What was the most number of Security Guards that you "collected"?

[The Monkey]

By that I mean at the same place at the same time. Alive.

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, it could have fitted in the "Other games" forum too, but it seems like a lot of people are posting things about HL1 here, so I could as well do it.

This thread doesn't seem to be noticed here, can someone move it to "General Games Chat", please.

 

[The Dark Elf]

I managed around three at once I think.. I would always fail to build up my army of security guards, didn't stop me trying my luck though

Moved also.

 

[<RJMC>]

I think the maximun I collected is 2

 

[Wraith]

oh shit. it never occured to me that i could get more than one, i always used them for like 5 mintues then shot them for their ammo. dude i gotta play again now...

 

[DoctorGordon]

Well i collected a bunch, not alive though.

...piled all their bodies in the corner.

 

[Speedingorange]

i could never get them to move from there posts... :S

they would not follow me anywhere for one reason or another.. or they got shot by something ells.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

i think i managed to get 3 in the same level.
its pretty hard to collect them tho because they only follow u to a certain point no matter what u do.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

You can only get 3 people following you at the same time...However, if you jugle them about a bit you can get quite a few (NPC's that is...I think I only managed 2 or 3 guards at once)

I've tried collecting every single rescuable scientist and guard and the largest possible number to have simultaneously is four guards and four (or three?) scientists. You can do it in Office Complex.

If it weren't for the damn elevator shaft that they can't follow into, I could have gotten another four scientists on top of that.

Speaking of which, I can't wait to have teamates who can actually climb ladders and navigate terrain in HL2.

Quoted for über-ness. That's what I hope someone does for a Half-life:Source mod.

 

[bliink]

Yeah... you can get the most in office complex, then in 'Questionable Ethics' I think...

 

[Bad^Hat]

Nah, I always end up thwapping them over the back of the head for their ammo

They can? Does that apply to enemy AI as well? What about elevators? I've always hated how most games are slack in that department.

I sure hope so...

 

[Foxtrot]

I would never collect them, I would just beat him to death with my crowbar and take his ammo....did a little skull ****ing too.

 

[Dalamari]

Yeah, beat em with the crowbar and take the ammo

 

[Foxtrot]

Yeah, beat em with the crowbar and take the ammo

And get a little action in while no one is looking...

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Pft, the two people who said 5 are liars!

And yeah, they can navigate terrain better in HL2. At least thats what I've seen. Ladders, climbing over stuff, ducking under.

We already know they can crouch, and there's a screenshot of a resistance guy who climbed on top of a busted car. I doubt it'll be perfect, but I'm pretty sure that I read something to the effect of "wherever you can go, they can follow," referring to the combine.

They probably can't do jumping puzzles though.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

I liked how Freedom Fighters (different system but still) managed this.

The AI could get ANYWHERE. Could scale anything that you could climb on, etc.

 

[zitbug]

Rubbish poll and rubbish question.

What does it matter how many of the bot guards you had?

Never mind, please don't answer my question. :sniper:

 

[Sui]
