Half Life 2 with a Novint Falcon

Using the Novint Falcon with Half Life 2 requires a mod called Haptics-Life 2. You can get it from here:
https://backup.filesanywhere.com/fs/v.aspx?v=8b6c688a5f6574bd9e6b

It may not look like it but the feedback is very strong and makes aiming more of a challenge when shooting. There are pistol grips for the Falcon that have yet to hit retail (as of the date of posting this video.)
You can reserve a pistol grip and purchase the falcon all at novint.com

Looks a bit useless. Feedback? If your weapons are giving you feedback, doesn't that put you at a disadvantage to mouse using players?

[sonikkuffffff]

It does but you will knowingly go into the online servers accepting that challenge.

Is this worth it sonikkuffff? I want to know before I purchase this item.

[sonikkuffffff]

Only if you are looking for a different way to play games. I don't know it's your call. As of now I no longer own it so I won't be uploading new videos about it.

Personally, I'm barely good at TF2 using a mouse. I can imagine the learning curve with this thing if I was playing online.

They have them at walmart for 150 apparently. i think i'm going to pick one up soon. how often do you use it? Also, i have been wondering, if you get the drivers that they are releasing for say, tf2, can you play online with people who aren't using a falcon while you are using one?

[sonikkuffffff]

They are mods for the games, not drivers. Those are completely different. But no, you should look up the official list of games they are making mods for because there aren't many completed right now. Half-Life 2 is the only one I have that can utilize the Novint Falcon (it's actually a third-party sourcemod game named Haptics-Life 2.)

@people who say it puts you at a disadvantage..

the novint is made to make games more fun. not so you have more points.

[apocaRUFF]

Kind of looks like a mech control.

@sonikkuffffff

The falcon does NOT require mods, it can be used with any program.

[Pwnzornaut]

@0mikr0n

You can disable the feedback.

[Pwnzornaut]

The OP doesn't know what they are talking about. MODS are NOT required to play using the Falcon.

The Falcon can be used with ANY computer game now, because of the 'F-Gen' Drivers they developed.

You can disable the recoil, or retune the sensitivity if you want.

Yes, you CAN play game with people that are NOT using the Falcon, since it is a standardized Peripheral that does NOT require MODS.

Would be useless on games where you just look up instead of real recoil

@No3225 I got one a long while ago, its fun for a little, then you put it away since its too hard to use and you need a good desk to use it on. My desk is too tight to do it justice although I'm not sure how much justice can be done. It's a good effort and I'd like to see it evolve, but it needs work like an ambidextrous pistol grip.

[No3225]

@Makron5 ha ha ha

pathetic!

IF YOU LIKE FPS GAMES DONT BUY THIS HIT!

it is very uncomfortable

if you play online fps game with this shit you are going to day!

hey you should buy it so i can pawn you all with my cheapest mouse!!

[MrApophis]
