I think i found a new monster in Half Life 2!!!!

I'm currently in "Sand Traps" chapter, in this part outdoors where a man is stationed at a mounted Overwatch rifle, and underneath him is a door with a circlar porthole in it. (This is RIGHT after you turn on the portable electricity generator to power up the combine thumpers. [NOTE: I turned on "A.I Disable" around this part because i didn't want to bother building bridges and such to avoid the annoying antlions]

Anyways, i first blew up all the exploding barrels, then i started building a little wall to protect myself from the antlions that i know will come after i re-enable the A.I. with the wooden boxes and such around that area, using the wall with the door as the backwall. (i couldn't get the door to open, or the NPC to actually man the rifle because the A.I is disabled, so whatever should trigger didn't yet)

As i past underneath the second of the 2 sewer pipes, sticking out of the rockface, i hear a really scary noise, of a monster, really closeby, and breathing :eek: I first thought it was a monster trapped inside the sewer pipe, but THEN, i started seeing my carefully stacked boxes being HURLED through the air :O , like a zombie would smash them out of the way. the only problem was, IT WAS INVISIBLE!!! that is right! i couldn't see anything at ALL! just the boxes flying through the air and the breathing as the only indicator of it's location. i was lucky enough to pump a few shotgun blasts into it, and sure enough, i could see green blood splashing out everytime i hit it, but that thing was STRONG and killed me in a few swipes...it was powerful enough to send me flying back everytime it made contact.

What the hell is this monster, and did anyone else face it???????
 
Sounds like disabling the AI made the Ant Lion Guard you're supposed to fight there invisible. So don't do that.
 
a messed up antlion guard ?
can you try to spawn a paint can and hurl it at it with the manipulator ? hopefully the model will appear
 
seriously, GUYS, i have been following HL news for a while, and i have NEVER heard mention of such a monster...

and yeah, you can turn AI off....kinda the same thing as "notarget". First, enable cheats on the console, then type "AI_disable" ("ai_disable" again to re-enable AI)
 
It's the antlion guard, but your game glitched out. I know you can hear it breath, and you're pretty close to where you first fight one. It also knocks away objects and can sent you flying. Some glitch must have made it invisible.

Well, DUDE, that sounds EXACTLY like the Antlion Guard...it's just that the model isn't showing up.
 
oooooooooh!

ahhh, i see, thanks for the quick replies!

I thought antlion guard too (i have never faced one, up to this point), but i was doubtful, because the noise of the invisible monster was that of a animal, NOT a insect, and i figure, the Guard sounds like the regular Antlions, which i have heard many times, but only, tougher, right??
 
So you're playing through the game for the first time with AI Disabled???

Why?
 
I'm not aware of the antlion guard vocalising, but then, I'm always running like hell from the bastard whenever one shows up so I've not really taken time to listen. However, the attack pattern--flinging objects around and knocking you back--sounds exactly like the antlion guard. Of course, the breathing sound could easily be the sound of its feet as it runs because it's a rather noisy brute.
