Practicality isn't relevant when you rule with fear.

Now that I think about it, the first game had more alien weapons than the second

That's the point, making them visible to scare off people.

>HL2 """alien gun""" is just an assault rifle with a weird alt-fire

dem niggas wanted to give you a fair enough warning

I wouldn't even consider it alien, more just futuristic

They want people to stay away from where they are; it's effectively a lethal version of police tape

Walk further and die, dipshit

You know this happens in real life, right? You can just hide a tesla coil in your backyard and electrocute potential robbers, but aside from being illegal and very dangerous, people choosez to put an electric fence and a sign to encourage people to fuck off and don't try to break in, because that's what you want.

>make invisible mine
>someone blows up
>entry is now unrestricted

>make visible mine
>blow no one up
>nobody wants to be the one who gets blown up
>entry is still guarded

If the reasoning behind something stupid is stupid then it’s still stupid. Having reason at all doesn’t exempt it from being stupid, it’s expected.

>I don't understand the concept therefore it is stupid

they also switch sides if you pick them up with the gravity gun and drop them

I get the joke. I ain’t laughing but I get it.

Ok what if those things are like 200 lbs or some shit? So a normal dude who didn't have a gravity gun would be kinda fucked if it went off. Maybe it's not used to catch someone off guard as much as it is used purely for area denial. Just a theory, it's probably just shit design though.
