[QUOTE=-TRASE-;33872917]I hope this is not Valve's work. I REALLY do it's not something from future Half-Life. I loved the franchise in the first place for thinking like this:[/QUOTE]
In my opinion, the old Combine armour is getting boring and stale. I think a re-design would be cool.
And Freeman is an one-man-army, they seriously need some reinforcing. :v:

I suppose in game you could argue a small unit of Combine-2.0 got through the portal before it disappeared, or they were kept back to mainly guard the Combine Advisors...
The new combine look actually looks like it can inflict fear, and not look stupid like the current combine.
I for one accept our [I]new[/I] Combine overlords.

My god, that looks sexy. I could masturbate over that. Good lord. It looks amazing. Wow.
I only hope that its real. That icon on the bottom right there looks like we might be able to identify it's authenticity. We should cross refrence other concept art that we've seen leaked before with it, and maybe there will be the same icon on the valve concept art as that, certifying that, that picture is from valve.

All this sudden drop of Half Life related symbols can't be of coincidence. I has to be something with HL3/EP3.
I HAS TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Haven't we established a thousand pages ago that that site's fake
Did It always say "Status: Mark 7" at the top of the browser?
Wasn't this site confirmed fake anyway?
And off I go to play HL:S.
I think it's the time we all have to agree about one thing.
All those clues, all the mystery about the game... can lead us to only one conclustion... It's the begining of Half Life 3 ARG.
I hope Valve throws Gordon into one of these holiday pictures just because something Half Life related is on sale (but everyone will still freak the fuck out)
[QUOTE=Str4fe;33875634]I think that combine 2.0 is a lot sexier. Not too futuristic or tacticool, but the hl2's combine looks more like "80's-20's combine"[/QUOTE]
2.0 suits more for Portal 2 than for city 17, have you forgot how all combine tech is more simple solid metal stuff rather than nano-technology.

Re-design, yes, in the meaning of alternative. But not changing his what looks like it was mass produced in some rusty mechanized warehouse out of earth materials into state of the art space technology.
Like this beta stuff, it's not the same, but it fits the style of not-so-techy

Re-design. Not useless flashy futuristic sci-fi stuff.[/QUOTE]
It's one piece of concept art for a slightly different combine model.
quit raging over it.
Seeing how HL3/EP3 will probably take place in the Arctic instead of City 17, 2.0 could work well.

I'm discussing possible first Half-Life concepts in couple of years in a Half-Life thread.

No, it isn't. Stalkers, Energy balls/fields, Mortar synths, Striders, Crab synths etc (All the synths) are much more advanced than that. The Combine have access to better technology then just "simple solid metal stuff". The least advanced things are what they adapted from the humans, like the APC's and Helicopters. If they wanted to make much better stuff for them, they could, but it's likely that as the Overwatch hasn't really proved it's usefullness they haven't got much.
How would that combine 2.0 fit Portal 2 at all?

Fuck yeah they fixed the Fmod sound issue
did gabe really said they would announce something with a 3 in it, or was it fake?
as much as i would like HL3/ep3 i don't mind a portal 3 making the link between portal and HL universe, with chell escaped now
[QUOTE=Butthurter;33877255]you tell me mr. i-want-to-see-live-aperture-turrets-on-borealis[/QUOTE]
What does that have to do with the combine fitting in with Portal 2? And there is no reason why some variant of turret can not be on the Borealis.
[QUOTE=Butthurter;33877306]you do realize portal 2 is set thousands of years after portal right
and dont say "combine overwiki said its 20 or so years" because for some reason theyre oblivious to geoff keighleys statement in the final hours of p2 which clearly confirmed that its been thousands of years[/QUOTE]
Never heard that Geoff said it in The Final Hours. What does he actually say?
[QUOTE=nightlord;33876990]No, it isn't. Stalkers, Energy balls/fields, Mortar synths, Striders, Crab synths etc (All the synths) are much more advanced than that.[/QUOTE]
It's not about tech level, it's about visual style. Aperture science is less advanced than Citadel, but first one has that shiny fragile look while citadel is rough and dark if you get what I mean. Something like Fallout universe - their tech is far more advanced like flying robots with real AI, but it is achieved with low-tech materials like CRT screens and lamp-based circuitry. And by fitting into portal 2 I meant fitting visually. I think I stated my point enough, agree or not is other's personal business.
I think its safe to assume that if they are going to announce anything within a fair bit of time, it'll be tomorrow, on Christmas.

how's that relevant, i didn't say chell and gordon have to meet, or even that aperture science and black mesa have to fight each other, just that chell is free, and she could tell us more about the world in HL

The suit doesnt look much like nano-technology for me.

Looks like something that could easily exist today.
