I believe that he is talking about the gates and stuff the Combine put up when the revolution began.

This is it I guess
No idea how they would be deployed or moved, but I guess that can be said for a lot of the things in the HL universe! Like the double barreled shotgun that is also pump action somehow :D

Well having the thought about moving walls that keep moving inward until you are crushed where they all intersect wounds like a claustrophobic and scary idea but eh, im not clasutrophobic...i think....

Yeah, those ones.

They're a terrifying concept, my 2 issues is how did they get them up and running when the resistance is active? They're huge, and are either flown, trucked or maybe walk in under their own power. They need to be linked which must be an enormous undertaking and powered individually or with a manifold/rail system again tons of labor, materials and power sources. All that effort exposes labor and materials to sabotage.

2nd, the barrier weighs how much? Did someone forget how cities are built? The wall should be sinking under its own weight let alone all the voids beneath the streets.

Well it's aliens, i assume it's made by chunks made of a superstrong and light alloy connected with a pipe/tube containing alot of energy (produced by a dark matter generator?), all controlled with a powerful AI.
The Citadel couldn't be that high IRL either, so the combine metal is a perfect alloy wich is light and durable.

You'll get all the answers when hl3 comes out and by answers I mean that when hl3 it's actualy released we'll already have the tecnology to build those kinds of walls

I thought Combine technology was just a fumble of wires and metal, which have a computer inside, that orders the surrounding parts to transform into a certain form. Like the walls, inside can be changing, and shifting into a type of moving wall, then reconfigure back into a stationary durable wall.

[🆅🅴🆁🅰🆃🅾]

The combine walls are made to be used as a "dinamic" defense tool

The combines use this walls to change the perimeter they cover without they have to build another wall,they can use it as an offensive tool pushing the enemy forces back,they use this walls as a terraforming tool for example you can see in HL2 that this walls can be used to destroy buildings wich also links to the offensive tool
