In reply to the ‘throwing medkits’, thats actually where a majority of my deaths come from. My pc is old and objects in the distance fade. So when I aim for something heavy like a barrel thats far away, I sometimes end up picking up a small, useless object.

Ah yes, HL2DM map makers don’t have a clue how to furnish their maps. Even some of the official ones are too light on debris. Lockdown is my firm favourite, though the ground floor room in Overwatch is the most intense single area for Gravity Gun fights. Usually it’s me down there crushing people, while a guy at the top camps the RPG and picks off those foolish enough to run around outdoors. We compete for kills, but never actually fight each other. We are of different worlds.

Ok, on further inspection, I was just playing on crap maps with no objects around. Gravity gun wins.

What are you throwing, medkits?

That a startlingly different experience to mine. I’ve tried Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, but attempting to use the gravity gun just gets me killed. A lot. There’s never enough physics objects to be thrown, and the SMG invariably kills quicker even when you have an object ready and are accurate.
