Why Half-Life 2's crowbar kills in two hits.
the GAMEGOBLIN | 11:52 PM on 08.05.2007 6 comments




Look I like half-life.

I also like pizza, but like I'm gonna write up a blog about pizza.

Yesterday somehow a conversation about paintball with my friends led to a debate between Halo or Half-Life. They (two of them) are big halo fans. So naturally I put my dukes up and we lashed out at each other using videogame knowledge over a game of Worms Armageddon on my Dreamcast.

One of them mentioned no melee button.

I said that Gordon was a geek (a cool one btw) and didn't have enough strength to kill with a gun butt.

He then starts to question how the crowbar could kill a Metro Cop in two hits if Gordon was so weak. I kicked myself for saying that, but I just rolled with it and came up with a theory.

The crowbar has small magnets embedded inside the tip. Combine have very large amounts of iron in their blood, and a hit from the crowbar would pull all the iron in their blood to that spot that they were hit because of the magnet and the iron clumps together creating a tumor. And the second hit successfully burst the tumor killing them instantly.

I have no life.

No the real answer is it's a freaking crowbar. If my little sister hit me in the face with one I'd go down with a huge gash in my face.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if your weak or not, a crowbar to the face twice might put someone down.

The only thing that matters is arms and size (like an infant or an armless man can wield a crowbar successfully).

The HEV suit (especially the one in HL2) prolly does a teensy bit more than shield Gordon from bullets. It probably adds a little bit of strength in.

But yeah, I concur with everyone else. It's a fucking crowbar. If you wish to see how long it'd take for someone to go down, give a crowbar to your friend and insult his mother.
