Just gonna say I really don't like the inclusion of this houndeye in black mesa because he's practically a normal houndeye and acts like a normal houndeye, the only thing different is the design

that it's really not unique apart from the design, he is just the same as a normal houndeye in behavior and combat

That's like saying the different looks of HECU enemies aren't necessary, you just need only one look and give them all the weapons. Visual variety is not a bad thing.

well look, this was suppoed to be a different variation of the houndeye right, but instead of doing anything different to the variation, they just give him the same mechanics and it's just kinda boring since it has a cool design

Well, all the scientists of HL1 and citizens/rebels of HL2 all do the same things, right? Better just not have any different models and just have a single one. Yeah, it is a cool design, but having different designs does not mean you absolutely have to build new mechanics into it. Again, visual variety is not a bad thing. You may find it boring and that's totally fine, but that's hardly an argument for removing it entirely.
