The One Thing I Worry About Regarding Half-life 2

Looking at HL^2, there is something troubling me. An aspect from the original that may not be accuratly captured. With the onset of realistic physics and rag-doll models, it begs the question:

How will I gib dead scientists?!

It was one of the best parts of Half-Life, but how will I be able to blow corpses apart in Half-Life 2?

    I won't play HL2 unless they have gibbing, this is something very dear to me.

    May not be imbedded orignally (at least not to the same *massive explosion* scale) but it should be a pretty simple fix after the game is released...

    Bodies gib if hit in certain ways. Example: 'trap town' video. Those hoping for head and limb decapitations will be dissapointed though, its no SOF2.

    Can you beat a corpse with a crowbar until it blasts into a multitude of bloody chunks though??

    I think that that is the real question!

    in the video he shoots a combine soilder with a rocket launcher and his body flys across the map i think its safe to say there is no gibbing <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    SOF2 was so win..

    /me hearts knifing dead bodies verrry slowly to produce a hannibalesque lidless head with brain exposed... or turning a corner to empty a 12ga. buckshot shell in some poor bastard's stomach and watching his ravaged entrails start to spill before he drops.. or shooting him in the face and watching wet, bloody brain matter drip from the cavity where his mouth used to be..

    OR JUST CUTTING PEOPLE'S ARMS OFF111!1!111

    SOF(1) is more gore than SOF2 if I recall it well.

    About the HL2 gibbing, EVEN if it is not included, I'm 100% sure the community will make a little modification xD

    You can do that in the 2nd one. Personally I like to pick out bits of their brain with my knife <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It sounds like some people need <a href='http://vivisector.com/' target='_blank'>Vivisector</a>. From what i've heard, this game will be on-par with SOF1 as far as corpse dismemberment goes. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
