In a way, it makes them appear human; their fight or flight instinct has not been entirely suppressed despite extensive augmentation and surgeries. With the animations, they don’t mindlessly stand there and allow the zombies to attack them. They raise their arms and push them away, and they stop and briefly hesitate, anticipating the zombie’s attack before ducking and counterattacking.
Weren't dumbed down. Their AI is fine as is without the limitation of how many squad members can shoot at a time (2 in base HL2). Simply VALVE didn't have the time to create proper noding (or something like that) for the AI to execute most of their actually smart behaviour, and alongside them being pretty weak in health and damage you can see why they seem stupid. Plus Gordon is stupidly fast and strong, so that's another minus for the soldiers
Absolutely amazing work with these animations! Time to reinstall EZ2... I have only one minor "complaint", the Gonome swallow animations I feel need comical amounts of blood spurting out from the chest as they stuff their prey in their gob :D
@@natalie6811The video that has Nova Prospekt ambience with the Bullsquid roar is entirely fabricated, the person who made the video has a tendancy to put extra sounds in for fun that aren’t actually in the soundscapes for the levels.
These types of fluid interactions really make me think of the work Arkane did for Episode 4 (with the whole Zombie limb pinning mechanic) Really amazing work, I really hope we get to see stuff like this show up in more mods, specifically stuff like Dark Interval or even Raising The Bar: Redux, potentially.
Insane how games just don’t do this, enemy infighting makes the world feel so much more believable. Anyway, would be neat to port the Combine ones into Black Mesa
I can name more older games than modern games that do this. Farcry 3 and 4... that was 10 years ago, and that's about it from my knowledge@@davisdf3064
What if whenever we get Half-Life 3 (which I doubt we'll get) Gordon goes back to Black Mesa to attempt to fix the Half-Life universe and send the alien lifeforms back to Xen, but We could probably see Combine Soldiers patrolling Black Mesa, aswell as HECU Soldiers, Headcrab Zombies, Zombigaunts, Bullsquids, Antlions, etc. all still there even after about 20 years, roaming the place as The Combine and HECU attempt exterminating them while also fighting eachother
Extremely useful for map makers! Do you just fire ForceDynamicInteractionWithNPC with the animation as the arguments? Or does it select from a pool using the targetname?
These all look incredible, except for the Gonome eating animations. They should be atleast slowed down and more detailed, because the way it just eats the citizen like it has a black hole stomach looks very cartoony, same with the baby bullsquid to a lesser extent.
I don’t know if this is possible but I’d like to request a feature regarding the turret in arbeit 1 during the lab section before you get the magnum Is there any way you could make it so the turret can be slotted into the tram during the xentarium section like Wilson
Model is zombie assassin but it got no AI or animation and we don't really know what this NPC behaviour is like or what it does So let put gonome AI and animation in this model
based on the description, is entropy zero 2 with these little interaction between npc updates and further modding support, trying to be a sort of upgrade for source? I would love seeing a version of the source engine with these little upgrades that make it feel more alive
And also, question not related to this video. Not sure if you know, but what effect do Temporal Headcrab use(not the teleporting effects, but one that follows headcrab)?
It's going to be in the E:Z2 VPK instead of in the Mapbase VPK, as these new animations are specific to E:Z2. You can also find the animation model sources here: github.com/entropy-zero/mapbase-model-src
I like how half 2 makes combines look really dumb and fat during gameplay, just standing there shooting and then dying But lore wise they would probably be harder to deal with than the hecu marines, kicking and shoving targets just like this, tanking a lot of damage and being immune to any poison you throw at them while probably having a REALLY sharp aim with those otherworldly energy rifles
They are extremely armored and augmented to be extremely good in combat im pretty sure they would be even more skilled than the HECU, also the AR2 is a dark matter weapon it would penetrate anything
@@Omega-tc1xd that too, it's almost ridiculous how gordon could destroy the cidatel with regular ammunition and a gravity gun, lore wise the combine are literally so strong we had no chance of winning from the beginning If the out of earth units had arrived not even the plot armor could save gordon without making it look dumb
ya one thing that disappointed me with HL2 is u fight too much of the human characters, literally the whole game, while HL 1 they are introduced around midway through the story and are actually really challenging to fight against. Plus now that I am thinking about it it would be cool to have a former HECU marine soldier as an ally in HL2
@@yoshihammerbro435 HECU was more likely annihilated in black mesa and the 7 hour war, Gordon killed 166 marines and i think xen killed like 500-600, and during the combine invasion almost every military forces were destroyed that means theres a high chance that the marines didn't survive survive the invasion.

Making the soldiers look like an actual elite force of the combine huh
This is cool, it makes the combine look more competent when fighting against head crab zombies instead of just standing there.
In a way, it makes them appear human; their fight or flight instinct has not been entirely suppressed despite extensive augmentation and surgeries. With the animations, they don’t mindlessly stand there and allow the zombies to attack them.

MENACINGLY
much of them are just Alyx's animations from episode 1 and 2
@@yoshihammerbro435 Still makes sense that these soldiers have something like that to counter any dangerous encounters.
Combine lore wise are unironically ment to be elite heavily armored supersoldiers but were giga dumbed down for gameplay purposes

@@IRedRumcombine and rebels are both ranged NPCs, they aren’t going to be in melee combat often enough to have a Mortal Kombat style finishing move

You're saying you uninstalled it... "Reinstall" :(
Soldiers having alyxs fighting techniques actually makes sense like they assimilated them from rebels they captured
or, the rebel copy from the seen from the combine
Works too
Maybe 36 is keyed into them somehow allowing them to be slightly smarter?
0:37 giving a fatality to an enemy that appears once is crazy
With an stupid ass AI
You never cease to impress me with these.
The lack of bulksquids in the second game is an outright crime.
I’ll never get over how the only reference to them left in the entire game is that their roar is an ambient sound in Nova Prospekt

looks like combine learnt some muay thai
Nice collection
AMAZING
Those bullsquid animations remind me of the Spore carnivore eating animations
Fucking memories 😭
