Now let me begin by saying although they are enemies, surely one must feel empathetic towards these antagonists.
First, the unlucky Zombies, simply in the wrong place at the wrong time:
These Zombies, once everyday regular Humans, are unfortunate in the fact that they have had their lives taken away from them by a mere Headcrab a.k.a Headhumper. I assume it went something like this:
A man is walking through Ravenholm when suddenly the sky turns pitch black, the clouds rumble with the sound of thunder and the lightning strikes trees near and far, igniting them instantaneously. The man knows there is something wrong so he starts to head home immediately, he takes a short cut through a back alley and hears what appears to be little footsteps. As he is so scared, he thinks nothing of it and continues on the path that will forever remain imbeded in his mind. As he nears the middle of the alley he hears little noises, like a creature coming towards him. He starts to speed up, the sound gets louder, he turns around and bam, a Headcrab has attached himself to the poor mans head and it's literally eating his brains out. The zombification process does not take too long and the man is now only living under the control of the so-called Headhumper.
I feel that this poor soul means us not intentional harm, he only attacks us because he is controlled to do so. Once the Headcrab is successfully removed, he may finally rest in peace.
Secondly we have the Combine, some may say that they deserve no sympathy but if you truly knew the meaning of their suffering, would you feel the same way?
Neutered. That's right, these poor men have had the genitalia removed completely. Why? Some believe it was a torture method used in Black Mesa times before they became Combine soldiers, others believe they are less likely to be hurt, in battle, without body parts, well most of them. Either way, these men had no say in the matter and now have no self respect, so they may as well give up their lives to serve under Overwatch. They have nothing to live for, so they think, so they take their anger and rage out on anyone that isn't a fellow Combine. Had this "surgery" not have happened, these poor souls might actually have lives other than trying to maim, or for that matter kill, innocent civilians.
So spare a thought for these poor enemies next time you blow the hell out of them, remember how much they have been through and imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes. Would you like to have a Headcrab humping your brains out and making you a Zombie? Would you like to have your genitals removed and...no wait...having your genitals removed is bad enough. Didn't think so.
