I mean, these things that he has on Earth are not only fragments of his huge armies, but even the Synths he has are not the real strong Synths, they are just weak copies of them, and I'm sure they are not the only Synths that exist, there may be millions in the Combine that we haven't even seen, it's not just the ones that we've seen appear in the game like for example the Striders or the Combine dropships in the game or the human beings turned into obedient and totally obedient foot soldiers programmed for and with the Combine, just to give you an idea of ​​how ridiculously strong they are... I mean, humanity is actually barely holding its own against the full power of the Combine.

    "They gather and unite the scattered Combine forces. They move north with great purpose."
    Anyway, this in my mind is what Half-Life 3 should look like graphically and I seriously mean that, no Half-Life 3 jokes or whatever. I've seen your other work like that one of the City 17 uprising and Dr. Breen giving a speech which I like for the same reasons. These Half-Life videos that you're doing, while they do have some changes in them over their original counterparts in the games, it never looks out of place. The changes are appropriate and actually help to enhance the scene along with the upgraded graphical fidelity and that's exactly what I want out of a remake. You don't slaughter the original source material, you add tasteful additions that agree with the original source material. Keep these up, hopefully someone at Valve will notice. Good work

    "All autonomous units: accept mandatory sector assimilation" always stood out to me. Makes me think that the advisors don't have complete control of the Overwatch soldiers. Could it be due to the Citadel getting destroyed?

    • @coltpiecemaker
      @coltpiecemaker 2 роки тому +4

      "Autonomous Units" could be in reference to Combine troops garrisoned on the frontier, far away from the cities and Combine strongholds. It's possible that Overwatch lost communication with these units after the Citadel was destroyed, leaving them to remain at their posts on standby. Now that they are desperate, the Combine are trying to gather as many troops as possible, even the smaller units out in the middle of nowhere.

    I find it funny that despite how advanced the Combine are, their best method of transporting something as high-value as an advisor pod is by attaching it to two APCs with some wires and towing it. I understand they're kinda scrambling any available resource at this point in the game, but why couldn't they just have a dropship carry it? Seems like it'd be more efficient.

    • @TheParryGod
      @TheParryGod  Рік тому

      I'd say it was purely done this way so that the player could take a good look at the pods. Plus they are kinda huge and a dropship's carrying arms might not be able to hook under it. On the other hand the pods can fly so who knows.
