lets talk Aliens!

[Sufferin-rebel]

Ok we can talk about facts or rumor about what Aliens we will encounter in HL2:AM that we havent see in HL2. I know for a fact the chumtoad will have a Apperance in HL2:AM :)

[KoreBolteR]

jus tthe aliens that created the combine... those white ones.. damn what are they called again..

You know for a fact? Sounds good, link?

[KoreBolteR]

omg am i blind!?

i asked who those white aliens were, and Sufferin mentioned 'chumtoad'.

are the 'chumtoad' those white aliens that created the combine?

[G-Dub]

Are you talking about the big wormy thing that Breen is talking to?

The Chumtoad is a Beta-Creature that didnt make it in the game, It was one of the Freindler Species on Xen..

Stalker :P :thumbs:

Actually When i was playing Blue shift i impulse 101 hit a box inside Calhoun locker and saw the chumtoad.. then on the Xen Levels i got inside this "Chumtoad's lair" So it is probally a 75 percent chance it will be in there.. and for a more detailed description it is a purple creature shaped like a (yep u guessed it) toad with werid eyes that would make U.S.M.C Smile :)

[The Monkey]

Bullsquid and Houndeye?

[Edcrab]

Wait, are you saying that you're basing the possibility of a Chumtoad appearance in HL2:AM off their existence in Blue Shift...?

I personally wonder whether we'll be seeing old favourites, brand new critters or variations on an existing theme. Still wonder if we'll ever bump into a remade-for-Source Gonome or a similar specimen...

[kupocake]

I'm reckoning on a big alien to round it all off... either the Antlion king or a Gargantua.

[Jandor]

Almost Certain:

Stalkers
Bullsquid
Houndseye

Very Possible:

Cremators

Maybe:

Snarks
Antlion King

Unlikely:

Hydra
Tentacles
Chumtoad

Barney calhoun...? remember that guy.. He played a big role in HL2 :) so dont give up yet

[Edcrab]

Yes, but Rosenberg et al didn't :O Barney was a long-established "character" (despite his generic cloning) but the Chumtoads in BS couldn't even be described as active- while there's no guarantee that they won't appear I don't think it's too likely that they will either.

[Noobulon]

Wow, what would Snarks be like in the Source engine? :O

I don't expect to see them return, but if they did... well, they'd make HL2DM even more of a crazy, uncontrollable spamfest! :cheese: Great!

Are you talking about in the first HL, that he was supposed to be like a main character?

Wrong, Valve was actually gunna scrap him after HL1, but everyone liked him so much, they added him in.

Anyway, I hope the Ichthyosaurus(sp?) thing will be in there. He is kinda scary, but you get used to him if you play Op4 alot.

And does anyone know the npc_create command in HL2 to spawn him?

[Mechagodzilla]

Icthyosaurs, cremators and the two synths at the end of HL2 are highly likely to be in aftermath, simply because they have already been concretely established as part of the HL2 universe, just like the stalkers were.

Since a finished bullsquid model does exist, and since bullsquids have relatively simple AI, I'd suspect they'll make an appearance too.

Also, we're almost definitely going to see more of the vortigaunts, especially where combat is concerned. Valve just needs to put them into a map and bingo, they're done.

As for anything else, that's anyone's guess.

Well there is some hope for Adrian Sheperds fans :)

If u remember when u went teleporting everywhere and u ended up in a lake.. the outside of the place looks about the same as the area around "Highway 17" so i reckon the combine have some Shields in the canals to prevent the water xen creatures coming into City 17

And those shields have shut down due to the citadel being damaged. Also, there is no good reason as to why the chumtoad should ever, ever... ever return in any hl game.

Nah that area could be anywhere in any desolate wasteland. I reckon it was just a random lake. Either way I *want* Ichthyosaurs in aftermath!

[AzzMan]

Hopefully there'll be something new...
