Year 202X: Under Combine Dominion Earth is a shadowy and controlled planet. The once bustling cities are now divided into zones strictly guarded by the Combine.

Combine Reinforcements: Shortly after, the Overwatch Soldiers arrive. Equipped with advanced armor and Pulse Rifle AR2 assault rifles, they deploy energy grenades, causing significant casualties among the rebels.

Escalating Combat: A Strider appears on the horizon, using his pulse cannon to destroy human defensive positions. The rebels, without heavy weapons, are forced to disperse and seek refuge in nearby buildings.

Air Attack: Gunships join the attack, firing their energy cannons from the sky. The factory becomes a hellish battlefield, with debris flying everywhere and alarms ringing all over the place with red emergency lights.

Combine Tactics:Air Superiority: Gunships ensure air superiority, shooting down human helicopters and fighter planes with ease. Dropships transport Combine troops and vehicles behind enemy lines, further disorganizing human defenses.

Coordinated Attacks: Combine attacks are fast and coordinated. Within hours, key strategic points such as communication centers, power plants and military bases are secured.

The Strider is a large, three-legged Combine synth-robot shaped like an arthropod, armed with a pulse machine gun and warp cannon on its hull. Introduced in Half-Life 2, it serves as the Combine's primary heavy ground assault unit.

Striders are capable of pursuing hostiles in both confined streets and open squares, even crouching down to shoot at enemies seeking cover under eaves or in bombed-out buildings.

The Strider's body is covered in a smooth brown carapace or exoskeleton. On the Strider's "head" is a rapid-firing pulse cannon, with a heavier warp cannon suspended below. The Strider's three long legs are tipped with sharp spikes and a rosette of finer, hair-like spines.

While walking or attacking, Striders produce many different vocalizations, such as grunts, groans, screams, and howls; when killed, they emit a mournful cry. Additionally, Striders release a yellow substance when their insides are damaged, and their shell contains a large, human-like brain.

Prior to the Uprising, Striders are often seen patrolling the streets of City 17. After the Resistance fully declares open war on the City, Striders show their full capabilities as heavy support for Overwatch soldiers, using their front-mounted pulse weapon to quickly eliminate rebels. Striders also function as artillery by using their warp cannon to destroy all structures in an area as a means of eliminating all entrenched hostile forces.

The Strider's pulse cannon is a warp cannon mounted on the front of the Strider's shell. The pulse cannon appears to be the Strider's eye, as it moves sporadically as if constantly surveying its surroundings. The second (and by far the most powerful) weapon is a warp cannon mounted on the Strider's belly, below the pulse cannon. This cannon not only causes scenic destruction, but also deals massive splash damage that will vaporize anything near the impact area. Prior to the warp cannon's discharge, a thin blue laser indicates where the Strider is aiming and the space around the weapon warps, bending light as the cannon charges. They are strong enough to launch vehicles into the air. In addition to using long-range weapons, Striders can impale targets with their long legs; any target that is impaled will be instantly killed if they get too close. When a target is impaled while still standing, the Strider will swing its legs to "drop" the target's corpse.

Nova Prospekt is a decaying former prison that, according to Alyx Vance, was transformed into something "far worse" by the Combine.

Before being occupied by the Combine, it was a high-security penitentiary; however, it was later acquired and used as a facility to process and detain citizens who were determined to be a threat - the so-called "anti-citizens". During Half-Life 2, it is used to hold Eli Vance, after he is captured by Vigilante Troopers during a raid on Black Mesa East. Other people held included political prisoners, resistance soldiers, and troublesome citizens. The facility is used to convert prisoners into Stalkers, Vigilante Troopers, Synth Units,

Nova Prospekt is separated into two parts, as seen in the two chapters of the game titled Nova Prospekt (Chapter) and Felting respectively.

The Original Prison
The old part of the building has confinement (something useless for the Combine), facility divisions, offices, and large shower and maintenance rooms.

The Combine probably used the old part of the facility while construction of the new prison was being completed, though it appears to have made little use of this part as only a few guard stations are visible. This section shows many signs of abandonment, such as the "pools" that form in the sub-basements. Some of the less visited corners of the old section do not even contain Barnacles, Headcrabs, and Zombies.

This section of the prison was slowly being absorbed by Combine technology. It should be noted that the large amounts of graffiti found in this area of ​​the prison indicate that humans were still in the facility after the Seven Hour War and its abandonment.

The Combine Depot
The newest section of Nova Prospekt houses the processing facilities used by the Combine to convert prisoners into Stalkers, as well as the technology they own, such as teleports and the machines used to build the Stalkers themselves.

The architecture of this section is an example of the advancement of Combine technology on Earth, seen in the final cutscene of Chapter Nine of Half-Life 2 and later in City 17. This technology, in its pre-development stage, is a massive wall of barriers, cables, and randomly arranged machines.

The Combine has an automated construction mode that allows it to take over virtually any area. This construction mode can be seen in a portion of the old section of Nova Prospekt, where the player walks through rubble with giant walls on either side. As the player progresses through this strange "valley of destruction" the walls can be seen slowly coming together, consuming the old section. Shortly after this cutscene the player enters the train station of the new Nova Prospekt, where the wall can be seen in more detail, the Prisoner Pods can be seen, and the depot is built using the aforementioned technology.

Hunters: Behavior: They are smaller and more agile than Striders and usually act as fast attack units.

Interaction with the Combine: Similar to Striders, Hunters cooperate with Combine soldiers as {{user}}., supporting them in combat and attacking the same enemy targets.

Striders: Behavior: They act as heavy assault units, providing support and destroying enemy structures and vehicles.
Interaction with the Combine: They work together with Combine soldiers such as {{user}}, moving and attacking in coordination on the battlefield.
