That doesn't look like a Combine soldier in HL2.


Take this soldier:
darken him
remove the glowing eyes and give him a stun stick

There were soldiers with more black uniforms, and there are stun sticks in HL2 (which bear a resemblance to this stun stick, this one appears a bit longer)

I was going to thumbnail it , but imageshack is being a bugger and won't load up for me right now.

You honestly can't see the similarity?
Its not a 1:1 copy of the combine soldier but it appears they took some pieces of different uniforms and gave them the very weapon they're presented with in HL2 (more unique than a generic gun)

Yeah Ultraviolent clearly rips off HL2 even though it started filming in early 2004 and HL2 didn't come out until late 2004. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370032/business Rolling Eyes

Jesus fucking christ, they look as much as eachother as they look like a SWAT guy, they're in uniform and proctetion, thats it. And the stun rod doesn't look the same at all, In HL2 it's solid with a blue halo just beneath the top, here it's consist of 5/6 smaller rods. So quit it, and btw it's totally nonsense to discuss this, cuz look long enough these days, and anything will resemble something else.

True. But really come on now. The script was in the works before HL2 was even announced and shown off. I highly doubt the writer/director was saw a screenshot of HL2 and was like "MY SOLDIERS WILL LOOK LIKE THAT!!"

Either way.

I was pleased with Equilibrium (despite the made for TV feel I got) and am looking forward to this one. I think the director likes the Orwellian themes


Yes, I am this nerdy Stop by and say hello

And Eminem stole his music from Populus.. I've been told by an EA Games representative (They bought bullfrog) that it's called "to sample"... It's nothing more than a 100% ripoff.. EA told me not to do this but wtf, here you go.. listen to it! http://tinyurl.com/9sol9
