A HL2 combine campaign?? - General

I was wondering if Valve are going to do a HL2 game with combine campaing. Example: Half-Life : Opposing forces. You would actually be a combine, and doing things in the HL2 universe and finish as a Combine overwatch or something like that.

but there wouldn't be much variety... you'd just be crushing zombies, antlions and rebels... you'd have no boss battles as you have all the npcs used for boss battles(hunter-chopper, apc, strider, gunship)

Maybe if Gearbox got involved (they made opposing force). But I think everyone would prefer if Adrian Shepard came back. And this would probably be better off in the valve games subforum.

Why? The combine are going doooown.

but think about it, in hl1 they had enough rampant aliens for opposing force to work... if they did do this, it'd be hl2 without fighting the vehicle npcs, in other words PISS EASY

Hijacked vehicles maybe?

but you then have striders and gunships definatle on your side as they are synths... but still wouldn't be fantastic...

Most likely you get separated from your squad at the beginning of the game, Maybe a bit later you'll get Combine soldiers to boss around (Like how you get a squad of rebels in HL2).

There was a Combine campaign mod made but it had hardly anything to do with HL2...well at least until they make the sequel mod, lemme go look it up real quick. [editline]01:49AM[/editline] [url]http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/HalfLife_2_Combine_Destiny_Mod;51699[/url] Combine Destiny was it :V

Maybe if the made it an entirely different game, like Dead-Space 3rd-person style, with an actually modern graphical engine, and multi-player campaign support. The core Half-Life series should continue as-is, but spin-offs never hurt anyone.

but then again the combine are being brought to an end at the end of ep3... a combine campaign would be hard to balance, why not a antlion campaign? that would be interesting...

[QUOTE=Splode a Pinga;19636935]An Antlion RTS. :v:[/QUOTE] nah, it'd have to be antlion TPS, that would be interesting

I think it could work, with the last boss being Gordon Freeman. He has a shitload of HP and dodges a lot. Just like HL2. :aaa:

I got an idea, Shepard comes back, but he a combine with is memory intact, thats all i got.

he only has 100, and therocially it'd less than a clip of smg to kill him, the smg does 3 damage per bullet so... 45x3=135 so if he had 200 suit it'd only take 2 and a bit clips of SMG to kill it...
