My brother has finished HL2 today, I'm still a bit behind because of school work and getting my 9800Pro only last friday (just entered Ravenholm), but here's my concern: my brother said he has fought multiple striders, only he has never seen them use the blue cannon as seen in the bink vids. They are only armed with high-speed machine guns, like Combine choppers have, or very similar. I've seen my brother battle manatee's, and it was everything I wished for and more (the sound they make when they're hit by a rocket! *cream*), but I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed by the striders' missing death ray Also, he has never seen striders impale other people with their legs, neither as a strider tried to impale my brother. Long story short: what the deelio?
