Female Zombies?

JohnnyBeverage · Dec 15, 2004

I have played the game through twice now and havent noticed any female zombies. They all seem to be men. Have i missed female zombies somewhere? Just curious.

XMark · Dec 15, 2004

Well, the zombies you run into are so badly messed up that you can't really tell what they were before they got headcrabbed. And their voices are also not exactly human anymore.

jimmyjam · Dec 15, 2004

they're dudes

Edcrab · Dec 15, 2004

Yeah, that was a bit inconsistent as far as I'm concerned- but a plausible excuse; what the heck would happen to a zombie's chest maw with mammaries in the way? I think the resultant mutation might be a bit too sick for a 15 in the UK :x

JohnnyBeverage · Dec 15, 2004

When you kill them though it and the headcrab comes off its always a guy.

Ennui · Dec 15, 2004

Nitpicky

I'm fairly sure all the zombies are males.

JHD536 · Dec 15, 2004

The Headcrabs injected so much hormones that it instantly transformed them all into males before they died.

Bobcat · Dec 15, 2004

Let's just say that Headcrabs are all female and they aren't lesbians...

Valve is totally sexist! And racist too! Do you see any black zombies either?

Just kidding. There's female and black citizens. Which brings me to this: Was the mayor of Ravenholm racist(and sexist)?

Maybe the fast zombies were females. Plus they are stripped of skin, as well as poison zombies. They may have been black.

Jerorfigan · Dec 15, 2004

I'm sure Valve thought about adding female zombies, but, to maintain realism, the head crabs would have had to attach themselves elsewhere to lay their eggs...

jimmyjam · Dec 16, 2004

headcrabs don't lay eggs

just sayin'!!!

MysticalMrBob · Dec 16, 2004

It's possible they only attack males.

The worst she could do is try to 'couple' with your head... fruitlessly.
That answer any questions?

hahaha good one. I dont know why they dont include female ones, i think that would have been really cool, and made ravenholm more freaky

and the game itself more believable.
damn sexist headies!!

Jack_Karverboy · Dec 16, 2004

Wait a second.

If you go into the tunnel before practice with the g-gun, Alyx says it used to be a mining town. I think.

I've got it...

*BOOM!*
Woman: What the hell was that?
Man: The combine launched a headcrab shell into our backyard.
Woman: Oh my god! We gotta get out of here!
Man: Why? They're just little crabby things. They're kinda cute even!
Woman: What the hell?
Man: Don't worry about a thing, honey. I'm just gonna go outside with a crowbar and smack these little fellers then we can go back to bed and have some more sterile non-reproductive sex.
Woman: Okay, whatever. I'm getting the hell out of here now!

(two minutes later)

Man: hehehehehe *pokes headcrab with crowbar* hehehe, whatcha gonna do, little guy? *poke* *poke* *poke* hehehehe OH CRAP!! AAAARRRRGH!!!!!! NO DON'T PUT THAT IN.... *GLUMPH*!!! *GARGLE*

Jack_Karverboy · Dec 16, 2004

^ Yeah thats pretty much it!

xiaoaiz · Dec 16, 2004

o.o Its bit...weird...

I think zombies are all males...I cant imagine a female zombie...><

vsaravia · Dec 16, 2004

Seems like none of the enemies are female. Where are all of the female combine soldiers?

Didn't let 'em join?

Well... at the trainstation female citizens talked about joining the CP for a decent meal

Yeah

"I dont know about you, but I'm about to join Civil Protection just to get a decent meal..."

EDIT: "You've got to be damn hungry to wait in line for this crap."

vsaravia · Dec 16, 2004

Haha, they all sound male to me. Maybe everyone gets a voice box scraping?

(Fragger) · Dec 16, 2004

Where are the vortigaunt zombies?

destrukt · Dec 16, 2004

female zombies are kind of awkward. remember in "21 days" when you see that half naked one running in the forest .. that was weird

jimmyjam · Dec 16, 2004

There probably are female Combine soldiers, or at least on Civil Protection. Remember, they go through a bit of an operation to implant various mechanical...appendices when they get hired up, including one to their vocal chords (a model included with the install, but never used in-game, shows a Combine CP without his uniform), which could explain the distorted speech.

Zombies I didn't really mind. Female zombies would have felt slightly out-of-place. I think they kept them out for continuity purposes, myself; after all, there were no female zombies in Half-Life, and if you'll notice, all the zombies in Half-Life 2 are wearing lab coats and blue jeans...the same as the scientists. But, I don't remember seeing any. I'm willing to bet that's another "faithful" bit they didn't want to change.

CP are human. The combine without his uniform is Overwatch. The zombies don't wear lab coats and blue jeans (plus the scientists at black mesa wore khakis, not blue jeans), they wear tan shirts and blue pants... you can see a lot of citizens dressed like this (like when you first get your buggy)

No, Fast zombies are males too. I actually managed to de-headcrab one time...heres a picture...

As far as I can tell, this is a male.

eediot · Dec 16, 2004

Looks like valve just didn't bother putting females as zombies - it's a whole lot of effort for such a small part, and they were so rushed in other areas of the game.

But if you want, go ahead and make a mod with female zombies. You don't have a due date for it, so get started

jimmyjam · Dec 16, 2004

SearanoX said:
Are you sure about the zombies? From my memory, almost all the zombies were wearing lab coats (though you are right about the colour of the pants). This runs concurrently with the scientists from Half-Life: Blue Shift, though, who had similar lab coats and brown pants.

Though, you're right about the Overwatch soldiers; thanks for correcting me.

they are wearing long, white shirts (and blue pants), as seen on many citizens
it gives the (probably intentional) illusion of a labcoat by splitting the shirt down the middle with the 'chestmouth'

Headcrabs don't get it all their own way. If you meet up with the talkative vortigaunt in the water pipe just after the helicopter showdown, you'll see it's roasting a headcrab for lunch plus has a couple of others for food. :E

As we know from Half-Life 1, vortigaunts have an extremely high-voltage surprise ready for anything that threatens them.

.....ok! moving on!!

i think that headcrabs only attack men because there are two targets :rolling:

Thanks for the screenshot, but I'm pretty sure that there aren't any city residents with white shirts...they do have blue shirts, but not white. The only other citizens seen are the resistence fighters, who wear greens, browns and greys.

you're annoyingly stubborn
try looking in the game
or in the model viewer in humans>group 2

here's a picture from gamespot http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/halflife2/screens.html?page=199

Gollan · Dec 16, 2004

My theroy is that they evacuated the women and children from Ravenholm and left the men to fight the infestation.

jimmyjam · Dec 16, 2004

there are no children

DreamWraith · Dec 16, 2004

good call gollan. except there are women with guns at resistance outposts.

eediot · Dec 16, 2004

Where have the children gone, by the way? Assuming it was even 15 years ago that they installed the suppression fields, that would still leave a whole bunch of 15 year old children around. Where'd they go?

jimmyjam · Dec 16, 2004

15 year olds might as well be adults
also, machine guns

i think poison head crabs gang up on vortigaunts
and it takes about 10 head crabs to control that big head

the poison zombie was shaped alot like a vortigaunt
