Ichthyosaur gone?

[Natan]

I was playing half-life 2 at my freinds house and when I saw the Ichthyosaur coming after me, during the teleporter experiment. I said MAN I can't wait to fight that thing in-game. and he told me that it doesn't ever appear in the rest of the game. Now I don't want anybody to really spoil the game for me but is this true?

I also noticed that it's no longer in the enemies section.

 

[subtlesnake]

That is correct.

 

[Chris D]

The enemies section is pretty much up-to-date.

this game deosnt have nearly the use of water as hl1

its a shame because it is so beautiful

 

[moggy]

yea i know its a real shame- u dont get to fight half the creatures of the original game. u would think they could come in and be like wildlife and that on earth and what with the storyline being what it is too. but these things are left out for tecnical reasons because the old code for these creatures does not fit into the gam or something, yea its a right shame.

 

[Ennui]

It's true. No ichthyosaur. I think you might be able to spawn them though...

the enemy section is missing the combine prison guards

They're just combine soldiers with a different outfit.

Just wait for Sven Coop 2. They'll probably put it in that mod eventually, I mean, the model is already there, they just have to code some AI for it.

 

[Natan]

Cool so can anyone upload some pics of the updated model without it being a spoiler. Please.

Go walk far out to sea during one of the coast levels....

/me snickers.

I don't have HL2 or a decent Pc Yet.

Yeah, it was said to be in the leak but I never encountered it in the game, only in hlmv. You can view the model for it with the SDK's model viewer.

This thing can scare me to this day when I play Half-Life 1. I can only image how scary this would be in murky waters with the Source engine.

there's the updated model

 

[KagePrototype]

It's not as if you were going to encounter it much anyway; it was only going to one-hit kill you when you went too far out in the ocean. They replaced it with the leeches in the final version.

thanks Jimmy the new model looks sweet, though some area's look like they need more detail. I see it's got frog like eyes interesting.

you could argue the same for the combine elite

Actually seeing it during the teleporter sequence had me terrified for the rest of the game anytime I fell into water. I actually thought it was funny when I got to the end and I had never run into it, like some huge massive joke had been pulled on me.

They probably didn't spend much time on it since you only see it for a few seconds and it's coming at you at a fast speed

The combine elite have more armor and a different AI routene.

They have more health, and use the Pulse Rifle secondary fire, while combine soldiers are weaker and don't use the secondary fire at all.
