    They looked like skulks.. umm.. yeah.. that is what they were. :-)

    Although they did explode.. I am not sure if that was the same animation as xeno or not.

    They just appeared in front of the Gorge and yes, they used the exact same model as skulks, which was good for making marines crap themselves <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    hmm I thought they were using the skulk models, only making them smaller somehow.

    Ahhhh skulks, how nostalgic. Terribly fun to use on lone marines, but the AI was really bad. They also had the stupid bug where if you don't aim them properly into the air, or a bit aobve the ground they would sink into the grounds. You could cast 4 babblers using one full adren bar, one shot would kill them so they weren't terribly reliable. After a few seconds they would explode, their bites did 20. *sigh* It would be worth it if they would fix it.

    They used the snark AI from Half-life SP I think, that should give you some idea of how dumb they were.

    babblers were very fun, coupled with webs they were winnar


    but they did run into wall, attack the gorge who spawned them and a whole bunch of stuff, but they were cool


    gorge rush + adren + babblers == fun
  • raz0rraz0r Join Date: 2003-07-24 Member: 18395Members
    fun, but with lag issues.

    if they could fix the lag, then i'm all for bringing them back

    and by all for, we're talking revolution type stuff here
