Talk:Desert Eagle

From Combine OverWiki, the Half-Life Wiki

This IS Canon, as it appeared in Half-Life.

No.

The female Black Ops in Half-Life did not use the Desert Eagle, they use silenced Glock 17s (the same kind of pistol as the player's) and hand grenades, that's it. --MattyDienhoff 18:26, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Opoosing force is canon unless somebody at valve says it isn't. So far they havn't denied nor confirmed the canonicity of the game. But since it's an official expansion, we have no reason to doubt it.

[edit] Name

Considering this is only loosely based on the real Desert Eagle, it might be better to give this article a generic name (like we did with most of the other weapons). The question is, what? Does anyone know if this weapon is named in-game (or, perhaps, in the game's manual?) I don't know if it's ever referred to by name, and if I recall correctly no name is displayed on the HUD when you go to select a weapon, unlike in Half-Life 2... --MattyDienhoff 13:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

The Drill Sergeant in the boot camp calls it a Desert Eagle, I think.

No one calls it a Desert Eagle but it holds 7 rounds, looks like a desert eagle, and uses large caliber ammunition so everyone assumes it is a Desert Eagle
