      actually combine work as the civil protection are just people who follow the combine and follow there orders they aren't messed with in any way shape or form, soldiers and elites however are modified to not feel any emotions whatsoever and only know to follow orders, the worst part is same goes for the synths (striders, hunters, gunships etc) they are altered with modification to be deadly war machines but they used to be alien species but they were claimed by the combine. And that is some HL2 trivia for you.

      Not really, most of their occupance are loyal members to the Combine due to their trust in hospitality by giving them the goods. they still have a dispatcher with them, even in the uprising. so their still following orders. either protecting the corners of the city or leaving the city, but still remaining inside the Combines arms.

    I like how instead of running he takes up his role as a guardian for the two, likely accepting a manhunt and possibly death as a consequence. Hence, "Protector".
    Some things are worth dying for to protect, one of which is your humanity.

    • @Zackarco
      @Zackarco 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because the Combine don't want the chance of humanity growing back up to strength. When the Combine subjugated Humanity after the 7-Hour War they installed a 'Suppression Field' preventing humanity from having children. The Combine execute any couples they find as a way to scare humanity from ever having bonds of relationship and they do this to eliminate any shred of hope that one day Humanity will one day be free.

      Lone_Combine They're people who have submitted to the Combine. A lot of them are just assholes since being a CP gives you a better life. Though, the higher rank you are the less of a human you become. The lower the rank you are the more sanity you still have.

      to be honest in half life 2 lore the rebels get turned into stalkers but i dont think there is any traitor torture since no one dares to disobey once you in you cant get out but if some one betrays the combine i consider that they will get shot on sigh or get turned into stalkers as alyx commented in ep 1 about the wrong place wrong time or resisting

      I don't think it's wrong for the CP to go rouge, because CPs aren't brainwashed, they're basically regular humans that decided to join the Combine Occupation Force, the ones that are brainwashed are the Overwatch Soldiers, and the Elites. And if they don't succeed in the Combine Surgery to become an Overwatch Unit, they just turn into mindless stalkers to do their work in citadels and other combine essentials structure.

    I wish you could see more of this kind of thing in half life. Also I wish their were missions where u could play as combine and resistance fighters. I feel like the combine are portrayed as kind of weak, when in reality they should be really scary with all their advancements and tactical upgrades, their basically all superhuman veterans, not to mention the deep dark vocoder they have that makes their voices sound hostile and ambiguous. There should of been missions where u play as resistance and your team just gets decimated by the combine and their synths, when all of the sudden freeman and another team of resistance comes to the rescue. It would have also been fun doing room clearing like this as a CP officer, only to have a sudden surge of conscious and morality like in this story. In short, awesome story dude, I really hope someone makes a game like this sometime
