  2. No one posted on here. I don't know why. It is such a great premise. Maybe you can have the regular OTA be another defending force. I think OTAs turning back to humanity would be a great event and constant passive Roleplay. It would also provide a great sanctuary area where the regular non-ex Ota cannot get to.

    Good Luck with your idea. Have fun!

    Edit:
    Just thought of another great idea for you. Use the TnB Anim's Fixed on Steam
    You can make character's look like this.

    I tried to use it for a Nexus Worker who isn't MpF on some servers. They never wanted to download the package and fully take the opportunity they had with it.

    that idea makes no sense
    not only are ota reliant on the combine due to a removal/replacement of their digestive system, but i assume they are incapable of going against their creators due to implantation

  4. Citation please. I'll give mine about what I can actually retrieve. Rather then asspulling some facts.

    The only thing stopping an OTA Squad from going rouge is that they probably ** Not sure so don't quote me ** would have to keep getting mind wipes. Synthesizing amnesia is probably not perfect and far from it, requiring the possibility of weekly if not daily.
    It is also noted that due to an extensive brain wipe, they have no previous memories of their human life and that they are incapable of resisting, disobeying orders, and going rogue.

    I took a look at Wikipedia for some notes about it. For as much as we know in the medical field. It can be temporarily caused by uses of sedatives and hypnotic drugs.

    I also took a look at Drug Induced Amnesia. Stealing this quote: The use of a drug to erase traumatic or unwanted memories used to be referred to as "science fiction."

    when you look at the stripped overwatch soldier, you can see a port on his right side. i assume this would preform a similar function to the stalker's port, which is to provide nutrients due to the removal of part or all of the digestive system.

    [​IMG]
    Plus, it would make logical sense to remove the digestive system due to the combine not serving normal food.
     
  6. Sure you've shown me that he has a modification @ his abdomen but you have not shown me a quote, citation, or source of information. If anything those could be simply genetically modified organs that make it so that way he can produce his own proteins to be more muscular. It could also be what actually connects him with his suit but because it isn't 'Sourced' I can never agree with you about it.

    so you're basically saying "it doesnt say it directly so im right"
    wouldnt it be more efficient to give you one big vat of "food" to give both your enslaved soldiers and worker slaves? the soldiers dont give a flying fuck what they are given to sustain themselves.
    the purpose of the digestive system is to supply nutrients to something. the combine has found a way around that. wouldnt it be logical to remove the unnecessary organs and possibly use the space to, idunno, give you more armor? or do something with it?

    it's not a question of sourcing, its a question of logic.

    btw, with the "connected to your suit" shit, how would you know that the suit even has a connection to the wearer? i see no reason to have the suit connected to a soldier.

    we are discussing the logic behind a suggestion for the community

    anyway, wouldnt it make more sense for the combine to basically ota-ify the mpf/cca rather than killing them off?
     
  10. Nah we just stop this argument here. It is ruining this page for others. Thanks @SirMush
     
  11. The Dovahneer

    The Dovahneer i can change my title

    ok
    the issue i raised with the mpf/cca/ccc thing is still there, though.
     
  12. They don't OTAify every single unit in HL2 even thoguh they want to. It most likely takes a long period of time and a decent resources to create one soldier. Apparently with this canon they already made their profit and are ready to get out. For whatever reason they don't want to just let them starve and choke to death so they decide to use the OTA to murder them all. Spending time and resources on units they may or may not take with them may be a waste of the Unions time.
     
  13. The Dovahneer

    The Dovahneer i can change my title

    they don't OTA every unit in HL2 because the MPF/CCA/CP is both a police force and something which gives the citizens a perceived opportunity to advance, therefore allowing them to integrate themselves into the combine
    with that done, why wouldnt the combine just heard up all the mpf units they can and convert them into ota?
    idk, killing them off seems like a waste of resources to me

  14. I see where you are coming from. The OTA thing can be perceived in alot of different ways. Though in the game you can kill an EOW with a crowbar and the Spas 12 have two barrels. It may be gameplay over lore in this case. To be fair you are nitpicking a bit.
     
  15. In order to end this debate. There is really one way to put it. You can have your beliefs enforced on a server but never say that it is 'Lore' or quotable. You haven't a clue where you picked up this information and if so that source isn't really a credible developer Writer/Valve Employee. I've actually asked some Indie Game developers at my school how would they make CW: HL2RP. They simply stated that it should be making the 90% enjoy it. That 90% should be the civilians. They didn't specify whether that roleplay should be aggressive or passive. . . They just said "Have fun with it" so if we could all just have fun with Half Life 2 RP. Trying to make it enjoyable for the playerbase and not the staff and OFFICIALLY drop the Lore debate and instead do practical, realistic, and finally enjoyable for all. That would shut me the fuck up.

    you say you want "realistic", yet my /entire argument/ is based off of realism and logic.
    the thread maker asked for criticism, i gave him criticism. stop trying to act like the white knight.
     
  17. "All autonomous units, accept mandatory sector assimilation. Co-ordinate constriction underway. Debride and cauterize. Entering Phase nine, enhanced compliance. Deploy advisory control and oversight. Submit and be subsumed."

    "Vital alert. Autonomous units subsumed. Mandatory compliance with all tenets of advisorial assistance act. Threat level adjustment. Probe. Expunge."

    I'm not sure as to what relevance these hold towards Civil Protection units or overwatch, but it does seem to hint at it ordering any left over forces from the Civil Protection to assimilate.

    Also this looks like a fun idea.
     
  18. The Dovahneer

    The Dovahneer i can change my title

    i would assume that relates to ota units without directives or command due to the citadel being fucked being called under command of the advisors

  19. We need to just ignore him. It's like trying to reason with my cat. I take that back. At least my cat gets off the counter if someone tells him to.

  20. No debating with you is like debating with a creationist. No matter how much I will pull from the evidence drawer. I will get knocked down by anyone if I tell them that this 'Lore' source says nothing about what they are talking about. I am not always right but at least I try to source it or cite it when I am at my fullest attempt to be. You guys just pull this information straight from the void. So as the vortigaunt says "To the void with you!"

    Edit: Source your information and I will totally be on your side and very... very wrong. You can humiliate me. Till then you are just the bloody ignorance that Half Life 2 RP has caused so many to leave with.
