The headcrab zombies

I’m timing them against HL2 ep. 3. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we get BM before Portal 2.

#42

I’d be amazed if we get it before Portal 8!

#43

And the mass-murderer Raminator kills another thread.

#44

So you’d be amazed if it even came out? :retard:

#45

I wouldn’t say a mass murderer as such. More like a professional hitman who targets the pointless and stupid threads.

#46

In essence, yes! :frowning:

That’s all of them :fffuuu:

#47

Apostrophes do not work that way.

Here it is, the new HECU zombie

HOT PISS! NEW MEDIAZ!

das good photoshop!

#51

It wont be long before we see people mistaking that for real HECU zombie.

#52

HECU zombies never made much sense to me. I feel that headcrab assimilation would only be successful on lone and/or unarmed individuals. How is a headcrab going to successfully attach itself AND have time to assimilate one marine from a group? I highly doubt a marine’s squad mates will complacently let that happen. Even a large group of headcrabs would have a hard time against an armed HECU squad.

I highly doubt that HECU soldiers participated in solo missions while in BM so consequently their assimilation risk, IMO, is low.

Black Mesa is a big place and the initial drop went to Hell. I imagine a few grunts would have been separated from their squads, especially during the retreat.

#54

plus headcrabs could stumble onto a group of dead marines

and they all go their separate paths

#55

Don’t believe it, marines aren’t that incompetent that they would get separated and wander the facility alone. Of course there would be the occasional instance of lone HECU survivors, but not enough to warrant a HECU zombie model. I believe the scientist and security guard zombies suffice.

Headcrabs can assimiliate dead creatures? I did not know that, I thought they had to be living during attachment.

In the end however, I don’t really care. I just want BM to be released already. lol

#56

I don’t understand how people still get headcrabbed after dealing with them, especially in the HL2 series. Just wear a big hat or something. Put a pot on your head. Wear a helmet. It’s not that hard, mang. :hmph:

D-Day, June 6th, 1944: Airborne drops failed to reach their LZ. Soldiers scattered all over the place. Picked off by German patrols.

Black Mesa Cleanup: Osprey’s failed to reach their LZ. Soldiers scattered all over the place…

See where I’m going with this? :slight_smile:

End of the day, the HECU zombies would make sense, but would not appear as frequently as the other variations.

#58

Headcrabs often go after people who have been critically injured, possibly left behind due to heavy fire, and possibly someone who only just barely survived after a brutal attack that killed nearly everyone else. If you have multiple headcrabs then they could take multiple HECU at once simply by overwhelming numbers.

And HECU aren’t Marines, so what goes for one might not go for the other.

#59

Well, those marines are not even able to kill a lone scientist armed with a crowbar.

#60

Hey, hey! One TOUGH scientist with a crowbar.
Mind your language.
