If a 'handful' of rag-tag rebels with some 'rockets' can take out the bigger threats, then surely the Earth's modern military forces with their own attack helicopters, jet fighters, navy ships, powerful main battle tanks and anti-air batteries, tomahawk missiles, along with infantry soldiers with AT4s, Javelins and grenade launchers (not counting other country variants) should of repelled the Combine for more than just several hours. We know the Overwatch, which consists of the trans-humans, human collaborators and man made machines improved upon by the Combine, came after Earth's initial surrender.īut the synths- like gunships, striders and hunters should of been a big part of the initial invasion force, among other alien crafts and species as the ground grunts. simply would not surrender so quickly, if at all. Also countries like the US, Russia, China, etc. It would take far longer for politicians to simply sit down at the table, much less trying to hammer out a deal and a mutual surrender would be next to impossible. I am researching the Seven Hour War for writing, drawing and possible game making, but I can not fathom what would make a single nation, much less the entire world or majority of it, surrender in just seven measly hours.
