Ever since I saw Hunters they reminded me alot of Houndeye's, so my theory is that the Combine actually did use the Houndeyes for something.
I do miss Bullsquids and Gargs though. I hope they have a Garg in Ep3 at least. That would make me happy...
I can barely think af anything more awesome than a garg beating up advisors.

For some reason I would wanna scream "Lift that bitch" to the advisor.
I'm really looking forward to Black Mesa: Source, because I can't wait to fight bullsquids, houndeyes, hell even Vortigaunts.
I'm sad they didn't add them. I heard the Combine made some kind of hunts to eliminate bullsquids and other wild Xen creatures.
Because
Pulse rifle > alien 47
Um, wait.
[QUOTE=Smashmaster;15621416]They were from wherever the Vortigaunts were from, which was probably from Xen.
I think I'm totally done with antlions in the series. They've been in both episodes AND the original game.
I swear if there are antlions in the arctic and at the Borealis I will bust a nut.[/QUOTE]
The Vorts were not from Xen, the Vorts and the Nailaith were running from the Combine and hid in Xen to get away from them. Then the ressianance cascade alerted the Combine to our presence and Xen.
They were gonna have Bullsquids in the wasteland part of the game, but when the wasteland was removed, so were the squids. I don't know why they didn't just put them in the canals.
The Bullsquid lives in the canals it is just that we do not see one. More than likely civil protection units dispose of them.
I hoped they would use the synths that I briefly saw in the citadel, but they didn't :(. Hell I'm sure that they were the bulk of the Combine invasion force.

They were probably saving them for something really bad like the citadel explo- OH WAIT
THERE IS NO BULLSQUID. :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=IceCKryss;15597908]I wonder how HL2 would be like if they included the cut Mr. Friendly alien from HL.[/QUOTE]
It'd be rated Adults Only.

And banned in Japan thanks to the new law on tentacle rape games.
I think it's implied that the aliens are still there.
When you're driving to the inn in Episode Two, you'll see a dead body at the gas station. If you stop and go up to it, Alyx will walk up and say, "This may've been the work of hunters, but it's hard to say...there are so many ways to die out here."
Not to mention there's the ichthyosaur at the beginning of Half-Life 2, antlions, and various other references in characters' dialogue.
I think I'll sort this thread out with a proper explanation.
Post black-mesa the remaining lambda team failed to activate the backup plan and enable the portal closing satellite.
Portal storms ensued, bringing aliens across from xen globally. The military fought off these aliens but were pushed back over time, civilians flocked to urban centers causing overcrowding, etc. The Military attempt to protect these cities.
The combine having noticed the recent portal activity and lack of nilhanth (A combine servant as far as I can tell from canon) invaded xen, then invaded earth. The war took only 9 hours.
As far as canon goes; Bullsquids, all the HL1 Aliens still exist.
It is just we do not see them.
I want more big aliens/creatures
many people forget the gunships and striders when these topics come up they are clearly from the same planet
must be a very
very creepy planet

Dropships and Gunships, probably. Shield Scanners and Striders, Probably. Gunships and Striders, Possible, but no way to really tell.
Funny how some people think Xen is a planet.
Forget Xen What about Race X?
[QUOTE=Loch;15589958]combines weren't from xen bro
but i do agree that hl2 needed a larger focus on aliens, fuck combine got a bit repetitive after a while[/QUOTE]
ep.2 focuses on vortigaunts witch apparently are residents of xen.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;15753902]Forget Xen What about Race X?[/QUOTE]
Race X is not official.

[QUOTE=Talishmar;15765985]Race X is not official.[/QUOTE]
Race X is canon. It was defeated by closing the Race X portal.
[QUOTE=ViralHatred;15806025]Race X is canon. It was defeated by closing the Race X portal.[/QUOTE]
It's not official until VALVe says it is.
Is Race X like everything in Opposing Forces?
VALVE ASKED THEM TO DO BS and OF. They wanted to continue it but did not have the time. wiki is your freind my freinds
Hey the Bull Squid was good in the freezer room at Black Mesa, so maybe they are in the arctic?

Yeah I think I read that somewhere before. Maybe they did use Gargs. Maybe that's what the crabwalkers are modelled off? Would like to see a Garg vs Advisor fight in episode 3 or something. Or who knows, maybe it will happen in Black Mesa Source or Sven Coop 2.

They're all Synth. I believe Synth was a race that the combine over took. When they did, they combined Synth with combine technology to make the Striders, Gunships and Drop Ships. Chances are, before they were conquered by the combine, they were a lot more fleshy beings. Much in the same way the combine soldiers are human like (we at least know they have jaws with teeth), but they're permanently suited up, maybe making us think that some of their uniform is grafted onto their skin.
In the HL2 beta, it was going to be used, also the houndeye, but Anonymous Hacker fucked it all
[QUOTE=Zarfa;15625247]Thats an odd thing tough ... VALVe is just not happy couse they are selling us back what was in the beta in episodes ... Boralis was in the beta and here it comes back in EP 3 ..[/QUOTE]
That's why they are not happy; they planned to put stuff from the beta in a game later and now it isn't as much of a surprise.
