP5 was fairly accurate with the burst fire. Hit some headshots and you drop enemies VERY quick. It's just limited by its unforgiving ammo count (one of my few gripes with the game). I really do think the recoil should have been tuned down quite a bit on most of the weapons. I mean, it's visually appealing sometimes, but most of the time it's just annoying. Plus, you're a physically augmented Combine Elite. Arguably you should have *less* recoil than Gordon gets in his HEV.

@thunderslug1066 Жыл бұрын

AR2 recoil can be entirely eliminated with tap firing, and is basically recoilless sniping rebels in the rebel lodge holdout. The SMG should have had lower recoil I agree, tap firing with a low damage gun that theoretically is balanced by high fire rates make it basically point blank only.

@@vendybirdsvadl7472 I suppose that's an inherited trait from HL2, where the SMG exists late game as a gun which doesn't require much in terms of ammo management, especially when the buggy had unlimited ammo and when there were a surprising lack of physics objects in certain sections, like the overwatch nexus which made it hard to use the gravity gun. Just wish the SMG had a bit more utility than 'lots of bullets' and grenade launcher.

I think exactly because it can be more accurate that they had to give it the smaller ammo pool cause otherwise it would outclass the smg in almost every way. At super close range I used the default smg cause up close with multiple enemies, having wider spread than the mp5 meant nothing as you just unload on them and can afford losing some bullets cause of the larger ammo pool, while the mp5 was good for more long-range combat but you have to watch the ammo as using it the same way as the default smg wont last long, especially the auto-fire which I never used exactly cause of the quick burn through ammo its capable of.

Mainly the manhack backup at Arbeit 1's jumper segment can sometimes fail to spawn, Clone Cop can sometimes fail to close the door to that same warehouse, and most inconsequentially, _sometimes the hunter misses his shot and the dude doesn't land in the dumpster!_ :O But *that's less bugs than any game I've played on release on Steam.* This game is a triumph and my first thought going back into any other HL2 mod is always "damn I miss those EZ2 features like the kick button."

I wasn't aware of Entropy: Zero until the second one came out and sent a massive wave of attention through out the internet. Though part of me didn't bother in wanting to play it but after awhile I decided to download the two games and admit they were fun as hell. The Idea for the first game all being a replay seemed good but the second game really was the star for the Entropy: Zero games. It continued the story while expanding on Unit 3650. A Misunderstood man who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, who only wants to find his daughter and believes the Combine can grant him that wish, only for him to discover in the Arbeit facility that he was a clone and so It's a hunt to get to Mossman and to kill your Clone before he ruins the Combine's Operations for good, all while the Rebels retreat and set up defensive positions to protect Mossman and while Clone Cop attempts to halt your progress and trying to tell you that the Combine will not hold up their end of the deal. One flaw I saw was Arbeit #1 and the Aperture chambers... They felt long and screwed up the pacing but it seems to have recovered after getting the Xen grenades, And yes fan service can be a poison if added too much, the idea of Cave Johnson having a private cabin near the Arbeit facilities' didn't seem too far fetched. Entropy: Zero 2 did a lot better than what bad guy related Half-Life games did.

I think the MP5K being added makes sense, because it fits with the Combine's weird obsession with H&K guns it seems, and I like how it fits in as an old gun the Metrocops used to use, but got rid of, and the Rebels found an old cache of them to use. As for gameplay, I absolutely loved it, and I normally hate burst fire guns, but the MP5K, man, that was a seriously fun gun for me to use. The one gripe (if I can even call it that) I have with it is that it feels way more accurate than it actually is, if that makes sense, because at times I would suit zoom with it for longer range shots, and then discover to my horror that nothing is hitting, but again, that's really minor shit. I used it way more than any other gun, sometimes to my detriment, when I run out of ammo for it in the middle of a fight.

4:95 cant relate my mp5k was out of ammo constantly 😭, shredding through enemies with the mp5k was euphoric. Also the limited ammo count was INCREDIBLE for what it brought in terms of difficulty and fights. It really made me switch up my playstyle constantly.

I think the mp5k was a very fun weapon to use, I found myself using it a lot more in my playthrough when I realized how well the burst fire worked in long distance combat, and it was satisfying to shoot, I just wish there was more ammo spread throughout the campaign

I feel like beta and OPFOR stuff was added solely because whole custom new content like fully fanmade assets could end up even more contentious, beta and OPFOR content has SOME grounding in it's presence in other mods and games, meanwhile wholy new content would require to start on square one, design, premise, experimentation, implementaiton, assets.. meanwhile with content reuse you can focus on other things. In general it seems this mod prefers kitbashing existing assets, as in taking models and textures from Valve source games, and combining them, than making wholly custom content. Or maybe Breadman is just one of Betachads who sees it's glory.

@endruv_2287 Жыл бұрын

Some of my favorite references are when bad cop says "No one rides for free", a song from HL2E2 and when it's revealed that Aperture's energy pellet is reversed engineered from a time traveling Combine energy ball. Excellent way to explain it. Even when driving the APC and firing a rocket, a rebel with a rocket launcher will steer your rocket instead, which is a bug carried over from HL2 where you can control APC rockets. Not sure if that was intentional though. Also, running through Nova Prospket at the start and seeing things like the giant fan with the piece of wood stuck through it was really neat

The 'Gonome' isn't a 1 to 1 straight copy of the OF Gonarch. The HL2 Beta community fixups (I think Mega Patch 4 and Leaknet) modified the cut Zombie Assassin, whose model normally has no animations by the way, into a replacement Gonome and I think that replacement NPC was ported over to hl2 retail for EZ2. When I looked in the console I think the NPC even is referred to as npc_zassassin.

For me who has only played HL1, 2 and the episodes, I really didn’t mind these references to the Beta or the expansions.

I'm as in love with the HL2 beta as much as the next guy, but I can agree that the final product is most likely a way better game than what could have been if any of the HL2 concepts from 1999-2001 was what we got instead. People tend to forget that Valve cuts things in their games for a reason, and they have a history of scrapping tons of content if they don't think it would make for a good game in the end (like TF2 Brotherhood of Arms).

@Guymanbot97 Жыл бұрын

People honestly seem to overvalue cut content in general. Like Fallout NV for example has A LOT, but most of it is just filler stuff that wouldn't have enhanced the experience in any way. Yet the community looks at it as a sign of a better game being hidden in an already good game.

I would have ditched the MP5K and instead introduced the Gauss Cannon back, ability to rip it off the rebel buggies in "Venture Ghost", and jumper rebels would provide ammo for it throughout the campaign as you keep running into them (plus xen grenade teleporting from the days of black mesa radiation ammo pickups). There's a cool variant of the gauss pistol (" sv_pulse_pistol_style 1") where you'd get the best of both worlds of still having the charge shotgun spread shot and a beam attack a bit like the gauss cannon, it's a bit jank but it would have been amazing if they'd polished that one up and made it the default style.

Anyways, while I was watching, I saw you had more than 1000 hours on Hotline Miami 2 in the "I'm no game reviewer" part of the intro. As soon as I saw that my mind raced to a game heavily inspired by HLM that released recently called OTXO, and thought if you would be interested to review it. I've heard its great!

The story definitely goes in a different direction, but I don't think that's a bad thing, and it's not like the original half life games had nearly as many story moments as Ez2 did (for it's runtime, atleast.) I found the dynamic between bad cop and the master template to be super enjoyable, as well as the ending. Their voices are super cool but they also have a lot of good moments and qoutable dialogue. I like how they manage to make the master template feel like a genuine threat even when you have the backing of an entire army, chasing you around and destroying your equipment and baiting you into fighting his enemies for him. The redundant enemies thing is something I hadn't thought about before and agree with you on-- I had about one memorable stuka bat moment and none with the pit drones, even if it was cool seeing them make a return.

I’m amazed you didn’t use the MP5K, it’s the weapon I used the most due to its two fire modes the first of which is weirdly accurate to the point where I was sniping people with it. I hardly used the SMG as I found it just not very fun, that’s not just because of the recoil either though that is an additional issue, I never really used it in any of the half life games to begin with as I just didn’t find it to be a fun to use compared to its alternatives. I only ever really used it when I first got it and if I really needed to.
