Now, this is getting on my nerves! How the crap do I extract the "bug-bait"
from the hardcore antlion guard. The vortigaunt said not to kill him though....tips anyone?????? :afro:
 
.... BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just made my day.
 
You have to pick up the grubs from the caves with the grav gun and try and hit him with them. I think only the live grubs work, the ones that still have the green ball in them.
 
Sprint full speed at the charging antlion guard to knock it loose. Before the creature figures out what happens, pick up the bug bait and sick all the antlions on him!

You gotta hit him just right, so dont be surprised if it doesnt work the first few times and you die. This is a known bug.

Don't be a bitch. You can't do that until you've stunned him with the grubs! Don't fall for his trick.

Yeah, I had heaps of trouble the first few times - he kept getting up just as I rammed him, and then he'd knock me back. One time the bastard even knocked me back into a hole.

First tip: Do not kill him.
Second tip: Since you should not kill him, and he is unlikely to surrender the "Bug Bait" to you willingly; Run.

Note: You're not actually looking to extract anything at all from the antlion guard.

And you two: Being assholes to new-comers is the privilege of seasoned members, not other new-comers. Fairly warned be ye, says I.
 
I would just like to let everyone know, that I'm a girl. And I like flowers in my hair, and I wanna kiss all the boys.
 
Dont kill him, but that shouldnt stop you from tossing rocks at it just for fun.
 
Eh? You can't extract anything from the Antlion Guard, you have to avoid it and get to the hives comb stuff the Antlion is protecting, then the Vort' extracts out what you need for Alyx.

So you're telling me that I (and other "seasoned" members) can play this guy along just like the others did?
Great!

Exactly.

Look, we have a complete list of who's allowed to be an arse and who's not. And we will reveal it to you as soon as we feel like it.

I rofl'd.


The entire thing with the Antlion Guard royally pissed me off.
 
Thanks.

Thanks everyone for helping me out. It was just a little confusing, that is all. I've actually been playing the Half Life series since HL1. Sometimes you just get stuck...but thanks!:naughty:

HAHAHA n1 AJ!! *ahem* Urmm... if you don't mind me asking.. can I have a kiss? :cheese: P-LEEEAAASE!
 
Do I count as a seasoned member?
I have 2000 posts now!
:D!
Oh yeah, that part kind of pissed me off. I swear I had a seizure while having an adrenaline rush.

I just realized how the underground part was the perfect moment to get back the bugbait. Ya know, versus zombies instead of prison combine soldiers...

Aw D:
 
I loved the 'dodge the Guardian' bit. Getting into the next hole just as it slams into the wall after you was great. I thought it was a really nice way to have near misses and the game not just be about shooting the big boss, like every other fps out there. The other thing that the section in general does is hint that there are still parts of the Ant-Lion eco-system that we have not encountered.
 
If you use Impulse 101 you get the Bugbait.
It doesn't spawn any Antlions, though.. :(
 
I really hoped for antworker control at some point.

Though technically it should work if we properly setup a env_global.
 
The bug bait never worked when there was a Bull about, it's pheremones overpower yours or something.
I've always assumed that the soldier Ant-Lions are scared off by the thumpers because it's like a warning that a Gaurdian might make to ward off Ant-Lions from another colony. Of course it's possible that it's similar to a natural predator from their home world or that it just confuses the heck out of them.
 
Yeah, when you first get inside Nova Prospekt, it stops working until you kill the guard.

But the lack of bugbait probably sets up for a new inventory weapon in Episode Three. The Combine grabbed the Tau Cannon of the buggy, remember? Have they just been sitting on it the whole time? Have an idea for a great intro to Gauss Gun Elites...
 
When you see the dropship flying away, the jeep no longer has the gauss.

But do not get your hopes up, it isn't there due to technical reasons. The gaussgun itself isn't part of the jeep model itself, so thats why its missing.

The Reason it isn't on is because it probably left over from a early version of the game. Originally you were suppose to get the Guass/Tau Cannon after parker your buggy. Someone was suppose to take it off, I think the code is still in there.

I'd love to give you one, but unfortunately I can't take credit for these comments. They are the result of a good-natured mod vs. not-mod fight between me and AJ Rimmer. Now the clever little imp has taken away my edit button and I am reduced to a powerless flower-wearing homo.

That's not the point. Try actually mapping for a bit.

Try creating a prop_dynamic using buggy.mdl

You won't see the gun since it's a pure attachment to the car.

It's not there because of what I said. It can be removed from the prop_vehicle_jeep with conventional methods though but it's not the point.

You should have heeded my warning.
 
I guess I just have no respect. Fag.

Do you want that kiss now or later?
