What's the best Half-Life monster and why is it the mawman?
What's the best Half-Life monster and why is it the mawman?

it's "best" because of the scary vibes it has, not because of it's mechanics
than again that's all the enemies in the half life series
Ian Allen
Is there even an enemy as fucking satisfying to shoot at like HL zombies ?
Loved right-clicking the shotgun up their faces.
Oliver Flores
Blowing up zombies in Blood with tnt or railing multiple of those TRESPASSAH guys in quake 2
Cooper Lopez
You mean headcrab zombies.

>"Office Complex" occurs fairly early in Half-Life, and therefore gameplay was slanted toward the player who is still mastering basic skills, while preparing him for more dangerous encounters ahead. We force the player to crawl, dodge, and fight in tight quarters against ambushing headcrabs. Slow monsters, such as mawmen, give a steady sense of horror and menace, and allow the player plenty of opportunities to learn to team up with allies. -Marc Laidlaw

It's a bait thread, don't reply to mawman replies
Caleb Turner
would have been pretty cool if the game wasnt a fucking corridor shooter.

anti mawmen fags blown the FUCK out
Ian Morris
I know people shit talk Valve now but god damn did they understand level design
Thomas Hall
I really liked the enemies in Half Life.
Ryan Scott
That's because they didn't rely on play testers back then.
Also that middle wall that blocks allies from following you was bullshit. I'm glad you could push them through. You could have 7 scientists and 3 barnies with you by the end of the level.
Owen Diaz
Me too. Too bad they didn't bring 90% of them to HL2
Levi Jones
Both the venom headcrabs and the fat guys who blow up into more headcrabs are mechanically scary enemies

thats what sven coop was for
too bad it diverged too much from HL with 4.0
Connor Wilson
I like fighting all the enemies.
The fights against the HECU marines were really nice too. The setpieces gave the AI some nice opportunities to surprise you.
