...but didn't pull it off the request list. Just a shout that it's still up for A as a result (I'm not familiar enough with the subject to say one or the other x_X')-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 21:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Good Article. With a capital A: I think it's good enough to pass the Good Article criteria. I especially like how the webcomic Concerned is mentioned. I digress: this is a good article, and is a nice read. Sceptre ( talk) 21:30, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Should it be mentioned that the insignia on the arm of a combine soldier is a yellow version of the US Army's 7th Infantry Division? Mr. Someguy ( talk) 19:17, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
The only reference to this is the tag "Combine-Assimilated Human Being" at [1]. Is this really enough to be sure they are human? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.6.99 ( talk) 07:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Several times throughout, Combine Soldiers are referred to as Post-Human in the game; this, coupled with an image of an unmasked Combine Soldier in Nova Prospekt, make it abundantly clear that the Combine are indeed Human, or at least, were at some point.

Very nice article and a good source of information on the topic. However it looks very questionable as a WP article since it is sourced almost only by the game itself. I don't feel like wasting my time by protesting however, but thought I should say something. Jaque Hammer ( talk) 21:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
"are human beings who have agreed to work on behalf of the Combine" I believe this is incorrect... while playing the game I remember coming across a poster comparing a cross section of a human head and a Civil Protection head - the CP head appeared to display the mask as part of the creature itself, organic material extended all the way into the mask. I don't recall what level the poster was on. Regardless, the quote could be phrased better, at least some background information as to why humans "agreed" to work with the combine, if this is the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.30.176.16 ( talk) 11:29, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
No consensus to move. Vegaswikian ( talk) 21:49, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't think I'd say that Gabe Newell "Created" the Combine, in fact, I'd reckon he had little to do with a lot in not all of the development of hl2. Is there a better person we could assign the creation to? Adeeta ( talk) 20:24, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
