Zombies

I think that gonarch is more like a queen ant, completely different from most of the babies.
Also, some ants can fly, like the rumoured flying Headcrab.
The male ants and younger queens, if I remember correctly.
If the headcrabs are meant to live with an ant-like class structure, that can only mean one thing:

All those headcrabs were girls! :O
 
the Garg

I love that enemye(I call he BigBlue,cuz is blue)
is one of the more best enemyes that I seen
if he no back in HL2 I will cry

and the dog whit many eyes too,but I want they will be more dangerous
or maybe another class of houndeye,maybe much big and ugly(no the houneyes are cute,are like dogs)
somehting cool that I want in HL2 is,when the houndeye make they EMP,freeman will get deaf in a few time,or another effect by the sound
cuz that is a sonic atack right?
 
my whole take on the matter was that headcrabs grew like such....

baby headcrab
headcrab
zombie
gonome
gonarch

i'm assuming hl2 will fill in the blanks in their growth

i don't think valve will make them like ants cause to do so they'd have to be organized. right now they just run around till they latch on to something.

i think they can all eventually grow up to gonarch size, just most of them get killed off.

at least this is my interpretation
 
I'd agree with that.

Though I wonder if these rumoured Flying Headcrabs (I think we first heard about them in a preview, didn't we?) are a different gender, species, stage in the life cycle, or what...
 
what about a kamikaze zombie(explode)

or a new mutation class
cuz when a headcrab take control of a human, they body is mutating(the claws the green things in they body,the torax is opened)
for example more long claws,or short tentacles made of meat,or a aditional arms arounds the torax opened to take his victim to eat it
thats not bad idea

if I can I will post my fan art here(but my scaner is not functional)
 
i think the zombies should just stay really dumb.... easy to kill.. but i really like the way int the e3 vids they could crawl along the floor and pick up objects
 
if there are flying headcrabs in hl2 i would expect them to be like grasshoppers. and i think gonarch is one of a kind, i kinda doubt head crabs could evolve into it. one more thing, i had a seriously crazy idea; what if there was an evolved form of a houndeye that is large/strong and fast enough for may be a zombie or a slave to ride on it.....ahhahahahhaha...that would be soo kick ass!
 
that something real the zombies are easy to kill
something good in (my opinion)is that the zombies will move and atack more faster,like the gnonome who runs whit high speed to you
or just somehting else that made the zombies hard to kill
like in the videos apear when we cut a zombie by half the part of up still living

wow mayb you as a player would be able to jump on the back of things and ride it around :D

i used to do it with the pickups in GTA 3 :D
 
actually, I was wondering about that sort of thing... if you're careful, could you jump on the back of, say, a Strider? Or would the old "you're not supposed to touch this, so we'll just give you automatic damage" thing happen?
 
i was doing it on the UT2004 demo... i jumped on the back of me buddys tank wile he was driving around and i was caping every one with me mini gun was well fun :D

but i dont think it will give auto damage the enviroment always was pritty realistic in HL and form the looks of it HL2 is aswell
 
Cool... actually... I think I'll go and see if you can jump on top of bullsqiuds or something (in HL1) when I have some free time...
 
may be, there'll be teams of zombie houndeye riders with super cool a.i. and with like as much organization of a marine party, and, and,.........
 
i dont think the zombies or houndeyes would have the inteligence to go hand in hand really :/
 
i'd like to be able to train a headcrab, they're just so cute in an "Ahh! Ahh! get it off me!" sorta way.
then later when your pet headcrab zombifies a combine trooper you could teach the zombie to use a gun just like Fred the zombie in the movie Day of the Dead. and you could be partners.

he could be like chewbacca was to han solo only more retarded and ugly

Gordon- Hmm i don't like this Mr. Crabo, something's not right
Mr. Crabo- *picks up a barrel and throws it at a wall while making trilling noises
Gordon- Yeah, we should probably find another way around, there's probably scanners around. you're so smart Mr. Crabo
Mr. Crabo- hugs gordon and the audience has one of those Awww moments
Audience- Awwwww
 
does anybody remember at the beginning of Opposing Force where you find 2 scientists studying the headcrabs? and one doctor says "I wonder what the next stage of mutation is?". Well if you can remember that bit, then you'll remember seeing the Genome (i think thats what its called), you know, the zombies that throw their guts at you? Anyway i wanna see the next stage of mutation after THAT. That would be creepy
 
Gonome. Easy to get the two words mixed up. Genome actually refers to a set of genetic code.

I reckon the next stage of mutation would be almost unrecognisable...

Wow, I think you're on to something.... in a mod influenced sort of way. I've always wanted to command those little headcrabs

*pictures self with outstretched arms with headcrabs on them... "go do my bidding"*

cool
 
hehe mayb it will work in the same way as the spaws but you got a bag of heads instead and they all follow the heads when you throw them about :D

ummm is it just me or am I the only one who didn't get this?

On another note someone said that valve said we would be seeing the next stage in zombie evolution, it would make sense since they have had 15 years to metamorphosize or whatever. I think we'll see what they all eventually turn into
 
all the headcrabs would jhave chased teh heads about like them tings in the HL2 vids :p
 
AzzMan: But some of the zombies we see in the Binks are fresh, don't forget. Perhaps the new invasion has only just started, and they don't actually take that long to metamorphose. The Gonomes popped up in a few hours...

Then again, if the invasion has been going on since Black Mesa, we could very well see long term zombies... I wonder how long they take to turn into Gonarchs, if they do at all...

Also, I wonder if the supposed different types of Headcrabs (Lite, Beefy and Winged, from the online previews.) mutate people into different strains of zombies...

EDIT: fishymumma... are you on something?
 
crack :p

aiii flying zombie men.... would be like the flying bugs in starship troopers... flying round taking off peopls heads !
 
i do not think half-life 2 will have anything to do with opposing force. so, the HeadCrab life cycle is still somewhat of a mystery.
 
Why has no one mentioned my little buddies the Snarks.Perhaps the greatest enjoyment I got outta HL was watch my swarm of Snaks attack.I wanna see the thing which laid the Hives of snarks(I mean unless they were teleported in as a form of Bio weapon) The momma snark.Or maybe a suicide carrier that walks up and reaches critical mass then explodes showering the area with Snarks.
Though Failing that a rideable Hound Eye would be cool.
Also arnet the Slave(Green Electricity guys) ment to be on your side this time?
 
I too want to see my snarks again!

Or maybe something new along the same lines.



It would be great fun to unleash a masive attack of little snarks on a large group of combine and just watch the ensueing chaos!!! :cheers: :D







God I can't wait for this game......
 
Maybe something Like a Cluster bomb of Snarks.
Picture this:

Gordan traped at the end of a long straight narrow street,with a legion of Combine marines coming toward him and the last remaing resistance.
Gordan has a trick up hes sleave(Or HEV suit equivilant).Two resistance members pull out an overly large mortar and and Large canister marked "BIO HAZARD".They load it into the mortar and fire.

The Can soars about 20FT in the air and burst open dropping little red bomblets,the Combine troops drop under cover thing themselves safe but one the mysterious bomblets hit the ground but instead of explodeing,it uncurls itself revealing a starved and Cryogenically stored Snark! Their cover useless the combine troops are quickly over run by the red tide and just as the Snarks turn toword the Resistance members their Uber-Metabolism causes a Massive Suicide blast inside them."

God if it isnt in the main game im gonna mod it.
 
is possible in HL2 the slaves will be on your side
cuz in the end Gman looks to hav control over the xen
example in the end when Gman talks whit freeman and the two are in something like a alien elevator
who are the snark?
the weapon like alien cockroachs who explode?
 
All of the slaves I saw in the game were allied with you, maybe the head crabs are just a parasite and the slaves and rest owned xen?
 
Yeah the snarks are the Redish suicide Insect-like aliens u tossed at people.
 
VALVe did say that some of the enemies from the original would be our allies....
 
Yeah, They even said it would be the Alien Slaves (I read that before the leak, PCG UK edition).
 
I figured it would be them. Maybe it would be a revolt ,and the slaves got pissed, and are battling with the humans.
 
My friend told me they are your allies and thats why I said that, so I guess he found out from there.
 
In Sven CO-OP they put in a feature Valve origonally ment of HL1 where the alien slaves heal each other useing their Electricity attack,Wonder if it'll be in HL2 and if they are allies can they recharge Gordans HEV suit.
 
That sounds good, if you have played point of view, the alien slave you play can recharge its health by firing its electrical attack at a enemy.

Think about the location city17 is. Think of the possabilities of hosts for the headcrab.
Human
Dog
Squirrel
Houndeye
vortigons (alien slaves)
Alien grunt
combine

What if one zombie can fuse to another zombie to make an even larger zombie or creature, like the film "the Thing". Extra hands, arms, or it could just sliver across the floor.

Will we be able to see the mutation take place by the character model dynamically changing to alter appearance
