Its in fact file of Mechagodzilla.... lets search in forums....

The fact file is not all "fact" though...it contains creature speculation and the plot summary has Adrian's name spelled wrong the entire time.

female combine assassin!!!! We need something we WILL fear! We need that kind of challenge! Give her one very hard-hitting long range gun to make us run like hell for cover, give her lots of nades, give her superhuman agility and speed, give her the capacity to sneak up to us silently and that classic silenced automatic-firing pistol!

"converted" Combine soldiers, that, for some reason or another, joined the rebels so they can survive too?

combine zombie (is it possible anyway?)

Encounter against a tank (and the combine dropships), when we are on foot and we have/can to blow them up. A bit like HL1. It seriously lacked that in HL2 (but there was enough striders and gunships) since we were always equiped with what we needed to blow up the few tanks we saw in water canal. I would have liked so much to have to deal with a manned combine tank when i was on foot. There was also that time.. on the beach, when we got the dunebuggy we meet some combines on foot fighting antlions... and they didnt used their intact tank that was just right next to them!!

Combine snipers that we can see, and they can move. Not just that boring shoot-a-explosive-in-the-black-window-and-they-dont-run-away snipers.

Combines that dont charge to their doom, but have some sense of self-preservation and understand the simple rule that " when you are dead, you are useless, stay alive and kill THEM!"

Yeah it is.

And just as I thought we'd FINALLY seen the last of this thread, it gets bumped.

 

[RecklessSneak]

I would like some shooting out of the backs of vechiles controlled by computer. Like being chassed by a strider through city 17.
More fashionable head crab zombies with a range of outfits and accessories.

I really like the zoo idea, specifically the elephant. You've fought all these zombified animals, it's totally dark except for the moonlight, and there's fog everywhere. Suddenly, out of the darkness comes this horrifying monstrosity- an elephant, red-eyed, caked in mud, blood and god knows what else, absolutely covered in headcrabs. I get the chills thinking about it.


Also, I think that friendly fire should be on, but it should impact the PLOT, rather than the game right now. For instance, as you kill more and more allies, your followers gradually lose respect for you, and start doubting your abilities and skills. Eventually, if you really **** up, they'll overthrow you, instate a new leader, and declare you an enemy. Now you have to fight against EVERYONE!

or something along the lines of that.

That just wouldn't work. I definatley prefer it with freindly fire off.

 

[JNightshade]

When I posted that, I ended up getting too sucked into the friendly fire idea, and overdid it. Originally, my idea was much more subtle. It was just that as you'd accidentally kill more of your fellow fighters, they'd act more rebellious and suspicious (whispering bad things about you when they think they're alone, maybe hesitating to follow your orders occasionally, etc). I dunno, I just think it would flesh out the characters, make them seem more realistic.

Sort out the "let me get out of your way" problems first, then think about adding systems where citizens who get in your way start hating you. Resistence Fighters were enough a liability without them being susceptable to your weapons fire.

 

[JNightshade]

I just kinda figured that went without saying

289) yet even faster load times
290) NO MORE Sound Studdering
291) faster loading times even more
292) fix that stupid SOUND STUDDERING
293) make it so you dont have to wait 5 minutes in between levels
294) something involving garry's mod (which I can't even get to work)
295) put the whole thing in thai so we can laugh at the fact we dont know what their saying
296) put in TNT as a "grenade"
297) Let us blow up things inside a Wal-Mart(R)
298) Fast loading times
299) be able to drive a bus
300) Throw Up

*EDIT* If I violated any copyright laws by stating Wal-Mart(R) that please just ignore it

**EDIT** 301) Fix it so we can't bake a pizza in between levels.
302) Give us a snowspeeder off of star wars so we can "tie" up the striders legs.

303) One of those freak'n leet laser-scoped sniper rifles that the combine are always popping your ass
304) This bad ass gun I saw this thing in the pre-release photos and it was soooo pwn. I waited the whole game to start owning it up with that thing and i never got it! man i was pissed. and valve even uses the top half of that photo on half-life2.com! WTF! there is another picture of it in the infamous hydra screen shot: here
306) More alien buildings (the citadel was pwn).
307) A larger assortment of misc objects (i got sick of seeing the same barrels over and over again, and heaps of trash got redundant)
308) More sick music (listening to it right now)

I would also like to point out that no matter how much we want to understand and experiance every aspect of the half-life universe, the reason the game was so cool was the sparsity of its surreal elements. Lets hope valve can pull it off again.

oye! my bad, stupid assholes didn't like direct linking, here it is again:
{SNIP}

In fact check out all the pics here, they have a bunch of goods shots of some of the SWEET levels that they cut... darn valve
{URL REMOVED}

oh yea and to please all you creeps:
{URL REMOVED}

but really ya gotta love gary's mod for shit like that^^


*edit*
oh wait i had a bunch of other stuff to rant about now that i read all the previeous posts

I think the headcrab-ravenholm-scary-level-ish-thing is THE COOLEST IDEA EVER.

309) I looooved the gunships and all the other insect/vehicle things that the combine have. The bump mapping+lighting makes me want to reach out and touch it, i wanna see more stuff like that. plus they have really cool explosions (or at least the gunships do).

and several people have said that they would like to have a better way to kill the stalkers-walkers. i have one word to say to you:
310)EWOKS

 

[Asknoone]

They scrapped the OICW because it was scrapped in real-life

And those levels you just showed are all in the game, just tweaked...and one other thing, don't talk about the leak :O

You will be banned if you post leak related material again.

 

[PhantomReality]

wtf? what the hell man why? the game is already out and valve doesn't give a crap anymore... what gives?

and if your gunna do that you should at least have the forum rules posted somwhere

It is still illegal to own it.

Forum rules

Valve does give a crap, also

 

[PhantomReality]

wow thats some seriously lame shit dude + im pretty sure that wasn't leaked stuff it was stuff that valve released. anyways it all adds up to hl2.net being errrrr... *insert expletive here*

The people here are cool but i gotta say i would suggest that the admin seriously reconsider the so called "rules"

and why are the "I want alyx pr0n" posts tolerated but you killed the extremely funny gary's mod pic?! which is a work of art by the way, your repressing free speech

HELP ITS THE THOUGHT POLICE


...however! let it be noted that i have the utmost respect for Valve and only because of that will I follow these rules.

HELP ITS THE THOUGHT POLICE

1) The material you posted is leaked, copyrighted stuff. It is illegal to host it, and we WILL NOT ever change that rule. NO LEAK MATERIAL. NO ILLEGAL MATERIAL.

2) The - "I want alyx pr0n" posts are NOT tolerated, they are deleted/closed/warned. Garry's mod porn is also banned here, if you had taken the time to read the multiple threads on the matter. Those are ALSO the rules.

3) I don't give a a damn about your "work of art" "free speech" argument because this is a private server and those rules dont mean a thing to me. You have absolutely no legal ground to request anything of this site in the way of policy change, so don't waste your time asking for such.

I hope that was clear enough

 

[PhantomReality]

whoa that was fast...

I meant no disrespect, I was simply stating that I find boards with more lax rules to be a more enjoyable place to converse, and I apologise if I offended any admin.

I guess I'll have to post the VG cats dirty headhumper comic somewhere else then... darn...

 

[Asknoone]

Yeah, but you'll find these boards aren't filled with swearing, illegal and stuffand whatever else other sites contain....good forums here, all you need to do is behave. :cheers:

 

[PhantomReality]

Understood, I once belonged to a group of forums about the Matrix, we talked about the matrix philosophy and everyone was so kind to each other, it was awesome. Clearly i have found another one of my intrests has a similar such fan base! sweet!

anyways i thought of another thing that could go in aftermath:

311) A helicopter!!! omg the gunship was sooo cool. And i mean it wouldn't really be that big of a change to the engine, just strafe left right as normal +crtlr and spacebar for verticle movement. that'd be sweet

They might just have the helicopter in it. Do you mean one that we could fly and shoot and everything?

Are you a Protest Warrior Imperialist Campaign (PWIC) member?

because you talk exactly like one.

 

[PhantomReality]

No I am not a member, sorry. I'm just a guy with superior intellect I have two ways of talking: Normal and gamer.

If I talk normal in a game (or on a gaming forum) and say, use words more that two syllables, people don't understand me. I was under said impression when I joined this site and thus was using "gamer speak" (along with "1337 sp34k" it is one of the many dialects of geek).

However this is obviously not that average gaming site, therefore I'll talk with my three syllable words and those who can't understand be damned! :E

...and yes, I did mean a helicopter for use by Gordon.

312) More use of mist. I think my favorite part of the game was during highway 17 when you used the crain. If you turn around and look at the bridge while your standing in the sand, the mist looks soooooo cool. Aftermath needs more visuals like that.

 

[AIDisabled]

Well, people here know the meaning of inter-dimensional travel and actual theoretical methods by which a theoretical teleporter might be created.

We're gamers, but we're not idiots.

313. More Dog! Better: control over him.

I'd agree with that, but wouldn't it be cooler to have him scripted?

 

[AIDisabled]

Like he already is?

What I meant by "control" is a bit like controlling the bugs. I don't mean you'd control him the way you control Gordon Freeman.

 

[cpsethgt]

I didn't read through every post, so some of these might have already been said.

314. Better water effects. Sure, it looked great from a static point of view, but the splashes need improvement. I just remember throwing cars off the cliff and into the water in Highway 17, and they would just make two or three circular ripples and fall straight through, without any realistic water impact or splashes.

315. More realistic water bump-mapping patterns. There were many cases in which the patterns of a water body didn't behave the way it should - mainly the ocean in Highway 17 (again), which had fast moving, flat circular ripples instead of waves and linear ripples.

316. Headcrab zombies with some variation. Apparently every single person in Ravenholm wore a white shirt with bluejeans.

317. Use of some scripted death animations, rather than ragdoll physics every time. Sometimes the way in which an enemy would simply become completely motionless and just drop to the floor was unrealistic.

318. More variation in the facial models and voices of citizens.

 

[Asknoone]

What I meant by "control" is a bit like controlling the bugs. I don't mean you'd control him the way you control Gordon Freeman.

I know what you meant, however I think it would limit his actions severely if he were to be controlled by Gordon, best having him scripted if you ask me

 

[Bloodlustian]

319. A better explanation of G-Man
320. G-Woman, Alyx perhaps?

 

[Oyaji291]

No G-Woman please...

Oh! oh! I've got it! How about they have Yoda come in and swing his light saber at Darth Breen and be "Strong, the dark side is. Best you, I will." and then make breen careen(LOL RHYME)ing off of the citadel at 1500002145235105016203673243q6234&^#$ MPH!!! :-D

Okay, sorry, I had to get the sarcasm out or I was gonna go insane.

How about having both, then?

Specific parts where you only guide him along to certain positions and then he does a scripted sequence according to the situation. Kind of the way you could order Barney or a scientist in Half Life 1 to follow you, only with a few more actions instead of just wait/follow.

That could work. Intergrate several scripted sequences and then have segments where your sending him here and there. He'd need pretty good AI, picking up cars and all but overall it could work very well.

321. More unique characters
