Its most recent attacks in the game's development are demonstrated in the model's animations. It was even suggested that Gordon's glasses fly off and leave the player stuck in combat with blurry vision, a feature that would have been challenging to implement considering the game technology available at the time. One of its proposed attacks was to pound the ground and knock the player's weapon out of his hand. If a bad-ass monster is close by, it'll make a warning cry and run away.' - Ted Backman Plus you get the impression that the cybernetics only enhance their behaviour and translate it to the skies, as they look like large marine predators anyway.Īll told, the Half-Life series has great creature and enemy design, and that's a large part of why they stand up so well after all of this time.'It's a carrion eater, and it thinks you are the coolest thing it's ever seen because you create so much food! You can snuff it if you want to, but, if you pay attention to its behaviour, it'll act as an early warning system. The design and sounds are great, and the backstory to them shooting down the missiles (the AI tracking the "highest threat target" and surprising the devs by identifying the missiles as a bigger threat than the player) is a really interesting bit of dev trivia and one of those happy accidents that occur when you try to make a game a little smarter. I think the gunships in Half-Life 2 might just clinch it for me, for the series, though. The Tentacle is a close second, though, as the first encounter with it is epic, and they were quite the revolution at the time. From the original game, it's the Bull-squid for me - it's like an apex predator, eating Head Crabs and Houndeyes whenever they're around and doing a great job going after humans and anything else nearby.
