Synth

[Jandor]

More specifically. Crab and Mortar Synths.

what do you think these two Synths do? How do they attack? How hard are they to kill? etc.

 

[Angry Lawyer]

Crab Synths have a gatling gun in their belly - it unfolds in the walk animation.

The Mortar Synth had an attack that would launch a number of different grenade-like projectiles - "Grenade_Beam" and "Grenade_Energy". I'm not truly sure what they look like, or how they hurt, but the code for the projectiles were left in the code.

From the Half life 2: Walkthrough:

Although these things are like the stalkers, you have only the briefest glimpse of these strange and inhuman contraptions. It is worth studying these previously unseen combine forces: self repicating and parts-replicating synths, the backbone of the combines subsequent armies. Crab synths, with thier sharp mandibles, are close quarter ripping fiends, while mortar synths use biomechanical armaments and shells to weak havoc

Its possible

The Synth Elite Soldiers were humans clad in Synth armour, if I remember. That'd mean they'd need people. So, it's unlikely they fought in the 7 hour war.

The Combine Elite was riginally desinged as as existing Combine creature, something akin to a small bipedal strider, grafted into the proportions of a huamn...

[Angry Lawyer]

Fair play. I read it wrong then.

[Asknoone]

Be ashamed of yourself.

 

[Angry Lawyer]

Well, here's to admitting when I'm wrong. If there's ever evidence to say I am actually wrong, then I'll agree.

[Sufferin-rebel]

hmm possibly but it cant be the Synth armor is a different color? i dont see why the combine would Repaint it, Fashion isnt in a High list of priority

 

[Asknoone]

No thats the old combine elite, thats not what he is talking about. He's talking about old concepts.

 

[Antlion Hunter]

Looks like it.And there is probably a pretty good reason for repainting it.

 

[Angry Lawyer]

There were two co0ncepts for the elite. The white one is in Raising the Bar. The sand-coloured one exists in Model Viewer. Intriguingly, the sand-coloured one is covered in hair.

They are. In the PC GAMER article Laidlaw mentions that on your way out of the citadel you get up close and personal with some of the creatures you witnessed in half life 2 on your ascent to Breens office.

Something like that.

"Some" meaning one, and "creatures" meaning stalkers...
Hope they do anyway...
