My point is you're fighting other human soldiers. They could have done so much better. A large group of grunts taking on a some very strong Xenians/Race-X. He pretty much ended up in the same boat as Freeman which is annoying see how they had a perfect excue to show a real new angle on the situation.And the alien grunts were basically alien versions of the grunts. And the vortigautns were basically smaller versions of the alien grunts that shot lightning.

Official guide of what? I have the official Prima game guide for Opposing Force, and it doesn't say anywhere that Race X came to Earth because humans were "stealing their babies".The Offcial guide says Race-X were attracted to Earth by the casade, and wanted revenge on humans for stealing their babies, so they dicided to take all of Earth's recources and destroy all life on the planet. Nice chaps eh?
And bbson John, Nihilanth is a bigger controller
I know, he sees an alien species lying on the ground, helpless. What does he do? Sticks his had up its ass like some sort of alien dummy, force feeds it strange spores (which the guys shooting you are using as grenades) and pulls what doesn't exactly look like an arm :naughty:
He finds an alien weapon, one that he has seen being used.
We don't know how long those spore launchers were there. They could have been there months or days (Seeing as this was the only time we see a Race X specimen in the entire biodome, it seems as if they weren't there too long). As for how they ended up in Black Mesa, well, we don't know what Race X's relationship is with Xen and Xen creatures*. Race X might have entered Xen at one point while a Black Mesa research team was in the borderworld, and some lucky scientist was able to grab some Race X spore launchers before their daddies returned. Laidlaw describes Xen as being a constant point of contention, so I don't see Race X entering the borderworld at one point as being entirely unbelievable. However, Race X sees Earth as a far more useful location seeing as our planet can provide the alien race with useful natural resources.
Personally, I am of the opinion that Race X and Xen creatures are, in fact, hostile to one another. But, in respect of the writers' statements, I don't think we can honestly say for sure if they are enemies. I know the Shock Troopers will attack the Garg on the dam, but realistically, the Shock Troopers are going to attack you first and foremost since you need to be very close to them to hit the trigger to make them spawn. You can run away real quick and then witness them attack the Garg, but this is really the only true indication that we see of any hostility from Race X to Xen creatures (And Gargs aren't exactly the smartest of the Xen bunch; they probably would simply attack anything that comes into view, thus making them dangerous to all).
Yes, you're right. However, I'm not sure if spores originated from Race X. They seem pretty race neutral to me. I know the spore launcher eats the spores from these, uh, spores, but the green stuff that spores are always nearby (The organic material that you use the barnacle weapon to hook on) is actually of Xen origin.
Well, I imagine Gordon is pretty high from all the morphine injections he's received, so he probably thinks snarks are cheeseburgers or something. Barney is most likely too drunk to realize he's handling an alien as a weapon. As for Shephard, well, I think he does PCP. In fact, I'm sure of it. Maybe Race X doesn't exist at all and they were just part of the visisions in his big drug trip. It could happen. :O :smoking:
These are so called Sprites, possibly inteligent orbs used by Race-X as a power source for teleports.
