My pleasure, brother! I'd enjoy this game so much less without your mod.

Thanks in large part to you for testing it and giving feedback so many times, Skummeh!!

At this point, HLA is unplayable for me without Merciless. Most important mod in the workshop!

Nice, I hope you will like the new difficulty!

Hahah, you've got a mod for almost everything! I just downloaded that one - will try it out next time! Kudos!

Well, since you dont seem to like bullet sponge enemies, have you tried my mod merciless half life alyx? You may like that one too and it is compatible with the campaign and with most of the workshop maps

Awesome! Really great to hear that it is possible! Grunts vs Officers is a great idea too! Sure hope the Officers would be on our side xD Fighting Grunts is more fun in my opinion as they have explosive tanks and throw grenades sometimes, and die in fewer shots rather than being bullet sponges. Recoloring enemy Combine is also a good alternative idea because it allows for all variety of Combine troops to be used both as enemies and as allies.

Thank you for taking suggestions! Looking forward to more great content from you and Xuoth! :steamhappy:

As far as I know, Gunman Contracts enemies are combine soldiers using custom models.

Making two group of combine fight against each other is easy enough, maybe grunts vs officers could be an interesting arena.

Thanks for the idea and your nice comments!

I see. Thank you for explaining the issue! I have no idea how Gunman Contracts implemented the citizen npcs.

Then perhaps it would be easier to make enemy combine spawn instead? Like two groups, one friendly to you, and the other enemy. There is a map called "Customisable NPC Arena" that does this. It also paints the friendly combine blue to distinguish it, so maybe for your arena, the enemy combine (not friendly) could be painted red or some other color to distinguish them from yours?

Just throwing ideas. A Christmas wish if you will! If none of these are possible, I understand :(

The problem is, this game has very few npcs. There are not working citizens, vortigaunts nor striders, so that is not that simple to make.
On most of my maps you play as a combine if you are interested, but only antlion arena 1, 2 and 3 have combine teamates.
