Zombies in HL1

Half-Life Series
#1

Please explain to me- why where there so little zombies in half life 1? In the entire game, there where less than 40. Before the resonance cascade happens, there where WAVES of scientists, everywhere. Black mesa team, please tell me there are a lot more zombies in black mesa. :frowning:

did this really deserve its own thread? :hmph:

:facepalm:

they all went into the vents. /sarcasm

#5

of all the creatures that got teleported into the facility headcrabs meybe made up 20 % of them? surely most of the scientists got killed by other creatures or falling debris.

Please use an existing thread in the half life section if your going to as questions about half life.

Funny, I remember there being a fuckton of zombies in HL1. Then again I played it before HL2, which was literally saturated with the things.

#7

Hereā€™s an idea: Ask the people that actually MADE the game, rather than a bunch of people that just played it and are just going to make wild guesses.

I have to agree with this, I understand that the further you go from ground zero the more the new enemies (marines, vortigaunts, agrunts) become the focus. But I hated it how there were hardly any zombies later in the game. There was still a shitload of headcrabs and quite a few scientists, so there should be at least some zombies in the later parts.

I think they stopped putting in zombies later in half life because they thought they were too easy for us. I always liked zombies though even though I got a little tired of them after a while in HL2.

#11

Nevermind that theyā€™re easy, they provide a break from the more difficult enemies, and theyā€™re just plain fun :stuck_out_tongue:

#12

I liked the zombies as well. I hope to see more of them in Black Mesa.

#13

Agreed. I really enjoyed the zombie sections. They were easy but it was a nice break away from the sometimes very difficult marines.

#14

Well if you want more zombies against which to fight you can multiply them from console :lol:

#15

Yeah, maybe they shouldnā€™t add any enemies or weapons to the game huh? Maybe BMS will be a sandbox game where we can spawn whatever we fancy with the damn console :meh:

#16

Isnā€™t the last zombie we see in Power Up?

#17

No , iirc thereā€™s a few in ā€œon a railā€ as well

#18

In HL, there wasnā€™t any zombies here. Guess what now ?

So imagine in the rest of the gameā€¦

reminds me of Ravenholm ā€¦

I bet black mesa will have a different number of zombies based on your game difficulty setting.
