    yeah it's mostly choreographed scenes with some scripted sequences. You could learn this, but you better be prepared to burn away a lot of hours of your life on it. I try to compare myself to people who play world of warcraft so then I feel productive.

    VittlesIX: I'm acting under the assumption that metrocops are human, I'll cover the Combine soldiers in later episodes. Plus that diagram you're talking about is just an art piece. You really think an advanced alien civilization would have gears running in their heads?
    Wooboo: That's the general consensus, though I plan to elaborate on it more in future episodes.

      ​@tables8709 they're pretty similar to the servitors you see at Nova Prospekt. The Combine repurpose all the people they kidnap into being a cybernetic slave workforce. Living tissue controlled by software programming presumably.
      I think they preserve more of the Metro Police people's brains than the servitors though, since they're capable of talking and laughing at stuff.

      Recently in the half life lore, I think it was revealed that the combine basically bombed Earth while Humans were fighting the Xen lifeforms which might explain how they did it in such as sort span of time, it wasnt that they sent everything they had to overwhelm Earth’s forces, they took advantage of the situation, which puts into question whether the combine are technologically superior to beat a entire planet (Without xen lifeforms invading) or simply tactically brutal using tech that may be slightly more advanced than Earth’s

Not to mention, the Rebels have finally developed a reliable local teleport technology, something that Judith Mossman herself says the Combine still haven't mastered.

    Hmm.. mulling it over, with how tightly the Combine monitor shit in City 17, Overwatch probably _did_ deploy that Strider in response to Mike blasting the side of a building. The AI probably thought a riot was going on or there was an active shooter or something, so it sent in a Strider to suppress the threat and buy time for some CPs to get there and clean up whatever was left.

    They forgot that the combine only assimilated many humans into the Overwatch. The Combine aren't humanoid. Their assimilated soldiers are. They where just given synth support units leftover from the invasion. The rebels have developed countermeasures against these using a combination of their own tech and combine tech.

    Technically it's a synth, which amounts to a mechanized organism. It is kinda part robot, but people watching who don't know the game don't have to know any of that.

    As experience with stories like Star Wars: TIE Fighter (video game and fanmade short film both) and the Entropy: Zero mod duology, let's face it, these two dorks are too precious to deserve defecting for the otherwise benevolent and surprisingly cool Lambda Resistance.
    1:21: Umm, guys...
    1:47: Them being somewhat multispecies doesn't help matters. Am sure their home base is a ginormous Dyson sphere, however. Would be worth destroying with the help of a chronoship enhanced by Vort energies.
    2:26: More cows kill humans than scary rollercoasters and sharks on average. Think of that what you will.
    Dave the troll would have made a fine Combine Sniper Ops guy. Alas, heard those peeps are just a rumor.
    Even to the CPs, the Striders are fearmongering mofos. Strange to use on GMod though.
    Surprisingly appropriate use of the Fallout map exploration theme there.
    5:00: Great taste in movies though. Hope the UU didn't ban those after taking over.
    So, what about Bah Weep Graaaaagnah Weep Ni Ni Bong?

    They're used a lot like Humans use tanks in combat today. They aren't manned though. Like Combine Soldiers, Striders are cyborgs made from a conquered species. Basically some animal that looked like a Strider was taken and turned into this giant walking tank that fights for the Combine. It has it's own brain inside that armored shell.

    @Rados130 They've presumably seen them before and know they're part of the Combine's army, but they don't know that it isn't going to harm them. After all, the Combine uses headcrabs as a weapon, but that doesn't mean the little buggers aren't a danger to human Combine troops.

    The grate on the top is most likely an access port for preforming maintenance, or possible even surgical procedures on the biological components of the strider. The combine are not so much a race as they are an amalgam of different races, united by one conquering force, and augmented cyberneticly and most likely geneticly by the same conquering force/previously conquered races.
