This was made by VALVe and was a final version of the zombie, but unfortunately, it was cut. I was wondering if it could be included in Black Mesa with a console command to toggle, like with the MP5.

I doubt that this is gonna happen.

i think the Any of the BM zombie models will be ace.

isn’t that a security guard zombie? they’sre already in BM.

It’s funny to see that at this stage of prod we could see the skull of the man under the headcrab.

I’ll stick with Blackout and Ram : it’s an early stage zombarney.

And how is that different from the final version?

Funny, to me that looks like garbage compared to the final model that did feature. Have you seen BM’s zombies?

Also, I want a console command that toggles the cockroaches between making a “squish” sound and a very distinct “pop” sound when you step on them. No really, it’s for immersion!

You’re right, not that much difference with the final one, just less visible. But with HL2 zombies, it’s another story.

I never noticed that.

Poor headcrabs feeling the crush of the skulls there.

I always saw the teeth, I never noticed you could see the eye sockets, though.

The skull in the headcrab is a lot fainter in the retail HL then in that pre-release screenshot. (and I’m glad it’s not in HL2, or BM)

Looks more like the zombie from Poke646.

It’s bloody creepy is what it is.

If by creepy you mean cheesy, then yes, it is.

It’s blue.

And you know what? I like to think that a headcrab’s flesh is nice and stretchy and that’s why the skull poked out.

It’s got to fit over heads and fuck them, it’s got to have pliable skin.

Or they were originally meant to be on other things heads.
And tried to fit on Human’s heads.
And somehow very quickly for HL2. They’d evolved for that. :freeman:

How about Valve decided to redesign them for the new millennium and didn’t back it up with re-fucking-tarded biological explanations that nobody would care about.

which is what first aroused my suspicions that it was a zombarney (hope you don’t mind if I pike that one Mont_Blanc) as well as various other points.

What kind of suit is it wearing?I mean it’s not a security vest or suit , neither is a scientist uniform…It’s like a blue, plastic garbage bag!
