As for barnacles, why are we even discussing them here? They’ve been on the ‘Thou shalt not discuss’ list for years, because they’re being used as is from HL2. If you want to keep on babbling about how you wish they could (but never will) be that’s what the day dream suggestion thread is for.
Hush you, JamesKane said it was this thread’s most practical idea in months.
[COLOR=‘Black’]Probably 'cause the original thread was canned without developer feedback.
If we weren’t discussing barnacles, people in here would be rattling on about agrunt armour.
I don’t think the agrunt should have armor at all. I think it should be plated instead of armored. 
Agrunts don’t have armor. They have amour
Ooh, I’d hate to be on the receiving end of an Agrunt’s amour… :aah:
from the looks of the Agrunt media, there’s not much to receive
As long at the Agrunt look like he eats marines for breakfast and players for lunch, like in HL1 of course, I’ll be happy.
Hey! could you guys put more snark attacks in?? Attacks that end up scaring the shit. like the time when the vent breaks open in surface tension
SSSSHHHHH! you’ll scare the shit. > 
EDIT: :ninja:
I was talking with some friends today, and we came up with a good idea for the blast pit fan sequence.
We think it would be a great idea for the camera to flip/spin as if Gordon were tumbling when you fly up to the wood on the ceiling. Not sure how this could be implemented in the source engine though…
Gordon doesn’t flip, he is like an unspillable mug.
I like that idea, and well it certainly is possible as proven by Portal’s camera adjustments. To give it some random sinusoidal oscillations would take away from the cheesiness of that moment.
Hey! Thanks for this… I didn’t know this thing before.
BTW: Nice voice acting, CatzEyes93. 
- Assassins
I think we should have a whole chapter dedicated to these girls and possibly to add the male ones from opposing forces. I can just imagine a chapter were the lights go out and all you here is foot steps running around and bullets flying while you have to rely on the trusty torch.
- Office complex
The elevator at the end of office complex does needed a change. My suggestion is when you begin to climb the original ladder you are on, it starts to break and when you climb to the top it collapses.
- Security guards/ scientists
I would love to see riot shield security guards, shotgun armed, magnum armed security guards. Un-vested and un-uniformed security guards and scientists that were see in blue shift.
- Uplink
Is it possible to add the uplink maps into the game. As the developers did intend to have it in, but had taken it out at the last minute.
- HECU
I would love to see these guys putting scientists against the wall and blasting them in there firing line.
Seeing these guys throwing dead alien bodies (Vortigaunts, zombines, alien grunts) into a fire and attempting to bury them.
Seeing artillery soften up an area before the marines move in.
Them using actual squad tactics.
Squad based tactics (eg 5 guys in a squad 1 shotgun, 4 mp5’s or m4s) then covering fire, grenades behind cover.
These guys welding open doors then storming and clearing. (like half life blue shift or at the opposite end on opposing forces)
Shooting into the vents when you are inside. (Remember “He’s in the vents get him”)
Them propelling from sky lights, vents etc.
Riot shield, RPG, sniper HECU troops and more sentry guns/trip mind
I would love these guys to be epic and seeing them kick some alien A$$.
And that’s my quick suggestions.
Not going to happen, since it was not in Half-Life.
The devs have surely come up with a great idea for the elevator.
I’m not sure about un-vested guards, but some of them will wield shotguns, MP5s and other weaponry.
It was suggested a thousand times and it was rejected a thousand times.
The HECU soldiers will definitely be smarter and more dangerous than they were in HL, so some of those suggestions may be realized.
Sorry for off topic, but i just love your sig.
I suggest a scene where a zombie tickles a supine and easily startled scientist to death.
There, it’s on topic for you.
I was wondering if the point of development has been reached where the suggestions thread for all but the most minute tidbits is outdated.
I guess basically what I’m saying in relation to the suggestion thread is: Is the mod at the point where if it 'aint in now, it 'aint gonna be?
Depends on the suggestion.
