Dude, the first time a bullsquid spat at me... Holy shit...

[–]AppendixP 19 points20 points ago

That and getting hit by a vortigaunt makes my aim completely go out the window.

[–]kevlo 12 points13 points ago

Even the Houndeyes are awesome now...I almost like being hit because of all the cool effects now...

[–]AppendixP 9 points10 points ago

Dare I say they're actually mildly difficult to not take damage from now. In the original HL they were easy to kill before their sonic blasts (or whatever they are) went off, but now I'm lucky if I can do that.

Agreed, they fuck me up now, especially when all of a sudden like 5 come after you and there are explosive crates around...You can't see to shoot, and the barrels and crates are blowing up around you...its awesome...

[–]AppendixP 1 point2 points ago

Totally. I love it!!

[–]Perk456 1 point2 points ago

I'm actually pretty frightened by them now. Their reflections of their eyes make me uhuhguhgghghg

[–]Kuvakei 1 point2 points ago

Mission accomplished then.

[–]pIIE 10 points11 points ago

Playing on hard. FUUUUUCK those guys hurt.

[–]McBackstabber 3 points4 points ago

I play on medium and I find it hard :S

Damn those soldiers are tough, also.

[–]sonicmx 4 points5 points ago

Yeah definitely do a little bit more damage this time around. And I love the green acidy effect it leaves on your hands and weapon. The animation also looks kinda weird to me when he brings the revolver up to aim down the sights, but I really don't give a shit because this game is so awesome and there's so much I love.... they did such a great job so far.

This game... this game was worth the wait. They did it SO right. Bravo to the entire team.

[–]KATANAGOD[S] 21 points22 points ago

I wouldn't be surprised if they got hired by valve sometime in the future.

[–]Qbopper 7 points8 points ago

I'll be surprised if they don't.

[–]McBackstabber 7 points8 points ago

I am seriously BLOWN THE FUCK AWAY at what these guys have managed to do. I wasn't prepared for this. This is a fan made tribute, that they made on their own time for free... I'm just.. WOW!

Edit: Like I knew it whould probably be cool, but this complete? This detailed? This awesome!?

[–]timeticker 5 points6 points ago

I am just sitting here, been watching the title screen for about 10 minutes now.

[–]notyourstepdad 7 points8 points ago

is it because it's so awesome, or is there an actual problem

[–]Lizardizzle 5 points6 points ago

Barnacles are a threat! You can't hit them with a crowbar only once!

[–]bcarson 6 points7 points ago

Vorts are tough bastards now.

[–]DeadeyeDuncan 5 points6 points ago

they were tough bastards in the original on hard difficulty at least, they could eat through your health in seconds
