The combine are likely a result of the black mesa incident, the advisors came in, with the technologyt they shaped with their xen abilites, and kidnapped humans, then turned them against the human race. If it can implode a barrel and hold people in midair, it can probably easily dominate other xen species. In episode 2, one newborn advisor is shown to effortlesssly implode a metal barrel with it's psychic antenna. then, WHO started the combine army? WHO would be powerful enough to create such an army? The theory doesn't make sense, the combine aren't seen interacting with advisors in any way and (yes I read the wiki) the combine soldiers are either CPs who proved outstanding or the past military on earth that was recycled into combine. Resource gathering and building style will look familiar to players of the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, and the game won't be foreign to anyone with experience in the genre.Originally posted by The trumpster:Civil Protection are humans who volunteered to work for the combine, and apparently, according to someone saying at the beginning about joining CP for better food, it is clear that CP get way better life quality than citizens.Īlso, i have a theory: The combine are humans brainwashed and cloned by advisors, the advisors have supernatural xen-like abilities, so it would make sense if they controlled the combine. Technically Lambda Wars is a mod for Alien Swarm-a free-to-play top-down shooter Valve released in 2010-but that game's engine has been overhauled and made into a fresh real-time strategy game here. But this is more than a Half-Life-themed skin slapped on another RTS engine. Because the game is a mod built in Valve's Source engine, it's completely free.Īt its core, Lambda Wars follows conventional RTS wisdom: Build a base, gather resources, train an army, annihilate your opponent. After surviving the Greenlight process earlier this year, Lambda Wars was released on Steam last week. The amazing mod puts a real-time strategy game within the world of Half-Life 2, pitting human Rebels against the alien Combine race in a battle for survival. Lamba Wars answers the question of what happens when you build a real-time strategy game in one of the most celebrated, beloved game universes ever created.
