[edit] Overview
- The Binoculars cannot be spawned with
impulse 101; the codegive weapon_binocularsmust be entered. - They can zoom in to five times normal sight, however the player cannot fire weapons while using it.
- They were finally integrated into the suit as the "zoom" feature, and the crossbow's scope.
- Sound files found in its related sound folder also contain garbled voice sounds and the excerpt of a yodeling song, suggesting the Binoculars were to intercept radio signals.
[edit] Behind the scenes
According to the Binocular's code in the leaked source code, the Binoculars were to have a black mask while zoomed in, a different crosshair and animations for zooming in.[1]
[edit] Trivia
In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still containing the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The Binoculars are among them.
