First of all,id like to say that from now on were going to give more frequent updates so you'll get at least one a week.
Second,i wanted to see about how you guys felt about weapon customization as a feature.If we put it in you'd be able to add laser sights,flashlights etc. it would also mean we would need to incorporate an A.D.S feature and i don't know if that would really fit the Half Life vibe were going for.
anyway please leave your thoughts about this below,and if you guys don't want it that's fine we just wont put it in.
I'll have to say no... it just doesn't fit Half-Life.
As long as you incorporate it extremely well and give us a reason to use it in game (E.x make the game harder), I'll be fine with it.
If we do incorparate it and its not just multiplayer we would be almost completly rewriting tne combat system so its harder and youd need to make use of weapon mods
Honestly, I don't think we'll incorporate this. As you stated RobertFC, it doesn't fit Half-Life.
Maybe, in the future, if we were to do an open world HL2 RPG, that could work, but not for Dark Skies.
I think this might be a good idea. After all this is not Half-Life 2. It could have been, but it is not. Therefore it doesn't need to play like Half-Life 2. However, I do see two problems with it:
1. You probably work hard enough without it.
2. Gordon isn't a soldier, but a scientist. That doesn't mean he can't do it though, because he isn't supposed to use weapons anyway.
well since hes a scientist and hes really smart it makes sense hed be able to figure out how guns work
Depends on the field of science he's in (theoretical physics). And the game is still very much HL2 in my opinion. Think of it as an alternate reality.
Yet it is not. Alternate reality can have alternate gameplay. It could be nice to have a rather major change like this, but I understand why you wouldn't want to do it.

We are using the scrapped weapons... most of them anyway. There's a few like the three SMG's that we won't include (we'll only have one as they all do pretty much the same thing).
Will you be using oicw?
There is absolutely no way you could convince me not to include it. Its my favorite weapon out of every thing cut and still in HL2.
Here's a list of every weapon planned for the mod. Moddb.com
What smg will you be using?
