Combine Guard ?

[chimpmunk]

There is a human inside that "suit", try to look closer (was apparent in the leak). they are an earlier model for combine soldiers (and look more quake II than half life II to me).

If anything, it looks too starcraft marine like, not the unnatural inhuman look of the combine.

Thats where one of D0Gs legs came from !

It doesn't have the Combine design, it just looks like big generic robot. Not some creature that was modified for practical use by the Combine.

Doesn't look like it would fit in HL2. Look at Raising the bar, that has some creature's that would fit such as: Alien Assasin, Combine Assasin, original Combine Elite, Hydra, Mr. Friendly, etc.

Isn't this guy in RTB?

 

[Asknoone]

no

There's a Green Synth Soldier with an orange domed head and skeletal legs IIRC (I don't bring RtB everywhere I go ). I'd say that concept is at least in the same ballpark as what was in the Beta (as an advanced Human soldier concept where the human seems to be integrated into some kind of machine, though it probably shares more in common with the white-shelled heavy looking Soldier Synth). Though I think it would be unfortunate to suppose that it evolved from that concept... because if that's 'evolution' in design, it's a pretty poor show

If anything... it's ok, but it reminds me too too much of a Marine from Star Craft

Just a little bit, but the Marines don't have their heads 'hidden' in the body while receiving audio/visual information through a robotic head - this is stupid.

I agree, it was a "pityful" excuse for a foe. I'm glad it never made it into the final version of Half-Life 2. Otherwise, Half-Life 2 might of gotten a lower score. A wise desision on Valve's part.

 

[kupocake]

Thinking about it, what this guy reminds me most of, at least in gameplay terms, is the Minigun Soldier that was cut from Half-Life 1. They should've learned their lesson the first time round

 

[Ophiguris]

Yeah, but some idiot got the idea "Hey, they didn't listen to me the first time, but now's my second chance, and now, I can make him sloppier, Slower, and more f-d up than ever before. It's Brilliant I tell you, BRILLIANT!"

"Who the hell are you talking to?"

"Oh, uh, I was just making this Half-Life 2 enemy..."

"Hey, I got an idea! Give him this dopey camera, that players can shoot off, and he WON'T DIE!"

"Aww, that's awesome, gimme some skin home boy!"

"Uhh, no."
