The Mystery of The Dropship | Combine Dropship | FULL Half-Life Lore

The Combine Dropship is a fan favourite in the Half-Life community. It's origin is a mystery, and it is one of the most important weapons in The Combine arsenal. We know that its main function was to bring in reinforcements, but what else was it used for?

What was this creature originally? How was it adapted and used by The Combine, and how different could it have been if Valve had gone into a slightly different direction during the development of Half-Life 2? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind The Dropship in Half-Life 2.
