It's useful for killing the Citizen Patrol guards, its then instantly replaced by the MP7. It pretty much gets outclassed by the MP7 in all aspects and you find a lot more ammo for the MP7 over the course of the game, you're pretty much supposed to forget that it exists.

There's usually a lot of good reasons to use a pistol unless it's pic related. Really, all weapons in Half-Life campaigns feel underwhelming compared to when they're used in multiplayer. For a game where physics was the wow factor when it came out, pumping a bunch of nerf darts into one Combine soldier really lacked weight.

>>316567882
They tried way too hard to mimick the guns of HL1 and the shooting mechanics of HL1, neither of those are really reasons people love HL1.

HL2 is a drastically different game with much bigger areas of engagement and a much bigger focus on attacking Combine soldiers, HL1 is much more crampt and had a pretty big focus on aliens, so these shooting mechanics feel really frustrating over the game. I just wish they had the balls to change the game up a bit more.

>>316567921

In HL2 beta, the MP7 was just a machine pistol. The Overwatch soldiers had OICWs, which fired 5.56mm bullets and 20mm grenades. The "AR2" was a combine incendiary rifle. And the secondary fire mode that shoots those dark matter orbs was one of the fire modes of the Combine Guard gun. Many of the weapons in HL2 are compromises brought on by cut content.

Any hot new SoC mods? I downloaded LURK and I'm already not feeling it. The low carry weight makes finding new guns kinda irrelevant, and the UI looks fucking horrid.

>Valve will never have an interest in balancing CS:GO beyond the very basic meta game

It's pretty fucking dumb, there's a ton of guns that see 0 use in high level games, beyond people just fucking around. They even nerfed the CZ so hard that no one will use it anymore and a lot of players think that's a good thing.

There was a mod out there that tweaked a bunch of shit with the pistols, rifles, and LMGs to make everything a lot more viable. I just wish Valve will see something like that and think about improving the game by making all the guns viable. and also nerf the pistols a bit, and also buff first shot accuracy with the mid range rifles

In many games pistol is my favorite weapon because shotguns somehow lose all their strength if the target is not in your face and machine guns have terrible accuracy plus each bullet does low damage.

You're an idiot but you're half-correct. Let me educate you so that you can stop being an idiot for future purposes

Most pistol rounds are going to weigh more and be of a higher caliber than the standard 5.56 nato. You're correct in saying that the faster velocity is what gives them the overall higher kinetic energy. Even .380 weighs more than 5.56 and the length of the cartridge or bullet is irrelevant

Funny how that pistol retains more use than the HL2 pistol. I can remember switching to the HL1 pistol despite it sharing an ammo pool with the MP5, just because it was fairly more accurate.

The gunplay in E.Y.E. is the best part of the game. You really can't go wrong with any gun and they are all satisfying to use.

Shame the rest of the game is so obtuse, though. Running around the sewer level and one-shotting guys with the Black Crow was really fucking fun for like 3 hours straight - you can't say that about most shooters.
>>
>>316576259
Exploding cars in the city levels or killing multiple police/bandit guys with a single shot was really fun.

Despezadora (or the sulfatum/minigun) and BK is a great combo.

>>316588127
>one-shotting guys with the Black Crow
How? From what i remember the black crow was weak as shit (although it worked reasonably well against unarmored guys).

They're useless because of CoD's mechanics. If they actually game them some range (like the spas in MW2?) they would be strong as heck.

They're just cone of death weapons with a short range, not specifically terrible.

>>316588127
Playing E.Y.E. as primarily a shooter is how it should be done. No idea why someone would do a primarily melee or magic build. That one explosion sword can carry you far as fuck against the monsters in that one sewer level though.

Dual wield attacks take off alot of health, and even stamina and you can just use potions while youre at it. Dual wield was the only bearable thing in skyrim.

It's more a question of good design. Keeping the pistol useful late-game should be a matter of swithing to it based on the circumstances at hand, managing your ammo reserves or dealing with certain enemies that require more accuracy instead of a ton of raw power. RE games are usually good with this (except when you get a magnum which is pretty much the "fuck you" weapon of the games)

No gun is really useless in FC3, everything is actually decently balanced. Boring, but balanced.

Dual wielding requires you to be pretty much defenseless, Skyrim has terrible combat mechanics so some shit just will not work on the highest difficulty. I still rocked shit with it one difficulty lower though.

I used the pistol class in 1 and it worked out fine. shooting mechanics in 1 were complete shit, but the 1 cooldown per 3 abilities was ass in 2. Shoulda made abilities cooler and had them on separate cooldowns.

Better at range than the PPSh because of the lower ROF. It's pretty much a Russian MP40 equivalent.

PPSh is superior up close though.

The pistol in half-life 1 was accurate,fast and did moderately high damage.plus ammo was common place.

The stealth pistol from deus ex could kill enemies with a few headshots.

The pistol from the original halo was like the HL1 pistol but with a zoom.
