Leech Snakes theory

[Antlion Hunter]

Does ANYBODY have info. on those worm/snake things u see swimming arond in HL1 AND 2!?!

 

[xcellerate]

they're leeches.

 

[Antlion Hunter]

yes BUT COULD THEY BE Xen aliens?for 1 they have these needles coming outta their mouths if u look closel;y at a dead 1.

 

[Antlion Hunter]

Plus leeches dont make screeching/chirping noises or have needles in ther mouths or watevr

 

[Ames]

You see them in the first HL too.

 

[FireCrack]

I'd say they're xenian

 

[Antlion Hunter]

and if u recall in Hl1 were u had to destroy these boxes clogging a machine in a basement likje area there is a zombie down there.but if u activate notarget they will still attack u but not the zombie!
any more bright ideas?

I remember them from HL... but haven't seen any in HL2. A couple of times I thought they were there, they were spines (or whatever) dropped from barnacles I'd shot.

Where are the leeches in HL2?

That's a question not a theory.

Anyway, they're in HL1 and they're the Xenian version of leeches. Like houndeyes are the xenian version of puppies.

I didn't see any either. Maybe they're in the water around the coast levels?

 

[cabbs]

if you walk into the water on the coast levels, you are eaten by very large leeches. very large :|

 

[Danimal]

Very large indeed, the detail in them is alot better in source too :thumbs:

 

[Seppo]

Yeah, and they will eat you alive in like three seconds. Those little bastards are alot more dangerous than what we saw in Half-Life 1

 

[Uni-Ball]

yeah they also attack the crap out of antlions lol

 

[Seppo]

yeah they also attack the crap out of antlions lol

Wait, I thought the antlions drown? It looks like they're trying to swim rather than being eaten alive.

 

[Ornithorhynchus]

And I thought I was being clever staying OUT of the water.
OMFG I DIDNT KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW... :flame:

Now I have to play it again

 

[MarcoPollo]

yeh and there is a sweet spot in the water where you wont get eaten by leeches BUT the antlions also drown its awesome

 

[MarcoPollo]

i wish there was an ichthyosaur in hl2 besides that one in the begining
ichthyosaurs are awesome

 

[NJspeed]

Think it's possible to create a mod that puts an ichthyosaur in the game?

 

[Blakeb155]

I think that they're Xen for sure. I'v never seen leeches eat someone alive like they do in HL2, especially someone in an HEV suit.

 

[FireCrack]

the ichthyosaur doesnt have complete animations.

 

[Spartacus]

Um, leeches? Anyone have a pic? Its not springing to my head...I've played half life 1, but dont remember any leeches.

 

[FireCrack]

Remember in power up? the place where you fight the garg.

When you go downstairs to unflood the primary generators there are leeches.

 

[Spartacus]

Ah, now I remember, what your talking about. I always thought those were small fish.

 

[Antlion Hunter]

nope their complete ass biting leeches/snakes.Enough x planed

 

[Antlion Hunter]

And the bad thing is in HL2 you cant kill them like in HL1.

 

[Antlion Hunter]

Recommendations if leech encounter is necessary:SWIM/SPRINT AND DONT LOOK BACK OR GAWK AT THEIR HUGE @$$ SIZE FOR TOO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DEATH eVADER]

You can't swipe at them individually with your crowbar, theres too many of them.... ;(

Has anybody tried scooping them up with the organic grav gun

 

[Uni-Ball]

good idea im going to try that out and question on the bridge part of City 17 (were you are under the bridge) if you fall into the water do the leeches kill you?

 

[CREMATOR666]

You cant because they're a trigger_waterydeath entity which spawns non-solid, unharmable leech models while chipping your health away and making it looked like the leeches are attacking you.

 

[Mr_Fofo]

How far out do you have to go to be eaten? Whenever I go in the water nothing happens.

 

[Laivasse]

the leeches are only in some parts of the shore (latter part of Sandtraps, and Nova Prospekt iirc), other parts you can wade out as far as you like and there's nothing.

 

[MarcoPollo]

yeh but about the itchthyosaur thing...... I saw one in the coastal levels buts its just dead and washed up on shore and i spawned one and, yes the animations are very in complete all they do is attack and make this wierd movement when they die lol.

 

[MarcoPollo]

and the organic grav gun like cremator said.....u cant do because the are nocliping bastards.....but the reason for that is because if u go out farr enough its just outer limits of the level so i guess valve didnt want u too see the edge of teh half life 2 world lol

 

[Seppo]

yeh but about the itchthyosaur thing...... I saw one in the coastal levels buts its just dead and washed up on shore and i spawned one and, yes the animations are very in complete all they do is attack and make this wierd movement when they die lol.

Where exactly did you see this? Did you use noclip?

 

[Antlion Hunter]

No.They should be there go out a little way and wait a few seconds.

 

[MarcoPollo]

oh yeh the ichthyosaur thing.....aparently it waas my friend who had spawned one when i was talking a piss so scratch that lol.

 

[ríomhaire]

I'm going to get the hell flamed out of me, but
The leaches look a little like the advisor
I'm not saying I believe it but it just noticed it.

 

[MarcoPollo]

^^^^wat do you talk about of that??????^^^

 

[Laivasse]

Maybe the projection that Breen is talking to is not actual size but magnified many times. And the leeches aka advisors actually control the Combine from the sea. The leeches in the basement in HL1 were actually the Combine's first attempt to invade Earth, gone horribly wrong.
