@@technotron8637 bruh, he isnt outsmarted by that nerd. Shepard doesnt know anything about freeman, he just had orders and its a coincidence that he missed him at the last moment.

@@technotron8637 to be fair he never really had it out for freeman or cared for orders at that point ( once black ops starting killing everyone ) only time he saw or could catch him was during the portal jump .
The "they rather remind me of myself" line is so interesting. In general, G-Man's "sympathy" towards Shepherd is a really engaging and interesting plot point that puts his whole character in a different light
@technotron8637 No, once G-Man gone, you are left yourself and only. In the crippling darkness, where only the wind is the thing you can hear. For more than 20 years.
Everything that happened to Adrian was G-Man playing him like a card he wanted to win. From his very training Shephard was put up in rank to Corporal because G-Man told his superiors to do so, he let Adrian out of a radioactive acid trap but kept him from being able to obey orders and leave to safety, he tested him against the Race-X invasion despite planning to nuke the Black Mesa to wipe that out a few minutes later anyway, and he even at the end he refused to give Adrian a choice. G-Man picked, tested and played him and once he won Adrian, completely forgot about him to eternity in stasis. It's quite a sharp tragedy. The right man forever trapped where the wrong man wanted him.
I assume that G-Man wanted Adrian locked away because then it would mean that there would be one less determined mother fucker out in the world who's capable of throwing a wrench into G-mans plans. Edit: Or maybe Adrian could be used as a future asset.
Probably g man will use him to keep Gordon at bay or to assassinate him after breaking from g man's grip(wich i think g man predicted it from the start) If there's one person who is capable of killing gordon is gonna be shepherd
Have you played Half Life 1 RTX? Worth doing if you love the low poly realistic lighting look. It's fuuun and always an excuse to play through the game again.
@@berchead12 i agree as I mentioned earlier the lighting was broken in the hl1 maps plus my laptop has poor specs so this is the best i could do with lighting
unlike Gordon, Shepherd has training. He survived the same trial as Gordan and proved to be another effective one man calamity. G-man hasn't forgotten Shepherd and still intends to play him in the field.
adrain shepherd reminded gman of himself, the employees wanted to get rid of him but gman offered a better solution is to detain him, he saw something in adrain shepherd, he reminded him of himself, he didnt want a bad fate for him so he kept him in the void, so nothing can happen to him
Adrian could’ve went home and fought against the combine dying with his fellow marines next him, but had to be trapped because a man in a suit realized his potential
Could you imagine going to some kind of crazy disaster on a facility, you dont know who or WHAT you're up against, but when you finally get to a point to leave, a man in a suit stops you, forcing you to stay in this hell hole, watching your men get killed left and right. Then after everything, just darkness. Everything else gone. You're just stuck. In a pocket dimension, alone. Waiting for anything, or anyone to get you out of it.
Based off some takes and points from other comments I’ve realized something. Gordon was the right guy in the wrong place. Shepard was the right guy in the right place. Shepard is everything Gordon isn’t. He’s a fighter, he’s combat ready and he’s got battle smarts. Gordon is human though. Shepard a soldier. So g man did what he could with Shepard and then shelved him. I mean imagine if their places were swapped. A random soldier couldn’t inspire the rebellion the way that Gordon did. Shepard could never have reached the mythological status Gordon did that inspired humanity to rebel against a seemingly unbeatable machine. Shepard is the typical action hero and that’s why he’s stuck in stasis. Because to stop everything at black mess and save everyone on earth later on… they didn’t need an action hero. They needed a man. Freeman.
Honestly, even though the animation is quite choppy, the camera placement is so good. And the "our own race turning against us" along with the music sent shivers down my spine. "You did well!" - Heavy TF2
Your time has finally come Corporal Shephard...my old hires weren't able to complete their work...which is why I'm here Corporal...wake up...wake up and look around you...
If Shephard ever returns to the saga, I hope they call him "The Soldier Trapped in Time" Not only because he wears his uniform, but also because he has been forgotten for so long.
This makes me want to play Half-life Ray-Traced. Great video, I remember when I was a kid and the release of Opposing Force, it was so cool. Adrian... you will never be forgotten.
At first they must be enemy's since Shepard is still angry at Gordon for killing his friends then after some time while killing both xen and combine he loses grudge against Gordon since both lost there world to alien race
it's sad to think that Adrian's ONLY use and purpose during the black mesa incident, was to stop the Gene Worm from coming to earth and terraforming the entire planet. Otherwise, G-Man would stop him anytime he wanted. G-Man probably wanted gordon to deal with Race X and stop it aswell, but however, he was already busy at Xen fighting nihilant. As for Barney, he probably would not survive a fight against a giant alien beast, he was just a normal guy trying to survive.
One of the interesting fact about shephard was that he was 22 years old when black mesa incident happened and he survived black mesa and did so many thing all alone
> Потерял весь свой отряд > Остановил вторжение неизвестной инопланетной расы > Отправлен в отставку и списан челом из правительства за ненужностью. Как же жизненно
0:27 Not sure if the animator was going for a reference to the last episode of breaking bad, but I loved this part. Adrian Shepherd is my favorite of all the Half Life player characters.
i think Shepard might be Gman's Ace card, to play whenever a situation occurs he didnt plan for, when there is seemingly no options left for victory, Gman has Shepard to put in the field a one man Apocalypse that will turn the tide against whoever is dumb enough to cross Gman. But that time will never come Gman is allways 5 steps ahead in any situation, so Shepard will forever be in stasis because gman would never let a situation get so bad he would have to send in his trump card.
I love how all the underrated channels do all the best work, And I wanna say that I have finished Opposing Force just yesterday and this just hits, diffirent. Every game in Half-Life is better in their own ways and Opposing Force was one of the best DLC's in the franchise for me. Thank you for impressing me and making this nice, underrated video. Keep up the good work, friend...
Adrian gazes at the suited man, pleading. But it's no use. The osprey lifts itself out in a plume of dust, taking his brothers in arms out to salvation. He's left behind, abandoned to the monsters that lurk in the cold walls and the canyon crevices. Left to survive under the desert sun and fend for himself on the sterile floors, slippery with blood.
@@jangofett7034 There was a media release during Christmas. Haven’t seen anything since though. Their discord would probably have anything newer. No word on release date, but they have a Steam store page now, so that’s a good sign.
Alright I'm gonna say it. I like Opposing Force more than Half-Life and I have been waiting for Adrian to come back for 20 years. Wrench is better than Crowbar plain and simple.
I hope the new half life game will arrive shortly when valve learns to count to 3. I also hope it'll have Shephard in it because damn has he been waiting
I wonder what made G-man interested in Adrian in the first place. A common marine, who apparently reminded him of himself? Besides, G-man is the reason Shepard was high in the marine ranks(top 10). And then he just decided to save him, but prevent his escape, just to see if Adrian was a worthy subject? A shame we will probably never get answers or even a game where Adrian will make a comeback, considering that he is the one to be interesting to G-man himself, and not his employers, that were actually not keen on keeping Corporal in stasis.
True. I think G man just collected those who he thought had limitless potential and could prove a threat to the aliens like Freeman, Alyx and Shepherd. There’s also a theory that Colette Green might also be in stasis along with Shepherd but who knows? I just hope that Shepherd comes back in future games. Surely his purpose was not only to stop the gene worm. It mustve been something greater
@@technotron8637 Theory:Adrian Shephard was supposed to be the star of Half life 2,but Gordon Freeman, who had no training, proved to have a higher potential than Shephard. So even if Gordon is better, G-man decided to keep Adrian,because he is powerful too.
@@sarcastic2731 i also feel that it could be the other way around. Gman saw that Adrian was too powerful and could potentially ruin his plans which is why he put him stasis where he could do no possible harm
Shepard's rank was literally 4th lowest rank since he's an E-4, a corporal. He's not even a commissioned officer. (E stands for Enlisted, you don't need any college degree to join). That's like saying a lieutenant is great because lieutenant is O-1 and the highest rank possible is O-10. Nope, that dude is straight out of the college. One thing that doesn't make sense about HL is that everyone in the platoon or even company treats him as some kind of war hero. I don't see any reason for anyone to overglorify a corporal unless he's prior service (rejoined the military). Which I highly doubt that he re-enlisted because he was just 22.
Imagine, if there is a really passionate director who would really want to direct the whole franchise of half-life (executed with really well), then it could be a masterpiece of work that would ever exist in history.
A catalyst of destruction and chaos, The only one who's a worthy enough foe of gordon, If HL3 were to ever happen I can see Adrian being brought back most likely as an enemy to gordon, Since I could easily see the reason be due to Adrians friends dying just to capture him.
although thats a really interesting theory, Adrian seems like a really kind hearted man. We see the security guard towards the end of the game call him a good guy too. Yes he did care for his comrades but I think at this point he would realise that it would probably be best to team up with Gordon as theres a much bigger threat
Imagine killing zombies, aliens, getting abandoned by your own government force, having all your friends dead, and having to witness a bunch of scientists die, get teleported to a pocket dimension just to find out that the world is now run by aliens and nobody remembers you
Adrian's combat strategy is unbelievable. Because he just survived an extreme alien invasion with a kevlar. I think when he gets hev suit he become an avenger.
he or even freeman for that matter got that far only because of gman. it's barney who deserves a break. gman gave him no plot armor and his armor was nothing like an HEV or PCV
@@technotron8637 I read somewhere this, he is just survived by his combat intelligience, other things is not directly helped him for his survive. After this war, when he survive, i think he get marshal rank 😁
@@technotron8637 But Shephard destroyed gene worm with half hev suit and he worked alone more time than Gordon and Barney. And he is more talanted to using organic weapons than high ranked soldiers. That makes him cooler than others 😎
Very well edited, & full of heart & soul. Using the oldskool models with a retro filter really feels authentic to the nostalgia I feel thinking about HL:OF. I'm always so wistful, wishing Adrian Shephard would get more canon material. What little we glimpse of him as a person (his adaptability, willingness to help when needed, & how he pets & interacts with his living weapons in some idle animations, etc) makes him likeable. So I LOVE seeing him appreciated with such a fantastic tribute. It would be interesting if he could've also been leader of another Resistance force in another city or something... In City 17, they have the inspiration of The Free Man. In another, the people are led & guarded by The Shephard. ("Thy pipe wrench & thy spore launcher, they comfort me." 😜)
Thank you for the appreciation! I also long to see Shephard in a new half life game. He had a lotta potential even though he was like freeman in some ways. Towards the end of HL:OF we meet a security guard who says to Shephard “I guess you’re a good guy corporal” I really regret not using this line in the edit. It reflects on shephards character and tells us that he’s a selfless man willing to help others in this dire situation.
Adrian Shepherd was such a wasted character. They actually planned to reuse him in HL2 EP4, as it also had kind of semi-canon status as OP had had, but EP4 was ultimately scrapped. Now only chance of him ever returning would be if next HL title was also planned to have some semi-canon expansion packs as original HL had.
We were gonna get a Opposing Force: Ravenholm which would be focused on Adrian Shepherd being teleported to Ravenholm and he fights zombies with Father Grigori that would’ve been badass Sadly the game was scrapped
when they ask where is Shepherd but they never asked how is Shepherd...not only he was confused in the whole ideal of black mesa incident...the guy got put into a survival situation against all odds / betrayed and none of his comrade are left and now he got put in stasis for his "upcoming awaken" that will never happen.
sometimes i think gman sold some adrian's genetic material to the combine as a basis for all combine soldier replication. still waiting for him to show up in half life 3 like Wulfgar at the climax of book three of the drizzit series. incomprehensible vengeance for being imprisoned and tortured for too long.
Shephard didn't had anyone to help him in black mesa, yet he stopped literally 2nd xen invasion, that would be even worse than first one, and got forgotten. I just hope that at least gman sometimes visits him in stasis just to have random conversations
We need to see this guy again maybe a new Half Life game,maybe a show,maybe a movie and maybe even a book i just want to see this guy again with his story continuing... It cannot end like this.

Shepard's rank was literally 4th lowest rank since he's an E-4, a corporal. He's not even a commissioned officer. (E stands for Enlisted, you don't need any college degree to join).
That's like saying a lieutenant is great because lieutenant is O-1 and the highest rank possible is O-10. Nope, that dude is straight out of the college.
One thing that doesn't make sense about HL is that everyone in the platoon or even company treats him as some kind of war hero. I don't see any reason for anyone to overglorify a corporal unless he's prior service (rejoined the military). Which I highly doubt that he re-enlisted because he was just 22.
@@SirHellNaja yet he did better than his superiors so much better infact that the gman had to imprison him in his pocket demension
00:02 Shepard:how much more must I suffer?
G-man:not so simple...
In my opinion, Adrian Shepard should have been the replacement for Gordon Freeman, not Alex Vance
My boy adrian. I am waiting for you
Stuck in stasis forever 😔
This is one of the best edits of the song I've seen
You perfectly used the lines "Forget about Freeman!" and "Our own race, turning against us"
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!! I really put in a lot of effort into this video so it means a lot to me
Imagine, if there is a really passionate director who would really want to direct the whole franchise of half-life (executed with really well), then it could be a masterpiece of work that would ever exist in history.
Ikr that would be awesome
A catalyst of destruction and chaos,
The only one who's a worthy enough foe of gordon,
If HL3 were to ever happen I can see Adrian being brought back most likely as an enemy to gordon, Since I could easily see the reason be due to Adrians friends dying just to capture him.
although thats a really interesting theory, Adrian seems like a really kind hearted man. We see the security guard towards the end of the game call him a good guy too. Yes he did care for his comrades but I think at this point he would realise that it would probably be best to team up with Gordon as theres a much bigger threat
I like to imagine we’ll see Adrian appear in a future half life game alongside gordon
If they don’t then that’s just wasted character potential
I hope so too
I yearn for the day we see Adrian again.
In case you didn''t notice, When Shephard makes an appearance on the screen: He Is Literally me.
He literally me
Literally us!
@@technotron8637 real
Imagine killing zombies, aliens, getting abandoned by your own government force, having all your friends dead, and having to witness a bunch of scientists die, get teleported to a pocket dimension just to find out that the world is now run by aliens and nobody remembers you
Tragic
Adrian's combat strategy is unbelievable. Because he just survived an extreme alien invasion with a kevlar. I think when he gets hev suit he become an avenger.
he or even freeman for that matter got that far only because of gman. it's barney who deserves a break. gman gave him no plot armor and his armor was nothing like an HEV or PCV
@@technotron8637 I read somewhere this, he is just survived by his combat intelligience, other things is not directly helped him for his survive. After this war, when he survive, i think he get marshal rank 😁
@@technotron8637 But Shephard destroyed gene worm with half hev suit and he worked alone more time than Gordon and Barney. And he is more talanted to using organic weapons than high ranked soldiers. That makes him cooler than others 😎
@@ripdv i agree. Shephard was truly the perfect girl. I really hope we see him in future valve games
@@technotron8637 Bruh. U put h-ecu girls into my mind. How i forget this ?
Bro you can't imagine how much i wish for half life opposing force 2 to happen
i just love the fact that the headcrab at 0:25 is the one from hl2
And its the model for Lamarr. This just explains how lazy i got towards the end
0:24 and 0:27 bro thinks his Walter White 💀
0:24 bro is actually Ryan Gosling
@@technotron8637 But I assume the scene after that is from Breaking Bad.
@@tuna6747 yep that’s correct
This edit hits harder than the nuke they dropped on black mesa
This video goes hard
Very well edited, & full of heart & soul. Using the oldskool models with a retro filter really feels authentic to the nostalgia I feel thinking about HL:OF. I'm always so wistful, wishing Adrian Shephard would get more canon material. What little we glimpse of him as a person (his adaptability, willingness to help when needed, & how he pets & interacts with his living weapons in some idle animations, etc) makes him likeable. So I LOVE seeing him appreciated with such a fantastic tribute.
It would be interesting if he could've also been leader of another Resistance force in another city or something...
In City 17, they have the inspiration of The Free Man.
In another, the people are led & guarded by The Shephard.
("Thy pipe wrench & thy spore launcher, they comfort me." 😜)
Thank you for the appreciation! I also long to see Shephard in a new half life game. He had a lotta potential even though he was like freeman in some ways. Towards the end of HL:OF we meet a security guard who says to Shephard “I guess you’re a good guy corporal”
I really regret not using this line in the edit. It reflects on shephards character and tells us that he’s a selfless man willing to help others in this dire situation.
They need to bring him back in the next game
i really like the lil head turning at 0:25
Adrian Shepherd was such a wasted character. They actually planned to reuse him in HL2 EP4, as it also had kind of semi-canon status as OP had had, but EP4 was ultimately scrapped. Now only chance of him ever returning would be if next HL title was also planned to have some semi-canon expansion packs as original HL had.
We were gonna get a Opposing Force: Ravenholm which would be focused on Adrian Shepherd being teleported to Ravenholm and he fights zombies with Father Grigori that would’ve been badass
Sadly the game was scrapped
Based Shephard posting.
Fr
This edit hits hard...
This is so beautifully made, I subbed!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it
0:27 shepherd think he's walter white
when they ask where is Shepherd but they never asked how is Shepherd...not only he was confused in the whole ideal of black mesa incident...the guy got put into a survival situation against all odds / betrayed and none of his comrade are left and now he got put in stasis for his "upcoming awaken" that will never happen.
Keep it up! Can't wait for more edits like this!
Thanks! Planning to make a freeman edit next!
They rather remind me of my self..
GMan is Gordon FreeMan.
Bro literally said “yo dude, you’re literally me”
ojala adrian shephard regrese para half life 3 o como se llame la siguiente entrega
when i was late for the bus
"YOU FUCKS DON'T LEAVE ME HERE.... PLEASE"
“MICHAEL! DONT LEAVE ME HERE! MICHAAAAEEEEL!!!!”
sometimes i think gman sold some adrian's genetic material to the combine as a basis for all combine soldier replication.
still waiting for him to show up in half life 3 like Wulfgar at the climax of book three of the drizzit series. incomprehensible vengeance for being imprisoned and tortured for too long.
idk how but the choppy animation makes it better
It fits the hl1 models and animations
im usually not into edits, but this fire
Thank you!
Shephard didn't had anyone to help him in black mesa, yet he stopped literally 2nd xen invasion, that would be even worse than first one, and got forgotten. I just hope that at least gman sometimes visits him in stasis just to have random conversations
I dont think Gman’s the kind of guy who’s empathetic towards his subjects and will probably only interact with them if they are of some use to him…
woooooooooooow bro thats fantastic
Maybe its because low poly models but adrian looks cute 😊
He looks hot fr 🥵
I can feel him coming inside of me 😩
Ahhhh the ass end of the Golden age of gaming
We need to see this guy again maybe a new Half Life game,maybe a show,maybe a movie and maybe even a book i just want to see this guy again with his story continuing... It cannot end like this.
Ikr, he’s a character that has a lot of potential
