This is some decent propaganda tbh since it shows a regular white man in Combine uniform giving his hand to a black child which is propaganda against racism created by humans but also propaganda showing the Combine as regular humans, even "progressive" humans which don't see the stereotypes of the old world, altough also showing the transhuman soldiers to be normal humans which in fact is false, the combine soldiers look like monsters under that mask, but showing this friendly face sure may convince one or the other to join up. Originally Half life Alyx was also supposed to have the Original Combine soldier, this is also proven by the fact, that the "Combine Safety" posters in Alyx feature a regular human wearing the uniform of this exact Soldier model. The Combine soldier from Half life 2 is my personal favourite Video game enemy and he is also one of the most iconic game enemies since many gmod modes or animations use him. I personally really like the blue one because the colours are very different compared to other typical colour sets, the regular white and black of the grunt is pretty standard, this blue one looks allot fresher IMHO. These versions were probably all made so someone could choose one he liked ( maybe Gabe himself idk ) so they were probably all meant for the same npc, not different models for different ones. The blue version just has blue were the white version has white, there's no change in colour for anything else and the model is also the same. He also doesn't have the thin orange line seperating the black upper shoulder region from the white overall. First the white grunt, this grunt has a whiter uniform, white faceplate on his gasmask, a differently coloured shapre on top of his helmet and also a white patch of paint on his gastank. The helmet which also seems to have a different texture then the other grunts.īesides the beta grunt there are two other grunts, which were only found due to the gmod porting. Unlike the newer grunts, his lenses are also blue. There's half a circle represeneting the wall and a kind of rocket shaped object ( maybe the vault ) representing the thing that is being quarantined. The beta grunt has only something similiar to that featured on his left torso and shoulder. The regular grunts have a Combine logo on their right arm and another logo, somewhat resembling the Black Mesa logo, altough most likely picturing a object ( the square ) which is quarantined by a wall, so it's maybe their Quarantine troops insignia. He also doesn't share the insignia featured on the arms. The beta model was always seen without a filter on his gasmask in the marketing, in the final game we never see a single Combine without a filter. The beta version has the same model as the others altough still has the most differences. Here you can see all 4 grunt models, the most left one is the beta one, the second from the left side is the regular in-game one, the second one from the right is a whiter version of the regular one and to the right side we have the blue version. This version has been seen allot in Half life Alyx trailers and marketing material, one of the most infamous pictures of the game, the elevator scene were two grunts threaten Alyx, is first seen with these models and the version with these models is the most widespread. The first is the grey version or aka the beta grunt. There are a total of 3 Half life Grunt soldier models, that were cut from the game. The Combine grunt is the most common soldier in Half life Alyx.
