[utlbob45]

[MrNoob000games]

theese two are from the citadel . just before going to breen you can see them below . they are solid, proofed with noclip

[pokealong1227]

@DanielChristy19 The next person to mention and episode 3 is gonna get shot... lol

nobody knows if there will be an episode three or half life 3. It's all speculation. All anybody knows is that they ARE going to continue with half life, nobody knows how though.

[VIRUSON7]

you noob, this models was in half-life 2 but no attack.

[magmablood2]

These are both in the the citadel at one point.

[sisisspore]

tha last one is in the citadel, it needs just animation trought... valve had to delete them, youre richt XD

[kiwininja100]

i think the first one is a mortar

[mrkiller239]

Info about the creatures

These were in Half Life 2 Beta or HL2 E3 and got rejected by the bugs and the use of it. They said they might bring it back but didn't know where to put it or use it in the game so for the chapter follow freeman they replaced the mortar synth with the machine combine mortar and if they did add the synths it would probably do no good. And as Stanguner said it was used as a decor for the citadel when gordon was trapped in the pod on the way to breens office.Spoiler Alert!

[Shadermader]

Wrong! These creatures are in the citadel!

[HaederBazooka]

they are in the citadel :)

[av3nger3]

Therese appear in Half-Life 2. They both do. In the Citadel.

[mkt778]

Any idea on how to remove that small little red green and blue thing on each model?

[Nmoyd]

thats not true the last one is seen when you get in a pod the 2nd time

[MagicBeastHide]

@MrHamster15 it probably will, as it's already been established that they exist In the half life universe. I also hope that will be In episode 3. Make it happen valve.

[MrHamster15]

The Crabsynth really needs to be in Ep. 3, I would love Valve if they included it.

[builderman1q2w3e4r]

where do i get SDK and all the valve game character models?

[MagicBeastHide]

I can understand why they didn't use the flying one in hl2, it doesn't really look right when you compare to the other alein-robots such as the hunter or advisor. But the walking one looks like the combine were experimenting with making an antlion synth- I wan't that one in ep 3! Make it happen valve!

[Tantaculas]

Ant lion and headcrab synths? Note texture on the mortar synth thoraxy bit.

[xweert111]

How do you view these models? Please tell me! If there already is a comment saying this, i apoligize,

[MsJsps]

the crab synth was in the half-life 2 deathmatch server

[ReZoz91]

The mortar was in hl2 I saw it while niclipin around the citidal parts of map for idea's for my maps

[Juan4567uh]

u can see the synth close to the end of HL2 EP2 wen u r going up to breens office

[EvilPudin]

@Juan4567uh breen dies in half life 2 T_T

[MrAndrewfreeman]

they are in hl2! you have to look carefully around the citidel when you in the pod. trust me ive seen them

[isokessu]

Maybe there's gonna be these on Half Life episode 3 against the player, because these are in HL2 but you just can't fight against them because they are in the citadel while Gordon is inside some metallic thing

[StrongTube1]

what program is this? :/

[Nailscence]

@StrongTube1 "i found these by using the Source SDK model viewer"

"using the Source SDK model viewer"

"Source SDK model viewer"

That was sure hard to find...

[stefan21913]

no,saw some of those walking in citadel in hl2.

[savinprivtemike]

the 2nd mdl was in the sp of half life 2 towrds the end

[davvvvo]

ohh look its air humping

[VADIM567]

crabsynth looks like headcrab

[Jico762]

You can see the synth in the citadel while you are in the pod

[funnyman1091]

lawl rawr lolwut aliens!!!!!!!!!!!

[shaun03a]

actully these are in hl2 i just watched a video of someone using noclip to get to them

[shocklification]

where do you find the source sdk model viewer

[Bob0p]

the 2nd 1 was used for about 10 seconds of the game the walking animation was used in those 10 seconds

[ReusableBattery]

Synth = EPIC WIN!!!

[layger7]

that is chubby :D

[TeamMemberStudios]

Oh dear god, end the fighting over Ep3.

Valve has said numerous times that HL2 has an episode trilogy. If you are stupid, it means Ep1, Ep, and Ep3.

[2KMercury]

and now we wait for ep 3...

[banloo29]

@DanielChristy19

if their gonna make a ep3! fucking left4dead interrupted them and now i think valve just quit

[mrsnubeh]

@banloo29 We dont know if they compleatly gave up yet. But what i do know is that they are not doing it this year

[Coops9753]

You need to examin more.. at the end of the game (Cant remember if it was in the actual HL2 or in EP2) they cross across a bridge when your in a pod... a hint that they're obviously gonna be in EP3... Unused models my ass

[MarshmallowRadiation]

Synths are synthetic (gettit?) creatures created by the combine. Examples: striders, hunters, gunships, dropships, and those two.

[Maksymilian121]

Yea exactly! If you look at the combine dropships, thel look like some kinda creatures.

[Maksymilian121]

but this looks a bit antilion style

[MarshmallowRadiation]

>:(

this was seen in the citadel.

[ReusableBattery]

Its actually a combine controlled alien race, hence the name "synth"

[stanguner]

the first one is in half life 2 also just on a diffrent bridge

[leonardo444114]

whats so special?

anyone that opened hammer for like 3 times knows about this.

[VidManReBorn]

Kid : /

[Battlepope98]

Rar, they are both in the retail hl2, they aren't unused

[Virginityrocks]

The 2nd one IS in the game, you just never get to fight it. You see it on a track as you're being delivered to Breen's Office.

[stanguner]

the 1st synth is in the game too its just on a diffrent track than the 2nd one ;P

[thedustdevil02]

how knows, Valve might use crab synths because striders were used if there were buildings or trees, and since ep3 could take place in the artic and there is nothing in the artic maybe the crabs could be used.

[Wussup8000]

The only one I saw was the Synth and when I saw it, I thought, "Why don't we fight those?!"

[holycrapapie]

Originally, you were supposed to meet them, but they got replaced with antlion guards.

[Wussup8000]

Yeah, I found that out. I hope we will meet them in Episode 3 (Small chance, considering it is going to be in some Artic area though).

[boom122808]

@Wussup8000

XD,if you mint this you are a stupid...please...ep3,that is never to create

[Wussup8000]

They have to make episode 3.  People would HATE Valve if they don't make it. They aeven announced that it's coming in 2010.

[denver364]

@Wussup8000 we dont fight those because valve is leaveing clues for us mayby for us to find out and now we have found out.... i dont eeally no what i am saying

i think they we be out in HL2 E3

[tank19768]

crab synth looks like giant headcrab

[TheJunkman1986]

wear did you find all the models?

[boom122808]

whit model broser hot to "synth",is a generic actor

[chickenfool121]

No! They did not Replace guard with the synth.

Synth is a bug (who is alive) to combine into other animals (striders, hunters, and other)

They are innocent, do not even hope to have synth in EP3. It's a broken hope.

some idiot trough out that bullshit so he spreaded the word.

[peppej]

0.52 is not unsued you can see it in the citadel while traveling in the pod

[jbaev]

If you were to noclip down to where those things are and attack, would they fight back?

[gmodfan11]

Actually they were meant to be fought the moarter synth (first) used to fire some sort of lasor and crab synth was supposed to be an antlion guard with a chaingun

[kokolihavammane]

that first thing dont show in hl2 but that second was! it was inside the citadel and it was walk there

[mrGlitch2000]

The Mortar Synth can be seen along with the Crab Synth it's on a separate bridge.

[kokolihavammane]

yes, i see that thing in citadel, that mortal thing was in small bridge :)

[scerocks]

isn't the last one called a crab synth?

[ShiznitXD]

half life 3 or ep.3 thats what we gonna fight in neww hl game XD

[MasterOfYourAss]

It's gonna be EP3, since the EPs are a broken-down HL3, and as for whether we'll fight them, we won't. The crab synth was replaced with the Antlion Guard, but never removed altogether, you can sort of fight it ingame on the beta. As the the Mortar Synth, they haven't done anything with that, so we may see the clawscanners having a laser and that'll be the replacement for the Mortar Synth.

[tommyv2468]

howd u get that page at 0:48

[linusWH]

those are in the citadel

[mrshadowXJ]

I don`t know if people have seen this before but the crab synth looks really like a giant headcrab

[SillyGman9000]

Valve didn't forget to remove them they simply just didn't use them in the game it's cheeper and takes less time just to keep them in but not use them

[macic666dp]

VALVe made them but they are low A.I., too bad they look so good :(

[mrGlitch2000]

The only AI they have got is NPC_Generic it's a place holder for NPC's with actual AI.

[MasterOfYourAss]

Actually, as of the Orange Box update, it's now called actor_generic while ingame, but that's only an AI holder anyway, it isn't a placeholder for animations.

[underage117]

the crab synth and the mortar synth appear in hl2 are you blind?

[RazielKain]

the synth tanks only appear briefly during the citadel ride

[gta3gamer56]

Eh Ehy The Synths Are supposed to be replaced by the Antlions

[MegaSean45]

Crab Synth and Mortar Synth might appear in Ep3.

[HerbertTheHamster]

Probably not. If they were taken out of the game (At least, not used for anything 'cept for a cutscene) that means Valve found a reason for not using them and didn't.

[ToxicMadn3ss]

Well its probably going to, since its in a scene and unused, Plus the combine are in little numbers now that alot are dead and their portal is dead. they might need despreat measures

[jcypser]

I think the crab synth is an antlion guard mixed with combine technology. i don't know im only guessing :)

[Krion112]

most people say that it had some relations to the antlion (It was the original antlion, its the original antlion guard) but really it's just one of the species that the combine captured and enslaved.

[ulvemann43]

i have a mortar synth in gmod. it has al animations as wel as an attack

[machiner6]

sorry. PS: the 2nd synth is called "crabsynth". And its purpose is being an organic/living tank. Cooler than the APC. Yes, it looks like a headcrab, but also like the big purple electro alien in OF, and the Antlion guard. The Mortar synth, on the other hand, is meant to be a flying synth, much like the gunship + dropship. However, it can throw things with its jaw, like a catapult, and fire a plasma ray from its belly, just like the gunship + Xen mantas can.

[machiner6]

HOLD EVERYTHING! You DO see these creatures in HL2, during your 2nd pod ride in the Citadel. Just before 4 gunships take off, watch the maze of catwalks closely: They are actually conveyor belts, with both of the "Crab" and "Mortar" synths on them. AKA, what these are! ;)

[george77772moons]

never seen THIS 1...

[kylecarlsox]

the synth is awsome, its like a huge bugg!

[Yellowlad]

Actually, the last one is a Crab Synth.

[Krosn]

2nd 1 was on the end of the citadel they were moving in a group of 3 or something like that, maybe they'll make use of it otherwise it was a nice way to show people there were coming more enemies. But because you destroyed the citadel it wont.

We'll see in ep3 !

[mrGlitch2000]

They were supposed to be Tanks for the Combine but only used in full scale wars.

[i8godzilla8]

the 2nd 1 looks a lot like the headcrab mabey they took it off because they made the new headcrab

[xero73k]

btw, there is not such thing as hl2 beta, theres only the leaked _alpha_

[valvepwns]

there is, alpha and beta can be very similar, just search hl2 beta on youtube, theres many gameplay videos of it

[SgtThom]

If it wasn't for the leak we wouldn't have those models removed.

[hitmanhart2006]

valve removed these models long before the leak. nothing was cut dew to it being leaked, if you read Raising the Bar, or just talk to valve yourself you'd realise that, they just wanted to make more money in the end, and the person who leaked it was tbh a genius or else NONE OF THE MAPS, models animations would have seen the light of day, don't be so ignorant

[danielmm88]

these monsterrs ARE used in hl2 you jsut need to lurk moar hint: pod + citadel

[valvepwns]

i just saw it when i played hl2 again, its on the bridge walking right? my bad, didnt see them, but its just weird how they have attack, dodge, and other animations

[danielmm88]

yes maybe valve forgot to delete the animations oh and by the way in the final stage noclip to the advisor get a crowbar and attack him he will display the same animations

[Krosn]

think they had some ideas for it,

thats why they made more animations

there are alot more animations on models that aren't being used and I don't mind they give new developers more advantage :)

[ratchetglitcher09874]

@valvepwns I thought that when i shot an advisor
