A Black Mesa welcome for the HECU! (SFM)

- An SFM project I was working on for a bit to improve my skills. Based in the Half-Life Universe, It's meant to be a collection of recordings recovered from the facility left by the HECU.
Hope you all enjoy it!

I would like these Marines to go after the author of the video and other furries.
Same. I hate those guys! Let's include edgy 9 year olds too!
@@VictoriaFurLife Unlike you, I don't draw 18+ animal art.
@@Marine_2010 Well i actually don't! :3
@@AntiFurry2010 Don't worry, it's tears of joy
although, why furries, specifically?
I love this, “It’s like the gulf all over again, hot damn!”
Just good old 90s
You definitely have the qualifications😂
Really good. Got that Persian gulf War vibes, with the dark undertone of worse things to come.
That was the idea. Since the Black Mesa and occurred in the early 2000s. And with the HECU Being a special forces unit of the Marine Corps, I presumed that many of them would be Gulf war veterans.
The Black Mesa incident was much worse than the Gulf War
@@Atomix7_137OK. Nobody said it wasn't and no one asked either...
Yeah, they thought its gonna be like gulf war but instead landed in interdimensional nam💀 @@Atomix7_137
This is genuinely a really good concept.
I was originally going to do a lot more, but i eventually moved on to other things instead of SFM. I might finish it someday, or start from scratch. Glad you liked it!
Bro going to add somethung in his GMod
I didn’t expect to see you here
He definitely took a references from Full Metal Jacket - Paranoid video. I don't like he didn't mention it.
@@ghostcat9621 I actually have zero Inspirations outside of IRL war footage. I've never seen Full Metal Jacket or the Paranoid video you're mentioning.
I used Paranoid because its used often as "Military Rock" in similar military based projects.
Everyone Gangsta until some scientist wearing a power suit starts weakening them
Ofc and don't forget one of hecu that defeat alien x
@@iorie06
Him vs Gordon
Who gone win?
Both, Shephard wasn’t briefed about him
@@BlackSago_ valve should make them fight until combine came and would make a teamwork against combine
@@iorie06 they were both in stasis, so they probably fighted (without their "government weapons") or maybe gman separated them
@@BlackSago_ lmao if they both give assignment by gman I think they will team up
Best sequel of Vietnam War.
Probably, only Vietnam War 2 from Blood Dragon's universe comes close.
Taliban:
First time, Murica got its ass bit by trees and commies. The Black Mesa Incident, god may have mercy, it is somehow more depressing than Apocalypse Now....
Got too real, I’ve seen too many warzone cellphone videos and I think you might have too. Good job lol
Yep, I most certainly have! My basic idea is that since the Rssonace cascade occurred in the early 2000s, and with the HECU being special forces, my headcanon is that many were Gulf War vets. Leading to that Gulf War mentality being present in many of them, hence a lot of the "Merica F yeah" filming at the start.
@@VictoriaFurLife Scarier fact, most, like Shepherd, somehow just got accepted into the training program, with or without the assistance of a G-Man. Some knew combat and were itching, most were bare-bones new. Great work on capturing the vibe!
One of the HECU Marine uncovered a friend camera, Command say this was meant to be a coverup mission. Although, we are sending more witnesses which is us.
The black ops:
@@BlackmesaScientistEmployee
Nobody told about Black Ops in the mission briefing.
This is one of the few videos I've seen where the HECU Marines are actually using Marine Corps aircraft lol (Sea Knight, Cobra etc)
Awesome animation!
Thanks! I'm a nerd for military history, so I did everything I could to make it both accurate, but still true to the OG half life.
Thanks for your support!
Bonus points for using the remastered HECU realism models. That weird yet awesome mix of early 2000s military gear sprinkled in with some mid 70-80s PASGT and ALICE gear. Since Black Mesa takes place around the 2000s (probably somewhere around 2005 or smthn considering the gear), seeing more new (for the time) Interceptor body armour and Lightweight Helmets mixed in with older ALICE packs and webbings, PASGT helmets and vests and M40 gas masks creates an oddly unique and standout design for the HECU.
Best way I can describe it is being at the first footsteps of the modern day we associate with the US military (Afghanistan, Iraq War, Horn of Africa etc). Edging closer to more modern kit yet still old enough to be hauling around 70s-80s gear because it wasn’t entirely phased out and not everyone got access to the new toys and gear, as they were still kinda new (but because the HECU are high-speed and at least MEU-SOC if they aren’t special operations, they still get them earlier).
Nice.
I love how everything is accurate
Like you Replace The Apache Into Ah1 Viper
Which Its Was Used By The Marines
Then replaces the V-22 with a CH-47, which is used by the Army. Granted, HECU already was probably cross branch.
Uhh... what year the V-22 Osprey was served in the Marines as MV-22, and what kind of Transport Helicopter that the Marines used?
@@mystyle_jm8997 osprey first flight on 1989
What makes you think HECU was just strictly marines? Military sent to Black Mesa was made up of mix of branches. That's why we also get to see black operations later on.
@@jerry12314 The HECU is strictly composed by Marines. The Black Ops were just sent as a last resort, due to the failure of the original cleanup operation by the HECU, which is why Black Ops kills HECU as well.
that marine falling off the catwalk with a headcrab on his head lol
He went right over lol!
I liked how in the first few seconds in the vid the hecu are joking around, shooting bms. But it slowly turns into confusion and panic.
Man it's amazing! Honestly seeing the horrors of black mesa through a grainy camera is a really unique change I haven't really seen yet for a black mesa SFM. I also like the gulf war vibes from this.
What I never understood is why HECU was so giddy to kill, particularily security guards. Those are extra guns and they are supposed to work with HECU in events like this
True. They were a containment team but somehow their orders switched from rescuing and screening survivors coordinate with them, pacifying hostiles to killing everyone and everything. This is apparent in some special dialogues in HL1, Opposing Force and Blue Shift that they were led to believe the disaster was caused by saboteurs in the science team and were treated as terrorists. This is also why they were keen on apprehending Freeman before he became a real threat to them believing he was solely responsible.
Anyway this is really my biggest problem when they made Half-Life 2 and dismissed all the interesting conspiracy theory lore of the first game and just switched to a new setting.
@@jerry12314 Well I think that, most likely the HECU would now be seen as traitors to the country and to humanity itself especially given that the coverup failed miserably.
Marines. That's why
It is criminal that this only has 186 views
1.3K views now, in just 2 days! No idea why this popped off so much! This video is a new milestone for the channel! Thanks for watching.
@@VictoriaFurLife107k...
Unironically good concept of found footage.
I have no idea why this got so popular, but thank you guys so much! As someone who before this video never broke 1K views, this has been insane for me. I am grateful for all the support. And I welcome all the new people. Im not sure if I'll get around to finishing this anytime soon. But the support is definitely pushing me to eventually.
For the nearly (at this moment) 40 new subs, and viewers that will stick around without subscribing, I'm not an SFM channel! I just post whatever I enjoy, so please keep that in mind.
hell yeah
I have no idea why this got so popular...
duh
probably because it looks awesomely real.
keep it up.
@rivafox pin the one that said furry pfp, give em the pin of shame
@@pyro7784 Unfortunately you can't pin replies.
Me and the hecu squad at black mesa be like:
"Whatta we do! One of the civilians we're trying to murder is daring to fight back! We can't handle it, sarge!" That's how HECU be.
I fucking love this. I always love when fictional events are demonstrated in a realistic setting, and Half-Life is my favorite video game franchise. I certainly hope you make more videos like this!
Well done. The ending was grim.
It was appropriate.
i love the fucking helmet cam and everything it’s so good
The fact that we’re currently viewing the video from the recording helmet cam means that this dude not only survived but kept a camera and helmet safe aswell and made it home to develop the film
It's everything I've ever wanted, my God
The military’s gonna recruit you to make ads for them if they see this.
S tier content for half life
This is good as hell!
he enjoyed his trip :)
Thanks for adding to my love for that gulf war/early GWOT aesthetic and making me love that HECU drip
This is awesome man
I appreciate that '90s reference and even the equipment. Some don't get that the Black Mesa incident supposedly happened in the year 2000.
2000-2009 date is unknown
This is great! I love the idea of this, and I can't wait to see more as your skills improve! Keep up the good work~!
I can imagine one of the marines recording his buddy fist fight a guard
its nice to unexpectedly hear my fav metal song Paranoid.
Imagine some of these vids being published on the half-life's world liveleak page
Well done VHS type POV of the HECU, really hope we get something like opposing force of HL to Black Mesa
You need to make it a full-fledged project. Love the idea
Daaaamn!!!
This is amazing, I know you made this as a test concept but getting a real platoon/full metal jacket vibe from this
If you ever made a full length animation with this theme I'm sure it would be amazing 😁
My uncle was one of the bravest soldier in the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, or in their own literature "hazzarders", i remember my dad used to make so much fun of the Z letter. According to military, he was bravely fought in the Lambda core until his IFAK's gone. His dad had also fought in both WW2 (at his 16 years of age) and Korean war as a sharpshooter. His and my grandpa's legacy will continue over and over generations. I won't let him forgotten.
That's simply amazing. Your uncle was one courageous man, very few had the luxury to serve at black mesa. Thank you for sharing this!
Wish there was a shepherd in the background looking skeptical and worried about the executions.
He got shot down before meeting up with the guys that did those executions methinks
This was cool to watch it was indeed “like the gulf again”
I would see a series about these grunts.
You got one more sub ,keep up with the good work like this :)
bro this is super cool, you've done great
That’s actually dope
My only complaint is I don’t think the marines would be that giddy and would film them shooting civilians. Considering their US marines being ordered to execute US citizens, they’d be a lot less jolly and joking about it.
I always thought that they were told exaggerated stories and lies about what was going on at Black Mesa before they were sent in, hence the hostility and willingness to gun down their own. That, or due to Gordon hopping around killing jarheads, they take their frustration out on civilians because Gordon, to them, is also one. Maybe they just assume every BM staff member is working against them or a part of Gordon’s rampage.
Idk, whatever the reason may be it still works out in context of the video. Just a banger edit emulating the kind of stuff you’d expect to see on a shitty camcorder in Iraq.
@@TemmieContingenCa long time ago I read that HECU was told that Black Mesa intentionally threw aliens from Xen to Earth, hence the hostility
i can say you never saw any real war footage
@@PALADINKILLIAN-1403 I think what's more relevant is the fact that the black mesa operation was a COVER UP mission. I don't think there would be any cameras allowed.
@@mr.manmccheese7240 I guess a better question to ask is how they were expecting maybe an entire regiment or even brigade’s worth of Marines to stay quiet after this cleanup operation. HECU come off less like special forces who work in small teams in the background and more like Rangers or even just MEU-SOC, direct action and large scale apparatus. I feel like a lot of these jarheads would go back broken and disenfranchised and whistleblow the whole operation.
Hecu after falling their only mission and letting the planet and the humanity at the mercy of a nerd guy in orange suit:
i still love this video and i every will
I love it
I love this video It's pretty good
"I don't know what a Gordon Freeman or Black Mesa is. But whatever they are, they piss me off!"
-HECU Soldier
i absolutley love that concept
They won’t be smiling once the Combine arrive.
Nah they wont be even smiling after forget about freeman chapter
@@iusemyrealnamebefore
Good point.
uh oh its a orange ice pop with a crowbar
HECU goes hard, but I think Marines would be slightly more sensitive to killing their own countrymen, especially civies.
Beautiful ❤
Nice job on this Riva. I just got into doing Half Life SFM stuff myself. :)
I find it kind of funny how the HECU marines at the start are kind of acting like it’s a vacation then only a few days later everything just goes to shit. I just imagine this:
hecu: Hell yeah! Let’s get this Freeman fucker!
*a few days later…*
hecu: FORGET ABOUT FREEMAN WE ARE CUTTING OUR LOSSES AND PULLING OUT!!
Shock awe ... heilcopters....
Gordon: "Imma end this army's whole career
WHEN THE TREES STARTS SPEAKING THE LANGUAGES OF ALL HALF LIFE CREATURES
this is INSANELY GOOD
I mean I wouldn't be surprised if some HECU units had been recording what was going during the Black Mesa incident.
0:05 literally that sounds like my name not even kidding
1:38, HOLY ____ GOOSE 3'S DOWN GOOSE 3'S DOWN -some random marinine
Muy bueno muy bueno! 👍 😮😊 saludos desde Argetina 🇦🇷

I LOVE THIS LMAO
0:55, imagine a helmet/body cam single player focused FPS from the point of view of the HECU Marines during the Black Mesa incident. I'd buy it.
Great video, awesome track used too.
Aside from the murder of civies, HECU is pretty badass ngl.
The fortunate son of Black Mesa & HECU
Amazing work done here
0:34 Lead writer of BGS approve this action as a part of "good guy" story
everybody gangsta till Freeman shows up
It would be cool to see them go after freeman
American military upon seeing strange aliens in some random research facility in Texas: "Cowabunga it is!"
An excellent choice of song for this my guy. Well done with this its badass
The truth is that it is great for a plot, a group of soldiers of a branch that are predisposed to be total heartless killers... who see how little by little their world falls apart.
Just took some aliens and one nerd with a crowbar.
It would be cool if we could see them go after freeman
poking the dead head crab 😂😂😂
this is pretty much everything that happened while Adrian was knocked out and when Gordon wasnt murdering the H.E.C.U.
join the hl1 hecu, and you can perhaps get headcrab mre
Nice Choice of music!
lovely
this is so coo,l
nice
Animation is a bit rough, but I like the concept.
Just imagine if the HECU were competent
Like Gulf Qar again, thisbis a very nice animation, good job!
Idk if half life ever got the "X but you're Y" treatment but this is pretty damn close.
from the title I expected Grodon Freeman to show up and waste a tonne of them
had alot of fun killin civies till the untold horrors the wrath of god came upon them lol
Angry birds 😅
its all fun and games until the giant evil baby is killed and then some portal storms happen
we need a remastered of this
Hecu the best
1:33 Is this a reference to the beginning of Half Life: Opposing Force?
Marines doing marine things
this is the most american thing i ever seen because with the music on
Gentlemen welcome to Black Mesa
Generation Xen
(Generation Kill but its HL1)
Half life opposing force.
cool
