there's far, far too much empty space on pretty much all of these

I know, but, when I am doing some photo of some sniper (like the 1st one) how to make it without empty space?

Choose a better angle and add some stuff, like crates and such.

Ok then.
What's going on in the picture with the Obslote combine?

How yo can see, there were rebels and were planning an attack to Combines, so they had to do a counter-attack.

set up your camera angles better and place various props, ragdolls, etc. around the scene. there should be something filling almost every empty space in the pose. take this pose by lonefirewarrior, for example:
[IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27247686/Warfighters%20resize.jpg[/IMG]
as you can see, the camera angle is set up so that there's a ragdoll or prop filling every available space. so if you're finding your camera angle a bit empty, put in some more props or ragdolls to fill it up a bit. you sort of got the idea of it with the second pic down, so just think in regards of what you do need to see (the ragdolls, important props) and what you don't need to see (bare walls, areas with nothing happening in them), and cut out the latter by zooming in more or placing more props and/or ragdolls.

The dead rebels posing does not make any sense. Also, why are there a hanging Metro Police there?

That's because they WERE planning. Metro police was there, because Rebels went with him there and they want info about Combine base etc.
So he was taken a prisoner by them?
Use SDoF
The second one is really good. Probably the best there.
I know, I think it's my best and my best edited.
As I've posted my other thread, heres a basic tutorial on how lighting and third-party editors can greatly improve your poses. Also something which I didn't include - facial expressions are VERY important too, such as the eyes. In the first few pictures, I hadn't positioned the eyes, then when we jump to the Photoshop part I had moved the eyes, which made a MASSIVE difference. Also at the bottom I've included a few comparisons to show you the difference Photoshop can make.

[SUP]Lighting, my friend, lighting and DOF.
Lighting makes things sexy and realistic, DOF makes improves it. Also a good color correction couldn't hurt.
Step one: Set up your pose, find your angle, and place lighting (using lamps ect):[IMG]http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y531/General-Hawk/2013-04-02_00002_zpsb2c91331.jpg[/IMG]
(without lighting and with)

Now you move over to Photoshop to finish the product. Heres simple edits (slight color correction and DOF added):

Now add in your filters:

Add some attention to detail:

And then simply finish it with some more attention to detail, to make it even better (lens flares ect, adjust lighting to fit the lens flares):

And now you're done, you have something that's not half bad without having to spend too much time on it.
(With some more attention to detail (I.E the running eye liner) you can give it more emotion, like this:
