Maybe the military would have stopped the invasion if they actually used those nukes to kill them.

The Hornet gun is more fun to use than to slowly kill guys. Maybe have alt fire shoot out a wide swarm like a grenade.

New weapon collected

Gluon gun

  • Primary fire: Fire continuous beam
  • Secondary fire: None
  • Ammo: Gauss battery module
Just like the gauss, the gluon gun is an experimental weapon. Firing it will create a powerful beam, which can be used to quickly sweep an area.

I never knew the real name of the weapon for years. I always called it the proton pack. Fun fact, its entity name is weapon_egon.

My lovely theory is that they must be leeches that grew up. Or you know, terrible quality control from Black Mesa.

Did you guys try the unstick command in that last video. I think it's like bound to L or J or something and I think it's in the command menu too. Also; are you gonna play any more campaigns? I recommend getting the Resident Evil one off the svencoop site because it includes a game mode where you have to barricade a house with lots of crap lying around while zombies come flooding in from the hedges..

I somehow managed to play through all of Xen without realizing that pools and tubes healed you until literally the last boss.

I'm still both disappointed and impressed with myself that I made it through with only the medkits I found on corpses. :downs:

Side B - Courtesy of Hornet. also some lovely post fix that didn't get used

New weapons collected:

Pipe wrench

  • Primary fire: Club / repair
  • Secondary fire: Power swing
  • Ammo: None
The wrench is similar to the crowbar, but swings at a much slower rate. However, it does much more damage. Use the power swing to get especially heavy swings.
Tip: The longer you hold power swing before releasing, the more powerful the swing will be. There is a limit though.
Note: The pipe wrench can now repair your turrets, both sentry and mounted. It can also revive them.

Combat knife

  • Primary fire: Slash
  • Secondary fire: Toggle electricity on/off (donors only)
  • Tertiary fire: Throw knife
  • Ammo: None
The combat knife featured in Opposing Force acts as a direct replacement for the crowbar, and is officially available to other maps. It functions exactly the same as the crowbar, but has a higher attack rate due to its lower weight.
Tip: With the electricity on you also beat objects faster, but keep an eye on your HEV power.
Note: The new tertiary fire, where you throw your knife, is bound to MOUSE3 (middle button) by default. The command for this is +alt1


Desert Eagle

  • Primary fire: Single shot
  • Secondary fire: Toggle laser pointer on/off
  • Ammo: .50
The desert eagle is a powerful pistol, but rather inaccurate in single fire mode.
You can increase the accuracy considerably by enabling the barrel-mounted laser pointer at the cost of a slower fire rate.
The rate of fire and accuracy is better than the .357 magnum and offers 7 shots, however less powerful.

Uzis

  • Primary fire: Automatic fire
  • Secondary fire: Toggle between single/akimbo uzi
  • Ammo: 9mm
The uzi is a very fast submachine gun with a 32 round clip that does a lot of damage very quickly, however your ammo is used up very fast.
Doubled up you get twice the fire power, but twice the reload time.
Tip Akimbo uzis can only be acquired by special akimbo uzi items, or picking up someone elses uzi.
Note The gold uzis shown are only available to donors, and do considerably more damage than the standard grey ones. Donors can choose to use the grey ones, but still with the power level of the gold uzis.

I don't know what youtube did to its encoder but it seems to have broke the compression when uploading these videos, I tried a bunch of different methods but it still looks a little hosed up.

Episode 14: Be-doop be-doop be-doop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TpkxW02Gyg

Side B - Courtesy of Hornet.

New weapons collected:

Displacer Cannon

  • Primary fire: Single shot
  • Secondary fire: Self-teleportation
  • Ammo: Gauss battery module
Primary fire shoots a portal out of the cannon, secondary fire generates a portal around the user. The portals generate an AOE so they are useful for taking out multiple enemies at once.

Spore Launcher

  • Primary fire: Short shot
  • Secondary fire: Long shot
  • Ammo: Spores
A creature from race X that fires spores from its mouth also thrown by shock troopers. The spore creates a large acid splash on explosion.
The spores will bounce for a distance, then stop. They explode on player/NPC contact or after 4 seconds of being fired.
This artillery support weapon is best used in open spaces to avoid hurting yourself.
Info Spores can be picked up from a small plant that creates them, but be aware that the plants don't like harsh treatment.
Warning The acid splash creates a large amount of damage. Be sure to stay clear of spores when they explode.
Warning Bouncing spores could bounce right back and explode in your face.

Barnacle Grapple

  • Primary fire: Launch tongue
  • Secondary fire: Toggle between pull/rappel mode
  • Ammo: None
The Barnacle is used to help players reach areas that are too high to jump. It can only attach to players, certain monsters, and certain Xen surfaces (as shown on the right).
The way the Barnacle grapple works is defined by the map creator. On some maps, it will only attach to small monsters. On others, it will pull monsters to you instead of the other way around.
Unique to the Sven Co-op version of the Barnacle grapple, players can either be pulled by the grapple, or be dropped slowly (rappel), depending on what mode is chosen.
Finally, the Barnacle grapple can also be used to eat monsters similar to a regular Barnacle. The difference is the grapple is much smaller, thus takes much longer to kill an enemy. This bite is only effective against very small monsters, such as headcrabs.
Note You can grapple onto your fellow players allowing you to, for example, boost another player onto a ledge then grapple up to the ledge yourself. Alternately, if you were on a ledge above a deep cavern, you could grapple onto a player and rappel to the bottom. You could even use the barnacle to hold onto another player as he swings through a tricky grapple course.
Tip You can swap between Rappel and Pull modes while the barnacle is attached to a surface, this allows you to bungee.

I am sure the Displacer is Valve's passive aggressive excuse to kill greedy players. The pitfall trap is not the only way that gun killed me many times I used it.

New weapon collected:

M249 SAW

  • Primary fire: Automatic fire
  • Secondary fire: None
  • Ammo: 5.56 mm
The M249 SAW (squad automatic weapon) is a powerful yet portable machine gun with a high firing rate and damage. It can be used to provide supporting fire for team mates. It has a belt of 200 5.56 mm rounds, but suffers high reload time.
Note The SAW has such a high recoil that it will knock the player backward while firing.

Just about every map with soldiers ended up with them betraying me even if they were fighting aliens. Using the Displacer to spawn near them would make them pause for a bit and start shooting. Each map, I could hear them loudly taunting me no matter where they were.
