Not put anything up here for a while, so here's a few of my latest.
All around the same topic; Combine invasion ten years late, thus more resistance.

C&C And all that jazz.
Hells yeah, the British are ready to kick some ass...
Blur much?
Still nice.
Cool idea. First picture you went rather crazy with the blur though and the second two pictures are quite dark.
[QUOTE=gtanoofa;21186387]That's awesome. Yes the first picture is way too blurred but the third is epic.[/QUOTE]
Yeah cheers, the third would have had far more going on if I didn't get pissed off at photoshop crashing, right near the end!
Radial blur was a bad choice but the posing and faceposing on the first pic is pretty awesome.
The other pics are a bit too dark but always with nice posing.
looking good, I like that your brits have multicam, since it's being adopted now, it's safe to say they'd have in the future,
also liking the female soldier there, wish that was released as a model haha
good job!
nice but the radial blur is unnecessary

The female soldier isn't actually a model, it's just the combined effort of that soldier, zoey, and female_02, plus inflator and photoshop.
Looks nice, I was expecting muskets and cannonade though.
Nice work but I hate these high tech suits. They are rebels, not some elite soldiers.
I think 10 years advancement of human tech could push the length of the war to maybe 7 days but not 7 years. Cool posing though

This. The Combine-Earth War, regardless of length, would play out more like a conflict involving an old-world empire. Modern Wars seek some sort of political or diplomatic goals such as independence, whereas these older imperial wars are only concerned with one thing. Conquest.
While depleting the Earth's resources and establishing a totalitarian puppet government over her residents are nice perks for the Combine, all they are truly concerned about is power. If they simply wanted to annihilate us, they would have done so long before the events of Half-Life 2. The Combine are not using the suppresion feild as a method of exterminating humanity, but rather motivation for them to join Overwatch. While the combine aren't truly 'immortal', I highly doubt an Overwatch soldier can die of old age, or of illness or starvation.
However, bear in mind that the name '7 hour war' is probably colliquial, since it's never explicitly stated outside Raising the Bar that the military was overthrown in a matter of seven hours. And I mean, even for the Combine it'd be next to impossible to overwthrow the Earth's military in 7 hours. It'd take over 7 hours to find the areas that the remaining military would be entrenched in and to mobilize forces to there. And yes, while the Combine would have a vastly unfair andvantage over us in strength and technology, and not even the Combine are bulletproof, as Gordon Freeman so amply demonstrates. On top of that, Eli mentions that Breen "managed Earth's surrender". The word 'surrender' implies that there was enough of a government and military left to speak for humanity and make a decision to surrender.
Afterwords, the combine would have destroyed and/or disbanded remaining governments (this is supported in-game on bulliten boards where there are photographs the UN Secretariat building in New York up in flames.). Any remaining military would have either laid down their arms, or put up a resistance to either be quelled or dismissed as enough of a threat by the Combine.
So, with that in mind, if humanity actually decided to hold it's ground against the combine, they would probably last well over 7 hours, if not several months.
Still, however, even with advanced technology, 7 years is stretching it. Humanity would not last constant warfare with the Combine for that long.
in the last pic, the 3 guys behind the rocket soldier will get wax'd by the rocket's backblast.

and yeah, not many wars even pass 7 years.
see world war 1, world war 2, korea, etc.
Very good pictures.

oh yeah, I know, I'm saying we need some decent female soldiers models so we don't need to do inflating or shooping
