Creatures I dislike due to programming the most would be…
probably ant lions, they get somewhat annoying. For creatures that simply make me crap my pants… fast zombies.
Antlions until they became my friends. (leading a bug army FTW)
HUNTERS. OMFG I HATE HUNTERS
Honestly, I didn’t like the combine soldiers. They were bland and kind of uninteresting. They were definitely appropriate… trying to push human characteristics onto them, for example, would have made them much worse, so they were good as blank emotionless killing machines. It’s just that the Combine is a multi-dimensional galaxy-spanning empire. You’d think you would see a few non-human soldiers mixed in, which would’ve made them a lot more interesting.
Striders are non-human soldiers, aren’t they?
they are aliens
I hate the baby head crabs that you encounter when you first travel to Xen in Half Life 1. They were pointless and hard to shoot on top of that. Other than that, I would probably choose the Gene Worm (the final boss in Opposing Force); it was too easy to kill and had too obvious of a weakness.
from half life: leeches. they, are, freaking, EVERYWHERE. in half life they even got immortal ghost leeches that disappear when you get closer to shore
half life 2: poison headcrabs and poison zombies. they just don’t have the same feel as regular headcrabs
half life 2, episode 3: i wished i could say
Actually I don’t really like Hunters. I hate that each hunter is like a mini-boss to kill. I miss the old one-shotgun-shot-to-the-head-kill kind of action. I also hate that it doesn’t shoot normally at you, it shoots exploding arrows that go everywhere and explode a bit later, it makes it very difficult to tell what the hell is going on, where it’s shooting from, what to look out for, how to take cover, etc… Especially when you’re in your car, it’s like "ohhhh, here we go again, Press Quick Load "
I wish you could just kill them with a normal explosive barrel. Then of course they could be challenging to aim at, since they would jump away, making it difficult. I would also like them more if they shot normal bullets at you rather than the explosive dispersed crap.
^ that. Hunters was the worst.
Assassins in Half-Life 1 …they were too fast to shoot and would come out of nowhere! The Antlions in Half-Life 2 were just annoying!
Headcrabs. Just generally annoying.
Poison zombies and hunters. They are both so friggin hard to kill and mostly show up when i’m low on ammo.
Just wait for Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Poison Hunters.
[COLOR=‘Black’]Just kidding.
But hunters are easy* to kill if you know what you’re doing. If you hold a physics object with the gravity gun and allow the hunter to hit the object with a flechette, then you hit the hunter with the object with the embedded flechette, the hunter will vaporize. Also, two well placed shots (depending on difficulty) from a large physics object such as a log or a tractor tire will kill the hunter. Conventional weapons aren’t so good on them, though.
Also, you can kill hunters if you get up enough speed in your buggy and run them over.
- relatively speaking.
I loved hunters, unlike most people. They gave the sense of epicness in battles and made it more hectic and fun.
Anyone else reading this thread going “oh, yeah I know what he means… oh god, I hate those too!.. yeah, they really are so annoying… why DO I like Half-Life so much?!”
The Black Ops on Hard difficulty with their stealth, speed and high damage
Yes but we still do love Half-Life despite all the things we don’t like! The more you like something, the more you obsess about small details and how they should be different. That’s why couples fight so much! Uh… okay that’s not the same thing.
I love Half Life regardless, and hating these aliens just make me love it more. It makes me feel more like Gordon Freeman and really sympathize with the Rebels when they yell and scream when Antlions or zombies or whatever comes our way, because I’m doing the exact same thing! It really gives you a sense that the whole ‘aliens taking over’ thing really sucks. Hard.
ESPECIALLY THE FFGJBFO-HUNTERS1kjmkmdsfvpdskzc’kjb fnbmgf
The controllers aggravated the shit outta me!
