Transhuman Overhaul [Half-Life 2] [Mods] – GameBanana

A small project I've been working on for the past few months that takes parts of various other Combine related skins and puts them into one Frankenstein's monster overhaul. I wanted the officers/soldiers to fit into the lore and actually have a backstory to them; in order to give them more character, rather than just going over the top with the designs.

The following is my reasoning for my chosen skins and a small backstory to them:

Civil Protection: Big, bulky, incompetent. This describes Civil Protection gear. It was never truly meant for intense combat, simply for lording over unarmed civilians. Unfortunately for them, their superiors never thought the denizens of City 17 would form an organized rebellion.Credit goes to Alex Portman for creating the actual assets and clatronix for porting to Half-Life 2

Combine Soldiers/Shotgunners: The backbone of the Combine on Earth, Overwatch groundsoldiers will kill traitorous rebels in the name of the Universal Union to their dying breath, all doing so with gear best suited for their transhuman physic. I already liked the original soldier designs, so I felt Jim's Combine Soldiers V3 was the perfect choice.Credit goes to Shadow_RUN and _Nemez_for the design of the soldier/shotgunners.

Prison Guard/Shotgunners: Prison guards, as you can imagine, would have lower priority compared to the actual soldiers of the Combine, so they would have have worse gear than Overwatch soldiers.Credit goes to Valve for the original model, Thedpfan for the original GB upload, and Shadow_RUN for the eye color of the standard prisonguards.

Combine Elites: I personally think the original Combine Elite has a perfect design, so all I used was an upscale of the original. The Elites act as Dr. Breen's personal guard, so they were never really meant to be outside of the Citadel/other key locations for the Combine, which is why they have a much more sleek and clean design, as compared to the "armed to the teeth" look of the standard Overwatch soldiers.Credit goes to jQueary for creating the upscaled texture.

Combine Elites (Episode 2 file):Following Breen's death and the destruction of the Citadel, the remaining Elites were assimilated under the Advisors and rearmed to better suit the outlands.Credit goes toShadow_RUNand_Nemez_

Stripped Soldier: The stripped soldier is pretty much the same, except it uses the pants of the Overwatch soldiers, the rest was just an HD retexture.Credit goes to Shadow_RUN and _Nemez_for the waist down and snark567 for waist up.

Zombines: Again, not much to say, just the normal zombines with the model of the Overwatch soldiers.Credit goes to Shadow_RUN and _Nemez_

If you'd like a version of the Metrocop without the backpack, or just want the Metrocop on it's own, go and check out it's own GB page!

Installation is like any other mod, just open the zip file and extract the contents into the custom folder of Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Update, or MMod.
