I personally think (don't kill me for this) is that people simply miss how OP it was in HL1. I mean, some people say that Pulse Rifle is way better, but I think they are just both with their own niches. So concluding, Half-Life's 2 Submachine gun isn't bad, so I don't know why people hate on it so much. And it can work against the Combine (mainly CPs) but against OTA, it should be kept to close range, again, intended range. Grenades, while less of them, seem to deal similar amounts of damage (although sources say it deals 40, it can 1 shot a combine soldier that has 50 health), but also fly further and have a faster travel speed, and shorter delay (meaning you wont die as often from self damage). Because of this, it is really good against antlions (really handy on Highway 17, Sand Traps and This Vortal Coil's beginning with Sheckley and Griggs) that can die very quickly from it, especially if they jump at you. Sure, it may have little bit of smaller mag and tiny bit less damage, but it has way higher rate of fire (from my experience) technically having higher DPS than it's MP5 cousin and most weapons in Half-Life 2. Overview The MP5K was apparently set to be Half-Life 2s primary. The MP5K is a compact version of German-designed SMG, the H&K MP5, with a shorter barrel making it even more maneuverable and more easily concealed. The first installment was released on February 12, 2009, made on a budget of only 500 (USD) with 'no time, no crew, no script'. The Heckler & Koch MP5K, also known as SMG1, is a weapon cut from Half-Life 2. Following the story of four Resistance members escaping from City 17, it is set during the build up to the imminent destruction of the Citadel Core. However, HL2 SMG has a bunch of advantages over it's HL1 counterpart. Half-Life: Escape from City 17 is a short fan film directed by the Purchase Brothers. The Game builds upon cooperatively focused gameplay and Valves proprietary Source engine, the same game engine used in the original Left 4 Dead. Left 4 Dead 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter video game, the sequel to Valve Corporations Left 4 Dead. And finally, most important thing, it has only 3 nades in comparison to HL1's 10, yup, 10 nades. Half Life 2 Alyx Gun (SMG) (Left 4 Dead 2) - GameMaps. It also has 5 less bullets (not significant) and deals 1 less points of damage, so people might say it is weaker in general. It's an SMG, it is supposed to be a close to mid ranged weapon, it even had that function in HL1. The first thing people give the SMG crap for, is it's bad accuracy. But I want to respectfully disagree, and say that it is not only ok, but also really good! Which is Half-Life 2's submachine gun, and the fact everybody says, which is that it sucks. Ah, yes, the topic that a lot of people have talked about (and still talk about sometimes).
