They didn’t include the question in the video so for all I know they asked him if he was going to stop eating Krispy Kremes.

I think it was a joke. Not a very clever one, but a joke nonetheless.

HOLY FUCK DUDE PUNCTUATION

Oh um, discussion, right…

Well they already shook up the “monster triforce” of Zombie/Antlion/Combine by making a Zombine, so maybe we’ll see some Antbines, or Zombants.

That’s retarded. You don’t make things interesting simply by adding more factions. And you definitely don’t do it just by slapping headcrabs on things.

Would like to see the return of cut Beta enemies. More Synths like the Combine Super Soldier.

You might only see Snow-Camo Striders,maybe a Half-Zombine

A half-zombine is just a headcrab or a combine soldier…

Maybe he meant a zombine cut in half, like you see with regular zombies?

Saying “Zombine-torsos” would have made that clearer.

Why? you barely know anything about them besides the way they look. And what we do know isn’t anything that spectacular.

Putting camo on something that tall would be rather pointless. Might as well make it sky-colored. Not to mention the fact that Valve clearly avoid putting real camo on anything. They made the soldiers in HL1 use white camo so they’d stand out in the desert & combine goggles glow in the dark. I honestly doubt they’d put snow camo on anything. I think they’d even go so far as to avoid using combine elite anywhere but indoors.

If they’re really going for a snowy environment for Ep. 3 then they better use the Uncharted 2 snow levels as the minimum standard they should shoot for.

Minimum what? And honestly, why should anyone, let alone Valve, shoot for a minimum standard?

They had forest camo on the soldiers in EP2.

There was going to be forest camo shotgun soldiers in older EP1 screenshots, but not in any retail game. In EP2, the shotgun soldiers use a gray & red texture.

What better to blend in with tree trunks?

Have you ever seen the snowy levels of Uncharted 2? The way they’ve done the precipitation effects along with the way your walking around affects the snow, it was done really well.

If Ep 3 is actually going for snowy environments, then Valve should, at least, make the snow effects as good as the Uncharted ones.

Here is a video showing what I’m talking about:

Minimum what was my question. Minimum weather effects? Minimum gameplay quality? Minimum length driving section? Minimum number of snowmen? All I ask is was that you be a tad more specific.

I don’t really think they blend in very well, but it’s a good point. Personally, I’ve wondered why they even bothered to create a texture for shotgun-wielding combine at all. I guess now I have even more of an incentive to send an email asking about it.

Dias, do you ever stop bitching?

You’re overthinking it, but for the sake of an answer, I mean the graphical effects of the snow. Of course I didn’t mean gameplay, since they’re two different games.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
