White Mask Combines Are Human?

[Dark Auro]

Sorry if this should be put into the other topic about the combine in ranks but this is different. I read a lot of posts about how people think that the white mask combines might be aliens and that the black mask combines are human cause we've heard them talk but it got me thinking...Barney is wearing a combine uniform and I'm guessing if he was supposed to be undercover doesn't it make sense that the other combine are human? If the white mask combines were aliens wouldn't they know that Barney isn't one of them if they would of talked to him or something?

 

[switch]

true, but it could depend on the circumstances of him going undercover, he might not have needed to mingle with the other combine, so to speak

 

[Orange]

Perhaps its like the civil war, where everyone is seperated only by their beliefs and outfit ( PUN!).

guess we'll jsut have to wait. . .

i already told u guys in the other thread that combine are human, isn't that clear enough?!!! here we go deep down into the story again:

G-man is gay, Alyx is Lesbian, Gordon is the pimp, Barney is the mafia leader undercovered in the combine and Combine is the policeman department against prostitution. See the proof below where combine policeman force arrest all the male prostitute on the street in china town :

besides, alyx's father is the founder of the mafia and non-profit organisation of prostitution "Black Messa inc." in city 17. Why does the gouvenment found the combine policeman force to kill off the mafia organisation? cuz prostitution became free so that the gouvement can't charge tax on the entire prostitution industry. It sucks.

maybe the creatures from other planet could be human also. cuz the strongest creature I have seen so far is human.

Barney is wearing a combine uniform

This has been bothering me for so long. Every post I see this in makes me cringe and I have said nothing but now I must clarify this. Barney is NOT wearing a Combine uniform.

As you can clearly see they're not the same. Not to mention that combines have a different uniforms. Look through all the pictures of the combines and you'll see not all of them have the same uniform.

Please stop saying Barney is wearing a combine uniform. They are very similar but not the same.

Maybe one screenshot is older than the other

Yeah thats what I was thinking too cause all you need to do is change a couple tiny things and the uniforms will look exactly the same.

Nice picture , it shows that Barney is wearing combine uniform. see two belts, bulletproof vest and the armband on both barney and combine's uniform. The only difference is the mask and what they put on the belt. There are a bit difference in what they wear, but it doesn't mean what barney wear is not a combine uniform.

 

[Ridic]

What could that mean?? So many possibilites.

Gordon is a bad guy?
Barney in disguise?
Barney is a bad guy?
Barney was a combine then got out of the bad guy business?

 

[nw909]

But if gordon was a bad guy and barney turned good and the e3 movies are from the final game then barney must be with gordon.

The reason why the outfits look different in those screens is that Barney is under dark shadows.
When he enters the light later on, you can see that the suits are the same, right down to the shiny gloves.

Pressure, next time analyse it corretly before u talk, but nice picture.

[Hunter]Ridic, wanna know exactly what it mean, read the story in the post under Chirst_D's.

 

[vitale]

i was gonna say too. I find it hilarious Pressure puts up a link to a picture that even more shows that the possibility of Barney going in diguise as a Combine more clear and side that it's not.
And actually the belt seems to be the same too, when you lighten up the picture, that radio looking thing is there, maybe if we can get the other side of Barney, it will just make things even plain in sight.

EDIT - check out barricade vid again, when that combine lands in front of you, you can clearly see the suit is exactly the same. So that picture of the white-masked combine is more likely an older model

 

[Guest]

the point is that barney is an undercover or he diguise as combine to save people from the jail.

 

[vitale]

i would say both lol
wouldnt you want to be undercover to go save ppl from jail :]

 

[Guest]

hey vitale, did u read the hl2 story? the one under Chris_D's post.

 

[vitale]

i skimmed thru it, im not a fan of reading, im more a picture person :0

 

[MrWhite]

Barney is wearing the combine uniform, you can tellwhen he throws that first grenade in the barricade video and the combine soldier flys right up to em.

They're wearing the same, black pants with stripes on the side, vest, shiney gloves, cop boots (the kind they often get made fun of for wearing womens boots) two belts, etc.

just the mask is missing

 

[Think]

I dont think that any Combine are human. think every one of them is aliens. they has stranges backs.

 

[3rd Impact]

I think the Combine soldiers are human, IMO their voices sound human apart from the distortion because they are wearing gas masks...

 

[Guest]

yeah they are human just read the story man.

Alright, you heard the man. Go home people, nothing to see here.
:hmph:

 

[ulukai]

The only thing i want it s that HL2 work with HLMW to make marines skins like in HL hd and op4 hd

 

[Wilco]

Well. Perhaps its not Combine. PCG UK said that theres a City-17 Police force that oppresses the masses. So It looks like thats them. (The Metrocops) I emailed Gabe about that and he didnt answer, the only 1 of my many questions he didnt answer, so perhaps I stumbled on summit.

Perhaps they are infested by the combine. As I have to admit the big Citadel (and the barricade seems to have a small gate like it) Was said to be a combine fortress. And the Strider is combine so they would seem to be alien. Unless the Strider is the output of a secret Black Mesa esqe government experiment. Which would explain everthing.

Unless its just a hallucination Gordon has from licking toads. That could also explain everything.

 

[Wilco]

but doesnt fit the HL style quite as well, you have to agree.

u're right, read the story man. u can find it at the first page of this thread the fifth post.

 

[DaLys]

I think they are humans but the aliens have manipulated their brains.

Why the hell do the gas masks have the eye holes a good 3 inches in front of where they would be for a human then? Why are they even wearing gasmasks if they are completely normal humans?

You know...there is gasmasks like that in real life, i dont feel like looking for it right now but it been posted in the forums before.

I'm sorry I don't quite understand what's the big deal here. I don't mean to start a flame war but does it really matter if they're aliens or humans? we're going to find out pretty soon anyway. It only matters if they're hostile, and from the footage I've seen they're pretty hostile alright

I said the same thing in the 40fps thread and it didnt go that well

So just leave the thread to the ones that like to talk about the same things over and over again.

 

[Gunner]

Yes I read that reply about "speculation", now that was hostile lol

I dont see the fun of talking about it....but ill guess i need to stay out from general forums a while...

 

[Anwar]

I notice a quality difference in the 2 pictures.. one is of a screen shot the other the vid.

I hope I can see that quality in the game with setting turned up.
