Gman: “I like your style, you’ve got balls!”
According to the Opposing Force ending, it reminds him of himself.
So will barnacles get to be beta-scary on hard? :awesome:
[COLOR=‘DarkSlateGray’](The idea was brought up once before, with poster support 28-to-1, but it was scuttled by a forum moderator because the FAQ said barnacles were being taken from HL2.)[/size]
Actually, don’t answer that question. I want to be strangled by surprise.
It’s not that much of a stretch to have them like that. They did something similar in Episode 1.
They did that a lot, actually. It was in EP2 as well.
But weren’t they only set up like that specifically to grab something other than the player. (like the gear in the mine)
Finally, something we can agree on! 
you want to be strangled?
Sounds erotic.
The amount of unbridled rage I felt towards that barnacle was completely out of proportion to the inconvienience it caused.
I made him pay for it…with his LIFE!
:meh: you know what I meant.
I think it was just the positioning of that one that made it hard for it to grab the player. But yeah, the ones I’m thinking of suddenly dropped their tongues right in front of you as you were walking along a pipe, so unless you were being careful you’d walk right into them, which is still sneaky but not quite as cheap as in the beta video.
Yeah, they were scripted to make them SEEM menacing, but they never use that talent to actually catch the player off-guard.
It’s clear they were supposed to, and they almost do (in Office Complex when they drop down when you’re near the ceiling tiles), but with a remake like this of a game we’ve all beaten a dozen times, people playing on Hard deserve that extra challenge of checking the ceiling EVERYWHERE they go, since we’re so used to avoiding the tongues.
And if I remember correctly, which I do, you were exactly the 1-against-28 when the idea was first brought up 
Thanks for easing up on your opposition… it is a little variable I truly and wholly think would benefit the game mode in a lot of ways, more worth programming than something like the Hard-Assassin’s render mode. When something comes underneath, have it descend about twice as fast as gravity. If it doesn’t catch anything, casually reel it back up. A tiny delay with some played animation [COLOR=‘Gray’](there are some good ones already, it doesn’t need to be new), to make it seem like it’s lunging, would be a cherry on top. And if the lunge-delay is implemented, the downward velocity can get a head-start faster than starting at rest.
aye aye, charlie manson sir
That sounds like the best barnacle-abduction in any Half-Life ever. Make it so!!!
I call plagiarism!
It’s like Archer, but with words.
You’re weird
