New npc

[The_Max07[rus]]

Valve spoke that in due course will return some monsters from Half-Life 2 Beta. I think we shall see them in EP3...

 

[morgs]

I hope they mean the Bullsquid or Houndeye, if they brought those back I would be one happy chappy.

 

[sgt niallr]

Please no Houndeye!

 

[The_Max07[rus]]

Still can return hydra. Hydra my favourite npc in Half-Life 2 Beta

 

[Asknoone]

No beta dicussion.

 

[kineaesth]

No beta dicussion.

[Kula Meenur]

Death will ensue KA, death will ensue

 

[The_Max07[rus]]

We discuss monsters in old version HL2. And a theme about EP3

 

[Druckles]

No beta dicussion.

Even discussions about Valve's on press releases?

 

[The_Max07[rus]]

I think Hydra - system of protection Borealis. Such can be

 

[Mech Man]

English isnt your first language is it? Anyways there is already a discussion on new enimies , search is your pal.

Also

We discuss monsters in old version HL2. And a theme about EP3

The "old version" is the beta.

 

[Absinthe]

What's wrong with talking about the beta? I mean, it's some seriously irrelevant shit by now. At this point I can only see it as fertile ground for investigation and discussion for those of us who love the series. It's just a glimpse into Valve's development of the game, and I don't think they would feel all that betrayed if people peeked around in it. They've long since moved on with upward success and it's just a heavily incomplete build of HL2. It's not like torrenting a full copy of Crysis or anything.

No doubt the beta is fine on moral grounds at this time, but it's still illegal iirc so that's probably why Samon doesn't want it discussed.

No! Beta it is stolen version Half-Life2. In this theme we discuss monsters from an old plot described in RTB!

P.S I badly speak on English

 

[The_Max07[rus]]

Guys we here not Beta discuss!!!! We discuss monsters from RTB!
P.S Please do not close a theme.

Meh. It's not like Valve's going to press charges against one of their own fan communities for merely talking about an old, half-done build almost everybody knows about any way. Seems to me its been rendered inconsequential by this point.

 

[Asknoone]

Beta content – confirmed in email by Valve – is still illegal and in their own words “off-limits”. Thus, you shouldn't have it, and thus, beta discussion is not permitted on this forum.

 

[Absinthe]

Tell them they're assholes!

 

[Mech Man]

No! Beta it is stolen version Half-Life2. In this theme we discuss monsters from an old plot described in RTB!

That old plot was half-done in the Beta version , thus it is technically part of the Beta , in fact one could say that RTB is a very late press release. Well that and loads of cool concept art .

 

[Druckles]

No, the beta was stolen from Valve. In this thread we are here to discuss monsters described in Raising the Bar.

P.S. I don't speak English very well.

Guys, we're not discussing the beta! We're discussing monsters from Raising the Bar!

P.S. Please don't close this thread.

P.S. Please don't double post

Beta content ? confirmed in email by Valve ? is still illegal and in their own words ?off-limits?. Thus, you shouldn't have it, and thus, beta discussion is not permitted on this forum.

Surely the press that Valve released themselves, the hydra illustrated above, for instance, should be ok. Similarly anything discussed in Raising the Bar that also appeared in the beta can't be restricted.

Has that screenshot you posted been removed?

(RTB etc, is, of course, fine)

 

[Iron_cube]

Icky should definitely make a comeback, his AI is half-done and so is his model.

 

[MJ12]

What does RTB mean?

Anyways, I hope for something entirely new or the Icky, though it wouldn't make sense, because if you are fighting it in the water, chances are the freezing water would really hurt/kill Gordon when his head submerged.

 

[Vegeta897]

What does RTB mean?

Raising the Bar.

 

[kineaesth]

... Just because I know what content is in the beta doesn't mean I've pirated it...

 

[Asknoone]

This is not up for debate.

 

[MJ12]

Samon, I've just Emailed Gabe Newell, and I got a response-

Tell dat bitch ass moderator, you can talk bout anything you want man. Cause it freedom speech man, motherf*cking America, Bitch. Don't give a f*ck.

...okay, maybe he didn't butttt....

 

[Asknoone]

Well, the majority of the senior staff are from England, and here we do things the totalitarian way.

 

[Omnomnick]

Lol...

Are we even talking about a new NPC anymore...I smell offtopic...:O

 

[Combine_Advisor]

Marc Laidlaw wrote to me , seriously (when i emailed him about biozeminades) , that they are planning on putting biozeminades into ep3

 

[357]

Why did you tell that? Now we are all going to die! Run for you lives! Oh shi-

 

[Rizzo]

What was that anways?

 

[TheMtR]

its so secret that speaking of it will result closed thread, so shhh...

 

[Combine_Advisor]

What was that anways?

That thing on the pic is a hydra

 

[Druckles]

No, he's talking about biozeminades.

I think Googling it might return some answers.

For now it's best not to discuss it.
