I found something cool in the GCF [ENDING SPOILERS]

It isn't that, he wouldn't be talking to a robotic bee with claws, I thought it was more of a Combine type figure.
 
from what i could see, it looked like he was talking to a giant mealworm.
 
yes,it is the "Combine Advisor"..and it is essentially a huge grub/maggot with mechanical arms..
 
...

it is effectivly the Combine itself. This is what THEY look like. The soliders you fight...reconstituded humans.

That is what he was talking to. It's an actual Combine alien.

The combine soldiers/CP's are humans, they are not actual Combine aliens.
 
Didn't Breen mention something about host and worms? Maybe there are these little worms inside Breen's and combine's head that control them? Host! Aliens!
 
It's sideways and rotated so you're looking at its back (or possibly its stomach), but yup, that's what Breen was talking to. Remonds me of a caterpillar with extra bits grafted on...

The second one is the original form of the Elite.
 
So what exactly are the combine soldiers? and what exactly are the prowler guys in the citidel?
 
Okay, looking at the newer picture of it, it appears to be some blobby, amorphous creature inside a green stitched fabric sack (possibly some sort of clothing) which has odd lettering on the "collar", with no apparent eyes and some attatched breathing apparatus. It also has an attatchment point for a pair of apparently artificial arms, and a strapped-on floatation system.

As for the creature itself, it appears to be more or less featureless, rather like a large grub of some sort. Perhaps it's mostly brain?
 
whoa! the combine übersoldier looks ****ing sweet!°
pity though..
 
yup, someone post the first thing.

at the ending, if you use noclip you can find it in some room.
 
Someone make a shitty map and put that hairy, shiny soldier in, and do some battle. Tell us how it goes.

Breen: "...but I can still deliver earth to you!"
Worm: "Talk to the ass."

:LOL:

The "Combine soldiers" are...



humans modified against their wills by the Combine with boimechanoid parts. They are, actually, called the Overwatch.
 
i dont know if you'd be able to put the combine super soldier thingy in a map because it might not have AI routines. but if a mod team used the model...I can only imagine how cool that would be.
 
:dozey: Hmm... maybe those models we seem to find in GCF files and whatnot that we don't see in Half Life 2 probably will be seen in future expansion(s)?
 
It's like a mini strider...that's so cool :)
 
I wonder if any guys from VALVe are reading this and thinking, "Well, now we've gotta use it somewhere...".
 
That super soldier is only a JPG. When you double click on it the only thing that comes up is an Elite Combine Soldier.

Are you talking about those weird somewhat dead-like creatures? Those were pretty cool, and I'd like to see some sort of backstory for them in a mod (or maybe just get to fight them).
 
the blue grey wierd tech eyeflap things are stalkers, kind of the working slaves for the combine who where enhanced with a lazer for fighting in the leaked preprepre alpha
 
Yes, that is a Combine Advisor, which is what Breen was talking to at the beginning of the game when you first attempt to warp, and at the last level when you're chasing him.

Combine soldiers = humans
 
I just realized what the Combine Advisor reminds me of...

It's skin looks like the skin of the Nihilanth. Seriously, look at it! Would make sense if the combine was the Greater Master and the Nihilanth the Lesser Master that the Vortigaunts speak of. Also would explain NIhilanth's cybernetics and why he looks like he was stitched together.

the second thing was an old concept for the combine elite, but valve change it becuase they want the combine "to be more a transparent force"
 
I was just thinking about that today, UndeadScottsman. In RtB and the little sampler book, you see that

Stalkers and Soldiers have apparently been heavily altered surgically, with massive stitching and scarring. And their overall skin tone does seem similar to the Nihilanth's, as well...

You were originally to fight against them. They are called Stalkers. They are humans who are living on saline, with limbs removed. The Combine co-opt races to do thier dirty work. Vortigaunts in manacles, headcrabs and humans in this form.

GET 'RAISING THE BAR' IT EXPLAINS ALL OF THIS!!!!
 
You guys ever think it might just be the things head? A combine alien head? I doubt their leader is a big blob.
 
It's called the "Advisor", so I imagine it's like some sort of monitor caste. And I don't think it's just the head of it, if you look at the model, it's a big blobby alien in a fabric sack with some kind of antigrav backpack thingies.
 
How did you get the new model? I didn't think you could browse outside the sdk folder? I want to get a look at that combine super soldier in the model viewer.
 
IT reminds me of the things from DUNE that stretch time and space using the spice, i forget what theya re called now but they are quite similar.
