Office Complex, the part where you eventually get the .357. The security member is talking about a headcrab being on his friend’s head and the zombie is coming, while the player may still think something could be done about that, then the zombie grabs the guard by neck. The problem is that you are able to kill the zombie before the animation starts, but when it’s actually strangling the guard, it is invulnerable. (I tried a full pistol cartridge and a gluon gun to be sure.)

This appears to be intentional. The zombie can be killed after the event. I was kinda disappointed about this as well, since in the original HL you can kill the zombie and have the guard open the door so you can get to some goodies.

#3

You can still kill the zombie before it gets too close. You just need to be swift.

#4

uh nooooo, just kill the zombie before he gets to close the guard?:tired:

#5

I pumped that guy full of bullets from the moment he walked through the doorway, but he wouldn’t die until after he’d already strangled the guard. Could be a bug?

#6

Ah, I just tried this, and it works. The guard opens the door for you. In the original, you could kill the zombie even as he was attacking the guard. This is probably a bug then.
