This lets you boost yourself to higher places without the complete mobility provided by the usual grappling hooks, which is a nice balancer. The Glock has a secondary fire that will push you a little in the direction you're facing. I won't list all of the new effects here, as there is fun to be had in discovering what things do. Fortunately, the "drunken rocket" effect helps to offset the crowbar as a major weapon. If you're the type who's used to shrugging off a few hits and only trying to dodge shots from big weapons, you're in for a rude awakening. Weapon balance is taken up a bit in Rocket Crowbar many weapons are quite lethal. Most notable is the secondary fire on the crowbar, which fires a rocket (and thus, the name of the mod). Enough with the extra stuff let's see the weapons!Īll of the Rocket Crowbar weapons have different effects than the standard Half-Life ones. There is also a very basic bot included, if you're really short on people to kill. The person hosting the server just has to edit the appropriate text files in the mod directory and activate the poll via a console command (see below). Secondly, the mod includes the option of a little pregame poll. Best of all, you can have up to six teams for some really chaotic fun. All you have to do is make sure teamplay is on and that at least two teams are listed in the server options. First of all, the server can enable a CTF mode on any deathmatch level. Rocket Crowbar is basically a weapons modification mod, but the new HL 1.1-compatible version has a couple of extra tricks up its sleeve. If you're looking for wacky fun, Rocket Crowbar delivers.

Rocket Crowbar is of the latter type, and one of the best out there right now. And then you have mods that make you laugh your ass off. Still others evoke fear and revulsion with a dark, gloomy feel.

Others seek to bring popular movies to Half-Life in order to replicate the feeling of the movie in a game. Some mods out there work to provide a realistic atmosphere or a sense of being a part of a military unit.
