I made this video on a whim a year ago, kinda surprised it's sitting at over 100,000 views. I might remake it at some point since the gunfire sfx isn't very exciting.
Imagine being a combine soldier guarding some random beach when in the distance the ant-lion towers start being disabled, apprehension and evasion starts quiet but slowly gets louder, overwatch starts freaking out, alarms turns on, some goofy scientist wearing bright orange surrounded by ant-lions rushes your position, you try to call for backup but its too late, the scientist is at your bunker entrance staring at you, he tosses an alien ball at you and ant-lions start eating you as the man backhops away.
You know...I can imagine how scared I would be on the inside. But by that same token, imagine how proud I would be of myself to be throwing myself into the face of certain death at the hands of an anticitizen-led biotic outbreak, even knowing full well that any fear, Hell, ANY cognitive dissonance I have WHATSOEVER, is constantly kept purged by regular firmware and wetware updates downloaded to me from the Combine Overnet, the same updates that flush out my less useful memories, and not only am I left with the best training in professional soldiering that an intergalactic army can shove into a man's head, but that even when sending out a panicked final transmission, the vocoder jammed all the way through my neck leaves me sounding every bit as calm, collected and cool-as-a-cucumber as a veteran fighter pilot turned commercial airline pilot giving his passengers the "this is your captain" speech.
Yknow, if I were a Combine or Metropolice and a man coated in Blood, Feces, Sweat and Tears carrying a bunch of guns with a horde of antlions speeding my way? I would shit my pants
@@A1rWaxta The OTA units still feel emotions, they're just very serious about their position and brainwashed to be undyingly loyal to the combine. They still feel emotions like fear. For example they scream and swear when you throw a grenade at the snipers through the window.
Imagine normally patrolling the inside of np just hearing thousands of bullets and flatlines and hearing a antlion horde rapidly approaching inside and then the last thing you see is a man in a orange suit ordering the antlions to eat you with a strange ball
I love how once you're actually in the building, the ambience track is combine deaths meaning in other places the combine are being swamped by antlions
@@Jerome18921The Combine does not do that, it would be a waste of resources. I believe they breed humans off world to fuel their war machine and use them to fight in countless wars without rest.

@@donichiro Half Life is easily a top 10 best fps games ever. If someone puts Half Life at number two at best fps games ever i won't object that. But the best fps game is truly Half Life 2. Half Life 2 could be the best game ever even.
@@donichiro I have only seen praise for Half Life 2. Many people put Half Life 2 above Half Life and again many people consider Half Life 2 as the best fps ever. I really haven't seen any criticism about Half Life 2. I love Half Life 2 more than Half Life.
Such a bad ass level. You can't top HL2's soundtrack and atmosphere. The sound design in general for HL2 is top notch. Love Overwatch soldiers radio chatter as well it adds to the whole experience.
Let's be honest. Even the most brain-washed Combine soldier would shit his pants, upon seeing an army of biotics being organized and commanded by the anti-citizen one.
Just like any normal guard duty on Nova Prospekt... You manned the AR machine gun post inside the bunker that guards the Shoreline... Its typically quiet as usual.. Thumpers doing their own thing to keep the Antlions at bay, But then suddenly... They stopped.. Leaving you and your comrades nervous and confused of what is happening... And then the Overwatch opened up in the Local coms... *Priority Warning. Outland stabilization force: Six Nova Prospekt.* *Perimeter restrictors disengaged.* *Priority Warning. Perimeter restrictors disengaged.* (Song plays...) You realized that the thumpers got manually disabled.. Was it the malfunctions? Your Comrade's stupid mistake? Or the local power generators are going too low to power the Thumpers? *Priority warning: Perimeter restrictors disengaged.* *All stabilization delegates move to incursion hard points- Immediately.* Moving in with the other Guards, You set out from the Prison to settle and hold against the Antlion invasion... Gunshots, Alarms sounding out, Radio chatter buzzing even more than usual as you step unto the Shoreline... Suddenly... You noticed a glimpse of up-coming man.. Not just any ordinary man... *But its Gordon Freeman himself with bunch of Antlions, Following his command as he holds the Bug-Bait.*
It's antlion mating season. Really, there should be a series of extraordinate circumstances leading to so tight of security collapse (as artisticly portrayed) under a man with crowbar. And increase in antlion activity should be on of them.
I think we forget how much the HEV suit carries. it the thing that allowed Gordon do to such things, without it he would die in like 4 hits from a pistol and with it he can tank a AR2 alt fire wich basicly evaporates all lving tissue it hits.
they should make a new game for us playing an elite combine soldier. they are really charismatic and eye-catching but valve is just wasting their potential throwing to garbage
I wonder, what if the story was about an elite combine soldier that had a brain with different development features that caused some part of the previous person to stay in the new host (the elite soldier), that way they still listen to the combine but will often feel curious at times, way too curious... I think someone can fill up the details from here
This reminds me of D Day that the prison guards are the germans defending Omaha Beach and then gordon freeman arrives as an US captain and he orders his antlion soldiers to rush up the beach

makes me feel like my grandpa, even though i know damn well my grandpa was a italo-mexican born in 1952

i love the touch that the alarms started blaring right on the beat drop
Is it just me or the distant gunfire and radio communication made the track sound better
The song *is* meant to play alongside gameplay, so it makes sense that it'd be better that way.
Everybody is a gangsta till radio says ''Viscon, men down, 11-99''
I forgot what that means.
@@Sapphiregamer8605 It means "I have visuals on the enemy, men down, requesting backup."

Such a bad ass level. You can't top HL2's soundtrack and atmosphere. The sound design in general for HL2 is top notch. Love Overwatch soldiers radio chatter as well it adds to the whole experience.
Meanwhile, in the mind of Freeman: I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROOOOACHING
The sounds should be in the distance and slowly increasing in volume from dim to loud throughout the video
"MY BOYS ATTACK"
This is what the stationed combine over watch soliders hear before getting mauled to death by antlions
average metrocop recalling the days of the freeman's uprising
Finally bringing the fight to the Combine after running from them the entire time is super satisfying
Let's be honest. Even the most brain-washed Combine soldier would shit his pants, upon seeing an army of biotics being organized and commanded by the anti-citizen one.
Spot the HL2RPer
This song first played when the combine went after Gordon, it was last played when Gordon went after the combine.
i feel sorry for the combine, fighting a highly trained professional must be hard for them
Ahh yes, the anthem for the Bug Hunt achivement
Ok now this is cool. Love it!
and yeah, this level gives huge D-day vibes
Imagine how scary this must be for the combine in Nova Prospekt
this is D-Day but 1 man versus 100 alien hazmat suited aliens that dies to a crowbar
