ok so i know the combine came from a different world and all. but i had a few thoughts while playing the game.
The first thing i noticed was that the combine look like humans, bipedal, stand upright, same bodily feature ratios etc. they look like humans in a suit, i mean barny fits into a combine suit so humans can thats a fact. But they have masks on which look like a gas mask, since they have the little canister things hanging off, wheater this is because they cant breath our air or incase of biological attack or something i dont know. still nothing tells me either way alien or human.
next thing, in the train station, on of the people waiting in line for food says "I'm thinking about joining civil protection just to get a decent meal" so that means that humans are infact able to join the CP and that behind the masks atleast some are humans.
now also i noticed, mainlly on sand traps in the bunkers but also throughout the game, that the combines radios and the lady that announces stuff is in english/human. While in the bunker i heard a combine on the radio say "lets see if we can get them back online" i assume they meant the thumpers for the ant lions, plus they said some other stuff i cant remember. now this could also be because some of the combine may be human. still doesn't prove that they aren't aliens, or atleast some of them.
In the prison, DR. Breen refers to the combine soilders and/or the CP as "trans-human forces". Also you see an alien looking thing, that you later see in the citadel, on a monitor and on the next screen you see a human male on a table. In the citadel you see these weird looking people again, only the are being moved around in the movers and the ones that are walking around look like they are being guarded by soliders. and while chasing breen to the reactor you see him talking to the alien thing, looks like a giant larva to me, and he mentions getting a "host" body.
now make take on this is, i know the combine are trying to "evolve" us. I think that after the 7 hour war, which i assume is right after black mesa during the portal storm, earth was taken over and humans were "mind controled" or altered some how to serve the combine and garrison earth. I also thing that these slave looking things in the citadel are infact humans that have been changed and that the combine soliders or atleast the CP are humans in control/support of the combine. I believe that infact every combine you fight in the game is really a human. and the only aliens are the head crabs and ant lions.
any thoughts? this is just my take and i could be way off, and i might have missed something, i hear there is a secret vort cave near black mesa east, so i dont know if answers lie there at all.
