I like the hoppers, not half as much as the charges you could use for
ambushes in HL1 but they're still good fun. No, I've rarely thrown them
- too inaccurate for me, but in that part you do get enough time to lay
a couple at each side where the CP's take cover - you have to sprint
though and you can't be messing around looking for more hoppers - you
need to know where they are.
On switching weapons I always use the scroll wheel on the mouse. Takes
about an hour to get used to where each gun is and then its immediate
and instinctive. Also - watch your ammo counter - don't run dry and
never go into an area that looks like a trap without reloading
And... if the game paused in combat I wouldn't buy it. How immersive is
that?
