Looks nice, but those don't look like combine, though I've never seen the models. And I though combine soldiers used AR2s?

"kilo whiskey alpha"

I sort of have doubts that an alien race would use NATO code.

There is also a weird blur around everything.

I think it looks sick.

[cheesecurls]

the smudging/blur shit going on, just killed the entire thing..you should definatley look up some photoshop tutorials

[rossmum]

What the fuck did you do with the smudge and blur tools? It looks awful.

Edited:

The Combine harvest any technologically and intelligence they get from the races they take over. Such as the helicopter, from us. If they found NATO code to be better than what they were using, they'd adapt it.

Which is pretty unlikely, considering how advanced their military already is.

They posing is really bad, like really. What are you doing? No one walks like that. Get up and look at yourself walking in a mirror or record it for later or something.

And yet they all use MP7s? What happens when humans come along with Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifles?

Kilo Whiskey Alpha sounds like a horrid concept for a military name.


If you were actually in military code that sounds like some form of bomber command

Kilo = Bomb
Whiskey = Incendiary
Alpha = Big Part of Operation


Concept in the end?
Incendiary/Napalm Bomber Plane which contains a huge role in operation.

Eh... Totally depends.

Half Life lore dictated after the surrender of Earth any remaining military forces were transfered to being Combine Soldiers / Combine Elites, and police/swat was switched over to Civil Protection.

Random smudges kind of ruin it.

The military that we see in Half Life 2 is after they've adapted all human technology's they've deemed useful for an odd 20 years. Maybe their military wasn't that great before they took us over? Maybe they only one because they had such extreme force, however our tactical military proved useful to them as they could use lesser numbers and be much more effective.

A multi-dimensional empire, led by telepathic superspecies, with hundreds of assimilated races serving it, and it doesn't have a military system far more advanced than ours? Unlikely. Maybe possible, but unlikely.
