No. Antlions are 10 times better than Houndeyes.
But how can you not like Houndeyes? Antlions were just…annoying. I wish they didn’t cut the Houndeyes out, or at least bring them back in the future
Of course I like Houndeyes. But Antlions are just so much better IMO. Of course, it might be my facination with bugs that live in colonies.
That is fun (especially in Scientist Slaughterhoouse). But the cockroaches are just too much fun to squish (along with the leeches).
I loved all the original HL1 creatures, Houndeyes were really fun to kill, they’re cute and they make cool noises 
I also liked the tentacle from Blast Pit, I think it was a great design and idea, that it can’t see, only hear you.
From the HL2 series, I liked the Zombines a lot, though they pissed me off when you had more of them at the same time. I hated having 20 zombies attacking me at the same time!
All this talk of houndeyes reminds me of a modification I made to the houndeye model:* Gives a burst when it jumps back (flinch/interrupted-attack)
- Gives a burst when its dead body hits the floor
- Gives four overlapping bursts in the normal attack
Encountering them is almost a guarantee of losing some health. If you don’t have any armour charged, their full (quad)attack can take up to 50hp per blast.
They became truly frightening. I stopped shy of making their bursts happen with every running step, for fear of overdoing it.
Why don’t you just let them run super fast too while you’re at it
no that’s the bullsquid’s forté
Ok what if you make them super huge
No wait replace whatever you’re playing with a giant pit full of superhoundeyes
Well, Tiki. What interesting midfications to the Bullsquid have you made?
Loved the Nihilanth, it totally freaked me out first time I saw it!
Ichthyosaurs were just plain scary. It’s a shame they aren’t really in hl2 (I was terrified in water hazard, cause I thought there would be several in some of the lakes, but was disappointed when I found out there weren’t any other than in the teleport part)
And I hated the bullsquids - especially on hard when they seem to take an entire mag from my rifle before they die
Definately Hunters … but I like Striders as well … oh and vortigaunts
Edit: yup bullsquids are freaking hard on hard mode … I hate when they charge and bite me …
Runs, flinches, and turns twice as fast… spits four times faster (rapid-fire)… attacks (bite/whip) very quickly… and sends the player flying through the air so he takes at least 30 fall-damage if the ceiling allows it.
:awesome:
God with what would you have to kill them RPG? :fffuuu:
The shotgun I think. And if not the first bullsquid you encounter is really far away. The only thing you’ll have to worry about is wether Tiki made the poison goo balls twice as fast or not. If not, you can just evade the spit and shoot him with the glock. If yes, you can do the same.
EDIT: It’s not like they where particulairly hard anyway, or any aliens for that matter. Valve made to much emphasize on the soldiers, and Tiki fixed that.
Use the shotgun on a super-bullsquid???!!! The GLOCK!!!??? :lol::aah::rabies::lol::aah: laughs insanely
Double blast for most encounters and glock on all stationary bullsquids that just spit at you. Magnum is needed for soldiers, and bullsquids have no boosted health it seems, so you can safely use the glock on far away bullsquids. Unless you have the crossbow.
On a regular bullsquid a regular boomstick is what I say …
I cannot understand the love for headcrabs, they are annoying as hell.
As for favourite…
Half life 1, in terms of challenging fav, the black assassins. In terms of cool Houndeye 
Half life 2, terms of challenging fav, Fast zombie. In terms of cool… striders or hunters
