So what kind of crazy super technology does the Combine use for the choppers ?

[Hellrider]

How do they have both infinite ammo machine gun AND an infinite amount of mines?

 

[Berkman]

It's the combine, they can do whatever they want

 

[Barnz]

It's a video game.

 

[Hellrider]

I'm not complaining,just asking :bounce:

 

[Rapstah]

The machine gun is powered by electricity and the mines are grown from plants hanging below the chopper.

Use your imagination.

 

[Hellrider]

Cloaked container ?

 

[Sanford476]

Cloaked container ?

or maybe something similar to the unit that makes the Magnuson devices?

 

[Hellrider]

That would mean the Combine have the teleport technology of humans.

 

[Rapstah]

I thought the Nova Prospekt teleporter clearly established they do.

I say the bombs are manufactured within the craft, possibly stored at tiny versions until they are fired out, they then expand and become volatile. The gun obviously recharges. Its the same one as is on your boat.

 

[Cheomesh]

I figured the mines expand before dropping. Maybe.

 

[Planetary]

Size of an orange before leaving helicopter, expand once they contact air somehow.

 

[Chug a Bug]

It's magic. The pilot waves a wand, and bam, a hold full of fresh mines.

Seriously, just enjoy the game.

 

[Nitre]

Nothing wrong with theories. Makes it more fun when you aren't playing the game to think how the combine do stuff.

 

[Cheomesh]

Though I do agree with the OP that it is sorta strange they have so many mines.

 

[McCoy]

1. It's the combine.

2. It's called Gabe. Wave goodbye as he ain't gonna let you get in the way of a great gameplay experience.

*Half life game where chopper has unlimited ammo and mines*

Half life where chopper drops 4 mines and fires 6 rounds, then hovers there till you kill it*

Which one you wanna play?

 

[McCoy]

The second one please.

 

[Cheomesh]

Nah I was thinking it would have been cooler if it dropped some hopper mines, then fired missiles (limited) and (unlimited) chaingun rounds.

 

[Jintor]

They're thinking with Portals.

 

[Cheomesh]

They're thinking with Portals.

Hmmm... *thinks with them too*

*gets his long desired extra cheese and mushroom pizza*

 

[Hellrider]

They can make the chopper bigger, like, much bigger

 

[Narvi]

The Combine helicopter maintains an interuniversal link with an off-universe mine factory with built in teleport which refreshes its mine load every second.

He stole mah theory!

 

[Jintor]

Like the Magnusson device-teleporters (Man, I loved those things) but... interdimensional. :/

Srsly, each chopper has to be powered by a Dark Energy Reactor. :/

 

[Lightice]

Time Lord technology - it's bigger on the inside. :thumbs:

The choppers haven't used the missiles since BME..It's not fair..
