Maybe because you played the 3rd one? The first one was actually pretty good. Wasn’t perfect, but it was fun.
Still, the flood are stupid. The little ones would have been cooler if they didn’t pop against your shield, and their shape almost looked like they ingested the head of someone wearing a christmas hat.
i just cant understand. i’m encased in a suit of, what should be the most advanced technology in the universe. but a poor take on a face huger can kill me.
unless it has acid that it can inject out of its ink pouch i still find it stupid - and a clear rip off of a face huger. They maize well have just called the flood altered xenomorph’s.
not to mention actually how annoying the theme music was for them, i really enjoyed halo’s OST but when i heard that music i wanted to turn off the game.
Well, they are flesh bags the size of turkeys detonating right on you… If bullets hurt, that can’t be far off. The book’s reasoning for them popping is fucking stupid though. Supposedly he pumps the shields full of energy for a split second which drains them a bit, and incinerates the spores. Why would he do that if they’d just bounce off if he left the shields be?.. idk. I’d have to read The Flood again, and I don’t want to. I’d call em more of a ripoff of The Thing than a facehugger too. Plus are you really complaining about facehugger ripoffs in a Half Life forum?
But yeah, the flood levels were torture when you’re armed wrong. Shotty and plasma pistol is what’s gotta be used. Explosives are way too dangerous, and any other weapon is under powered.

Halo 3 was the worst one, man :s . It was like Crysis 2 to crysis… Or Deus Ex invisible war to Deus Ex.
Yeah I was about to say that. Headcrabs are pretty much facehugger ripoffs too. Though I suppose HL takes the cake for ripping off aliens before halo (actually a lot of the military stuff in Halo is pretty much straight from Aliens too, like sgt. Johnson)
Headcrabs do look cooler though. Seriously -
I think you meant something different than the Santa hat.
Though it’s not much different, I like the Halo 3 design more. Either way, discussing who ripped off who first is fucking stupid. Seriously, everyone should know that Aliens is a straight up tear from the Starship Troopers novel series anyway. And it goes back further from there too. Why give a fuck?
Well i was talking more about the actual “aliens” themselves, I just threw the military stuff in there because it is blatantly obvious, but i think that particular aspect is more homage then ripoff since Johnson is pretty much Apone almost down to a T.
Which is why he’s the best character in the series.
At least IMO.
*just…wow
What’s half life?
half dead?
Half 4 Dead Fortress Strike
Left 4 Team-Portal 2: Episode 3
Anyone else pissed that halo 3 never ported to PC? I’m thinking logical progression here (Halo 1, 2 both ported, 2 being the redheaded stepchild) and Microsoft’s bloodlust for global income at an unlimited rate. But no. And since I refuse to buy a console to play what would look, load, play, and mod better on PC, I guess I’m stuck.
While discussing mashups of games that don’t exist, may I suggest the 1.6 version of a mod called “Missing Information”, a tidy 500 meg addon to your current steam install that adds a bunch of weapons, and delineates the current HL2 storyline from what we all accept as it’s reality. It features entire levels and demos only shown at E3. It’s a ‘5K fun-run’, and weapon/enemy balancing needs some work, but it sure is fun blasting zombies and combine with a feckin’ OICW. Or a GODDAMNED SNIPER RIFLE.
I did a playthrough on Doom 3 last week though, it’s better than I remember. If you can bite back your laughter at NPC’s angular, polygonal skulls you’ll be just fine. Also, Flood=Trite’s! The crawling-on-the-floor-en-masse enemies so generic and overused that they’re called…“Trite’s”! Yee-haw!
In no way, shape, form, or logical stretch of the human imagination did that relate to my post.
Kinda…sorta…you should allow it.
It will Pass, for now.
I want Halo and battlefield combined. Seriously. BF’s player count and map size. Halo’s health, weapon (weapon style, because it’s current set isn’t enough for that scale), and Halo’s vehicles… and first person driving. In a ghost. Fucking hell <3
Add in Need For Speed -esque vehicles with Split Second styled destructable scenery and I’m in.
Plus C4
And hats
