The strength of the kick varies depending on the inertia of the player and the kick_powerscale setting. The move is fully integrated into the physics engine so if you kick an object, it can be sent flying. As with the flashlight and sprinting, the player's auxiliary battery is drained by bullet time, but at a much faster rate.Ī melee attack possibly inspired by a similar move in the game Duke Nukem 3D.

When Half-Life 2 was first released in 2004 on its newly developed Source engine, it was a benchmark for what games were capable of in terms of physics, facial animation and overall graphics prowess.
As Kotaku notes, that original toolset was a mod itself, expanding on the Quake engine's framework. But, the end result might make you nostalgic for that resonance cascade we witnessed at Black Mesa in 1998.
