The assassins

[Losmoges]

@Pyro

When? I said they destroyed the universe’s temporal integrity. THERE IS NO WHEN.
But in all seriousness, it was in the “Timeline” series of HL1 mods. You should try them.

Oh, and the simple AI wasn’t because the engine wouldn’t let them, it was because they didn’t have that kind of coding yet.

Hehe, ok, I should.

Coding, engine, all the same to me.

Cool pciture of a assassin!

[Conti]

This is a Combine Assassin, not a Black Ops Assassin.

[Android11x]

I’m glad they cut it. Its body is all out of proportion.

[Pyroclase]

That may just be because some of it is untextured, and you’re used to the head being on the much bulkier Overwatch Elite.

EDIT: no, you’re right. Those arms are TINY. I should have said it’s because it was obviously unfinished.

If you installed that idiotic High-Definition Pack for HL1, the assassins would go invisible most of the time. Like semi-transparent for some reason. That would make them completely impossible to kill. They were hard enough to get even without that!

Oh by the way, are the assassins human? Because when you’re in a map where you have loads of them, you can occasionally hear that teleportation sound, just like when a vortiguant teleports in. So I was thinking that if the assassins really teleport in, then they must be with the aliens. However, in Opposing Force, they’re with the black-ops. Which is kind of strange. Any thoughts?

Can’t believe no-one pointed out yet that the cloaking behaviour had nothing to do with the high-def pack, but the difficulty level. Play on Hard and they cloak whenever they’re not shooting you. Play on any other difficulty level and they don’t.

Well, I just got here and was about to point that out dammit! :meh:

Oh no, what are you gonna do now UrBY? Will you be alright?

Don’t worry, you don’t need to believe what isn’t true.

@Grey Acumen

guh…:facepalm:

They already do that, except they’re just simply visible when moving and not visible when not moving. That’s only on hard difficulty though. They’re visible all the time on easy and normal difficulty.

Now what would be nice is if they were visible when movine, invisible when not moving, but only transparent while firing.

Um… who’s ballsack is under threat of being eaten here anyway? Y’know what, I think I’m gonna go buy an athletic cup anyway, just to be on the safe side.

Amazing, a lot of English people can’t tell when to use advise or advice, but even Fong knows!

Back on topic, I think we should change the assassins to this:

Just to liven things up a bit

[Ballsopt]
