are the VORTIGAUNT now changed and more annoying?

[Caine]

man i cannot remember those being so DODGY? i need to learn their tactics more but i wanted to hit them with my bow and failed as they dodged again and again :D feeling stupid

[Major_Tinz]

They dodge very well now, making them hard to hit when they spawn. I tend to wait for them to settle before I pick them off.

I approve of this change very much.

Could use more HL-style look (and sound! I really hate how HL2 vortigaunts sound) and somewhat toned down eye glow.

[Overlord]

It's an unnecessary change, it just made them more annoying to deal with, like headcrabs.

The eye glow is actually there for a story reason.


Vortigaunts with such a glow get directly controlled by Nihilanth.

If you are in Xen, you will meet Vortigaunt slaves without such a glow, as these will rather get controlled by Controllers as soon as they show up.

Well they're not dumb anymore after the update.

It doesn't need to be a massive red searchlight, though.

I think there is a mod that tones it down, but I am not sure how stable it will be.


In addition:
Ok, I cannot find it, but you are not the first person critizizing that, so I thought someone whould have wrote something to tone that down. :(

[Caine]

ok then i remembered correctly. i think the ASSASSINS however got adjusted and better toned down.

[AtomHeartDragon]

I hope someone de-nerfs tau and revamps Interloper then. I'm probably not the first person complaining about those either.

I've found a statement about the eyes:

Pretty old though.

Maybe someone will make a mod to tone down the glow?
We will see...

I much prefer these Vorts to the original Half Life Vorts on hard difficulties. The OG Vorts were straight-up aimbotters and never missed unless you hid behind something. Now you can actually dodge them just as much as they can dodge you. Plus they have a habit of standing still immediately after dodging, just bait a dodge and then shoot.
