Is everyone forgetting that the forces ruling earth are nothing more but a local garrison. The Combine utilizes dark energy rounds that produce more exotic plasma compared to the Covenant’s weaponry. They can literally tear Chief apart

Eh, Why don't you use the Half-Life 2 Beta Version instead of the retain version in this fanfiction?

Good chapter.
Hope those IFF are Blue Team.

Exciting.

I do wonder what they would think of the Citadel AI, stalkers, and what lies beneath a Combine Commander's helmet.

Well the combine is doomed. Chief is here. And if the Infinity somehow finds a way here, then...…...yeah.

Oh shiz! Sweet story! And well written!

Not bad, though Chief looks a bit too human. Also, there's an error closer to the end of the chapter: FSB is national security, not intelligence or counterintelligence. The former are GRU and SVR, and the latter - depends on the circumstances (FSB can do it, but it's only a small part of their field of work).

I'll be liking this.

Though, I do wonder what the real Combine would think of this. Would they just leave Earth alone or continue on?

Since Chief is the luckiest son of a gun alive, then he might take them on.

And now, I'm thinking. The Universal Union Vs. The Covenant

Awesome intro
Looking forward to more.
