Yeah a guy I met in the sewers was straight up just destroying them with half a dozen swings from a sharpened kitchen knife. I was under the impression they had a lot of health but I guess not?

Should probably take something a bit more substantial than a sharp kitchen knife to really break them, but that's just me and my hot take.

Half a dozen swings from a Sharpened Kitchen with a guy whom has enough strength would break delicate equipment like a Combine Camera. I don't think the health of the Cameras should be increased since that will make it harder for people with guns or vort-beams to take them down.

Needless, to say I think its fine if people are breaking cameras as that makes sense. The cameras in the sewers are not designed to last for long and require constant maintenance.

I dunno man. I'm not saying make them unbreakable. I'm just saying if five swipes from a knife can destroy a camera then why even replace them? Literally a pointless activity the CWU will get dragged into doing nightly.
 
Cp's are already given full armor and guns. Executing people in sewers like it was CoD everyday. Boosting hp on the cameras is the least that should be worried about. And even if you gave it more HP or made it tougher to break. Someone is still going to swing at it until it breaks. This feels more like a situation that should be dealt IC rather than in a OOC suggestion. Put cameras at a better spot or unreachable heights. Or simply stop putting cams in the sewers as that's already a jumbo dumbo idea from the beginning. But if Cp's are going to try the 2nd option then they gotta get to that elevation themselves as they are the ones installing it.

Ok. I guess I'll get the budding CWU R&D department to design new cameras with reinforced Armour for high-risk areas. We have the engineering skill and may soon have the funds to see it through.

Could be fun. Seeing as we're the one's who in fact install them down there.

Look. Slap armor on it. Slap a big CWU logo on it aswell so we really know who did it. So, we in return can eventually slap a sucide vest on some guy to alakbar the CWU complex.

Jokes aside. Cp faction can literally beat the crap out of any group,resistance or faction. Being mad over some cameras being destroyed is the least of worries.:smug::smug::smug:
 
I dunno, as a CWU worker, I really like the sewer repairs. Its dangerous and exciting. The CP's have to escort the defenseless workers into dangerous alien/rebel territory. Plus it adds a risk/reward for the rebels. Do they accept the camera and try to leave it alone? Or do they destroy it, and risk bringing down a team of CP's and workers, potentially exposing themselves?
 
They belong in the sewers, they're watching over Combine entry points. The sewers aren't a safezone, and if you're dumb enough to go down there at least be smart enough to cover your face. On another note, I don't mind people destroying cameras, but the problem is: THEY NEVER ROLEPLAY IT. We have no way of knowing who did it and we can never mark them as AC. Destroying cameras means you get off scott-free.

do logs not show who killed npc X?
 
They're HL2 npcs, we can't edit their health sadly
