i killed the striders so easily, because when i see the striders i can not atack, i was so scared and i started to run, so i find the ammo box of rockets and i kill that striders
I remember when all my comrades died and I was hiding trying to find the rocket ammo box and all I could hear was the loud thumping those striders made....that noise is now imprinted in my mind.
@zenmonkey666 its not that hard - u just have to run like forest gump, and get to the rocket crate on the other site - then ú will be well supplied with medical supplies aswell as ammo
My favorite part of Half-Life is when you have the super gravity gun in Ep. 1 and you can disintegrate the strider's body parts in the dark energy fields. Revenge, tall-ass motherfucker!
@grumpyman2 That was indeed pretty damn cool, also actually being able to take them head on without the need for rocket launchers and idiots walking around soaking up all the damage for you.
@copperdrops Especially in the center part of the stage, the small bunker, there's a chance your allies will block your path. It's pretty damn annoying. I only feel bad when those die who are meant to follow me around. It means I have less diversions when the enemy targets me.
This part sucks, seriously. It's not cool or awesome, it's a pain in my dick, because I got no one covering me, the rocket can only hold three, and for some reason, Gordon won't reload until the previous rocket explodes. There starts out only being three striders, then more come as I destroy them. They keep killing me. This part is so frustrating.
@MattDeathStroke During later playthroughs I've noticed that luck was in my favor during the making of this movie. I had more trouble reaching the unlimited rocket box. Though, once you do reach it you will have enough cover against the striders' attacks and can take them out one by one.
@MattDeathStroke You can't reload until the first rocket explodes because you actually guide the current rocket with your crosshair. You cannot guide two rockets simultaneously with this method.
You knew this, right? Because this part would be really hard if you did not know you could guide the rockets...
@jacksprat1990 Or maybe I didn't think t was the best part of the game. There are better parts. Even if I was good at it, I would've said the same thing.
@MattDeathStroke Half-Life's RPG is laser guided, mate. If you lower the thing to reload it before the rocket hits whatever you're aiming at, you'd just steer it to the ground.
@MattDeathStroke Even though the bots don't do anything to help you out much, the do provide a distraction to keep the striders of you, that's the only good thing they do, UNTIL the part when the strider is programmed by Valve to do nothing else but to blow the wall you were at to shit, also you know NOT to go there at times...
@eskimodude812: The half-life wiki explains so much of the info. left out between games. The combine are part-alien, part-human. Sort of an inter-dimensional hybrid army, if I'm right.
i dotn like striders the fact the game mackers made them like a living organismg dsnt get me at al stil if got the game and lik eit that scary parts of it make it cool
@7249xxl I don't like how your typing is horrendous. I actually have to guess what you're saying here. And from what I can understand, i disagree. I really like the Striders, also because they're living creatures instead of boring robots. I'm normally not a fan of scares, but I like the way this game does it, so at least we can agree on something.
@matsol in this sort of battle he would only come when its like down to last strider so he doesn't get owned by another one and if he kept coming in and kicking ass then there would be no combine left in the game and there would be nothing left to do then kiss the ground that he walks on. I bet the creator of the game figured this out so the on made him come when ever everybody else was getting owned.
@Deathbringer3557 Exactly. I bet they had dog as a constant sidekick in the first version of the game where he just demolished Ravenholm without the player having to do anything. Crashing through buildings, carrying dead zombies around. During the monday morning meeting one guy went "Hm... Maybe we should balance this shit out. Let's make him only open the doors for you. And while we're at it, not let him do much at all, cause he's too awesome." Damn you Valve. Damn you and your staff meetings.
@MrDanielneg That's one deep comment you left me here man. Not only does it discuss the death of my character in the game, it inadvertedly mentions life and death as a whole. When does one die, how and who decides when it is time for someone to go? Could you see life as a video game? Does life follow similar rules as a game could have? Can life be compared to an entertainment medium in such a way? And the W. Does it stand for WE, the people? Maybe the ups and downs of life. Damn you're deep.
You kinda fucked up at 0:24 for not showing the epic explosion of one of the columns. Still a good video, just would've been better if you caught that (its actually scripted into the game whenever you pass by it)
@starchmonkey Hey man, I made it look all cinematic! Like shit is going on all around me. I wouldn't call it fucking up. It's more awesome this way anyway, seeing the debris falling right in front of me and the sound becoming all vague.
@matsol Its cool man, not trying to diss, I actually came across this video after wanting to show my friends what Half-Life 2 is, and they would've been amazed by the column explosion for sure haha.
@EbolaSandwich Yea I know that one by TetaBonita. I love npcs though. I love having challenging AI to battle. Kinda sucks that garrysmod AI is crap compared to the hl2 ones. Combines cant even shuck grenades in gmod without you telling them too ;.; Also there needs to be a difficulty level for gmod. It's like always set to easy where 1 shot with the pistol kills a zombie. I end up having a bunch of binds that sets npc health to more realistic/challenging with more dmg
@TheVidviewer Fighting an alien occupation force, the human soldiers have retreated in order to let these huge alien synthetics fight the rebels by destroying all the buildings.
haha when i did this i lost zero hp and energy :) i made good barricade for myself of junk i found around with gravity gun, and then sniped behind it the striders. was fun, one of my fav fights in this game
@kblade95 Well, in the story they're the resistance, so the first time I played this part, I thought it was awesome they finally stood up to them. And gameplay wise... They're good cannon fodder. They hit them once or twice, but they're mostly good as a distraction. Without them it would've been a lot harder to do. Funny enough, I played this part often and not once did the NPC's cover me as good as in this vid. In other playthroughs I got hurt a lot by 3 striders firing at me at the same time!
@matsol well yeah they probably do a little bit. but they also get in your way too like when your going through a walkway or somethin they just stand there obliviously and dont move.
i have just beaten that part =D maybe a bit late to play half life 2 :P but it still awesome. i think that was the most hard part in the whole game...(yet)
@Alejandro3245 It's one of the best, that's for sure. Especially when it comes to shooters. I too love that sound they make. Very War of the Worlds. You think Half Life 3 or episode 3 can top the impact HL2 made back when it was released?
Hmm, that's tough to say... I think it will, though, because the HL series isn't like Halo or COD where it's multiplayer based... It's all the campaign that makes it fun!
<<I want to see where The Freeman and The Alyx Vance are headed next in their long voyage...>> (read that as a Vortigaunt)
@GMANinGA250 - They're supposed to be going to Kraken Base to save Mossman but then stuff happened. I don't know how they're going to explain it. Maybe Valve will just wait until everyone forgets about it.
have you every had a point in half life where you would be stuck on a level for 40 minutes and had no clue what to do and then right in front of you is the answer but you are to stupid to realize it. thats me on half these levels especially on highway 17
@shackaduck I actually haven't had that much in Half Life 2. A few moments where I would wonder where to go and then after a minute or two found the exit, but nothing extreme. Half Life 1 is another story though. That game was build up so illogical that you sometimes had to pull the most random stunts to get to the next part!
well it only really happened once i guess i went the wrong way on highway 17 and i eneded up at a ocean base for the combine and i must of went the wrong way because i couln't get in the stupid thing and spent 3 hours wandering why and then i decided to go back and yea i did go the wrong way.
@shackaduck - Oh yeah. I was playing through HL2 a week or so ago, and I was in the 'get to the horse' part. I was pinned on top of a roof with 2 Striders surrounding me. The only exit was across a path of narrow girders, and I kept falling off when the Striders shot me.
After like 20 minutes, I found the RPG box that was in the opposite direction of where I was trying to go...
@shackaduck That's Half Life for you though. Especially the first game was a bitch when it came to things like this, having you do the most random things. Compared to that, HL2 is actually pretty logical.
when is valve going to take a left 4 dead break and finish this damn story!! I loved this series soooo much. ( i'm a left4dead fan as well) i just want to see what happens when they left us hanging for years now!!
@supervixen404 Couldn't agree more. It's a pain that we have to wait so long for something that is considered episodic content. It's bullshit, though Left4Dead is fun as well. I guess they need their money eh.
@jake998877 Well, since Portal 1 and Episode 2 came out at the same time, I have high hopes for Episode 3 being announced some time soon as well. In one way or another the stories will probably be supporting eachother again, so it would be only logical. But still, I feel your pain.
@ThepowerofRonin221 Haha, I never understood the magic boxes with unlimited ammo. Feels out of place next to all the other things in this game. And yeah, in this scene you have to assume that you need to keep pushing. I got that hint pretty fast, but many seem to get stuck the first time they enter this place.
if you played on hard and the strider hits you, you will feel the pain! but its a pity that the resistance now have the meg device. Now the striders are nothing but target pratices.
@Articw0lf Haha indeed. They still need some skill to actually place those on the Striders though. I remember missing a few. Not to mention it would be even harder without the gravity gun!
I tried so hard to keep the guys following me alive at this point, but one by one they got picked off... yes, they were idiots, but they were MY idiots!
Just did this part! was so amazing and hard O_O but fun! I just couldn't keep as many squad mems as you did (they kept dying! But 2 of my squad disapeared before the battle wierd!
I've noticed something about this part: The striders are invincible until you get out of the park. So, I wonder why the devs even bothered to put the one rocket crate inside the park?
Really? I didn't know that. I guess it's to play out some scripted events eh. The rocket crate is there to give you the feeling that you actually stand a chance I guess. Gives you something to shoot at them at least. And don't forgot, little things like that can change a lot in how the player perceives something.
Something weird happened to me in this level, I managed to kill all 4 striders, and afterwards, I began to explore the rest of the level to see if there was any ammo or health to pick up, and for some reason, a 5th and 6th strider appreared. I managed to kill those two as well and needless to say I didn't stick around too much longer. I guess the game has features like this to keep you from staying in an area too long. Anything like this ever happen to you?

@supervixen404 Couldn't agree more. It's a pain that we have to wait so long for something that is considered episodic content. It's bullshit, though Left4Dead is fun as well. I guess they need their money eh.

@matsol what is shit that they've annonced Portal 2 now and i hardly think that Ep 3 will come anytime soon but still we have to wait i guess.
jake998877 1 year ago
@jake998877 Well, since Portal 1 and Episode 2 came out at the same time, I have high hopes for Episode 3 being announced some time soon as well. In one way or another the stories will probably be supporting eachother again, so it would be only logical. But still, I feel your pain.

All my teammates would die and id keep running out of rockets...until i found the magic box
ThepowerofRonin221 1 year ago
@ThepowerofRonin221 Haha, I never understood the magic boxes with unlimited ammo. Feels out of place next to all the other things in this game. And yeah, in this scene you have to assume that you need to keep pushing. I got that hint pretty fast, but many seem to get stuck the first time they enter this place.
matsol 1 year ago
if you played on hard and the strider hits you, you will feel the pain! but its a pity that the resistance now have the meg device. Now the striders are nothing but target pratices.
Articw0lf 1 year ago
@Articw0lf Haha indeed. They still need some skill to actually place those on the Striders though. I remember missing a few. Not to mention it would be even harder without the gravity gun!
matsol 1 year ago
@matsol haha yeah, but once you get the hang of it, trust me, you will find it EASIER to kill striders than to kill hunters.

try playing the end of episode 2. you have to battle like 15 striders, each accompanied by 2 hunters each. at one point 4 striders come in at once.

Ammo crate is in the park so you have a full 3 rockets when you go into the fight.
warhawk1995 2 years ago
I've noticed something about this part: The striders are invincible until you get out of the park. So, I wonder why the devs even bothered to put the one rocket crate inside the park?
HugoLuman 2 years ago
Really? I didn't know that. I guess it's to play out some scripted events eh. The rocket crate is there to give you the feeling that you actually stand a chance I guess. Gives you something to shoot at them at least. And don't forgot, little things like that can change a lot in how the player perceives something.

An hour?! Hahaha. It really isn't as hard as it looks at first. It was the same for me.
matsol 2 years ago
Yea... we've all been owned by the blue lazer at least once. I see you're no exception. Lol. . . isn't the op lazer that striders have just swell?
UnemotionalPsycho 2 years ago 2
It's an awesome weapon that's for sure. Too bad it's on their side. Wouldn't mind using one of those myself. Heh, maybe an idea for the Episode 3.

They are like cyborgs. Partially robotics. Unless you meant something else.

I had read somewhere that these Striders were an apparent homage to the novel, War of the Worlds

Indeed. Pretty cool if you think about it. Must've been fun times thinking up characters and enemies for the game.

Something weird happened to me in this level, I managed to kill all 4 striders, and afterwards, I began to explore the rest of the level to see if there was any ammo or health to pick up, and for some reason, a 5th and 6th strider appreared. I managed to kill those two as well and needless to say I didn't stick around too much longer. I guess the game has features like this to keep you from staying in an area too long. Anything like this ever happen to you?
