Vladimir Ivanovich Alexandrovsky, a Russian citizen, was going home by railway when Black Mesa Incident occurred, after which he and his sister were teleported to Xen. They underwent fierce attack from the Vortigaunts and were forced to take the teleporter left by the Combine. They escaped and were sent to the Combine Overworld. The Combine promised to send them back to earth if they join their wars. They did so and the Combine carried out the promise. Later, however, the teleporter was used to invade the earth...

This is our first Overworld map, made by team member xyccmbjx.
Cool.
awesome !! :)
I like it :D
Cool, but there is one but real mistake... Combine don't use human-beings inother worlds except earth. They might use Synths or other creatures belonging to the world where it's placed.
In the Combine Prelude universe, the single-eyed humanoid creatures are not transhuman, just aboriginal people of the Combine Overworld.
To let players believe that these humanoid soldiers were not human you would have to explain a lot, since every hl fan knows this iconic combine enemy is weaponized human mutilation. Game design is hard. You need to convince players that you are delivering new stuffs and not recycling things from the past.
We'll design and make the humanoid creatures no helmet version models.
Yeah, I still don't think they're gonna be convinced by that.
yeah dont make excuses for reusing combine elite soldiers and come up with an original idea, preferably not humanoid
Actually, I must interject here:
The Overwatch A.I, while despite using it as a threat, does tell the soldiers AND citizens that treason WILL result in "Offworld Relocation".
It's more than likely they could be sent to other worlds or even to the Overworld as punishment, where they'd be reconditioned most likely.
It's not hard to imagine they would post the reconditioned guards within the Overworld's bases.
Exactly. If they use striders, hunters and all sort of synths in Earth, why wouldn`t they use modified humans in other planets? Humanoids are very useful in certain situations.
This reminds me of the movie battlefield earth
super!
Looking at this I would say it's some sort of gas mine on Xen, or maybe on the gas giant described by Breen, actually.
This motivated me to make a small mod in the Combine Overworld.
