I'll go ahead and pin a comment here for anyone who has disagreements with this match's outcome- Both of these factions come from totally different backgrounds filled with lore that I couldn't entirely explore in this one quick video. As such, the winner is determined simply by which NPC's won. I could have done better showing this, as a few of the large scale battles may have felt inconclusive. I could have very easily added a few more Covenant soldiers and let them win, but I gave it to the Combine this time. Still, like I said, either side could win this. Maybe I'll remake this later, I don't know.

[@dr.wallacebreen3859]

We don't know the full power of the combine, they could beat / have beaten the flood in another universe, and maybe the creation of the combine came from the precursors instead of them turning into flood when the forerunners had killed them, because the floods existence is to punish living species because of the betrayal from the forerunners, and if the precursors created the combine they're essentially doing what the flood do, just not assimilating biomass, but enslavement and control.

[@TarsonTalon]

The Combine would be pretty terrifying if they got their hands on an all-consuming parasite. I'm not even sure if their interests would be in conflict, they just have different methods to achieve the same goal: TOTAL ASSIMILATION. Being 'corrupted' by the Flood simply means the Combine can do that much, much faster and more efficiently.

Hello, the coder of that addon here, kamikaze grunts standing still means there's no navmesh, make sure there's navmesh on every zone you plan to use them on

I figured that was the main issue, a lot of the maps I use don't have navmesh and sometimes I'm just too lazy to generate any myself. If there's any way to place navmesh in only the small zones that I plan on recording with, I'll look into it, since I never really thought of that.

The Combine would probably enslave Grunts first, as they mate fast and can enter battle after a couple of months or just one. Unlike the Covenant/Banished, the Combine will likely turn them into synths. I like to imagine them being half flesh and half machine, augmented eyesight and their bodies modded so they can breath in whatever atmosphere the Combine sees fit. Im not sure about any other species however, perhaps the insects but thats it. Hunters would be too complicated to synthesis and Brutes and Elites would serve as much troubles as humans would.

What we face is basically just a local garrison with militia volunteers (the entire Metro Police force is human.) The full strength of the Combine Empire is never seen.

Unfortunately there isn't much on the Gmod workshop to pull from, other than basic units and a few vehicle AI.

Basically, the gunship AI is stuck floating to the middle of the map at all times. I wasn't sure how I could make them look cool when all they do is sit at one spot, so instead I spawned a ton of them way off to the side, and recorded them as they all flew to that center point. I actually have no idea how to make them fly around naturally, so that's all I did. The map is called bigcity_improved, and maybe that might have affected it a little too. I dunno. Quick edit- the dropship landing on the highway was actually piloted by me, using a wonderful addon called Airwatch.

[@midgerm]

fresh comment because i understand that not everyone will know this it dosent matter what the cannon strength of a specific unit is, it only matters how they are CODED to act and react in gmod take the strider for example; it fires a basic weapon at infanty but is coded to use its main cannon attack in specific circumstances: the basic bullet attack is just that, coded as a bullet, against another strider it would have no effect for example beacuse of another thing that is coded the armour and health of the unit: you can code a unit to regen health as soon as it takes damage or, like the strider, code it to behave like a tank - bullets will have NO effect on it but explosives will and are the only way to kill it thats why the scarab can kill the strider - its still plasma its firing but the CANNON firing the plasma is coded to fire "Explosive" type ammo it looks like plasma, it sounds like plasma, but it behaves like an explosive rocket the energy sword is another thing to consider: its coded to deal am immense amount of damage, the normal HP for a unit is 100 - i'd say the sword is coded to deal 1000 damage so ensure it insta kills when it connects; to keep it in line with how it acts in the halo games a good example is the likes of the Kill la KILL and rwby SNPC's - they move fast and hit hard and are hard to kill because of how they are codded they have like 2000 or 3000 health and regen it VERY quickly, as soon as you hit them, their health starts rapidly going back to full and their attacks are coded to deal immense damage so if the likes of say an elite with an energy sword went toe to toe with them he'd die because he has the shield and health but they dont regen and its set at only 100 to 200 to make them more in line with how they are in halo games, obviously the weapon that deals 7000000000 damage is going to kill anyone and also you can code how accurate somthing is: oobviously the universal union, or the combine as they are also known, would lose in that regard because half life was all about the player being this unstopable force - they cant aim for shit but you can as the player - and all that fancy armour they wear? its for intimidation purposes more or less. they arent coded to actually be bullet sponges despite being clade in layers of ballistic resistent armour halo units would win easily in this regard because while they do indulge the player being this force to be feared, so are the covies jackal snipers on halo 2 legendary anyone? you'll be dead before you realize your being targeted the covies arent like the combine, the covies actually have some decent health and armour on them, in lore and in game and they arent the two year olds that just found daddys gun, they are veterans who have been trained all their lives with how to use their weapons effectivly - they can fire and move, they aim well you could even code the scarab to be as weak and easy to kill as a metro cop if you wanted, just tell the game that its "tank like exterior" is actually "weak flesh" and give him 50 HP the reason that the likes of the scarab and the strider act and sound like walking tanks is both the code and the visual the visual aspect is, isntead of a fleshy noise and bloody impact, you get a metal ting and a metal dent, and the code as mentioned is told that "this is armour, only explosive type damage will hurt it, bullets wont work at all" thw two working toegther give us the walking tank we see you CAN change either one and get a different outcome you can change the appearance as mentioned, to give the strider and scarab a fleshy impact and bloody splash to tell the game "this is flesh" but leave the code to how they react to daamage alone and they will be a giant walking meat mech that wont die unless you use bombs same goes for the reverse as mentioned: tank like exterior but STILL dies if you hit it with a crowbar because its got low HP and is coded to be sucseptible to none-explosive damage this is a breif exmaple of what i mean exterior: metal damaged by: explosive type only HP: low; 10- 20 damage dealt: bullet and explosive strider exterior: metal damaged by: explosive type only HP: meduim; 40 - 70 damage dealt: explosive scarab exterior: flesh damaged by: bullets and explosives HP: low; 10 - 20 damage dealt: melee and bullet metro cop exterior: flesh damaged by: bullets and explosives HP: meduim to high; 80 - 140 damage dealt: melee and explosive hunter (the combine ones) if you change what they can be damaged by they can die to different things like what happens if you change only 1 thing in the strider or the scarab tanks code? this is a breif exmaple of what i mean exterior: metal damaged by: bullets and explosives HP: low; 10- 20 damage dealt: bullet and explosive strider exterior: metal damaged by: bullets and explosives HP: meduim; 40 - 70 damage dealt: explosive scarab now the strider and scarab can die to a pistol or machine gun fire

The combine holds an unknown number of planets, *and dimensions* its likely what we see in half life is such a miniscule amount of force to them that the main force barely even noticed when earth was taken back from their dominion, as evidenced by earths combine forces being left to essentially rot after the portal collapse. The combine had bigger fish to fry. Its hard to say, but based on the combines universe conquering status I would say they are the likely winner by numbers alone.

[@moronicalmeister]

Now that I think about it, the covenant completing their goal of activating the rings would do little to stop the covenant either, as the effects of the halo are confined to one universe.

[@AntiCitizen2]

Just wait until you see how powerful the combine really is

[@Mulaswrld]

Could you try CIS vs Covenant or Republic vs Combine next time, or vice-versa? I tried making these NPC battles but my PC is a potato.

[@Degrice068]

I have indeed considered using the Star Wars factions for one of these battles. I'd like to avoid repeated use of the same factions, though, so I don't know if I want to use the Combine again. Either way it's something I do have on my videos-to-make bucket list.

Theyre called the universal union for a reason ladies and gents

[@quempire2656]

It’s actually not called universal Union it’s just combine

There is no way we can know the true result, their mechanics and I.A for example.. that covies aren't acting like thenselves.. also elites armor recharge. And the combine, in a such big battle Between two giant alien empires.. would use the Power of the advisors as well. One thing is sure, it would be the best crossover war ever! We also can't measure the types and amount of damage their weapons would do, translating to each other's universes. And there is the fact that humanity in the Halo universe are way more capable of fighting aliens.. and even tho they are more capable.. the covies still give then hell. Of course.. we don't know all of what the combine has outside of earth that they could throw.. but the reminant forces on earth have their days counted.

[@Degrice068]

Agreed, hopefully others who watch this can understand that too.

How'd you make the scenes where they walk around? Like in the beginning and when actual combine soldiers appear out of the container?

[@disneylover6408]

I half-expected to see Dr Breen and Eli Vance shaking hands, agreeing to a temporary truce between the human resistance and the Combine Empire against the Covenant at the end

[@lordx1067]

Not sure if you’ll see this but I downloaded all of the mods in the description for the covenant and for some reason they just stand still, do you know how to fix this?

[@Degrice068]

As far as I'm aware, the mods I listed are correct. So, maybe the map you spawned them on doesn't support AI navigation? There are a lot of maps that don't support certain NPC movement. You can spawn them in a basic map like gm_construct, and if they work there, then the problem was probably caused by the map used them on. I haven't used those NPCs for a few months, so maybe there's something new that I don't know about.

[@LCFNTF]

Does anyone know what the first maps name is? I used to have it but got rid of it. Now, I got a huge wave of nostalgia.

[@Degrice068]

It is gm_vyten.

Hey sorry that I’m late but quick question why were the Nova Prospect guards and Civil Protection in there I don’t have a problem with it I just wanna know why. Also great video one of my favorite G Mod NPC Wars of all time

I just wanted to use as many of the combine variants as I could. I think it's more interesting if there are different kinds of combine to look at. Also, thank you
