<div class="IPBDescription">HL2</div> I'm sure many of you have seen the E3 preview of the new snark weapon as i call it. The little round orbs you throw by a hole or broken window to bring in the love mind slaves that serve you until you meet the big ones that try and beat you with a ugly stick. Its preatty cool one throw and like 10 aliens pop outa of hole a gore you enemys while you sit back, point and laugh. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Those are Pheromone Nades. We've all seen it in the HL2 Movie. ~_^ Still awesome though, I'm going to kill my minions once I have no use for them.

    Probably won't have YOU in multiplayer.

    Come on, the first 6 months of the HL2 mod scene will just be people screwing around with multiplayer, adding things such as these pheremone grenades.

    Best HL2 Weapon List, in Order of what I saw:

    Grav Gun
    Pheremone Balls(official name)
    Rocket Launcher(with the upgraded "Search out enemy" feature, who knows how good this could get)
    Frag Grenades(imagine all the different things that'll happen in the physics engine when you chuck one of these- and remember, the game even can model dust spots floating through the air)
    Crowbar(Its great- just seemed not as cool as the others)
    The New MP7-Like-Gun-thingy
    The Buggy(it has to be constituted as a weapon- its got the thing on the front, and I think we all saw what it did to that combine soldier...)

    And lastly- I just wanna say that if they released just the mod tools for this thing, I'd pay $100 for it- just because, well, I have tons of fun in UT2k3 with ragdoll, just imagine.

    Are you kidding I would give an arm and a leg for mod tools, i would like to recreate a better looking Nade Penguin from that MM map in OF.

    Love that thing first time i saw couldn't stop laughing. The granade was straped to its back as it chased you around, tell BOMB!!! <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yesh. And someone probably will add them into MP, if they aren't in already.

    Relating to the topic heading again, I wonder if there will be snarks in HL-2?

    I wouldn't think so. But if they did, with enhanced AI and [I wish]the ability to climb walls, that'd be awefully deadly.

    somebody should do that with regular HL, mod it to give snarks a wallwalking ability, but I doubt the AI would take that into account and would need updating

    There is also a physics gun (phygun, I believe, it doesn't appear to have a model), which seems to handle the objects much better than the Manipulator, which I would have to add the Quaunaut's list.

    I remember reading a short interview with one of the VALVe people(probably Gabe Newell). It said that during playtesting people often reacted differently then expected. One of the reactions they didn't expect was for people to simply mangle enemies by running over them with the car <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    Yes, but it is more than likely a dev weapon (probably gotten by cheats only).
