Look! It's a Combine soldier!

 

[WhiteZero]

Looks nothing like the Combine...
-.-

 

[Pressure]

Although the mask somewhat resembles that of a combine, but not entirely, I don't think their the same.

 

[Bakurei]

Im going to poke you now...





*poke*

 

[dawdler]

That's not a combine.

Combine units are smarter than that, they hide behind objects, carry weapon (duh!) and try to kill you.

They dont think they can fly by flapping their arms.

 

[Sid Burn]

Hmm... they look somewhat similar... but still, the combine soldiers are much cooler looking than them.

Yeah, but can combine soldiers turn invisable, like these guys ???

 

[Asknoone]

looks hardly anything like a combine soldier, perhaps his face has the faintest resemblance but that is it.

Honestly, alot of games have gasmask wearing enemies nowa'days, its like a trend.

 

[destrukt]

wow ..

 

[<RJMC>]

that looks like a robotic ninja whit a gasmask not like a combine

 

[Onager]

It looks great F.E.A.R have the best graphics I've ever seen.

 

[Exclamatio]

unlucky lord!

 

[Asuka]

OMG LOOK A Gasmask its a combine.... :/

 

[Prince of China]

Look, they think they can fly! The are the combi...err...nevermind.

 

[vsaravia]

Heh, the combine are chunkier...hmm, is chunkier a word...runs to dictionary...um, yup, it is. :E

 

[Prince of China]

What do you by "chunkier"?
Do they look chunky or is it their physique?
Or both?

 

[vsaravia]

Their physique looks chunky...if that makes sense.

 

[redundant]

That guy has goggles.

Therefore, that guy = combine.

 

[Alig]

Did you know time...

Did you know that HL2 didn't invent the gasmask-soldier?

Did you know that HL2 copied the things from starship troopers?

 

[MigaS_tX]

Did you know that HL2 copied the things from starship troopers?

Seriously, maybe the antilons and the uniform look the same... but copied?? Lolzeryloly!

 

[Alig]

Seriously, maybe the antilons and the uniform look the same... but copied?? Lolzeryloly!

What is that short for?

I know they was'nt copied and i also know that the soldiers in FEAR was'nt inspired by something HL2 used thats been used a million times before HL2 was even on paper.

 

[oberGeist]

no, they don't look like the Combine to me.
more like plastic toy soldiers or G.I.-Joe action figures

and about the gas mask - it's a very popular way to make the character look sinister and fearsome. the mask resembles human skull (at least this type of g-mask), and as such is recognized by our brain as something closely related to death, fear and all things bad. besides you can not see his eyes - and that makes the encounter even more psychically disturbing. HL2 did not invent enemies in gas masks, it is popular in the genre - remember flamethrower soldiers in wolfenstein?

btw - F.E.A.R. looks amazing, but I'm afraid that the story will be rather weak

 

[MigaS_tX]

What is that short for?

I liked it! I'm going yo use forever now!

 

[Kommie]

I dont think combine blood spews out in such volume when they are shot in the knee
