Lambda Wars (formerly Half-Life 2: Wars) brings the struggle between the human resistance and their Combine overlords to a multiplayer real-time strategy setting. The Lambda Wars beta only requires Alien Swarm installed to play. It features 3 multiplayer game modes: Sandbox, Annihilation and Overrun, showcasing the Rebels and Combine playable factions and a full-fledged RTS interface and HUD. There is also a singleplayer tutorial and a handful of singleplayer missions.

Cool idea! When the post trucks for Alliance (armored personnel carrier, the helicopter "Hunter", attack, air conveyor)?

Would be cool if their original design was different.

Those shields don't seem to protect the most important part, their head. There should probably be glass between the two sides at the very top, and maybe there should be small port-holes on the sides so that they can be much closer but still have guns able to peek out.

That is true, but those gas-masks seem decent head protection.

well the original beta versions of these guys used some kind of energy shielding so its safe to assume that something similar is being projected around said shield which is the power source.

Did you get this from Gausswerks form Deviant Art? Because I've seen this metrocop riot shield in his art work. I love his work! Please tell me you collaborated with him! Because that would be awesome!

Yes I asked Gausswerks for the permission to use his concept art.
Also there is glass, but because of our lightning engine, transparent objects do not render. I hope we will find a way to fix it.

And now if you'll all let me, I want to suggest some recommendations. Here's a list of ideas you can use and would still technically fit into the cannon of the story.

- Metro Police Outlawed Units

They are from the Metro Police unit and was completely loyal to the combine regime until they betrayed them and left
them for dead when they decided to destroy the city with them in it. Angered, they joined the Resistance. Now all
their weapons, units, vehicles, technologies are available to the Resistance.

- Combine Units from the Beta version of Half Life 2

This list includes:
- Combine Assassin - Half-life.wikia.com
- Combine Guard - Half-life.wikia.com
- Combine Cremator - Half-life.wikia.com
- Combine Super Soldier - Half-life.wikia.com
- Combine Mortar Synth - Half-life.wikia.com
- Combine Crab Synth - Half-life.wikia.com
- Combine Elite Synth - Half-life.wikia.com

- Combine Synth Units

This list includes:
- Combine Synth Soldier - Steamcommunity.com
They use Flechette guns
- Combine Synth Headcrab - Img05.deviantart.net
Able to go into a crowd of Headcrab Zombies without being attacked by them. They are under your control, and
they can guide Headcrab zombies away from your units.
-Combine Synth Gonarch - Img13.deviantart.net
When the Combines took over Xen, they mechanicalized the Gonarch into a giant carrier tank with legs. Able to
ram down large amount of enemies and carry troops in and out of battles.

- Exiles of Xen

Following the total take over of Xen, these exiles went to form a rebellion to over throw the combine overlords.

- Grunts - Wiki.blackmesasource.com
- Gargantua - Wiki.blackmesasource.com
- Controller - Wiki.blackmesasource.com
- Shock Trooper - Half-life.wikia.com

And so concludes the units I would like to see. And also make a mac version of this mod!
