But you took down striders in the first game, and (if my memory serves) during Ep1, it was just another strider, I didn't think 'My what a big baddy, this must be the end of the game'
Well in HL2, you only faced 2 striders in the whole game, and both times you had a rocket launcher the whole time. In Episode 1, on don't get a rocket launcher until the very end, and so you have to run and hide while avoiding all the overwatch bastards.

Hmm, well it must be that I'm super hard and completely without fear that this situation failed to have a large impact upon me. ;)

I hope so... if the combine capture D0G they've got themselves a gravity gun to play with... that'd be bad news.

tis, but given we've not seen another and the weapon strippers are untested with it, I suspect it's a one-off.

either that, or like all things, a previously used thing that went very wrong. as such one was saved and fixed.
