Also, combines are robot-like, Xen creatures were flesh.Actually, Combine minions are more like cyborgs. Mechanical enhancements of flesh and blood beings. And looking at Nihilanth, you can see the metal base it sits upon, and a number of large stitches that seem to hold it together. Its legs even look like they have been amputated.
If you noclip to the nearest void when nihilanth's "overloading" so you can escape the wrath of the trigger_teleport (to avoid getting teleported to the next level) then go back to nihilanth you can see that he dosen't die.really? lol, fake. hey, maybe nihilianth is still alive and hes controlling the combines? could be possible that you only made him get beaten up but and retreat instead of die.

Its legs even look like they have been amputated.true. but if he was controlled by a higher being, who is it? it cant be one of those flying dudes in ep1 and ep2 because there are more than one. or maybe they share their throne? or something... or maybe theres a big daddy who created em? lol
Nihilanth says himself several times "We're slaves, we're slaves!" so the most logical explenation at this time is that Nihilanth was under combine control.o, so someone even higher was controlling nihilianth :> i guess who.
I bet we'll get to know more about Nihilanth in Ep3 ;>
Do you really think they had HL2 and all the little "episodes" already planned out when they made that stuff?No, but Valve obviously thought about the story so it inclines (heh, is that even a word? :P) with the story of HL1.
When HL1 was made, Valve had 20 employees.only 20 employees? and yet it became the game of the year.
Now it has more than 120.
Half-Life used to be simpler.
Its not about how many employees worked on the game, its about the game itself.yes. but im amazed that they made such a great game with not so many crew. they must of had the best mappers moddelers and coders ever.
yes. but im amazed that they made such a great game with not so many crew. they must of had the best mappers moddelers and coders ever.I was gonna say just the opposite! The mapping and the models are shit! And HL is more or less just a modification of Quake1.
The mapping and the models are shit!You're right. I like Half-Life extremely much, but that's just because I love the gameplay and the story.
I was gonna say just the opposite! The mapping and the models are shit! And HL is more or less just a modification of Quake1.cant say that their shit, their just not that good. but face it. at the time when the game was created, it seemed really good.
when is ep 3 coming out? and still, if nihillianth was controlled by the combine, where did all the alien armys go when nihillianth died?The thing to remember is that Xen wasn't the vortigaunts' homeworld. Nobody knows where the vortigaunts actually came from. Xen has no native life, its just a middle-man type world that's used for teleportation. Sort of like taking a plane somewhere that requires a stop at another airport somewhere in between your start and your finish.
NO! DON'T YOU BUY THAT GAME!D:
Stay the fuck away from Quake 4!
Who hasn't played enough half-life to know what xen is?I made it to the chapter "Forget about Freeman" then found the editor on the CD. The rest, well... you know.
I was gonna say just the opposite! The mapping and the models are shit!Have you even played any other first person shooters from that era? In comparison to Half-Life, the maps were were all extraordinarily bland and uninspired, mostly made up of large blocks and built around the textures.
I wonder what happened to the bullsquids.yeah i wonder. they were independant just like headcrabs.
They don't seem to be very intelligent, so there should still be some left in HL2.

It pre-dates HL and still looks way better. And Quake III came two years after that, that was fucking hot aswell.
