There are many types of enemies in the Half life trilogy, from the Vorts to the combine from those crazy ninjas to the head-crabs and don't ****ing forget the mutated baby fetus.

But which of these is your favourite and why? And which one do you hate the most?

My favourite enemy is probably the Vorts, and now that they are our allies, they are my favourite allies too.

My most hated enemy is in my opinion the poison headcrabs, they are such a pain in the ass...
 
There is no trilogy. And my favorite enemy is a tie between Striders, Hunters and Gunships.
 
Well, seeing that episode 1 and 2 is a part of half life 3 I would say that there actually is a trilogy. Or there will be one when Half life episode 3 is released.
 
HL 1 - the marines
HL OF - Gordon Freeman. I so shot him in the back...
HL 2 - Strider
HL 2 pt 2 - Hunter's

Overall - hunters, they are badass and look so cool
 
I belive Valve said they wished they called the Episodes Half-Life 3 episodes 1,2,3. But they arn't. there part of Half-Life 2. just an extension of it.
 
Z0mbin3, you clearly got that interview with valve wrong, they said that episode 1, 2and 3 is half life 3. They wished that they called it half life 3 because it actually was the third game, they also said that it was to late to change the name to half life 3 now.

You'll See in a couple of years when they release all the episodes in a nice little pack, which they'll call Half life 3!
 
really? i thought they will release the new half life under the name "half life 3" and not "4" or something. I also thought, that they didn't want to make players wait another 2 or 3 years until they release the new half life and so they released episodes. now that they used the episodes f?r half life 2, why shouldn't they call the next hl game half life 3?

Shut up Berkman, your confusing people, What valve actually said was that it was basically the same but Half Life 3 will still be called Half Life 3 not Half Life 4.
 
No, Valve basically said that instead of making a Half life 3 that would presumably take 8 years to make, they would make episodic content. Half life 2 episode 1, 2 and 3 is just a mistake. It was meant to called Half life 3 episode 1, 2 and etc.

Nick, you're the only one that's confused at the moment...
 
HL1 - The assassins
HL2 - combine elite
HL2 E1 - zombine
HL2 E2 - Hunter
OP4 - Race X

And please dont post if the episodes are Half-Life 3 or not, this thread is for saying what your favourite enemies are.
 
Half-Life 1- A toss between the marines and the Black Op Assassins
OpFor- The Pit Drones
Half-Life 2- The GunShips
Episode 2- Hunters
 
HL1: Marines/Black Ops
Blue Shift: Marines
(yeah, a crowbar-wielding nerd in a super suit and a rent-a-cop with a pistol going up against Marines with enough firepower to level a mountain sounds fun indeed.)
OP4: Race-X
HL2: Gunships and Striders
Ep2: Hunters (I love them fletchett-spitting bastards)

No, Valve said what they said. In fact, I'll even take the next 5 minutes to search for the interview and give you some direct quotes. Sure, I had to go via IGN, but what could I do?

IGN said:
Throughout the interview, Newell refers to the episodes as Half-Life 3, and points out that they aren't considered expansions.

Gabe Newell said:
Probably a better name for it would have been Half Life 3: Episode One, but these three are what we're doing as our way of taking the next step forward, but Half-Life 2 was the name we used
Click to expand...

As you can see, Gabe called them Half-Life 3, and they're considered a new game, but they've called them Half-Life 2, so they've called them Half-Life 2. Which means they are Half-Life 2. A new game would therefore need to be called Half-Life 3. End of story.
 
Halflife: Barnacle
OpForce: Sprite
Blue Shift: Rosenberg
HL2: Scanner
Ep1: Hoppermine
Ep2: Antlion Scrub.
 
Oh man, tough one, I like everything in this game.

K I'll TRY and make a top 3:

1) THE MARINES from HL1 !!!!!
their oneliners = awesame
first time a game had such good ai with enemy taking cover and throwing grenades = ownage
2) beating headcrabs with crowbar!
in HL2, cause in 1 you needed two hits.
but in HL2 you can like hit them with crowbar while they're jumping to your head, i never get bored of this.
3) gunship/helicopter
all of them, from all games.
running from cover to cover, trying to survive, trying to find a way to beat it.
4) hunters
probably the most refreshing gameplay in the last few years i've seen.
When they're hunting you your heart is beating and you can't hide!!!
You're nowhere safe, always on the run, you need to keep moving!
My only regret is that Valve didn't make them harder :p
Originally they were only killable with throwing back objects at them with the g-gun.
5) those big antlion things
it's always a challenge to confront them, carefully timing your sprint left/right skills :p

k k it's a top 5, but as I side, i like all of them.
From burning those zombies after painting them white to deforming tripods to zeropods with the magnusson device :d
 
Ok, I'm sorry. Screw that episode thing...

One of the best enemies are the hunters, they are like the love children of Chuck Norris.
 
They could be called Super Happy Crowbar Funtime Episode 2: Purple Alyx panties for all I care. As long as the series doesn't end with EP3 I'm happy.

That inquiry has already been suppressed by Valve. Episode Three is the end of the arc but by no means the end of the series.
 
The end of the arc? does that mean no more Gordon? man ep 3 better be the longest damn episode there is or im going to be super pissed! Longer then Half-Life 1 and 2 combined.
 
No, it's the end of the story with the combine.

Not the end of the series means there's more Gordon.
 
ok I'm good then. *shivers horribley* sp* That means in the new arc there will be a newer badder enemy. What's wrose then a Empire of slugs that invade you strip your planet bare and kill all life there?
 
Striders, and fast zombies are my favs, and I hated having to fight the Hunters.
 
Striders, fast zombies, Hunters, Gunships, Antlion Workers, and Dropships if they count.
 
The zombines, obviously! but next would be advisors, then poison zombies, after that, zombie torsos, then zombies, then poison headcrabs, then headcrabs, then antlion guards, then anlion workers, then antlions, then barnacles, then gonomes, then striders, then stalkers, then hunters, then combine elites, then combine soldiers, then rollermines, then manhacks, then hopper mines, and don't forget everyone's favourite flying alien fetus AKA: The Nihilanth, then, oh screw it i like them all exept for fast zombies and fast headcrabs, stupid anti-social pricks!:frown:

Thats good. does that mean more Alyx, Barny, Kliner exe? but how will we beat the combine? they are an inter-dimensional empire! At most what will happen is we will shut out the combine from our universe for a while. A LOT is going to have to happen to wrap up this story arch. More than any other HL installment ( 30 + hrs game-play anyone?). And any way the whole HL series is rooted in the human Combine conflict. what would happen if they were no longer the enemy? Maybe the difference in the story arch is in the installments after Ep3 is that humanity goes on the offensive. I don't think the combine will just disappear in latter games. And then they would have to come up with all new enemies and a new conflict.

And by FAR the Hunters! they are so awsome! I just hope they make them better and smarter. Give the ability to stalk and hide. Give them a pack system where they work together to flank you, trap you tick you! then you could have a level where you and the Hunters are "hunting" each other!

The Cremator from the HL2 Leak, It is soo mysteriously evil of the Combine to turn children into them (If my sources are correct) that are used to clean the streets of bodies with a acid gun called The Immolater. This would of been a excellent foe to take on and better yet, it bleeds BLUE! :bounce:
 
Well..

For HL1 It has got to be the Gargantua. They were the freshest feeling bosses in any game at the time. It was like one big deadly puzzle. They really mixed things up.

For HL OP, I am stuck in that pitch black maze with nutty aliens that kill me, so I can't really say. BUT If I had to choose now, it would be those Headcrab Zombies who took steroids. The really buff ones who scared the crap out of you the first time in that flame tunnel section.

HL2.... Oh man, It is a tie between the early gunship fights and the fast zombies. The gunships are really durable, and dish out the pain. Like the other synths, they sound like animals put through a weird vocorder and I love their animations. They are just pure fun.
The fast zombies got introduced to us in Ravenholm. I don't often play survival horror, but these guys were terrifying. That first time you see them jumping on the roofs, and then one runs like bats outta hell at you? o.m.g. Then, for the rest of the chapter, you come to really dread them, because you are never safe and they can sike you out.

In EP1 the final Strider is my favorite, because of how close you are. Overall, EP1 was somewhat lacking so this scene really stood out.

In EP2, It is obviously the Hunters. Their animations, design, and behavior are top notch. I still cant get over the sounds they make, because they are like animals. It is just plain fun to fight them, and I hope that Valve can set up some sort of Ravenholm... but with Hunters replacing fast zombies in EP3.
 
Favorite enemy would have to be the Xen Controllers, in all their levitating, fireball throwing nastiness.

From HL2 onwards, it's the manhacks. Even just on the basis of their name. Man-hacks. And the fact they're little flying robotic buzz-saws just makes it so much better.
 
I liked the BOTS from Half life, I played counter-strike awhile back before I played half life, and BOTS were on it, then when I saw them in HL I was like OMFGORORZ!!!1 :).

BOTS: Black Ninja Things.

dude, is it me, or did you just choose all the enemys who cannot move and/ or attack at all. the scanners just flash, barnicals just sit ther and wait to get shot, and grubs? they actually give you MORE health rather than taking it away!

me, its gotta be:
HL: marines/ black ops
HL2: zombies/ metrocops
hl2 ep1: Zombine
hl2 ep2: hunters

Youre the confusing one :(

Halflife 3 Halflife 4?

:(
 
Combine Foot soldiers from HL2, at anticitizen 1 and follow freeman. i just loved the way there were so many, and killing them was just so much fun.



striders....becuz they are annoying. Especially in HL2.
 
Gunships or Hunters would be my favourite enemy. Hunters are so well-made, and Gunships are just awesome. Fast Zombies and Striders come in second.
 
I'd have to say...

Half-Life = Ichtyasaur (so scary....)
HL: Oposing Force = Gonarch (the giant zombies that throw gut puke and can run), or the Race x Antlion guard thing (especially in the level in the sewers when there are like, seven of them!)
HL: Blue Shift = Grunts (The MP5/M4A1 has such HORRIBLE aim! argh!)
Half-Life 2 = Shotgun soildiers (especially when they come around a corner and fire some led into your face from 3 feet away) OR Poison headcrabs/zombies OR fast zombies
HL[3]2: EP1 = Zombines
HL[3]2: EP2 = Antlion workers(poison). (OR any of the Half-Life 2 creatures mentioned above
 
Half Life-The Assassins
Opposing Force-Race X
Blue Shift-Houndeye
Half Life 2-Strider
Episode 1-Combine Elite
Episode 2-Hunters,As much as they annoy me they are still badass
 
HL1: Marines
Op4: Not sure, haven't played it much...I guess the Voltigores or whatever those huge things are called.
Blue Shift: It's pretty much HL1 from a different perspective, so Marines again.
HL2: Hunter-chopper.
Ep1: Zombines.
Ep2: Hunters
