>highly trained special forces unit>jobs to a nerd with bare bones firearms training and a security guard KWAB
>>731053535They jobbed to a nerd wearing what was effectively power armour.Actually about that, if they had the tech to make that suit, why the hell hasn't the military equipped their soldiers with them?
>>731053535It's less humiliating than jobbing to a fucking spearchucking savage like the Enclave did.Years later I'm still mad about it, oh and you can't forget they jobbed to a scrawny fresh out of the vault teenager in FO3 too.
>>731053809>spearchucking savageThe Chosen One canonically was a gigachad(Stacy?) so it's perfectly understandable that a faction lead by that dweeb of a "president" lost.
>>731053872No, it's humiliating.
>>731053884No it isn't. It's like thinking it's humiliating to lose a battle to Alexander the Great.
>>731053535>sensitive mission>scream random bullshit every 5 seconds
>>731053535They can't even spell lmao, hecu are just your average meathead grunts with moderately elevated clearance
>>731053535>a nerd with bare bones firearms trainingGordon is literally the chosen one, the one free man, the savior of humankind.
>>731053535a nerd that's bulletproof
>>731053535You left out the part where they were getting absolutely wrecked by an alien army that was constantly and unpredictably being dropped on them.
>>731054327>They can't even spell lmaoThey're marines, give them a break.
>>731053535they are only trained to kill unarmed civilians
>>731053720too expensive
>>731054594god bless america
>>731053720>>731054621But HECU ops have those rechargeable vests tooSure, they are not full body power armor, but stillAlso we need to talk about how can "rechargeable" vests tank bullets. Some gel that needs power current to be hard and "absorb" bullets?
>>731054718Scrap that, I just realized that HL OpForce is not really canon after all
>>731054621The US military is perpetually in a manpower deficit, anything that keeps their soldiers effective is better than not spending the money, which they already do to an extreme amount.If they had the tech to equip them with those suits, they would.
>>731054748>OpForce is not really canon after allWhat a shame.
>>731054718the same way the HEV suit does, theres no difference in the lack of logic between them
>>731055035How does he do it?
>>731054810Next you're going to tell us that "military grade" really is a sign of quality, high performance equipment
>>731054069>GOT A SCIENTIST HERE, HE'S GOT A LOT OF PICTURES OF GIRLS WITH DICKSI always loved that combat line.
>>731053720They were making those suits to go into the creepy Ayy dimension. The ability to kick marine ass is an incidental side effect of being designed to fight psychic Ayys, giant bee shooting Ayys, and withstand surprise headcrabs.
>>731055238Shamelessly copies Gordon.
>>731055035That's some weird styleEspecially that cyberpunk looking negressBut it just screams "early 00s" therefore I like it
>>731054810>If they had the tech to equip them with those suits, they wouldThose highly specialized experimental suits in black mesa are obviously not mass produced. Can't equip a whole ass unit with thoseThat's actually too expensivePlus let's just assume Gordon outwits them too. Being on the move all the time is better for survival than being tanky (you will get killed anyway)
>>731055792>Being on the move all the time is better for survival than being tankykek dexfags always coping
>>731053809they're billionaires and cia agents. No shit they jobbed. All the Enclave does is steal other people's accomplishments
>>731056115We have real life examplesMany of them actuallyFrom no leg and arm armor on regular troops (guess why) to tanks RAPIDLY becoming obsolete
>>731053809The dude on the left is playing his minigun like a guitar
>>731053535The Black Mesa personnel successfully surviving longer, while being more isolated then the HECU until the nuke goes off is the tightest shit
>>731053535They're just marines. "HECU" didn't exist until Opposing Force.
>>731057786>Black Mesa STANDS
>>731057786wtf is this real
>>731057786home turf advantage bitch
>>731057849>Early materials sometimes used "U.S. Marines" or "Soldiers" without the specific HECU designationHoly shit you're rightI find it weird they just sent marines for a highly secret cover up operation that actually involved killing your own people
>>731057786Although you don't really see it much outside of Lamba labs there were still pockets of resistence throughout the facility. If it weren't for the fact that communications were hijacked they'd probably have an easier time coordinating with each other. But to be fair the Xen invasion was becoming far too much for the US government to handle after a day so they were too busy trying to pull the fuck out.
>>731053535Even if its for the gameplay, there's really no reason for the military to focus on killing the witnesses instead of focusing on the immediate thread and coordinating the staffs to help them navigate the facility and contain the breach. Like why are they killing the guys who are smart enough to create teleporter? That's stupid
