Imagine You're clearing out an area known for being infested with headcrabs and have heard about no squads coming back Then you hear your radio just boot up and a dead soldier begins to inform you The area isn't secure and necrotics are nearby How terrifying, genuinely sickening, and sad that would be to hear someone you knew and confirmed is dead talk to you over a radio
CROSBY THE WOLF the Transhuman combine soldiers wouldn't really care. I dont even know if they really have much emotion, they're just pretty much programmed to do what they're told, hence why the zombine isnt screaming like a normal zombie would, they're just using the radio to pretty casually worn other combine units if they hear someone.
The thing is with the zombine you can hear a beep at the end of their idle sounds so....their radios are still on after death? are the non infected combines just listening to their infected buddies talking to them from the grave....damn that's dark....
Well Zombies and Zombines are still alive, they are just being controlled by the head crab and their hands are mutated. Thats why when zombies are on fire their the ones talking.
Its parasite 101, they dont kill the host, if they do they just screw themselves since their living off of a dead body, id expect the combine to have better protocols for headcrabs though, like deterrents, a metal helmet, something
Elythas i think its not the headcrab, i think its the combine trying to kill himself to end suffering, but the headcrab is in control, he is controlled to bassically "suicide bomb" others.
MaiYass actually the regular zombies are talking sense just backwards so reverse it and you,ll here them scream "GOD HELP HELP ME" pretty terrifying if you ask me
This is actually very interesting. Some people say the headcrab is just trying to mimic voices or there are some last recorded messages. I think the host is still alive and can feel the pain but cant control the body and any of his actions. The only exception is when there is suddenly any change headcrab has to react to such as spotting an enemy or being put on fire that breaks the full control of the headcrab for a second allowing the host to be conscious for that time. That's why zombine says these messages, zombies scream help me and zombine pulling out a grenade in attempt to kill himself.
The really fucked up thing about this is they're trying to warn other soldiers about Headcrabs in the area, imagine how terrified the soldiers would be hearing these distorted voices of fallen soldiers over the radio
They do yell, "Shit!" when a grenade lands next to them. Fear is an important self preservation instinct, I'm pretty sure that would be detrimental to their performance in the field.
Once I played a version, that for some reason the sounds of the zombie were inverted... When I put one on fire in Ravenholm... That sent chills down my spine
The zombies in hl2 are terrifying. They are basically people, trapped inside this hellish pain, waiting till they die, and be freed from their torture. Pretty fucking horrifying, ain't it?
Auto Korch not true since the head crab focuses on the player the combine has a window of freedom since there in gruesome pain they pull the pin on a grenade and hold it to there head to end the pain killing the head crab as well
parasite = headcrab biotic = xen creature ,headcrab , zombie necrotic = zombie necrotric inbound = verified headcrab pod launching restrictor = thumper (the anti antlion machine) bouncer = grenade (noted its worth mentioning that combine frag grenade bounce a lot and it have a beeping red light)
What I adore about the zombine is the creep factor, it is a human that has undergone so much brain washing that it isn't really phased by what has happened to it and is still trying to follow orders. Valves horror is just too good.
Just shows how horrifically the Combine twists the human body. The Combine's programming is so deeply rooted in their subjects minds the pain of becoming a zombie doesn't even prevent them from relaying their orders.
I think that the host is capable of using prerecorded messages with their suit, hence the same voice for all of the combine, for ease of communication. While half of a zombine's head is removed, it still has access to the prerecorded messages. The labored breathing is itself, the voice is built into the suit.
@@LostLichThe zombines become headless when the headcrab is removed from them. They left the ragdoll headless with and without the headcrab because they didn't need to model the zombine head. Maybe the helmet is too tight, so when the headcrab comes out, it torns the head off.
I think the headcrabs just take over the part of the brain that controls movement, so the host can still feel everything, but can only move on their own for a short amount of time. The the reason the zombine pull out a grenade is so they can end it quickly, which is pretty fucked up.
Stanciu Sebastian the headcrab is distracted by the player and the host gets a little more freedom and the combine pulls out a grenade to end their suffering and kill anything around them...
I agree. But I don’t let that happen with zombines. I pull it out of their hands with my gravity gun, and punt it to somewhere else(usually @ a normal zombie). Then I would use my pistol (or lure them into fire) for a slow death.
From hearing NPC sound files about why some join the combine is a number of reasons, but to get a decent meal is highest and to be over taken by a headcrab is horrifying.
@@unpleasantzombie Getting infected is actually the worst part in that situation because your in tremendous pain the whole time. Killing yourself is the best part. It's not good but it's better.
JaxJags143 that would be funny as heck just combines chilling and all of the sudden they here this distorted voice say biotic overrun if I was in those combines situation I would just run away screaming
Headcrab pods are manufactured by the Combine, which are then launched from terminals e.g the St. Olga launcher terminal. Some terminals can be disabled by having a grenade or other explosive thrown into the canister as its reloading.
it gives me chills thinking about how you are the combine soldier in the situation. you hear the beeping of the combine soldier who has now been the victim of a headcrab, you assume that it was freeman who killed him. but, the same voice talks to you on the radio, he doesnt sound the same, his voice is...slow and lifeless and you hear the grunting and painful wails of the soldier as he tries to communicate to you. this is an absolutely spine chilling narration that it gives me.
the zombine are still alive and trying to warn other combine of the event and still try to end the pain by commiting suicide to kill gordon and himself
German Turkish Mapper Nah, the headcrabs actually make them become a suicide bomber. You can even steal their grenades from their claws with the Gravity Gun
German Turkish Mapper yeah but think about my way headcrab wants to throw a grenade but host doesn't. host wants to die quickly while he has a chance to do.
of cor{p}se it has consciousness! Combine are still alive under that Headcrab, it can only wait until the sweet release from the hell that is a parasitic relationship and if you shoot the Headcrab off a Zombine, the Headcrab flies of taking the combine mask with it, and since Combine masks are sugicaly welded to the Combine's face, it takes everything but the lower jaw along with it, a dead host is a useless host and btw, i ONLY wanted to post this comment to make a corpse pun
The Elegant Assassin not true since when a head crab spots the player they focus on the player giving the combine freedom and since the combine is in a lot of pain they pull out a grenade prime it and hold it to there heads to end the pain as well as killing the head crab in the process
I can’t tell if the Zombine’s augmented brain makes it so it instinctually makes these callouts or if they’re slightly more resistant to the headcrab’s influence that they’re able to warn or still fulfill their duties at least mentally.
Is it just me or is it saddening that how even though they're barely hanging on and practically dead. They still call out to their comrades to warn them. Adds more to it since it seems like they have a hard time breathing at all
Zombines have more control over their body from the protective gas mask on their skull. This explains how they have the ability to take out a Grenade because they’re trying to end themselves. Also they can talk full sentences. It takes longer for the head crab to break down the helmet meaning they can control their body
So, when the combines get infected by a headcrab, they still use their lungs to talk via the radio. The combines actually resemble a bit of consciousness.
These are one of my favorite zombie soldiers of all time. The 2 things we hate the most merged into one. also they are the only balanced zombie in the game. not too hard or easy
The fallen combine soldiers are trained even after they got a headcrab on their head that's why they hold up their grenade to kill themself so they cannot feel any more pain
A thing about combine soldiers. Their memories are replaced with combat data. So that's probably from where headcrab might be pulling combine call-outs.
While it may seem sad... the reason the Combine can speak so 'clearly' into the broken radio is because of interior cybernetic machinery. That same machinery has rendered whatever human race of the soldier obsolete and wiped. What remains is just a human shell controlled by machinery. So while the body remains alive, it's not really conscious as far as I know with combine lore.
I do love that they used sounds from the actual Overwatch soldiers to create the Zombine sounds. Valve either does it all the way or not at all (Except Half Life Source. We don't talk about Half Life Source.)
2:26 it's "extractor is" not "restrictors" and it makes no sense anyways for the situation. the combine soldiers say "extrator is live" when they are throwing a grenade at you during combat
Combine Soldiers have vocoders instead of vocal cords. As far as I remember, they have to think or something to speak. So speaking isn't all that hard.
Combine can't feel fear or caution, the surgerys altered them mentally and physically but they still feel pain and other emotions, which explains why the zombines pull out a grenade so they can end the pain as fast as possible because the headcrab dosent control it's entire victim, during the transformation the victim is conscious and fully aware of whats happening.
@@Anon-mu8re i dont really know how a creature from a really far planet or dimension is relatable with a completely different body and how its able to control our muscles by just humping our heads and waiting there for 2 hours
Since zombines say "necrotics inbound" when they see you means they think you're a zombie. also when the pull out a grenade the say "bouncer" so they alert themselves about their own grenade. Also 1:41 *t* *a* *r* *g*
Imagine just chillin', enforcing the combine law. Then suddenly, through your radio one of your fellow squad members groans and speaks distortedly. You know he cannot be saved, yet you have to listen to his warnings and moans. Dark, isn't it.
Zombines have the most control when being influenced by a headcrab. They can even pull out their grenades to kill Gordon and themselves as a “last mission”
What's heard at 0:43 isn't the radio, but a zombie gasp. All the dialogue is cut up, slowed, or interrupted by the uneven breaths of the headcrab controlling the body. Which varies from shaky breaths, gasps, raspy exhales, snarls, and other wet throaty sounds.
0:13 what is that guy holding is it a Pepsi soda can with green vege juice inside it I never played half life before so idk what it is @@*#/##/(--“”####
The kind of disturbing thing about this is at the end of the zombine idles you can hear the radio beep which means the other combines which are not infected hear the voices of fallen combines warning them about headcrabs
Imagine you are the last combine alive in ravenholm, you start to hear your body's slowly talking in a distorted voice, You don't know the location or where it's coming from, but it is like it knows where you are.
the fact some of these lines are being broadcasted over radio makes me want a game where you play as a team of combines trying to clear a headcrab infested area, and when a teammate dies and gets taken over these sounds play over the radio every so often, imagine how horrofying it'd be "hey man just cleared the warehouse, how's it looking over there" *silence* "you good man?" and then garbled screaming pours out of the radio
Two small corrections: One of the pain sounds had the soldiers saying “Medical-“, which was used from “Request Medical” The first grenade line was “Extractors…”, I believe that the line originated from “Ready Extractors”.
*on the radio* Combine: Is anyone still alive? *a minute passes, confirming him the worst.* *then suddenly he hears the radio go off, in a weird, but, familiar voice* Zombine:Sector.... isn't secure.
Huh, really fucking creepy.... Especially how the hosts can still feel all pain and they're still alive. (don't believe me? try setting a regular hl2 zombie on fire then reversing the sound of it on fire)
I actually find this quite interesting, as its known, Default Headcrab Zombies are still very much alive, and this logic properly applies to the Zombine. Some are probably questioning why the *Former* Zombine is headless when killed. Possible reasoning behind this is, as the Combine Soldiers themselves are pretty much Synthetic Humanoids at this point, and its known that Combine helmets are surgically attached to their heads, excluding Civil Protection, as they're still pretty much human, as what we see from Barney, as he can remove his helmet mask. Regarding this fact, its possibly safe to assume that the Headcrab has to attach itself to the Combine's helmet then penetrate that, then the skull, thus when the headcrab is removed, it takes the whole head, aside from the lower jaw. This logic doesnt apply to the default zombie, as the host has no helmet, thus the beak of the headcrab can directly puncture the skull. We can assume this logic for the Zombine would apply to the Elite as well, if there was an Elite variant of the Zombine, which can probably be said for a Zombie Metrocop as well.
Just imagine being a grunt and then noticing your commanding officer has disappeared, only to hear him on the radio like this. Since grunts still have a sense of humanity just imagine how they would react.
Animation maker Mccarty But if you just shoot off the headcrab, they will also be headless with only their lower jaw attached to the body. Which means any attempt at removing the headcrab will instantly result in the host getting beheaded
They're committing suicide. The amount of pain those Zombines are in are so excruciatingly painful that they'd rather blow themselves up than continue living. Shits sucks, man.
Stanciu Sebastian problem with "they suicide to kill you" is that they are parasites , they need a alive body to leach onto , or not a blown up one , so why would they sacrifice themselves to turn a possible host into a pile of ripped apart meat and kill other headcrabs in the process? Headcrab wanting to suicide is unlikely so it is probably soldiers just pulling out a grenade as soon as the headcrab gets distracted by the player to end their own suffering*
The fact that the Zombine is still desperately trying to warn Overwatch about an infestation shows how brainwashed and dedicated they are to the Combine...
Just imagine: You're a combine soldier with his squad on a mission to find the missing teams then one of the radios turn on and you hear "Sector is....not secure" you question the situation and again, the radio boots up "necrotics nearby..." You are terrified, you continue but your guard is up all the time, next thing you hear " Biotic overrun" very close to your location and then they charge you, grenades in hand screaming. You open fire but there are too many, headcrabs start taking your teammates one by one and you're the only one left, you run but you can hear the radio booting up behind you. Terrifying thought, eh?
I can't really empathize with them, they're heavily modified humans with yes, still SOME emotion, only some, but not much, but there is evidence for some emotion in them.
i would like to think of this as most combine soldiers have been modified to such an extend that even the headcrabs do not have total control over them
They're almost trying to warn their own or their situation. What makes it worse is that it's probably being communicated over their radio, too.
Loyal to the end, huh?
@@Apple-nf5rk brainwashed to the end
@@KawaiianArgument its true though
The combine have a little conscious to speak or talk but due to the headcrab that is only thing he can do including holding a grenade.

Soldiers appears to have slightly more control when becoming a zombine as they are able to properly say words and even small sentences.
in fact all victims of headcrabs do because they are aware of what is happening to their bodies. In fact the entire time the victims ARE alive
I know, but normal zombies are very distorted when they talk but you can kinda understand the zombines when the talk.
MaiYass actually the regular zombies are talking sense just backwards so reverse it and you,ll here them scream "GOD HELP HELP ME" pretty terrifying if you ask me

2:26 it's "extractor is" not "restrictors" and it makes no sense anyways for the situation.
the combine soldiers say "extrator is live" when they are throwing a grenade at you during combat
I hear it restricor
Combine Soldiers have vocoders instead of vocal cords. As far as I remember, they have to think or something to speak. So speaking isn't all that hard.
The reason they have vocoders instead is because the combine wanted the soldiers to communicate even if there lunges are entirely gone...kinda dark
Combine: Do you copy?
Zombine: Sector is... not secure...
Combine: .....*dies of fear*
Edit: How this many likes wtf xd
Combine can't feel fear or caution, the surgerys altered them mentally and physically but they still feel pain and other emotions, which explains why the zombines pull out a grenade so they can end the pain as fast as possible because the headcrab dosent control it's entire victim, during the transformation the victim is conscious and fully aware of whats happening.
Thats actually not a stupid comment
@@Anon-mu8re i dont really know how a creature from a really far planet or dimension is relatable with a completely different body and how its able to control our muscles by just humping our heads and waiting there for 2 hours

I'd rather die than being controlled by a headcrab
Go home combine soldier, you're drunk.

If you reverse the zombie pain sound while burning its says"help god help"
Literally everyone knows.
Great job,columbus
Yeah every one knows..that was stupid comment
We know.
"Secrets"
Since zombines say "necrotics inbound" when they see you means they think you're a zombie. also when the pull out a grenade the say "bouncer" so they alert themselves about their own grenade. Also 1:41 *t* *a* *r* *g*
Imagine just chillin', enforcing the combine law. Then suddenly, through your radio one of your fellow squad members groans and speaks distortedly. You know he cannot be saved, yet you have to listen to his warnings and moans. Dark, isn't it.
Zombines have the most control when being influenced by a headcrab. They can even pull out their grenades to kill Gordon and themselves as a “last mission”
i poop my pants when i see headcrab in game. imagine how it would be to see it in real life...
*sad headcrab noises*
lmao just cover your face , headcrabs only jump on your face to put you down then it humps your head
A spiked helmet is probably the best protection
@@TheFlodyo Yeah. Like a Pickelhaube helmet.
You must poop your pants a lot playing half life.
This is a torture for the part of the combine who is being controlled and being devour by yhr headcrab and trying to warn his comrades to the danger
What's heard at 0:43 isn't the radio, but a zombie gasp. All the dialogue is cut up, slowed, or interrupted by the uneven breaths of the headcrab controlling the body. Which varies from shaky breaths, gasps, raspy exhales, snarls, and other wet throaty sounds.
0:13 what is that guy holding is it a Pepsi soda can with green vege juice inside it I never played half life before so idk what it is @@*#/##/(--“”####

Hello Zombine! I used to be a combine! .....oh!
rip Combine :'(
1:10 I like the sound of the radio
“Biotic *gag* overrun”
*RRRR*
Me walking towards the kitchen at 2 AM and i hear my mom eating something 1:20
2:15 the time that soldier trying to move but he cant because of headcrab stuck on his head until the infestation
Shhhhhiiiittttttt!!!
The kind of disturbing thing about this is at the end of the zombine idles you can hear the radio beep which means the other combines which are not infected hear the voices of fallen combines warning them about headcrabs
Imagine you are the last combine alive in ravenholm, you start to hear your body's slowly talking in a distorted voice, You don't know the location or where it's coming from, but it is like it knows where you are.
2:16 is just low pitched version of Tyler1 making car sounds
the fact some of these lines are being broadcasted over radio makes me want a game where you play as a team of combines trying to clear a headcrab infested area, and when a teammate dies and gets taken over these sounds play over the radio every so often, imagine how horrofying it'd be
"hey man just cleared the warehouse, how's it looking over there"
*silence*
"you good man?"
and then garbled screaming pours out of the radio
The zombie are one of the most sad creatures in the entirety of half-life as they still seem to be alive, just not in control
Two small corrections:
One of the pain sounds had the soldiers saying “Medical-“, which was used from “Request Medical”
The first grenade line was “Extractors…”, I believe that the line originated from “Ready Extractors”.
Last man Combine soldier: ...
Zombine: Bouunceeerrr......
Combine soldier : *IM FAST AS FAK BOIII...
*on the radio*
Combine: Is anyone still alive?
*a minute passes, confirming him the worst.*
*then suddenly he hears the radio go off, in a weird, but, familiar voice*
Zombine:Sector.... isn't secure.
Huh, really fucking creepy.... Especially how the hosts can still feel all pain and they're still alive. (don't believe me? try setting a regular hl2 zombie on fire then reversing the sound of it on fire)
Zombine: Hey Gordon, think fast ( Pulls a grenade )
Gordon with Gravity gun: ...( Throws )
I know the sector is not secure one
sector is clear!
_Seeeector_ ....... _Is Cleaaaaaaarrrr_
NOT CLEAR NOT CLEAR!
in the vj regular zombie when it has a combine skin on it, it will make combine noises with some music sounds in it lol
I actually find this quite interesting, as its known, Default Headcrab Zombies are still very much alive, and this logic properly applies to the Zombine.
Some are probably questioning why the *Former* Zombine is headless when killed. Possible reasoning behind this is, as the Combine Soldiers themselves are pretty much Synthetic Humanoids at this point, and its known that Combine helmets are surgically attached to their heads, excluding Civil Protection, as they're still pretty much human, as what we see from Barney, as he can remove his helmet mask.
Regarding this fact, its possibly safe to assume that the Headcrab has to attach itself to the Combine's helmet then penetrate that, then the skull, thus when the headcrab is removed, it takes the whole head, aside from the lower jaw. This logic doesnt apply to the default zombie, as the host has no helmet, thus the beak of the headcrab can directly puncture the skull.
We can assume this logic for the Zombine would apply to the Elite as well, if there was an Elite variant of the Zombine, which can probably be said for a Zombie Metrocop as well.
Just imagine being a grunt and then noticing your commanding officer has disappeared, only to hear him on the radio like this. Since grunts still have a sense of humanity just imagine how they would react.
The real reason why zombines don't have heads is because they attack you by holding up a grenade upon their head which explodes the head off.
Animation maker Mccarty But if you just shoot off the headcrab, they will also be headless with only their lower jaw attached to the body. Which means any attempt at removing the headcrab will instantly result in the host getting beheaded
They're committing suicide. The amount of pain those Zombines are in are so excruciatingly painful that they'd rather blow themselves up than continue living.
Shits sucks, man.
mycatisafascist Well thats not the case because they do it when youre around.
Stanciu Sebastian Maybe it's just a coincidence? Who knows, they're headcrabs.
Stanciu Sebastian problem with "they suicide to kill you" is that they are parasites , they need a alive body to leach onto , or not a blown up one , so why would they sacrifice themselves to turn a possible host into a pile of ripped apart meat and kill other headcrabs in the process?
Headcrab wanting to suicide is unlikely so it is probably soldiers just pulling out a grenade as soon as the headcrab gets distracted by the player to end their own suffering*
The fact that the Zombine is still desperately trying to warn Overwatch about an infestation shows how brainwashed and dedicated they are to the Combine...
Just imagine:
You're a combine soldier with his squad on a mission to find the missing teams
then one of the radios turn on and you hear "Sector is....not secure" you question the situation and again, the radio boots up "necrotics nearby..."
You are terrified, you continue but your guard is up all the time, next thing you hear " Biotic overrun" very close to your location and then they charge you, grenades in hand screaming.
You open fire but there are too many, headcrabs start taking your teammates one by one and you're the only one left, you run but you can hear the radio booting up behind you.
Terrifying thought, eh?
i bet theres gonna be one of these comments in your comment that says "cOmBiNe dOnT hAvE eMoTiOn"

I can't really empathize with them, they're heavily modified humans with yes, still SOME emotion, only some, but not much, but there is evidence for some emotion in them.
Imagine fighting as a combine soldier and hearing your zombie teamate talking to you
when you're in ravenholm
Gamer: *cassualy walking*
Zombine: Sector... ( *breath* ) ...is not secure...
Gamer:aight imma head out.
Zombine's don't dwell in Ravenholm since Ravenholm is a Refugee camp, they had to use Headcrab Pods since it was a village with alot of openings.
Actually i know this but i wanted to do like a meme kind of thing.
@@N1ckky_
But why use Ravenholm?
It has a scary vibe. Y'now... Headcrab pods, dead bodies...

honestly its like their trying to warn off any backup or inbound help so they don't make the same mistake of being caught its almostheartwarming

0:32 the footsteps are slowed down cersion because Zombine is a zombie army
i would like to think of this as most combine soldiers have been modified to such an extend that even the headcrabs do not have total control over them

Its broke you idiot
Felix Hightower it kinda freaks me out
Even after becoming zombies. Bromance will never vanish.

Even as infected they still try and do there job, outstanding commitment.

Its a zombine
dude imagine wearing craigs mask from that one band slipknot in hl2
Sector is... *NOT secure!* Thanks for that obvious info, Zombine.
