Other cool enemies?

[SLH]

In my opinion the strider is the coolest monster/enemy we've seen so far that'll be in HL2.

Do you think that an unanounced enemy that's in HL2 will be able to top this?
If you think there will be, care to describe it?

Also, are you pleased that valve released the strider as a known enemy, or would you prefer to have seen it first in the game?

EDIT: Serious posts please.
That means you SMT!

I think the coolest enemy will be a giant stone Gabe Newell idol with laser beam eyes.

I always like human-like opponents most, so my favorite opponent in the game will probably be the combine soldier.

About the strider; I'd have liked it more if Valve hadn't showed it in the HL² movies. Imagine the surprise when you first encounter such a thing when you're running in City 17.

That's what i think, although i'm a little ambivalent about them revealing the striders, since it's made me want the game a whole lot more. Must be difficult for valve to keep a lid on things like that. As i make games i know how hard it is to keep quiet about every last detail.

I am glad that they havn't given away their weekness though.

Maybe we'll get to see even more impressing enemies :O

The Strider certainly is cool, no doubt but I reckon there could be more exciting enemies in the game, although I suppose that depends heavily on what you mean by cool: Scary? Impressive? Fun to fight?
I have no idea what form this other beasty could take but I reckon there'll be one to top it because Valve haven't seemed too keen on revealing too much that could still be a nice surprise and so if the Strider really was the best, I don't think they would've shown it off too much. But like you say, it would've been more impressive (not to mention scary) to have never seen them before playing.

There'll be enemies more badassed than the strider, I'm sure. Nightmarish alien monstrosities dripping with goo than make you yelp like your little sister and run to turn on the lights. Wusses.

Maybe some Painkiller level bosses?

They were way too over-the-top, so I doubt they would fit in with HL2.

That big thing that some sites are referring to as "Asscheek" or "Buttface", or whatever, the one we only have a concept art of...

Humanoid enemies are almost the most fun to battle.

I want to have some thing that make me run away instead of fighting...
...something really hard and scary

Strider.

Though it would be nice to have some other monstrous enemy to kill, even bigger than the Strider. I remember Merc saying there was a final boss, so hopefully it will be something memorable. And not just a big baby again.

Some incarnation of the big blue monster from HL? I still feel the fear creeping up on me when I have one of those after me... scary...

The Fast Zombies will be one of those i will avoid i think... if they are smart... else they will eat lead... ;p

The Strider is to big, and aint scary... but i will run anyway...

 

[kiwii]

I wanna fight the G-Man

 

[Sucky Ducky]

It's called a garg... and yes, everyone would love the garg.. I wanna bet the first small mod to come out would feature strider vs garg battles

 

[Black Mesa corp]

I loved that tall, green creature in HL1 that was made up of three like worms and was attracted to noise... you know it had three heads...anyway i hope they improve on that and make it even better. I think i saw it in the bink, it was blue and ate that combine soldier

I thought the art direction on the garg was rather poor, the texture was too flashy and blue. I would love to see a garg in the color scheme of the antlion(guard)s though

 

[<RJMC>]

I prefer monster not so tall like the strider

in my opinion the Antlion guard looks very cool to fight

anyway from what we know will be 50 types of enemies in HL2 right?

No, that's a hydra. This was something else, but I hope it's in there so it makes it easier to port alot of the same HL2 models that were in HL1 to HL:S.

The good old zombies pretty much my favourite. Also those little annoying but still cute headcrabs. Kinda like the combine soldiers too, cause of their inteligence and they make it more seeming like being inside a good action film Then striders are pretty cool too, and those gunships will be fun killing!

 

[affen]

I just hate those headcrabs (hey, I'm one myself on this board :hmph: )
