Chud The Combine from Half-Life 2 and their dumb lore.

[XXX_SKIBIDISIGMA_XXX]

People always flap their lips saying that the Combine are "Heckin' sadistic and evil!" and are "Most powerful civilization evar! Great scott!", i think they are critically OVERRATED!
You only encounter half of these 8 synths in the Half-Life 2 series.

And the Overwatch millitary, who also have helicopters and APC's that shoot missles, a dope-ass dark energy rifle (the AR2) and a sniper rifle aswell, not as impressive as the synths.

You are probably thinking right now "Why are you so mad? Aren't the Combine so cool? Look at their power!" and i agree with you they are very cool, but this is IT, this is all we ever get to see of the Combine, this is ALL of what we have to go off of.
And thats why i'm displeased at people who talk about how the Combine have "conqured many many universes" and are "powerful beyond your wildest beliefs", becuase you are literally just taking their word for it as is! You aren't being concerned ot doubtful of all about their true power, you are just mindlessly accepting that they have conqured universes! From what i see in the Half-Life 2 saga i don't see the potental to conquer universes and yet they just happen to have conqured universes, astagfirullah.
Yes, i am aware that what we fight in Half-Life 2 is just a small garrison, a minute piece of the Combines true power, but that makes it worse since this small chunk of a greater Combine is all we have to go off of, and that's bad becuase it means we simply cannot visualize the power of the Combine, and that's bullshit becuase what Valve are saying by making the Combines true powerful hard to visualize is that "They are more powerful becuase... becuase they just are OKAY????", what a load of ASS!
Compare this to Cybertronians, Astro Toilets, the Nihilanth's ailen army from Half-Life 1 and other fictional millitaries and you have two outcomes for the Combine:
-You use the Combine's weak, Earth-focused garrison and they lose to the other fictional armies.
-You use the ENTIRE Combine and they win becuase they just HAPPEN to be very powerful, necuaee they just HAPPEN to have synths that no one has ever seen before tahts are super ultra mega powerful, they don't HAVE this power, they just HAPPEN TO HAVE all that power.
What a load of ASS! Astagfirullah.

You "know" they have that capability because they took over earth in seven hours, it's not just "because they are". And humanity still has to fight tooth and nail against what the small army they left on earth.

This true, it's why i believe that during the Seven Hour War the Combine used synths that we simply do not fight in the HL2 games (Crab synth's and Mortar synth's) and have access to synths that we have never seen ever in the entire Half-Life series, insanely powerful synths with technology and abilities that surpass our realm of knowledge.

And humanity still has to fight tooth and nail against what the small army they left on earth.

We must understand that humanity has no more armies to claim as their own except for the Lambda Rebel forces (who are essentially insurgents/freedom fighters), humanity has been greatly weakened ever since the Seven Hour War.
This is why the Combine send in their lesser synths and technology (even if the synths and tech they send are very powerful).
