Probably already mentioned but combine solidiers refer to antlions as biotics. Anyone with gcfscape should listen to prison_solidier_freeman_antlions. They refer to freeman as having full command and control of biotics.
 
"We have untaged biotics!"

"Alert. Contact status zero with land/sea intercept team. Possible anticitizen one reinfection. All Nova Prospekt stabilization delegates move to hard point."

"Incursion warning. Airwatch reports possible anticitizen Freeman reacquired zone Nova Prospekt. Ground units deprioritize exogen containment. Hold for override code."

I'm still trying to figure if biotics is specific for antlions, or just all natural creatures.
 
It leads me to wonder if the weaponized life forms (headcrabs in canisters) were in fact “tagged” by the combine.
 
I think Exogen containment just means any alien trying to get in
 
My guess is that Biotics refers to all hostile life forms and Exogens are Ant lions specifically.

Now we just need some...ANTIBIOTICS!
If you go through the sounds from the source sounds.gcf you’ll find that the combine use medical code words to refer to military operations. Such as cauterize the area etc….

Nah, biotics sounda like a name, exogen sounds like anything from "outside".
 
Biotics=Antlions, headcrabs, chumtoads, snarks, baby shocktropers (spore launcher from OP4), thonets (ie hivehands), shock roachs and any other lifeforms that are used as weapons I suppose.

Antlions aren't used as weapons. Gordon uses them as allies, with the help of his bugbait. Besides how informative would it be to say "We're being attacked by soldiers!"? I think a message would sound "We're being attacked by Combine Soldiers", or "We're being attacked by U.S. soldiers!".
 
I most certainly used them as weapons and not allies, hell I even shot a few of them myself for the laugh.
