[@Pikasatupu75]

Not to mention Ordinal stopped for a quick reload behind the Charger.

[@ToastenStole]

The beauty of HL:A's ai, it's kinda realistic how tactical the Ordinals are compared to the others. Using cover much more often then grunts, and using the support as cover.

It depends on how much heavy equipment the Combine has. That ATST would have given the Combine a bad day, but admittedly. I don't know enough about them to accurately say.

These combine are specific to the Quarantine Zone, an infested area of an occupied city the combine has. Their standard units are a lot lighter, and they have massive, intelligent fighting synths like Striders, Gunships, Dropships, Combine Guards (if you consider the beta build canon), hunters (basically heavy assault synths),and modified APCS. Not t9 mention orbital bombardments and ability to instantly teleport anywhere in the cosmos. Pretty scary stuff.

AT LEAST NPC UNIVERSE HAS RETURN

[@mrman3099]

The chargers seem to struggle the most in these combine vs. combine scenarios. For one they tend to get confused as the way they pursue a single target directly influences how they engage from a distance. Chargers are programmed to pursue a single target (the player) and force them out of cover via slowly but surely walking towards them, and using their shield to protect from headshots. Once they get close enough they deploy their shotgun which deals major damage. In this case they seem to get very confused as to which target to pursue and simply stand in place and deploy their shield instead of returning fire once they get shot (something they seem to remember). Something that doesn't help is the fact that the "stormtroopers" who are basically just reskinned grunts have infinite grenades, which are essentially the chargers kyrptonite. If the grenades were disabled or maybe limited the charger would probably have a much better time.

[@Tuntor689]

I love how the charger realized the firepower was overwhelming and decided to use it’s shield as a means to get close so it could use it’s shotgun more effectively.

[@cheeseburger1293]

When talking about the combine we have to make a few things clear, we can’t count non-cannon stuff, which probably includes all the cut content and some synth soldiers from the combine. We don’t know enough about the combine to truly come to a conclusion on who would be victorious in a battle

[@ToastenStole]

Technically, there is no TRUE lore, it's kinda all up to the player as small parts of a much larger universe is slowly revealed, but it's safe to say the combine would still win with their better armor, weapons, and vehicles/synths that would destroy the AT-AT, AT-STs, And TIE Fighters/Bombers Let's also put into fact that the combine are a multi-universal army, they would have MUCH more bodies and weaponry to throw then the Empire would have.

[@wolflightning2331]

just realized the reason why grunts was never used was because the storm troopers was the grunts but reskinned

[@eightball6219]

My only gripe is that the Empire is only using their E-11s and grenades while the Combine units have some unit diversity: riflemen, LMGs, riot shields, etc. It seems kinda even, but if the Empire got some weapon/unit diversity like the Combine the fights would be a lot different.

[@nekolare]

It's a bit complicated, HL:A mods can only replace things that the game already has, in this case stormtroopers and their E-11's replacing grunts and their pulse SMG's

5:36 Combine gunner: "I wonder if that's a..."

[@4T3hM4kr0n]

1:00 ok THAT was cool! Ordinal runs to take cover behind the energy shield emitted by the Wallhammer before running off to better cover under the TIE Fighter then gives out a direct command on who to target with the hand gesture.

[@LCOfficerUNIT097]

The combine would win by a mile if they had to fight Stormtroopers. Against higher ups like Jedi or Siths? Yeah, I could see them struggle, but thats when the Advisor comes in.

[@ToastenStole]

Advisors would clap with the telekinesis, but the dark energy bullets used by combine might prove more difficult to block as they don't move as slow as blaster fire does.

Fun fact, if an Ordinal Dies then any other unit in its squad will make uncoordinated decisions and attacks

[@cerisuite9076]

Physical kinetic bullets would due a lot against stormtrooper armor, since its meant to protect from laser/plasma blasters instead of kinetic rounds- almost would probably crumple like plastic against bullets. Not to mention the tactics Half Life Alyx NPC's have due to learning it from earth's tactics- basically, Plasma blaster would easily penetrate our modern body armor today, as our modern weapons and guns would penetrate Stormtrooper armor today, unless I'm wrong.

[@Reaper08]

In the lore armour in star wars is supposedly so effective against against kinetic projectiles that it's nearly impossible to kill someone wearing armour while using projectile weapons. When asked about Endor and the Wookies the general sentiment is "we don't talk about Endor." Some transhuman units do use actual Combine weapons though and they're not bullets. They're weaponized dark energy.

[@ToastenStole]

The bullets used by combine are Dark energy as @Reaper08 said, and modern guns do exist and they're called slugthrowers and are ineffective to near useless against armor, while very effective against sith and jedi as for you can not block or deflect the projectile with the lighsaber. but the Combine would still clap considering their weaponry and synths(+the use of biological warfare/Crab shells)

Do you put the combine in squads? I think doing that makes the ai less likely to friendly fire on eachother.

Yes I do, otherwise they wouldn't fight each other, since stormtroopers are modded combine I have set a different team for each side.

@@illuminatorgd3137 Not easily. I'd reckon a few decades of fighting before complete conquest by the Imperium. The Galactic Empire does maintain control over sixty million plus worlds after all and they still possesses a fleet of millions of ships and an army of trillions of troops. An invasion by the Imperium would probably unite the Empire and various rebel factions temporarily so it wouldn't just be the Empire.

@@benceklock4831 If they control entire dimensions and universes then you'd think they wouldn't have problems with spreading their numbers too thin, but clearly they do meaning they'd struggle against the Empire. And if it's merely an issue with expanding too fast then it's an issue with the higher-ups making poor tactical decisions. And at what point do you decide some tiny backwater planet isn't worth defending? The trope you mentioned is common, where a vast army is thwarted in large part by a single person. It applies to Half Life, Star Wars, Doom, and many other games/movies. It's not realistic but it makes for a good story.
