Combine Assassin

[SpotEnemyBoats]

But in Half-Life 2 The regular Combine & even the Elite's were dumb & slow, the A.I did'nt strike me as superbly brilliant. A combine assasin would be cool, There would be some cool tactic's, A.I, & animations.


They would be actually "ELITE". IMO The Combine elite were not very elite. The only difference in the combine overwatch & the combine elite is that the Combine elite have sharp looking uniforms, outfits & use the Pulse rifle w/ Orb launcher standard rifle combo & fragmentation grenades. While the basic overwatch have either a choice of MP7 SMG, Pulse rifle w/ Orb launcher, SPAS 12 Shot gun..along with Grenades.


the Combine assasin would have to be quick. I liked it when Smod made the Combine elite lighting fast.

Which is why the Assassin would suck. If you played HL1 then you know that the assassins were a BITCH to kill. They were too ****ing fast. If Valve were to make them like that, it would just suck.

Also, that's awesome Remus!

I think the Assasins in HL1 were the most fun enemies to fight. It was the only part of the game that was really challenging.

Dumb and slow? No they weren't. The AI is ALOT smarter than what people give it credit for, it just didn't have chance really shine in HL2, or Episode 1 for that matter.

And they packed a bit more punch compared to the regular Combine soldiers.

I've heard that argument before, and it's ridiculous. If the AI is top-notch, but Valve didn't design the game to take advantage of it, then the AI might as well be dumb and slow. It's no good saying 'it could have been seen to be better if it had a chance', if it didn't have a chance, because the end result is the same as if the AI was crap, as some people think.

I loved the female assassins in HL1

Agreed, quite frankly one of my favorite enemies found in the original game mainly because they were one of the more challenging enemies. But of course, as with almost all of the enemies in the game, they had a weak point.

Samon sucks.

Those assassin's were ****ing annoying. :<

Samon sucks.

The enemy concept and AI are good, i'm sure Samon would agree. And whilst the Combine Assassin design is good, the problem is the design valve had around. Like I said earlier, the problem is that the Assassin is so overtly female. That just doesn't fit the Combine visual style at all. Physical sex is one of the first things they set about eliminating.

Pretty much. And whilst the assassins were essentially pretty cool to fight...I just didn't have much fun with it, mainly because you could just hide behind a few crates and pop them off as they went - their animations were actually pretty stiff.

And yeah, because she is, as Kupo said, overtly female. Something a little more ambiguous would work.

I love to kill things that are a "BITCH" to kill, But only 3 swings with my beloved crowbar & they were dead , I love the challenge.

Samon ya stole me sig D:

To Remus:

I really like your work! Where/when will you post some more?

 

[Remus]

Well XYC2006 you could've sent me a private message . If you liked my images then visit my personal gallery, first link in my sig. I'll post another artwork here when I make another HL related one. Suggestions? Gargantua, Strider, Ichty, prowler maybe...

 

[XYC2006]

Cool gallery! I especially like the surrealist ones...
How about some Synths or I.A.Latham?

 

[Remus]

Glad you liked it. I'll definitely think about making a 3d version of a sinth . Just one thing though... who is I.A. Latham?

 

[XYC2006]

I.A.Latham can be found on page 108 in the book Raising the Bar...
I saw in your gallery that you use Art Rage. I just installed it and have been playing with it for a couple of hours - pretty cool program!
Have you ever tried using Photoshop for artworks?
