ammo limit on pheremones

[Gajdycz]

if u presently have a cold, like me, u might be half out of ur mind.

but...

when gordon picks up the pheremones from the dead antlion guard at the beginging of the prison vid, u can count how many "squishy balls" there are. gordan seems to throw the squishy balls as if there were no tomorrow.

does that mean they are infinite? like unlimited snarks (woot), but dependent on the area?

 

[Harryz]

We will see.

 

[m00gie]

well it could be they just cheated to show it of

 

[kiwii]

i think they cheated or something just to show how it works ...

 

[Tiddalick]

Well in the E3 video just as Gordan picks them up a ZERO flashes at the bottom.
Remember how valve wanted the number of weapons that you could hold limited at this stage? Well my guess is that you indeed had unlimited charges to use the ant-lions to get through this section of game. Now that you can carry much more equipment they might have limited how many you can aquire.

If it isn't unlimited (and i hope it isn't) i think it'l be funny when you're throwing them around, u have like 20 antlions there all waiting for you to throw your next, but you've just thrown your last one and they go for you instead LOLOLOLOL

 

[TeHLaMAH]

they proberly work like the fly gun from HL1 that it is recharging itself

OOh, Hornet gun. Multiplayer SPAMMAGE.

that bug video was cool, the big one you see at the end acted a little peeved off...

they dont attack you b/c kleiner has developed something that you wear that fools them into believing youre one of them.

 

[NeptuneUK]

dont they follow the scent, its if u smell like their mother or something thats why they do as u say..or erm.. tell them to?

 

[czrsink]

I'd much prefer the randomness and chaos caused by unleashing Snarks. There needs to be an element of risk involved when using the Pheromone, otherwise it'll become an unbalanced 'weapon'.

 

[BlitzMan]

I hope they don't make the ammo amounts ridiculously low like in some games (farcry for instance).

IT's not fun having to conserve ammo, I would rather just have unlimited ammo and shoot anything that moves the entire game.

Maybe gordon carries something that continually produces pheromones, like some sort of organ or something, I dunno :smoking:

 

[Dead-Inside]

You'll be needing a lot if you're gonna use them effectivly, so I'm gussing they come in numbers of at least 50.

It's incredibly rude and uncourteous.

I think that it depends on the difficulty level. It would be just plain moronic if they had 4 billion ammo packs around everywhere

I think the antlions follow you as long as you have pheromones in your hand (as selected weapon). When you run out of pheromones, you're dead. ^_^

 

[DvS]

They don't attack you because you are holding a pheromone grenade, it's got nothing to do with what gordon wears.

I think they modified alot of gameplay variables to acheive a better demo for E3, along with this one.

 

[Drizz]

Ahh ive always wondered why they didnt attack Gordon. Lol you would think they would attack gord because they are attracted to the pharamone grenade. The logic is a little off on those guys i Think. The little bugs from HL were better.

 

[Ch1cKeN]

Gordon gets the pheromones from the ant lion guard(the big one).

They probably come in like a package or something, and you'll eventually run out.

 

[Varsity]

Perhaps he was squeezing them and not throwing them. Does anyone still have the video?

 

[Ch1cKeN]

no, hes throwing them, i can tell because thers that dirt cloud that comes out. like 6 metres away.
