Aliens!

Why is there only land and air base life forms, and not underwater lifeforms?

Would there be a problem with aliens being underwater?

    ehhh... there isn't too much water on most of the official maps, it would restrict their movement to several very small areas. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It's mostly a matter that there isn't water in most maps...

    see kharaa in water
    aim at kharaa in water
    shoot kharaa in water
    then enter in water

    in that order FTW

    Another thing is that marines would'nt have a chance on water levels, as they can only use their knife underwater

    see kharaa in water
    point at kharaa in water
    laugh and say "you can't catch me!"
    walk away and ignore kharaa in water

    yeah, then marines must research underwater-weapons :o

    its maybe something to consider for the future, with ns:s and ns2. since water just looks plain sexy on the source engine, maybe it could be used more

    They should make some new maps with more water and get some new wepons so marines have a chance.

    All the maps are similar because they havent introduced new and more exsiting elements in to them.

    that's like saying, the next company to sell a chess game should include a new kind of piece, all the other chess games are similar because they havent introduced new and more exsiting elements in to them. (yeah i copied half a line)

    because water in hl1 is rubbish.. it looks naff, is annoying moving in it (ie slow as marine)

    and as stated, little/no water on maps

    Well I guess an alien who moves faster in water could be implemented, but not a 'fish' alien.

    ee no make a new class who is good in water but can still be on land.Sorta like a fish that can move by mm what do ya call that movement..well like if you catch a fish it will become crazy and try to get away by moving right and left quickly.Or make that the lifeform can move only by others pushing him from 1 water source to an other so if the "pusher" is killed the fish guy will become stranded and marines can cook em and gain lots and lots of medpacs from inside of him.o yeh fish powers should be:
    spit-marines would slip and be uncounsios for 30sec if not waken up by teammates,loud noices or smthing that sort.
    devour-logical...fish should get to devour marines who would jump in waters.
    fish scream-fish could scream underwater,so mariens swimming would get afraid <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> (veery atmospheric and scaary sound).
    fishlers-babblers underwater,everyone loves them and marines could come and watch em swim in water,good place for other lifeforms to set traps for marines.

    and i also think marines should get harpoon guns,scubadiving things,rafts so they can get across safely,somekinda subs to hunt underwater lifeforms(yeey vechiles in ns),swimsuits 2 so commanders must research these and these would make marines better swimmers,marines would also get upgrades like longer breath holding, mm new swimming technices.oh yeh marines should be abel to freeze the water so aliens would die horribly who are inside.

    It'd be cool to have like, a planet map, in a swamp, with a crash landed marine ship or something.... Then you could implement stuff like this. But it'd require a revamp of the whole nanogrid system backstory etc...

    Either way, it's an idea for a far future version. Think about it. The TSA were formed to clear out infested stations/ships to save the companies the money of having to scuttle them and build new ones. There's never going to be a huge underwater lair on a spaceship.

    i love this guy. he just signed up and is already making locked threads and ideas about underwater aliens. "why doesn't cs have flying enemies? they should introduce more new and exciting elements to the maps, dont you agree guyz?."

    haha, this guy is precious.
