I always thought the idea of either an aqua barnacle or a ground barnacle, whose tongue was more of an extended fan that would gently waft through the air or water, and snatch either fish or xenian birds from the air.
Also it would be fucking sweet if xen had a complex ecosystem with thousands of different creatures, species, and tons of new friendlies and baddies. (I’ve drawn a couple hundred alien animal concepts already XD )
Yeah, I’d like to see a variety of friendly Xenians, maybe some small ones so it really looks like a lively nature with harmless but also dangerous creatures.
The only daydream i have is that the HECU have their original insignia restored.
A scripted scene with a HECU grunt, who either refused to follow the order to kill all the Black Mesa employees, or has been left behind after “Forget about Freeman!”
He could be found near the Lamda Complex, and not shoot Freeman, instead telling him that he’s been left behind, and all his buddies have been killed by those “things”.
Why would he tell Freeman that?
A simple “DON’T SHOOT I’M NOT WITH THOSE BASTARDS” would suffice.
Though, it would still be cheesey as hell…
Unless you could get him to follow you and he would be the most powerful armed partner in the game… assuming Barneys are as useless in BM as they are in HL1.
He’d still be dead the moment he appeared in the player’s view. It would probably be weeks before somebody accidentally discovered such a friendly HECU.
I wish I could see a download button.
/serious I’d like to see Dr. Breen somewhere during the chapter Inbound.
What if he immediately dropped his gun and put his hands up? Then again, that would require a script, animations, etc. for very little benefit. I’d do it anyway if I was on the team, because I always like a little moral ambiguity in the stuff I work on.
yeah great idea, let’s add a single friendly npc that looks exactly like the npcs that are enemies throughout the entire game, that doesn’t sound annoying or confusing and utterly redundant at all
What if instead, he was unarmed (or out of ammo) and instead cowered yelling “No! Please don’t shoot! I’m unarmed!”
I like this idea, he could be in a locked room with bulletproof glass or something, and he would talk to Freeman through that glass that he’s on Freeman’s side and stuff and he would unlock the door for him. They could even find a security guard on the way who would question why freeman is walking around with one of the soldiers.
Because then there could be a payoff of actually pressing E on him.
Like I said, he could be like a sentient BFG that follows you around until he gets killed.
so how would you explain security guards and scientists not freaking the fuck out when they see you run around with a soldier?
I am sorry, I am sure that a lot of people will think that I am cracy (I don´t know why, because I am sure that if they could think about my petition, they could understand that I am right), but I would like that Isaac Kleiner won´t appear in Black mesa source to be (this MOD) perfect. I think that someone like Kleiner couldn,t survivie from control room of Sector C. I usually think that he was very close to the surface maybe with Magnusson to be possible escape from Black Mesa before the army´s arrive. Basically because every time that we left him alone during Half-life 2 he needs help from Alyx. In addition, he don´t know how take a shotgun. So, for this reasons and more I can´t imagine him shoting, running, swimming and hiding, and I think that all this is specially impossible but necesaty if he will appear hurt and he will start scape from Sector C respectively… I think that this petition can make more better the MOD, more realistic. It´s my opinion.
Mr. Laidlaw, the author of the Half-Life story stated that he was in the sector C labs with Eli Vance.
So… that’ll be a no.
Truly? In that case, can you send me a link where see the Laidlaw information about Kleiner? I know who is Eli Vance in Sector C but I don´t know who is Kleiner, and I would like see him. I thought that Valve didn´t say anything about Kleiners position thats all. In any case thanks for the info. XD
PD : Sorry for my english. XD
PDII : However, front of this new information (new to me), I Hope that Kleiner will not appear hurt in any case. I think that he can appear close to Eli without any kind of injury. And, finally, all them close to the hurt man after the incident. And , for example, make that Kleiner appear, before the incident, keeping an eye on the Magnusson,s lunch XD. I´m still thinking that is ridiculous a hurt Kleiner. I am saying all this to make the MOD much better, thats all, (under my point of view of course). Thanks again for the info.
It wasn’t supposed to be a great idea, seeing as this is a thread for ideas that wouldn’t make it in. I don’t see any problems with them making an animation for it, though. There were plenty of scripted equences in Half-Life that had no benefit to the player, and when the animations were only used once.
Hats.
Hats and Xen cock gibs.
