The game wasn't released to hit Christmas, it was released to not miss the end of the console generation. They already had a deal with Microsoft to do CP2077 themed Xbox One X systems which had been manufactured the previous year. They couldn't leave it any longer, or else that deal would fall through.

9:48 Fun Fact: when Garry made Garry's Mod, he actually went out of his way to fix the missing shells issue. So, if you were to launch GMod, and pull out the pistol and shoot it, you'll notice that it does, in fact, eject shells. P. S. I am surprised that this bug slipped through Valve's multiple bug-fixing updates that they periodically release, even to this day. I bet someone did get fired for this blunder.

3:57 I thought that was my Samsung Galaxy s20 Ultra 5G 8GB+128GB phone's notification ringtone.

interesting bug/glitch in HL2 where If you held the RMB, then the LMB it would build up every bullet until you released. Meaning you could mag-dump in 1 shot like a shotgun. It was pretty fun. Got patched out several years ago, but was a thing for many years post release iirc

Fun fact, the half life 2 pistol sound is a over amplified/ clipped 38 revolver sound file from the Hollywood edge hpx sound library. The half life 1 Glock is very similar to sound ideas Sonic boom guns gunshot sound, but I think it predates the launch of that library, so it's just a similar recording most likely. Left 4 dead 2 does heavily use Sonic boom gunshots for it's new guns though. Tf2 uses a mix of sources mixed together, from Hollywood edge premiere edition, Sonic boom gunshots, sound ideas series 6000 extension 1 gunshots and or sound ideas guns collection (same recordings across two different libraries, much like how the Sonic boom gunshots are also in the 50 cd Valentino sound effect library. Not sure which came first, but liscensing from sound designers recordings to multiple different sound libraries even of competing companies, is (well, was) quite common. These days smaller startups selling on new marketplaces are actually thriving while Hollywood edge was bought by sound dogs, and sound ideas now effectively bought Hollywood edge from them, sound ideas is really the only major player left, and they don't release much new original content often. They're less creator, more rights holder now. While boom library, sound morph, and many others are basically the new wave now. Alyx's pistol in the hl:alyx uses some boom library sounds but heavily designed. (not to be confused with sonic boom, Sonic boom is a sound ideas library, boom library is an entire sound effect recording and design team that publishes vst plugins and sound libraries)

A note on the 18 rounds on HL1's Glock: as with any other self-loading weapon, you get one extra round by insetring a magazine, loading a round, and replacing the magazine (now 1 round short) with a full magazine. You get 17 rounds in a magazine +1 round in the chamber. So, it was kind of true in HL1, where you got one extra round by reloading a full magazine, but the animation didn't show running the slide and loading a round (as most games do not show a true reloading cycle). Idea was correct, but the implementation of it was not.

Gordon then puts a magazine into the gun and hits the slide release, meaning it's ready to fire and reloaded.

It seems Valve had an idea of how guns worked but was not very sure about it. Excellent video, by the way. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The older versions of HL2 also had remnants of a scrapped alt fire for the USP, which was supposed to be just like Glock's alt fire. Due to some glitch in the retail version you could hold M2+M1, then release M2 after a few seconds to shoot several rounds simultaneously with a VERY tight spread. Too bad it was "fixed" somewhere around Ep2 release. It wasn't even all that broken, because you must've wait the same amount of time which would take to fire the same amount by holding just M1.

Friends, this is your daily reminder about Bullsquids! Rejoice, and Thank You~!

Can't wait to see the video about Alyx's pistol, as it's your workhorse throughout the entire game. Always useful and it's accuracy is really only limited to how good you are yourself when with using it. Though it's kinda hard for it not to be useful throughout the entire game as Alyx only gives you 3 weapons (4 if you count the grenades) Though it does get better as you progress further into the game, with the upgrades to it. A neat idea from Valve I'd say. Instead of giving the player a ton of weapons, some of which will be useless as you progress further. Give the player a limited selection and make them useful the entire way. But also reward the player for exploring the levels as much as possible.

Hl2 leak’s usp is different on its reload animations, it’s kinda more sloppier than the release. The only difference aside from the brass eject. I love your videos.

Make such comparison for the other weapons too

Honestly when he started talking about “valve introducing things and then never having a reason to use them” kindve makes sense in the real world. Like if you got the rpg to take down a flying killing machine, and then having to run away. You’ll have this useless weight that you’ll have to drop off somewhere.

Yeah, in older versions of HL2, if you hold secondary attack button and then start holding in primary attack and keep holding both, you can sort of "charge" pistol shot. Upon releasing secondary button, the pistol will fire several shots(up to an entire mag) at once in one spot. It's said to be a leftover from cut burst fire attack which wasn't cut properly.

Something about the impactfulness of the weapons is what always influenced my enjoyment for using them, the Glock sounds as punchy as it deserves to be, it's slow but it's accuracy and damage output make up for it, meanwhile the USP sounds embarrassingly weak compared to the smg that it's shocking that the USP is stronger in terms of dps, because I feel like I'm slingshotting small pieces of hail more than I am shooting someone with a gun which actually does something with Half Life 2's... *Peashooter.*

@@Turbs94945 I disagree, looks can sometimes be unpromising, when it comes to the glock you want accuracy and more ammo capacity.

That's kinda funny, this is the first video I see from this channel and it popped up after just watching the latest Ross Scott fan chat.

In the pre-release of Half Life 2, the USP actually seems to have a glossy slide & dust cover, making it appear almost die-cast like.

There actually used to be a bug in earlier versions of half life 2 where you could do what was known as a ‘power shot’ with the pistol, where if you held down the right mouse button, then the left. He pistol wouldn’t fire until you released the right mouse button. If you held it long enough, you could fire the entire mag in one big shot. Supposedly at one point you could do it with the M16 in L4D1 could do the same thing, but I’ve never seen it myself

Editing in this is amazing.

3:52 that was so unexpected, it got me wheezing

9:36 the slide locks when empty and when you insert a new mag gordon uses the mag release to chamber a round or if you have reload with a chambered round there is no need to pull the slide. On both scenarios you will just expend a usable round so is better to have left the animation without pulling the slide

I had a hearty laugh after the opposing force joke

amazing upload as per usual

Green screen guy is one of my favorite youtbers! Good video!

For the record, the reloading glitch was exclusive to the WON Version of the game. By the time it got ported to Steam they patched it out. However, it's still present in a lot of older mods, famously Azure Sheep.

I like hl1’s better because it’s actually reliable while hl2’s is about as accurate as flat earth

5:53 Good to know I'm not the only one that has that gripe with OF.

I always liked the pistol sound more when it was fired by the metrocops

Last time I've been this fast was when i ran away from the doctor's office after finding out that I'm constipated when i was 6

hl2 pistol used to be abled to do charge shots due to a glitch on alt fire

What i loved about half life 2 pistol is definitely the rate of fire animation and sound, it gave this sense of being able to react definitely to danger and calm situations

I had a nightmare of the scientist on the thumbnail on the morning of one of the days in early August 2021.

I had a CD copy years ago of half life that let you reload the Glock even at full ammo. I loved it. I guess the steam version doesn't support that?

Fun Fact: The pistol and the magnum both share the same sound effects, the only difference is that Valve sped it up/pitch shifted it. I found it out when working on a sound mod for HL2, as much as I love HL1's compressed sound effects I didn't wanted to make sounds have weird quality changes, then I tried mixing both HL2 and HL1's proper gun sounds and came out glorious. However when working on the magnum sound effect (and since both sounds had different lenght) I accidentaly sped up the sound too much and came out exactly like the pistol, works the same way in reversed using the pistol and slowing it down.

Wow, a video with a unique style about a semi interesting thing with humor which doesn't assume you are a toddler, instant sub.

I never knew about the vortigaunt and early glock thing, thanks!

If you take the guards along on your journey in Half Life, you get rewarded more than just killing them for ammo, because they have an unlimited supply of ammo for themselves. Also, they seem to consistently kill all of the vortigaunts you meet for the first time in Office Complex. There's a whole group, and yet you can literally just take a guard, trigger the vortigaunts, and hide in the room right before it. There's also the grenades and stuff you get in that room after meeting the first houndeyes that a scientist needs to open. Of course, if you reach a point where a guard won't or can't follow you anymore, you can kill them for the ammo.

For deathmatch, the pistol is the last thing to use. You can only use it when you are forced to engage combat with other players right after you spawn. Otherwise, it will only get you killed if you try to use it.

2:54 Doesn't seem like a mistake to me as that other bullet could be the one in the chamber

Yeah it wasn't, it was just removed because people thought it was a bug and complained about it endlessly, and Valve removed it to calm people down.

The HL2 pistol is my favorite pistol in any game, ever. Perfect visuals and sound and it fires as fast as you can press the left mouse button. That echo is just awesome.

great video,now I love pistols even more.

Your talk of aesthetics is interesting. Just curious, if you have to choose a real handgun to model the pistol for the next half-life game, is there one that comes to mind. Personally, I like the general look of H&K pistols, specifically models chambered in 9mm.

Most likely since Half Life 3 would be set right after the ending of Half Life Alyx, it would most likely be the UPS Match again. Although if I had to pick a gun, I'd probably want to return to the Glock 17

I actually enjoyed that chapter. The striders are fun to fight, and once you know what you're doing, you won't have a chance of losing.

that cut assassin from HL2, especially in it's sniper form, reminds me of the Skulls in mgsv, the sniper ones.

i just recently found this channel and its awesome

honestly, i prefer the half life 1 pistol, gun preference cause i like glocks, i like its secondary fire, its more accurate, it shares ammo, and it sounds meaty for a pistol, espically compared to hl2's pistol. it also EJECTS SHELLS, and the slide goes back when out of ammo like an ACTUAL PISTOL, oh yeah, hl2 pre release pistol uses a different reload sound, more accurate, different hud indication sprite, and i believe it cant fire as fast, id have to go check the beta itself to find out. oh yeah the reload is slower too. also no clue why, but uh the shell casing models, are way too big compared to the guns themselves, i have no clue why they would make them so big the shells in half life 1 are just as big as the magizene

The secondary fire on the glock was AWFUL, even at close range. And that point just use the SMG lol

I absolutely hate the way HL2's pistol looks, sounds and feels. HL1 glock for me.

Honestly HL2's pistol just feels so sad. It sounds like a cheap BB gun, you hold it seemingly with one hand because it's such a peashooter, and it's damage is (understandably) outpaced the further you go into the game. Even mods that change the pistol sound alone always make it more attractive to use because it doesn't sound so pathetic.

9:43 on the reload, magin, the pistol goes up just a little bit more than the retail one. +a bit different texture

the hl2 usp match is very accurate. i find myself pretty much sniping with it

The Glock is better at my opinion, or the 9mm semi-automatic pistol for that matter.
