[Suggestion] Antlion Mod for Zombie Servers

[Hybridx24]

I've been playing CS:S for about 5 years now, and what I've realized is that the zombie maps and skins are getting a little boring. About 3-4 years ago, I played on a zombie server by "Valhalla" which was pretty much amazing; it was always full, but closed down because the admins couldn't afford to host it. It was basically 5 different maps, but with a skin for zombies called "Antlions" (which is apparently a creature from Half-Life 2). I don't know what it was about the skin, but for some reason it made the game look so much more interesting. The most amazing combo seemed to be the Antlions on zombie_spacestationflee_b5 (the one with turrets), but it also worked on zm_starshiptroopers, and zm_boatescape.

I know me saying this won't automatically get anything done, but I hope you'll at least take this skin (and map) into consideration.

The reason I decided to make a thread about this is because I just found a video that made me miss it, and I think a new skin and some new maps would be refreshing.

It's not a mod, its just a zomibe skin.

Yeah got it mixed up with the general zombie mod. Fixed it in the post.

It's pretty cool... looks like quite a bit of downloading though. I wonder how big the files would be.

I would be for this, it looks like it would be more intense then it is now. But then again, I'm alright with the way ZE is now.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I would have to say no because those look like a fps kill and being so huge it would block the sight of people.

@Supahuman: There are quite a bit of files, but if I recall correctly I never regretted those 2 minutes of my life I lost.

@Power: There are Antlions (small) and Antlion Guards (huge). And I remember there being no problem with sight when noblock was on (like it is now on the ZM server).

But the main point is that it is way more intense than it is now. Zombies just look misplaced in the space maps (and others) you have right now. Would it be possible to have these skins only for certain maps?

I have to say no, shooting headshots and generally shooting would be more diffcult for me atleast. Maybe some more new humanoid looking zombies?

[Hybridx24]

Lol I feel like so many people are resisting change in general.

Shooting them, if anything, is easier. Their heads are proportionate to their bodies, so it would essentially be shooting a bigger target. In a small map like Space Station, it makes the level more balanced and exciting.

Just imaging a wave of antlions coming at the humans. It looks cool, its exciting, but at the same time you have a chance to hold them off because they're not twigs like the zombies we have to deal with now.

nahh i think most of the people like to stick with the normal zombags but this is a good idea though....

I played in that server, what was it....3 years ago? I don't remember there being any fps or blocking issues. Only problem with it is the head shots...or lack there of. But shit, that server was fun, especially on the old starship troopers map.
