Correct, but Black Mesa does not allow you to replicate the exact camera behavior of the Half-Life 2 crowbar. I decided no camera shake at all was the best compromise.

Well maybe I'd be happy with one of the configurations :)

I actually tried that at first but I could never find camera shake settings I was personally happy with, sorry.

Do you think you could make a mod where the camera shake isn't as harsh as vanilla? Like just make it subtle

Ah, I didn't realize! I always felt like the Hl2 one was more powerful, maybe just because it swung slower lol

I strongly considered a damage buff, actually! However, Black Mesa's default crowbar damage is 10, which is the same as Half-Life 2 and twice as much as Half-Life 1. Since you can kill a zombie in 5 hits or a headcrab in 1 hit in both BMS and HL2, I decided it was fine as is.

can the slower speed come with an increase in damage to compensate perhaps?
