Title: Another HL2 discovery.

While testing various features of Source mapping in my little testing map I discovered that the crossbow bolts bounce/ricochet if they hit with a low enough angle. Teh H5x :D

Pretty well known, I use it all the time in DMing. Shooting at their feet allows for more error than straight at them, and its also pretty cool to see the corpse fly up in the air.

I didn't know ABS. :D

But I haven't picked up anything HL2 related since I beat it some time ago.

That's neat. I'll have to see if I can nail (literally) a few combine this way.
