WHO

IS

DEADLIEST?!

The Combine Overwatch




''The Combine Overwatch is the main fighting force of the alien empire, Combine. They also act as a police force and foreman over the enslaved humans of earth. In order to lessen the amount of resistance, the Overwatch organize human citizens into tightly packed cities. The force utilizes advanced alien-technology like aerial dropships and force shields. Using blitzkrieg-like tactics, the Overwatch are strong in large numbers. Their primary enemy include The Resistance, a group of humans who defy the Combine Empire who use the weapons of the past, compared to the futuristic arsenal the Overwatch possess. There are four main subclasses to the army: the Civil Protection (or "Metropolice"), Overwatch Soldier, Overwatch Sniper, and Overwatch Elite(as well as various other Synths).''













''ADVENT was an organization that collaborated with the aliens, years after the first international-government-funded XCOM failed to repel the aliens' invasion. They're the main enforcers for the aliens, to the human world, and have manufactured many things throughout their existence. From advanced weapons to even a type of fast food, ADVENT was commonly trusted by the general community, in terms of keeping them safe. They're XCOM's primary enemies in the early stages of their resistance career, but later, they became stronger, gaining more equipment, and they usually supported the aliens. Although ADVENT might be a powerful adversary for XCOM, seemingly, they later perished after XCOM revealed the truth, and won against the aliens themselves.''

''ADVENT has a wide variety of troops which work closely with alien forces, there is the standard Troopers, the Officers who can mark enemies as prime targets and posses grenades, Stun Lancers who make use of the shock lance, and the heavily armoured Shieldbearer who can summon energy shields to protect their allies. To combat the undead Lost, ADVENT deploys the Purifiers equipped with flamethrowers and incendiary grenades and Priests who posses Psionic abilities. To support their troops, ADVENT also uses robots, like turrets to defend their bases, MECs for heavy artillery, and Sectopods in extreme situations. ADVENT troops are cloned and are a mix of alien and human DNA.''

Now,for the Units

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">

''Overwatch Soldiers (also known as Combine Soldiers by Citizens, and "Stabilization Teams" by the Overwatch Voice), are the basic transhuman infantry units of the Combine Overwatch, composing the backbone of the Combine's military presence on Earth. In contrast to Civil Protection, whose duties are to enforce order within suppressed population centres, soldiers of the Overwatch are tasked with more hazardous actions requiring skill and tact: from patrolling the treacherous borders of Combine-controlled territory to raiding Resistance-held strongholds.''

As military personnel as opposed to law enforcement, Overwatch Soldiers are given access to military-grade equipment and tactical combat training, making them more formidable opponents than Civil Protection Officers.

Armorments:

Primary Weapon:
 * AR2: The Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, also referred to with its developmental name, AR2, is a weapon found in the video game Half Lifeand its sequel. It is a Dark Energy/Pulse powered rifle developed by the Combine, employed by Overwatch Soldiers and Overwatch Elite, as well as Gordon Freeman once he had defeated either of those warriors.

''It features a 30 round magazine that can be automatically reloaded via a mechanism in the gun, and a single-use Dark Energy Ball shooter built into it. While regular pulse fire is dangerous enough to pierce through advanced armor, Dark Energy violently reacts with any matter it touches, disintegrating whatever it touches. While all Overwatch forces employ this pulse rifle, only the Elite are allows to utilize the energy shooter.'' Seconadry Weapon:         The MK3A2 is the Combine's main explosive besides hopper mines,it beeps which a red flash cordinates with until it explodes,with a relatively small blast radius.

All troopers wear a face-concealing helmet that leaves only the mouth exposed.''

S​​​​ectoid(Aliens)Sectoid2.jpeg
<p style="text-align:center;">''Using an infusion of human DNA, the Sectoid has grown into a much more imposing form than when it was first encountered. They are significantly taller than their Enemy Unknown versions, and now have a visible mouth with teeth. They are still fairly thin though, and their chest still glows. Sectoids use wrist-mounted blasters that are similar to the Plasma Pistols of the original Sectoids, but smaller and seemingly designed for use on the arm instead of merely mounted there. The blasters are handled by the Sectoids in a similar fashion to the original Sectoid Commanders, using them as "last-resort" weaponry when psionic chances are too low or impossible. When first spotting XCOM personnel Sectoids will commonly raise the blaster to their mouth and appear to "speak" into it for a few moments before resuming engagement, suggesting that the device may assume a communications role as well. Sectoids have a medium amount of HP, but no armor.''

Armorments

Weapon: <p style="text-align:center;">The Plasma Wrist is a weapon attached to the wrist of the Sectoid which fires a concintrated beam of plasma

Hunter(Combine Overwatch) Hunter.jpeg
''The Hunter's body and legs are partially encased in an iridescent blue-green carapace. The synth is tripedal, much like the Strider; it has three muscular legs attached to the sides & back of its body, ending in a pair of extremely sharp barbs. On the left side of the Hunter's body are what appear to be three compound eyes, and a pair of vertically aligned fléchette launchers are located on the Synth's front. Located directly underneath the launchers are two small limbs tipped with metal blades for impaling targets, behind those and on the back are two oval shaped orifices. There is also an organ-like body located in the rear right area of the hunter's posterior.''

''Hunters are heavily armored, and take reduced damage from most forms of small firearms. They are also highly mobile, able to easily move out of the way of projectiles.''

''Like all Synths, Hunters possess a number of vocalizations, all of which are shrill, fierce, and slightly electronic. They also appear to leak some sort of white-grey fluid, perhaps blood or blood substitute, when shot.''

''Much like the Sectoid, the Muton's original form from XCOM: Enemy Unknownhas been enhanced with human DNA, creating a new unit that is smaller in raw stature, but no less tough and significantly leaner and more agile. This evolution primarily combines the standard Muton's brute strength with the cunning intellect of the human mind, making the Muton more deadly than ever.''

''Like its predecessor, the Muton remains a favoured frontline unit for the aliens, and carries a variant of the original's Plasma Rifle. These weapons are equipped with bayonets, making them a dangerous foe in close combat.''

''Each Advisor wears a skin-tight olive-green body suit that covers all but the ends of their bodies, with a collar adorned with golden glyphs around their "necks." They also have a pair of thin black robotic arms implanted to their backs, capable of grabbing and lifting an adult human as well as moving the weight of the Advisor. They also have an appendage similar to a tongue in appearance, which is used similarly to a proboscis and is plunged into a weak point, such as the human neck as shown from a scene in Half-Life 2: Episode Two.''

''Combine Advisors have a wide range of odd vocalizations, from robotic growls and groans to loud shouting noises and screeching. Besides their technological prowess, they also appear to possess incredible psychic and telekinetic powers. They are able to communicate with others telepathically as well.''
