Combine Guard ?

[Walter]

Is it possible that we face these killing machines in ep2 ?

Would be cool to have that weapon they should've possesed.

 

[AKIRA]

they don't look combine-ish

 

[Rapstah]

Obviously a synth. Maybe these guys were the frontline of the Seven Hour War?

 

[Tagaziel]

The Combine Guards were intended as mini-boss creatures in the game, crafted from human children combined with highly resistant armour and weaponry. Examine the torso in the video.

Also, highly doubtful they'll be seen in Episode Two.

 

[$kelet0r]

it looks ridiculous so no
the original super soldier concept - now there is an excellent foe

 

[Walter]

I wouldn't underestimate them, $keletor. They are(would be) carrying a guard gun, which was shooting no worse than the strider beam.

 

[Asknoone]

You won't see it in Episode 2. What's more, I don't think it looks anything like what I'd expect from the Combine. Its cumbersome, not very practical, and like John said - ridiculous.

 

[Darkside55]

This is Dr. Breen's final form.

 

[Flynn(Snarkpit)]

lol

 

[Walter]

Hmm, it looks like a bad ass kicking killing machine to me. I think they'll add it to the game, perhaps as major troop support for the combine.

 

[Asuka]

Doesnt look like the combine at all. The style and models now are much better.

 

[XIII]

boring enemies.

 

[Rim-Fire]

Before HL2 came out I saw a pic of the Combine guard, I instantly hated it. I hope it doesn't return.

 

[highlander]

i think it looks cool

 

[Oppressor]

Ugly

 

[Tagaziel]

Oh, and it looks like a Strogg invention. Not what I'd expect from the Combine.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

Exactly.

 

[Walter]

Well, it has a human head, that's the only thing left in it that is "somewhat" organic. I agree, Highlander, it looks very cool, but perhaps not that much of an overwatch troop, rather a more heavy combine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2B2SyXAeTA - one more with it.

 

[highlander]

it looks very cool.but looks like something from Quake 4

 

[Walter]

hey ...what was developed first, hmm?

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

boring enemies.

Damn right, it looks crap.

 

[Walter]

I smell....a poll.

 

[213]

they look really stupid and not even like combine technology. more like some poorly crafted model from quake or doom or some other monster oriented lame fest.

 

[heer0]

Das Uber Soldat (like in Wolfenstein)...good thing they cut it out.
You know, what is the first thing that comes to my mind when i see a big mean killin' machine is? Small brains. Totaly unHL-ish!

 

[highlander]

Maybe they could re-model it, too make it look my combine-ish?

 

[el Chi]

Oh, and it looks like a Strogg invention. Not what I'd expect from the Combine.

That is exactly what I was thinking, and considering that the Strogg looked pretty crap, it's a Good Thing that they ditched this enemy and indeed any other enemies like it.

 

[heer0]

This reminds me of the Alien Grunt enemy in HL. For me, this was the most annoying type of enemy in the whole game - heavy, stupid, and causing not so much damage. I'm glad Valve cut it from HL2 out along with other HL enemies.

They just wouldn't die, you kept shooting secondary with your shotgun, and they didn't notice it.

 

[Tagaziel]

This is why I loved them, a true frontline trooper. Stupid, armoured and deadly.

 

[ríomhaire]

The revolver is your friend in HL1, I never would have made it through hard mode without it.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Not combine-ish enough, maybe a random xen creature, but there's no reason for them to be here unless more portal storms happen or something.

 

[Reginald]

You can see the same head on the concept for the Synth sniper. Which is actually a design I liked compared to this.

 

[kupocake]

thumbs down

 

[Gordon-Shepherd]

I liked it. it was cool. while I lvoe the combine and pretty much all the enemies in h2 there isnt much variety in things to kill. well, not AS much variety as in HL1. that's why I'd like to see more enemies.

 

[CyberPitz]

I don't like the looks of it....I vote no.

 

[Mahalis]

Doesn't fit with the Synth or the Overwatch. I no like.

 

[357]

He looks mecha-ugly...

 

[Mechagodzilla]

It looks like dog if dog were a mediocre synth.

The robot camera head is cool though; probably the best part.

 

[Narvi]

It's rather pointless now anyway. We have Hunters to fill the big agile baddie-bot role. The Hunter looks cooler, too.

 

[huntingbear]

this looks so much like a Quake 2 enemy animation.
