are these blue things running around in the citadel the combines without cloths/masks? (you only see them when you are being transported in this thingy)
 
I think they are prowlers. They are not combines. They seems to be some kind of slaves. When you get futher into the citadel you see giant green aliens over the bridges (not striders) What are they?
 
lol what? Wanna post a pic cause I dont have a clue of what your talking about..
kthxbye
 
They're stalkers.

I don't think they are unmasked Combine. Their movement and shapes are different. They also seem to exhibit far more subservient qualities.
 
From what I understand the bald peglegged naked guys are captured humans that have been modified to work as slaves for the Combine. Although I can't seem to remember where I heard this.. 'Raising the Bar' perhaps?..

yeah they are called Stalkers, I kinda just assumed because one of my teammates made the comment "they won't make a stalker outta me." or something like that ;)

man they look cool though eh?

jebus I want an expansion pack or hl3 now!!!
this game was just too damn good... I can't play anything else.. nothing else comes close :(
 
Make sure you look around when you're in the cart. On its last straight away before it makes its climb for the top you see the stalkers up close under you. You also see varied types of vehicles and varied stalker looking vehicles. Right before the cart goes up there are a couple strange looking animals laying on the ledges right next to you.

Lots going on, and the alien Dr. Breen was talking to when you run up to the force field? Benefactors? Or are those guys with G-man and this is only another alien type race that is working for the benefactors... eh too much. Maybe the Nihilanth you killed in the end of HL1 was reborn, or this is its offspring, or this is another type of smarter being controling all of these creatures.

Listen to the combine and stryders (and other vehicles) as they fall and die. We know the combine are converted humans, and there is a picture sprayed on a wall somewhere (I never found it in game) that shows a monkey (human) with its brain being taken out and then its turned into a combine. When the other vehicles die, they make animal sounds. Just seems like everything is half-technology half-alien....

I though the Combine were just humanoid aliens, not converted humans. The Stalkers are converted humans (the bald peglegged people with occular implants).
 
I put my comment in tags just in case someone has not finished/played Hl2.

th Combine seem to be a race of aliens, however similar to the borg (or if you watched Chronicles of Riddick, the Necromongers) they are a race that "collects" races, to strengthen it's army.. to whatever goal that might be, therefore the Overwatch and CP (citizen police) are converted humans.. humans that are part of the Combine. (hence the name Combine)

as Dr. Breen said in one of his speeches "the lesser races will become extinct" aka, humans are absorbed into the combine, and animals etc that don't serve purpous are removed, he also talks of immortality, I assume that immortality would come with the machinery implanted.

at least thats what I got from finishing the game. The stalkers look like Humans who were stripped and instead replaced with machinery... maybe as a punishment.... built apparently for menial tasks and labor.... or perhaps humans who lacked the ability/physical condition etc to make good soldiers.
 
those naked pegged lagged things are stalkers, they are humans converted into slaves to work the citadel.

near the top of the citadel there are aliens we have never seen before marching accross a bridge.
 
Actually in the model viewer there is a model for a un uniformed combined

They look completely diffrent,t they remind me of quake

they are the combines on the slab waiting full uniform/biomechanics

they are the soldiers. the other ones which are nearly al naked are slaves.
 
Stalkers are the ones with no hands and legs. They weld stuff with the thing over thier face.

The green "Larva" things are called Synths. There is another type of synth that is smaller called Mortor Synth.

That answers the original question

You can see a Combine Soldier without his mask and most of his uniform in Nova Prospekt on the cameras. You also see the Gman on one of the screens :smoking:

They are not prowlers.. they never made it into the game, they are stalkers.
But ok i also mix the names up sometimes :D :frog:

Oh.. and the giant green aliens are called... ehm... can't remember, but i think you'll be facing them in HL3 :imu:
