Vortigaunt: "man when I teleported to the earth dimension all I saw were these dudes with two legs and stuff WHERE ARE THE BARREN ICE FIELDS OF EUROPA?!@"

trenchcoated arctic scout soldiers offworld troopersssss and it was the gameplay of the guard (smashing in doors and searching for hiding enemies) that was more interesting to me than the look (though I didn't really mind the model)

cremators invisible dudes like kupo was talking about something very large and imposing (ie tentacle imposing, not 'omg strider!!! well time to shoot it to death' imposing) aperture science robotssssssssss

V.I.P.

gabe newell (you know, that dude who founded valve?) has explicitly described the episodes as hl3

err rather I mean this was sent to me by a valve employee, that's the ticket one of valve's least talented employees omgvip now that it's raining more than ever know that we'll still have each other you can stand under my umbrella?

or you can just have the fire not melt at all when hitting an icy surface, the flamethrower leaves a decal with a sort of glistening shader, as if the ice has gotten wet from melting a little bit

you said arctic source can, in fact, make models animate

even if they have melting effects, see bioshock, where the 'melting' was a particle effect and the ice mesh doing an animation and it looked pretty badass

plus you can use the ol' valve favourite, where a problem causes difficulty early on, but when you get a certain weapon or ability later, it is now easily dispatched (see: manhacks) gives the player a rad sense of progress and getting back at those dudes who were annoying them so much earlier...

sound, occasional uncloaking, and knocking objects over are all things that show where the enemy is for a moment, but not long enough to get a bead on him

I question whether you understand the meaning of the word 'absolute'

maybe that's because you joined in aug 07 HELL YEA JOIN DATEZ 4 LYFE

it's slow, fairly inaccurate, small clips, small ammo cap

war machines tend to incorporate assassins, homeboy
