Yes, it's been discussed. The models have the eyes clearly outside the mouth, but their viewpoint is apparently from their tonsils somehwere.
Strange? Yes.
Cool? Fairly.
Is it going to change? Nope.

Yes, this is done for a few reasons. One, there's a slight balancing feature, with your view being blocked with each bite. Two, it's a better way to display a "bite" weapon (in my humble opinion). The other option would be to have a snout at the bottom of your screen, and how fun is that?

Who says those outside eyes actually work? They could be there for defence against other enemies (besides marines. Maybe a fungus race of aliens? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>). While their real eyes are in their mouth.

Snout seems fine to me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> In fact having nothing visual and simply having the bite-sound effect created just the right atmosphere for my tastes ( pun intended).

Seems like they might die rather quicky of dehydration having to run around with their mouths open to see anything <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'> Not to mention the fact that if they had bad breath, that open mouth could be a give away to any prey with a keen sense of smell. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> *whispers* I have a suspicion that their brains are not where you would think them to be either ...

Are you bychance from SoAWorld forums?

How come when you look down in HL, or most FPS games, you don't see your legs? Are people some kind of floating meat bags or something? Fix this!

Yes, we've noticed. In fact, there was a thread some 20 pages long on whether the bite model should be changed or not, with this point getting thrown around a bit. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Yeah i just noticed that too...today I also noticed that marines have guns! Imagine that...who would have thought. I almost never noticed it before.

But then I found this bug in the game. I found out that like if your a skulk and you press 4 and try to bite that it like kills yourself. I tried it and i was like WTH I DIED WHAT A HORRIBLE BUG and then now im reporting this bug here. Anyone else seen this bug?!?!?1/11/

Heh That is one good point. Well in RTCW you could see the shadows of your feet as you walked, and in Operation Flashpoint you could see your legs. (But then again Flashpoint put the camera in the third person head. (Best way of doing it IMO and I'm sure it could be done for HL.....)

And the skulk bite thing??

I like it, it adds atmosphere. Remember Natural Selection <b>IS A GAME</b>

Its like saying Mario can jump to high, w3 n33d t0 nurf h1m!!!11!!oneone

-EDIT- Vash that isn't a bug it is the script preventor, it's meant to stop people switching weapons too fast! -EDIT-

Grkmanga · March 2003

i think they took out the leggs on purpose.. maybe it was because ppl kept shooting there leggs off.. anyways.. whats so important that u have to see ur leggs for?? oo yes.. ive seen that terrible bug to.. apparently it only kills u if u have 3 hives.. i think its called xenocide bug?? something like that.. o and did u know if u use it around marines u have a chance of killing them to?? but still =P it must be pretty kewl to have eyes in ur mouth =P must be easier to see ur food while ur eating it..

Discussed over and over and over again.
