not bad video, but i see you over-sighting many things. also not i'll clear-out the thing about Combine's body modifications and all. there are 3 main groups of Combine (some of them have specialisations but that is not important in what im talking) - Civil Protection - (most common in cities, they are the standard force [the ones raiding houses, driving this prison truck Alyx was in, and just the places where or near the places where public had free access to.) Half-Life wiki: "It is important to note that Civil Protection units are not hybrids and are in fact, human." you can eazly know this from HL2 Gameplay, when Barney joined Civil Protection in order to work as a "secret agent" and help gordon freeman avoid rest of the combine. and we can clearly see later in the game, that he looks 100% normal. Also you can see they speak the way they do NOT because they got vocal cords removed, but because of the mask, idk it might have a microphone and a speaker with a voice modulator in between. im not making this up - just play trough the moment when Barney took Gordon to this interrogation room, and said to the cameras in deep, combine voice "we will need some privacy for that" (or sth) and then after taking off the mask, says in much higher, happy voice "Hey!!! Its me Gordon, Barney from Black Mesa!" - Overwatch Soldiers - they are the ones you will find outside of the cities, in places that nobody was supposed to enter. from what i found, they get none or little body modifications, definitely they arent the ones with their whole face removed. - Overwatch Elite - they are found in/near citadel in HL2, or sometimes leading groups of Overwatch Soldiers. i think in Half-Life: Alyx they are protecting the quarantined zone (the one after you open that vault, and free the Vortiguant"), as wiki says "They have undergone extensive modifications", so only they are the ones with bodies have been highly improved in purpose of them being a elite soldier.

At 8:09 those are not combine soldiers. They are civil protection units. unlike Overwatch, they're not trans-human, but regular people who have decided to join the Combine metro police at their will.

the Civil Protection don’t have any modifications. that’s how Barney is both a resistance member and a metro cop.

In HL: A, both Civil Protection and Overwatch were fully human, the only reason why their face looks different is because the mask was sticking onto their face, and when taken off would damage their skin and possibly kill them. This is the same with the Zombine, since the mask is sticking on the Combine's face, when the headcrab is killed and comes off the Zombine you will see the Headcrab ripped off the Combine's head, only the jaw remained. While in HL: 2 only Civil Protection was human.

Best joke made by Alyx vance was the combine zombie, vice versa, which she named the zombine.

Still, i remember that at a Valve conference or something. They said that they didn't want to scare the player. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

2:16 Armored headcrabs don't armor the host body. 4:38 None of the Xen plant life is hostile or grabs you (only barnacles do that). 4:56 None of the fumes are harmful in game and are only hinted at being potentially dangerous. 11:48 Pretty sure the apartments aren't actually in the Vault. Its more likely caused by the Gman in some way. He manipulates reality...explaining the topsy-turvy building structures as you progress to his cell.

Barnacles :HAHAHA I GOT YOU IN MY TRAP! Player: OH SHOOT! Me: Just Cut The Tongue.

"Oh my god, Jeff are you okay?" Then she laughs. Lol I didn't see that part, that's hilarious.

The lightning dog can actually make sense on how they take control of corpses. Muscles rely on electricity to move. So you could be used by them easily.

I know it's supposed to be scary, but trying to kill the headcrab with the door was hilarious

This reminds me that Half Life, Left for Dead, and Portal are connected in the same universe. Aliens invading the city, the infestation of the aliens turn humanity into zombies, and mutated monsters, and then humanity decided to live underground with advance technology, but their main computer “GLADOS” betrayed her creator.

Civil protection are unmodified, grunts aren't as modified as combine soldier, as they do have more human conversations (ex. Stop kicking that). However the extent of modifications of grunts aren't known, they are likely modified in some way but no or little brain modifications.

I didn’t even know Jeff was in the elevator with me when he was lmao

7:11 that isn’t usually what they look like, since you can see on other corpses that, despite not having ears and hair, still retain a normal human head shape. It is likely that that soldier was killed by a poison headcrab or something similar.

More like moments that make Ravenholm look pleasant… also there’s a much creepier image of an unmasked Grunt that show his eyes were removed and replaced with wires to connect to the mask.

The apartment building wasn’t “sucked up”. They found G man in the apartment building and built the vault around it

Small correction. At 8:10, you show Civil Protection officers having a conversation when talking about how Combine soldiers sometimes talk to each other normally.

Metropolice are normal humans working for the Combine Empire, whole Combine soldiers are altered and changed to a point where they aren’t human.
