Official Half-Life 2 Event Feedback

[TwewT]

I'm gonna have to upgrade my Terrible vote to Unplayable. I was farming some crops in a very remote location next to the train tracks and somebody came up and handcuffed me. They weren't even illegal, they were pumpkins. I went ahead and took the 24 hour ban because fuck this event.

 

[Clutch Master FTW]

It really was a cool event for the first day, and a change from the original game mode. But really it should of only been a 24 hour event. Because of how long it is, this event is gonna be remembered by me as not a very fun one...

 

[Alphadef]

I definitely feel I could grow to enjoy the mode a lot, but I definitely feel like we should have given a bit more prep time for players and staff to fully understand the major changes before the switch, be that with just giving the rules/guide a couple days earlier or a video guide/example

It sounds like a lot of the criticism is from the Combine overstepping the boundary between strict and just straight up unplayably abusive. I think given the fact that for most, this is an entirely new concept, there was going to be lots of people not playing CPs and Overwatch appropriately and would likely require a few weeks of this gamemode being established for everyone to play the roles correctly.

Otherwise, we could’ve compensated and made the laws much more loose, but it wouldn’t have been a proper HL2 RP.

the half life 2 startup was pretty cool, then the CPs started power tripping. it became aids. arrested me then killed me because i was running. ended up losing 2 guns lol
Honestly anyone who actually enjoyed that I applaud.

Due to the inherently abusive nature of playing combine, and the limited resources of staff, many infractions are going unhandled. Many people view being combine as a license to abuse whomever they want however they want.

Event is terrible, CPs running around arresting you for every single little shit or they will shoot you, they will also search you and take what they want. And there is not much to do. I wanted to play monolith not Half-Life 2 RP.

Nothing is forcing you to play, also if you don't want to get arrested just be as passive as possible and follow directions. CP are not cops.

This is why me and my friends opted out of playing for now and we are waiting for the event to end, and also I have my right to express my opinion.

I never said you didn't have a right to express your opinion, when did I say that exactly?

First day was really great, I loved the rp and overall it was fun. However on second day as a civ I was getting searched every 2-3 minutes and knocked out every now and then for no reason. Today I got pretty damn annoyed, let too much out and ended up with 1 month ban. Will have to change my vote to terrible as it's just unplayable right now. Also my ban would probably never happen if not for that event.
tl;dr: was fun last year, this year i'm sick of it fuck that

 

[TwewT]

So happy that it's over with.

It was an amazing experience, all these Fortnite main sub-18 year old noobs thinking it was bad; Half Life 2 > city roleplay

Thought I would scoop in and give my opinion on this event!

When I first logged on I was really confused about Half Life 2 Roleplay, since this was my first time trying out this gamemode. When I finally loaded in I had kevlar and a lot of ammo on me. And the first thing that happened to me was that I got insta arrested. At this point I was so confused as to why I was brought in but later I found out how Half Life 2 works and runs. So after this incident, I learned a lot towards the combine side and the criminal side. There were some quite strict laws that I had to get used to, but after the laws and rules were under control I started to actually enjoy it. I mean we all had our ups and downs during this. But today and yesterday was actually really enjoyable, and it was pretty interesting roleplaying as combine and criminal since im pretty much used to Monolith basics etc.

If I would've rated my personal experience during this, it would be an 8/10. Good job on the ones that developed this!

• Can't sugar coat it, that was bad. I'm not even 100% sure to as of why the switch was made but the actual gameplay was extremely frustrating.
• Outside of rp it seemed like less time was given to sits leaving the combine to pretty much do what they wanted to.
• There was no real incentive to become a resistance member other than fragrp which combine guns and numbers made short work of. The map initially was very confusing navigating finding npcs but I suppose that's the point living in an occupied area.
• Another problem I had was finding the rules, kinda left me confused on when I was allowed to take action against cps.
• The pros? The actual intent of the server. I could see it working out about as well as it was planned the problem was the planning.

I never said you didn't have a right to express your opinion, when did I say that exactly?

While I say it as well, saying "You don't have to play" or so and so when someone's giving an opinion, is a bit of a shutdown ngl, and some people can take that with hostility and whatnot, probably why they thought yous aid they didnt have that right




Problem was planning imo. The Combine were absolutely fucked that event and I'll admit I was part of the problem, going on powertrips and whatnot. The mentality for hl2rp isn't here imo, since a lot of us just wanna shoot shit. The only way I enjoyed the event was either raiding the nexus with the entire server, or being a cop and just grabbing people for minor reasons and beating them in an apartment block.

Honestly I felt there was a lacking aesthethic to it. What I mean by this is it didn't *feel* like hl2rp, but more like a reskin with a few rules added and a few guns added into the mix. I saw one zombie during the whole event, and that was infront of the hospital. One lone zombie. I'd have enjoyed more events over the 4 day periods letting admins go wild with the RP type events rather than TDM and shit.

Loved the event. There were some times where I felt like there was nothing to do but something eventually came up. I don't know if it's because I love the half-life series already and have played the games and love the lore of the combine and everything about living in the half-life universe. So maybe that's why I loved it so much. I can see how most people don't know what the hell Half-life 2 RP is and didn't know what to do.
