using the word lolcat instead of caturday makes all the (insert number here)chans angry as hell.
especially 7chan's /invasion/ board. Do not provoke them.
oh no doubt that even vorties can get swarmed and crabbed, only saying that it proably doesn't happen enough to have warrented a reoccuring enemy.
perhaps if the combine shell a vortie village?
get out of the fallout fan mindset for a few seconds and think from a developer's standpoint.
it doesn't matter if most of it was written by interplay, legally its bethsdesa's now and they are making use of it. Releasing it severely limits their future possible options as it would give away...
i mean there wasn't a large enough concentration of vorties in the game to justify putting zombiegaunts in.
Vorties are spread out and relatively uncommon compared to humans or combine. Going by the number seen, you might have run into 1 or 2 in the whole game but since they wouldn't be...
hl2 dm slow?
I don't want to know what you consider fast.
sprint crouch juimping around corners at high speed, firing the shotgun while you ramp an incline, jumping over a railing while firing you magnum into someone's face before you hit the ground, grav gunning nades in full sprint...
coordinates
you are sending matter into another universe, you'd think they can choose the destination. Why send matter to point a and have it transported locally to point b when you can just send matter to both of the places in 1 go. Or at the minimum, send point a's stuff back to combine...
the combine don't need space travel, space travel is hard work and takes a lot of time. However there are essentially all sorts of dimensions ripe for the picking.

a different emo song
and yeah, emos are t3h suck. I had a roomate/friend who was emo in denial. "dude you're emo..." "F*ck you, i'm not emo!" Until one day, "f*ck i'm emo!" He was obsessed with the 80s, listened to whiney emo bands, wore a vintage...
ehh, what? any company has the rights to keep their design docs private if they want to.
you can ask nicely, you can encourage them to publish it, but to imply you have some sort of right to them by starting a petition is rather rude.
don't laugh catfish can get pretty big
anyway yeah, some megladon or whaleshark sized xen creature would be pretty badass. Especially if you had to swim in its habitat or only had a little dingy to drive across its territory.
Having a xbox heug maw or mass of tentacles coming at you from...
its easier for the combine to simply jump dimensions than muck about in space.
Essentially "Why drive to the market for a carton of milk when i can steal it from the guy next door?"
as far as combine forces, i agree, a more fleshed out airforce would be nice. Everything we've seen so far...
I don't remember anything about the combine being neutered, just cybernetically enhanced. Which apparently doesn't count for much.
Anyway my empathy for them doesn't come from what was done to them, remember, the soldiers and metros are all volunteers. My empathy for them comes from the...
err...no, moving on
gargs, gargs, and did i forget to say gargs?
I'd like to see the hydra reworked back into the game, too much potential there. Also medic combine would be cool. It could make firefights last longer and be more interesting if the soldiers could double back to get...
sounds like a meritocracy in that case, and as long as you have to earn your rewards, i'm all for it.
as for abolishing religion, eeeh, i disagree. I'm not particularly religious by any stretch of the imagination mind you, but if you are gonna have free people you can't have thought police...
since i played doom 3 well before i played hl2, ravenholm just didn't seem all that scary to be honest, (i know doom 3 wasn't all that scary overall, but the beginning before you get loaded with weapons felt pretty scary to me the first time). Atmospheric and fun, yes, but not all that scary...
