about the antlions in the bugbait video..

[john121]

i noticed that when you throw the pheromones and then shot the window, they came pouring through like they were just waiting outside.. and they kept coming in from different places, but where were they before? seems to me you would've killed most of them on your way into the warehouse or whatever building you were in...

Pehaps the area is greatly infested with them, and pehaps u get them on your side before entering the building, and they do seem to be good at tunneling.

I think it's a computer game and they just appear from a secret room when the pheromone is thrown or those antlion catacomb things (which is basically a secret room)

Dunno, but a lot of them seemed to be coming from underground. I just assumed they burrow.

That's what I thought.

gordan picked up the pheremones from a dead ant lion guard at the beging, whatch carefully, and yes, they burrow

 

[Neutrino]

Don't they burrow underground in one of the videos?

 

[Citizen 1150421]

well some off them come from the window that gordon shoots out..

so yea the pheramons spawn from an invisible room but it will be cool if you are forced to come up with places for them to enter so just throwing hte pheramon is not gonna make them magically appear you will have to create a path of entery for them such as shooting out htat window in the laundry room.

Good god! Do people analyze these videos frame by frame!? Wait till the game comes out, play it, then find out! Disecting the videos is going to run many experiences for you.

razorblade kiss- i do want to add that from watching these videos, it seems you'll have to think a LOT more than you did in HL1, considering they'll be using physics as part of this game, unlike farcry or doom 3. I think this is ingenious, and a LOT better than how they used the holes in walls with red faction.

I like it personally. I imagine that City 17 is being overrun by antlions. Much like pigeons in NYC. It would be cool if you see patrols of Combine and Striders taking out antlions.
