I don’t think there were direct conflicts. Combine could just spam head crabs and weather warfare until human got exhausted, then they came into play as a savior, lying they were here to help
correction: the seven hour war didn’t happen immediately after the black mesa incident, no. Instead there was a Xenian invasion FIRST, then the combine came around 5 weeks after due to detecting the portal storms.
Seven Hour War is one of those things I long to know more about. We know the official war lasted 7 hours, but how long was the Portal Storms(days, weeks, months?), how long did it take the nations of Earth to understand they where under attack, how much of the world was taken before the UN surrender, how long did forces/nations that refused the surrender hold out, why is there a big red X over North America in HL:A?
0:02 This is the end of the Garryville all the aliens have devastate entire of the Garryville everyone has no longer to be in survival mode They are in panic mode and they are praying to the God
This is like those scenes where the protagonist would run all the way to the roof top of a building and see civilization being destroyed from a distance
Combine would win easily, the combine owns not 1 not 2 but 7 not galaxies, UNIVERSES. And 7 dimensions. Each containing a unimaginable amount of galaxies each. The combine is basically a type 5 civilisation while the imperium is type 3
Fear, Hate or a Common enemy can unite people way more than any peace deal would. If aliens were to actually invade Earth, it would most likely cause enemies and allies to unite to kill a common enemy. USA, NATO, Russia, China, North Korea, South Korea, Brazil, Argentina, India, Pakistan, Taliban, ISIS, Israel, Palestine and pretty much every human, fighting together as one species
I didn't see anything that made this feel like it was from the Half-Life universe beyond a generic city on fire with AA firing at a sky with no targets to shoot at. Sorry for being blunt. I just don't think the video executed what was claimed in the title.
