He's support only because his enemies are supposed to hide behind obstacles, and he's too heavy to chase them from corner to corner. But since zombies don't know how to take cover...
Machine-guns are very efficient at killing people. That's why people stay down, thus making them less effective at killing people, but more effective as support.
Even tho it feels somewhat flawed in health and strength ranges on the Combine, I must say the animations look flawless and eye realistic. Valve always been good with stuff like that. Rather interesting to see how many animations they programmed these AI. From the injured limping to the rubbing a foot on the floor to establish a better grip to even kicking off opponents of the stairs.

Lessons learned: -Grunts actually fight well. Position them well. -Captains need to fire from a distance. They are there only to lead. -Chargers suck against hordes. Use them as bodyguards to Squad Leaders or to take down smaller groups. -Suppressors are amazing. Have two. They'll mow down all the hordes. -Avoid the damn plastic barrels at all costs.

The Grunts do best at killing these "zombies". The Captains give orders to nonexistent grunts which makes them get hit way too much at the start. The Heavies (Chargers) are just absolute dog crap, you'd think their "heavy" weapon would instantly take out both headcrab and "zombie" but it doesn't and their shields, they just use it on the smallest targets. And you'd think their heavy armor would allow them to tank more hits but they can't. Suppressors are cool, if they could actually hit and SEE THEM.
The enemies in this game were designed to be up against minimal zombies, with most of their interaction done with the player. That being said, the Chargers are very difficult to kill in a 1 v 1 fight. They do medium (but very high to a player) damage at a relatively slow pace, making them the worst possible units for dealing with hoards.
Chargers are probably supposed to handle anticitizens like Alyx by pressuring the player with the threat of a shotgun blast to the face, forcing the enemy to focus on it versus the langer range units. That's why they have the shield, so they can get close.

When the suppressor shot behind him I just couldn't. All of the other combine have at least reasonable bullet deviation, but suppressors don't care which way there gun faces; they just wanna clap some zombie cheeks
My main issue is they spawned them in a place with objects in the way which made it hard for them to get to the combine which was annoying like sure they are dumb and slow so it would take awhile to get to them anyways but it clearly affected the results having so many just stuck on shit meanwhile they get shot down from the other side it was a fuck up for sure.

Lmao at 23:19 when that head crab leaps and hits the bar and and it's leg catches it so it ends up spinning upside down and gets stuck on its back due to being wedged against stuff is just great. Source 2 is a crazy engine, cant wait to see what else is made with it.
A Co-op game where Humans and Combines work together fighting their way in an abandoned earth full of Antilions, Zombies, Lighting dogs,Headcrabs many more, we could choose what class we want, Chargers,Captains,Grunts,Gordon,Eli,Alyx,Russel, Barney and characters having special skills, Grunts- Grenades Captains- Manhacks Chargers-Shield Surpressors- Increase Accuracy Gordon- Damage increase Eli- Distraction Russel - Calling Drones Alyx - Calling Dog
Neat how they all have the own sort of personality. For example, the captain likes to be neat and kills the headcrab after taking down the host when possible, and prioritizes them as much as the zombies. They also use cover and distance as much as they can
I think the Captains were put at an inherent disadvantage with how clumped together they were and their location. They were trapped in that little Area while Zombies easily overwhelmed them.
8:08 That start with the Combine packed so close together doesn't seem that fair. One of them was being immediately struck by zombies and one of them didn't want to shoot his buddies.
Ya know, if you look at the strengths and failures of these units, the direction they were taken in Half-Life 2 would make sense. For instance: Grunts are surprisingly effective given their light kit, Captains aren't as effective due to their bulkier kit, split the difference to create the standardized Overwatch Soldier. I think it's just a coincidence, but it's a fun thought.
You give the zombies too high of an expectation. They're slow, and they have only melee attacks (I think, idk) The Combine have guns, ranged weapons. Now do you understand?
Yeah youre a fucking idiot. Lets put me and you to fight. Youre a combine, im a zombie. I have 5 other zombies with me. You are 2 meters away, and in a place where you cant retreat. We slowly come to you, and youve lost the fight. You cant kill all of us.

that plastic became a killing weapon of all combines but one worthy one, that one suppressor who survived the death machine

Supressor: Aimbot and cone resistant
21:40 Combine Captain:*Ight, ima head out*
19:07 Here we observe the rare and fascinating Supressor mating ritual.
15:08 accidentally shot his own unit in the back
After that he shot him again to check if he is dead :DDDD
Special mention to the soldier around 19:32 who repeatedly shoots his comrade in the back to the point of blowing up his gastank
I need to see 10 suppressors vs 100 zombies please 🙏
Neat how they all have the own sort of personality. For example, the captain likes to be neat and kills the headcrab after taking down the host when possible, and prioritizes them as much as the zombies. They also use cover and distance as much as they can
2:48 That headcrab felt that kick in the balls so much that it decoupled itself from it's host
Omg lol I didn’t notice that!
That ending in the final Grunt Match was like a bunch of college students dealing with a giant spider in their dorm
16:49
"Whoa, HEY, I saw that Suppressor! You shot in two opposite directions at the same time! you cheater"
19:05 Man, Overwatch wasnt kidding about these reproductive simulations
Yeah but it was supposed to be 'non mechanical'. :^)
@@peekaboo1575that doesnt look very mechanical
12:12 Charger: *The one with more armor than his team*
Also the charger: *Proceeds to die instantly by a funny street barrel*
The bonus round suppressor is the embodiment of "have you tried turning it on and off again?"
I think the Captains were put at an inherent disadvantage with how clumped together they were and their location. They were trapped in that little Area while Zombies easily overwhelmed them.
Also they had schizophrenia and kept doing hand signals to nonexistant grunts.
You put the Chargers too close together, they kept on killing each other
8:08
That start with the Combine packed so close together doesn't seem that fair.
One of them was being immediately struck by zombies and one of them didn't want to shoot his buddies.
Ya know, if you look at the strengths and failures of these units, the direction they were taken in Half-Life 2 would make sense.
For instance: Grunts are surprisingly effective given their light kit, Captains aren't as effective due to their bulkier kit, split the difference to create the standardized Overwatch Soldier.
I think it's just a coincidence, but it's a fun thought.
15:48 Alright, who gave sid a minigun?
charger: hmmm my friend is there but there a zombie in front of him. ahhhh i can make more friends *BANG!*
18:25 Imagine those headcrabs are spiders...now that's grandma's house.
5:27
Combine 1: Oh no! A single Headcrab!
Combine 2: I'm throwing my grenade!
Combine 3: Me too!
Combine 2: It dodged our 10 second fuse grenades!
Combine 1: Empty our weapons into it!
Combine 3: Alright!
1:03 I like how he shot 3 rounds straight into the head of his comrade
Hl:alyx looks absolutely gorgeous but i cant get over how the combine walk and run like they've dookie bombed their pants 12 times over.
I haven’t played Alyx yet.
But I’m already terrified of the oppressors
From 5:16 to 5:43 we've had Gordon Freecrab before we even had HL3
(The way it was dodging stuff was impressive for a crab.)
Always remember, rank privileges come with memory replacement and non-mechanical reproduction simulation. Lmao
19:05 APF Unit, you are awarded 100 sterilised credits, Non mechanical reproduction simulaton
2:55 this game is so realistic, that when the zombie is too close he wards off his head from the zombie
11:26 Excuse me? What? Little headcrab killing Big armoured wallhammer?
What if you didnt put them so close to each other?
This.
You give the zombies too high of an expectation.
They're slow, and they have only melee attacks (I think, idk)
The Combine have guns, ranged weapons.
Now do you understand?
Yeah youre a fucking idiot. Lets put me and you to fight. Youre a combine, im a zombie. I have 5 other zombies with me. You are 2 meters away, and in a place where you cant retreat. We slowly come to you, and youve lost the fight. You cant kill all of us.
GamingAndroid Now that you put it that way, I am a fucking idiot.
Sorry, I forgot the Combine here had no decency to back up, atleast in the middle of a fight.
They also died to props, how does damage work in those things?
Also, pls @ me so I can respond.
If he hadn't put them so close the zombies wouldn't stand a chance, so you need to balance things out.
This would be a cake walk if the combine soldiers were lore accurate
12:05 Ultimate Combine betrayal.😂
