combine look low tech

The combine forces you fight in HL2/Episodes is like a tiny, tiny fraction of their full force. When they invaded, they probably used some of their real scary shit because earth got it’s ass kicked in only a few hours. You start HL2 like 15-20 years after these events so all thats left now is a few transhuman soldiers and some synths to keep an eye on things.

Thats why you were trying to close the portal in EP2. If it re-opened, the combine would be back and probably packing some of their real toys. Gordon wouldn’t have stood a chance.

  1. Tough you have seen them in the way they are in ww1 movies, they still seem be looking the same way, even tough the year is 2010 nowadays. who knows how much they actualy change outfit in the future.
  2. Fast and tactical way of transportation.
  3. C4… Well… It really is deadly.
  4. Maby the weapons have also been developed.
  5. hard.

My idea would be that Gman helps you through the game, thus making everything weaker than what it really is. Hell, why do you think that the Rebels can’t kill a single Combine for shit on their own?

There is no other way he could have escaped from all of those aliens in HL1, all but destroyed the Combine in HL2, and then utterly destroy the Combine through HL2:Ep1 and HL2:Ep2!

In my experience the rebels easily obliterate the combine unless they throw a grenade and they forget to run away. But that’s just gameplay, in HL1 the guards would normally take down a marine over long range because of their much better accuracy, they were dead at short range though.

I have never threw an object to a hunter, I preffear to kill it with my bare hands (crowbar ingame) or with a low-powered gun and show that 3 legs maggot who is tha boss here

#149

that’s fine and all, but the point is that just because you choose not to use effective tactics doesn’t make the AI any harder.

#150

True but it isn’t really stupid in hard mode is it? if a hunter in easy mode is a bit difficult to kill (not much for pros :smiley: ) imagine it on hard mode, on hard mode they are a lot smarter and they ussually find a good cover, they also have more ressistance to bullets so they aren’t stupid and easy to kill.

#151

Not to impress you… but I am the Batman…

#152

I suppose you killed around 10-20 a day, along with the rest of you city folks?

#153

The AR3 was a real gun in the hl2 beta though.

#154

to be trully I only killed 4 with crowbar and I tried it 15 times so 15 -4 = 11 fails :stuck_out_tongue:

No it wasn’t. There was an AR1, but no AR3.
