The vortigaunts

Half-Life Series
#1

They are the second to last encountered of the four fractions in Half Life 2 (the others are Combine, human restistance and G-Man). They have access to considerable powerful fighting abilities and haven shown skills like teleporting (HL2:Ep1 Intro), powering devices, casting powerful bolts (one being strong enough to destroy Antlions, Zombies, Headcrabs…), freeing Gordon from G-Man’s control, keeping near-deaths alive and reviving them.

So why don’t we see more of them? Where have they been when we were batteling the Combine in City 17? Where have they been when we were defending White Forest? Hunting Advisors?

Why don’t they tell us something about the G-Man? They “worship” Gordon Freeman, but they don’t tell him anything about the nature of the one they freed him from. Maybe it is their nature to keep things ambigous.

What do you think are there interests? Do they want to live on earth after the war or would they return to Xen?

#2

Maybe their desires are not on Earth. They could be just using Gordon Freeman.

#3

The vortigaunts are gay. They were cannon-fodder infantry in HL1 that the HECU easily mowed down, and now they are supposed to be one man armies that can destroy hordes of zombies and squads of Combine all by themselves.

#4

Maybe their nature is a bunch of 0’s and 1’s in the form of ai and scripts.

Maybe it’s just a video game and that is the way Valve made them. Their interests and where they live are how Valve made them. Valve is God, and until God makes one, there is no answer.

#5

In hl2 they were fighting for freedom, but in hl1 they were slaves. They have better motivation in the combine war

#6

Doesn’t mean a damn about their fighting ability.

#7

Yes it does

#8

No… It doesn’t.

BMRF Security and co. were fighting for survival, and, in an extension of that , freedom, but they still sucked.

#9

They didnt have the ability to throw lightnings out of their hands

#10

I literally laughed out loud at that. Mainly because of Freeman’s Mind, lol.

#11

I dont remember that in freeman’s mind

#12

Yes, they are!
And I fall into a rage when I see this:

#13

Aww, how cute !!!:3:3:3

#14

I think the vorts on earth are the remants of the intial invasion subsuquently taken into slaverly (halflife 2 intro) and then freed by the resistance.

That or the combine like to keep them in small numbers across there colonies. Divide and conquer and all that.

they must be in small numbers on earth as the distraction of only three vorts is enough to allow the g man to brake threw for a while.

has anyone counted how many are holding gman at the start of Ep 1? that might be your answer.

#15

For me, Vorts are just enemies… no friends… thats y I hate the beginning of EP2…

But only a few months till BlackMesa… then I can kill them in Source engine…
And I hope they will look like the Ep2 ones… they are freakin’ annoying and look like babies…

Much better to get more fury!

But now I have to kill the unimportant HL2 ones in SMOD Tactical

#16

er… ok, that sound a healthy way to spend your time.:fffuuu:

#17

He’s just butthurt because things change over time. See my avatar.

#18

I liked you better when you were a blue penis :-p

#19

Everybody loves the blue penis.

#20

No, i don’t, for the guy want to kill vort, go play a mod name “1187” it for hl2 ep2.
