I mean it could be future armor so they can say whatever they want but generally only body armor can really stop bullets. There needs to be enough surface area to redistribute the force of the impact. This is why helmets are made to try and get bullet to ricochet, because we can't actually make helmets that stop bullets. You could make shoulder pads designed to do the same I guess but the loss of freedom of movement for the soldier would likely not be worth it especially because a shot to the shoulder is often not going to be fatal. Helmets rarely work, we just still use them because obviously a shot to the head is always fatal so it's worth it.
Helmets were never designed with bullets in mind, it's about shrapnel. Shrapnel causes 70% of all casualties in an actual war. Body armor with shoulder pads exist, again, it's for shrapnel. Helmets work very well, for what they are designed to do. They are not designed to stop bullets.
You get some incredibly lucky stories where a bullet will ricochet off the dome of the helmt or penerate at an odd angle so it scratches your scalp but not killing you. A direct hit from a rifle will have no problem going straight through, Ive seen firsthand a 7.62 ventilating a metal helmet. If you want to bullet proof your head you need to wear those massive one, then weight and sight becomes a problem.
i can imagine this nessesary when their priority task was beating back the xenobiomes. that said, youd imagine they would increase the armament on the head
i assume that these are the primitive versions of the ones we see in hl2
first of all they have a commander and they also need cumbersome backpacks and such
the head canon i have for this is that in hl2 all that shit got packed into single soldiers and the armor got more high tech resulting in full body padding rather than plates and such
Wow what a massive gay, lol. Americans are legit so fricked in the head with the woke mind virus it's crazy. Sorry, I mean 'liberal progressives'. Next-level cringe.
... to this?
Riot police very much would be tackling people. Soldiers? Not so much.
I'm pretty sure the ones in Alyx are supposed to be the invasion era soldiers before they were toned down into the HL2 occupation forces.
Different designer, duh, games are decades apart
but what if... they got shot in shoulders?

You're complaining about this when this game fricking retconned a cliffhanger with ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER.
However this is just one more reason why I don't want a third Half-Life game now.
Chargers were originally intended to have a charging attack that they would need all that padding for. I’m more mad that the Cremator got cut again.

except they literally look like generic swat team members
what point is even being made here
Ted Backman didn't work on HL:A.
...to this?
look at his legs oh no no no
>Dr. Freeman I'm with CMB
>armor protects muscles instead of joints
ayo isnt that moronic?
The team that worked on HL1/2 are all gone and replaced by zoomers from Campo Santo

>make 1 (uno) walking simulator
>valve buys you
>next walking simulator will never release now
it's like poetry
whats wrong with having shoulderpads?
>even the fricking police is wearing The Mask now
where did we go wrong
... to this!
imagine her reaction if the guy was black
forgot to mention that i'm trans btw If that matters 🙂
