Player Ally: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:07, 23 February 2009

A player ally is an NPC or a bot that will try to help the player by protecting him or provide cover.

The difference between an ally and a companion is that the companion will try to help you throughout the game whereas the ally could leave your side at any point in order to succed its own goals. So the goal of the companion is to help you, but the goal of the ally could be something else. This also means that one should not trust the ally NPC.

An example is the rebel. The rebel is a good ally because their goal is to protect you and attack anything that you attack such as npc_combine_s's, npc_antlion's and a npc_zombie's. Last the rebel is a perfect ally as they die easily but are still as strong as a combine.

-A Player Ally is a npc or bot that will help covering the player and protecting him, an ally is different from a companion. A ally does not stay or survive any longer then a companion, a companion is someone who helps you through all of it. Allies are very useful for a pitch but don't trust them with your life, most npcs' hate you as much as them because they help you and what helps you must be destroyed. Take a rebel for example, a rebel is a good ally because they protect you and take off anything you brace such as a [[npc_combine_s]], [[npc_antlion]] and a [[npc_zombie]]. Rebels are perfect for allies because they can die really easy but just as strong as a combine soldier.
