what the heck is this?

I know, cause you said it was bigger than a strider. That'd be insane to have a guard that huge charging at you. O_O

You wouldn't be able to get close to getting away. :|

Bigger then a strider?...anyone have any rockets?

Let me read a quote from RTB to get you guys a real good description about the Antlion King. ;)

Ted Backman said:
"We knew our fans had grown up a little in between HL1 and HL2 and wanted to elicit a post-Mr. Friendly response. For the Antlion King design, we took one part solpugid head structure, one part duff, and sprinkled some warty growths on top as a 'crown.' After the first character concepts for this guy were done, I made a three-foot long verson in Roma Plastilina. (Unfortunately, this was my first attempt at sculpting freestanding characters in clay and the maquette eventually crumbled.) The Anlions were to have a patiarchal society, much like ants have queen, but but this was to be a creature even larger than a Strider. For a rough idea of scale, in the maquette, Gordon is stuck between the toes of the beast, which towered 60 feet. During development, the topside Antlions started working more and more of the underground space were cut, until eventually there was no place left for the King."

Just to give you guys a good idea of how truly huge this beast was.
 
If the things is 60 feet, which also means higher than a strider...what would it really look like.
Seriously, you can't take an Antlion Guard, and JUST make it a few thousand and a half times bigger. It has to look different. Otherwise i'd say Valve is running out of ideas.



*"60 feet!? OK, i meant BIG rockets"*

I was saying if it WAS a guard, and sense the guards charge just a little faster than gordon can run, if this 60 foot thing were to do that it'd cover the whole half-life 2 game in 40 minutes. :|
 
But they probably won't make it a Guard.
They want to keep ideas fresh.





And now, for something completely off-topic: Poison zombies breathing sounds disgusting.
 
... Is it just me or does that look like a 4 cheeked asshole? o_O

Here's the pic in case it doesn't load for you.

THAT thing is the Antlion king?

I saw that pic years ago on planethalflife.com's enemy page.

They called it Blobbycheeks.

Never thought THAT could be the king.:|

Thanks for sharing this anyway.

Ps: Was this in Rtb?
 
its called the Antlion Larvae I believe, the picture on the first page
 
Im pretty sure, its stated somewhere the workers look exactly the same as the normal ones, but they're asses just glow.
 
That's the old worker. They revamped it later. Same reason the muscle car looks more awesome in later pics than in the early gameplay videos.

The old car was pretty much a beaten-up version of the red jeep.
 
JUST read about it.
It used to have a ram in the front.
Now they changed into a "Gutted-and-Rebuilt" Version of a Dodge Charger.


They also stated, that the Antlion King can be seen in Ep.3.
 
Shit my bad.

Sorry, no anlion kings anytime soon.

i mixed the antlion king thing up with the fact that advisors will be fought in Ep.2

Sorry for the mess.:(

I suppose. I prefer to speculate about things that are there, rather than things that aren't there. I might've seemed a bit TOO harsh though.


Good lord I hope not. I don't mean to be unnecessarily graphic here but if myrmidon rex, a 60ft. tall behemoth, attempted to...copulate...with a guard that stands no taller than 11ft. high, I think it'd...well, it'd rip it in half. And if some of you can't understand how I'm not going to bother explaining it to you, because your minds are too young for it.

What Darkie here is trying to say is that if the King tried to stick his cock in a Guard's vagina there would be some serious rippage of the vagoogoo, rendering the smaller creature sexually disabled.
 
there's no way thats an antloin of any kind. its the artwork. its too strange. antlions are far mor complicated and their skin isn't that smooth. and they're not green. there's too much evidence against it.

We went through this. The antlion workers are no longer ant like, but look like regular antlions with green butts. Just look on the first gameplay video.

I think I understood Darkside's explanation better.

Look at the leg structure, Connor. It's an antlion worker.

Someone just e-mail valve and ask.

That would be a waste of time. We already know this for sure. The video's came out after that pic had been released. It wouldn't help anything to bother valve with this. And if it's not either then we'll see when it comes out.

Er, no.

The pic came out after the video. That's the new antlion worker model. Unless you believe that the buggy is still orange.
 
The gameplay videos were unfinished versions of the game.
I used to believe the workers looked the same as the normal ones, but with glowing butts. But they remade them! This is the new Poison/Worker antlion!

Also there's proof to the fact that the video came out earlier.
In the gamplay demo 3, you can see the car, Gordon takes, to get to the depot and help out the rebels or something. Now Valve has posted pics of the NEW Remade car. It's now a "gutted and rebuilt" version of a Dodge Charger(Which looks rather sexy), With Alyx sitting in it.
 
Exactly. I hope Valve will release some new footage, or new TF2 videos soon, I can't bear with the waiting!
