For me, the saddest part is that the team is taking orders from a quasi-sentient AI that’s directing them as if they haven’t already lost. It’s too stupid to understand that maintaining control over a small command post offers no strategic advantage whatsoever and the officers don’t know what else to do but follow orders.

0:11 "Shit!" This line is actually pretty revealing, considering that it's spoken by the Overwatch Soldiers, and not the Civil Protectors, in response to seeing a grenade near themselves. The tendency of the standard Combine Soldiers to use expletives in response to stressful situations means that they aren't 100% brainwashed zombies, they just can't disobey their superiors. In contrast, I don't think Combine Elites ever speak unless it's necessary to, such as when sending messages over the radio
You are actually correct, if you look at some videos for Combine Elite radio chatter they only say codes and numbers, and occasionally some scattered jargon.
From what ive read and experienced, the only combine who say "shit!" Are the snipers, originally the line is from a CP but for some reason valve decided to put it as a sound the combine sniper makes, maybe mistake, a joke or as a sound cue, the combine yell ripcord or something similar when a granade is near them. In any case the combine sniper is more human than other overwatch soldiers, that is if the line was on purpose
False, REPLACES all memories of the victim with military experince, causing them to be able to fight well along with brainwashing with combine proganda, combine emotions are not FULLLY repressed however they rarely show most emotions
2:26 Imagine the fear slowly building in the metrocops at the time of their pursuit of Gordon as they hear more and more reports of "lost bio-signals" for their fellow metrocops!!!!!
Mind you, the combine are HEAVILY augmented humans. The combine has a better chance of struggling against the headcrab's control of its nervous system allowing it to warn the others.
You would think the Combine would put a metal spike on their soldiers helmet or something so they wouldn't get self owned by their own headcrab shells.
but then again either soldiers or cp units are expected to work together and with profession if you all properly coordinate there shouldn't be any losses mostly to headcrab I'm guessing or something idk
Thanks! :) I'll try to make a couple more, but unfortunately, it might just get repetitive with the voice files being limited (there are a lot though and they can be combined like in this video.) This was originally meant to include a short film layered on top, might do something like that in the future.
I actually wanted to have some simple animations, kinda of like menu screens from hl2 throghout this video. I started working on one in hammer actually, but I quickly realized it would take a bit too long to make it the quality I wanted it to be.
Nomad 4 isn't Civil Protection, it's Zombine.. And it's a bit mixed up: "Protection team" refers to CP team, while "Stabilization team" means squad of combine soldiers.
ceu160193 the original idea was the cp being so desperate they ask for overwatch assistance, but the unit they were requesting was all dead except for the one zombine.
@EpiDemic117 Makes fighting them seem scarier, though!!!!!! Makes them seem superhuman!!!! You'd think it'd be painful and shocking to them to be suddenly injected by their suits too, wouldn't you??????? :(
That "anti-fatigue ration" is probably methamphetamine or one of its pharmaceutical derivatives like Adderall. 3 mg seems like the right amount to give a short-term boost in energy and focus. (Source: I take Adderall)
PS The Nazis use to give their soldiers methamphetamine to keep them sharp and focused on the battlefield, and North Korea gives methamphetamine to its troops (to keep them motivated) and its citizens (to distract them from their poverty/misery). That "anti-fatigue ration" is _definitely_ "Combat Meth." amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/276429/ www.worldpoliticsreview.com/insights/27839/what-s-behind-the-growing-use-of-illicit-drugs-in-north-korea
if i ain't mistaken the Nomad unity is a prison guard designation. they are soldiers not CP, this one in particular probably got turned into a necrotic (zombie) due to a headcrab attack... or just reused soundfiles to give the impression that Nomad 4 was overwhelmed by headcrabs or zombies...
@@rebel6301 No, the explosion was caused by the dark fusion reactor being destabilized by Gordon. Even though it was being powered by the reactor, the portal had nothing to do with the explosion.
4:17 Did Defender-3 kill himself? The Overwatch voice said there was no activity on his location.. He figured out he was the very last Civil Protection Officer alive, he only did it for the extra's. Volunitarily. He had to provide extra for his family, or just for himself. Survival of the fittest.. He knew he was the last one alive, unable to stop the Resistance. He figured the only way out is the cowards way out. He just wanted a better life, despite the CP Service being known as bullies and sadists.. They all just wanted a better life in a time of global crisis and genocide.. :/
Considering that them trying to get a "better life" results in them making the global crisis and genocide even worse while reducing the ability to stop it, and that they acts bullies and sadists at every opportunity, your attempt to whitewash Civil Protection is jarring.
If I had to guess it means being converted into a stalker. It’s a threat to insure that the remaining officers carry out the “sacrifice code” which I assume means something along the lines of “you are expected to carry out this order to your death.” “Permanent off-world assignment” is not enough of a threat in this context since you at least get to keep your life.
If I was overwacth. I'd send 10.000 soldiers to help with striders And gunships And a few dropships for evacuating the wounded Then I send in a air strike
Journey awaits More like having his head fucking cracked open and eaten by a headcrab then trying to fight off the brain control long enough to try and report his sector was overrun to warn others/follow protocol. Fucking Dedicated and hardcore Combine soldier.
Makes me wonder how many CPs switched sides during the uprising. Surely a fair number ditched the Combine and surrendered and then joined the Rebels, assuming they were weren't executed for betraying their species of course, probably a lot of resentment for that. But if Barney was able to infiltrate the CPs then surely others had to as well. Really makes me wish we had Rebels wearing CP unifroms with the Lambda symbol painted on it, either taken from CPs, or Rebel spies. Would have been cool to see.
Here you go man, that's the original resolution, not the biggest but should fit for most people and it doesn't look bad upscaled to let's say 2560x1440 or something. imgur.com/of85NeF
What I love so much about the CP's is how absolutely fucked they were at the end of Half Life 2/Episode 1. They obviously knew that the entire city's going to blow in a matter of hours, but unlike the Overwatch forces don't have the dedication to stay behind and insure the citadel blows and take as many rebels as possible with it. So their only option is to disobey direct orders, which is an *almost* guaranteed death sentence unless they can find protection. Yet if they try to seek refuge with the rebels in evacuating the city they're practically guaranteed to be lynched by the rebels who, only a few weeks earlier, were being beaten senseless by them. Their only option is to try and become a third party and seize evac points for themselves, which is why you have to fight a squad of them off at the end of Episode one. The Overwatch forces only really care about killing freeman, but the CP's only care about not dying. Honestly if there was ever a Half Life game in the vein of Opposing Force, it'd have to be the CP's that are focused on.
The CP are not bio-mechanically modified and are just normal humans who have that job. So when things went bad they could probably think like humans were as the other combine are obligated and can't deny orders.
@@SirKolass Probably, given the situation the Rebels may not deny news guns, members and body armor from defecting CP Units, but there's the realistic chance of CPs being beaten or killed on the spot as payback for basically being race traitors last week, guess it depends how lucky the units are to meet a band of rebels feeling desperate for help The ones who banded together to try and steal evac points for themselves probably had no faith that the rebels could actually fight off the Combine, or assumed that there's no way they can merge with them and they can't stick with the Overwatch either, so the only option they assumed would work was going rogue
I just thought of something. So most civil protection officers probably joined the combine to avoid oppression from them (Or at least a slightly better life.) and freeman and the resistance just mows 'em down.
70% of them were just abusive dicks. "They don't have a reason to come to our place" "Don't worry they'll find one" There's a reference to a beating quota (Though it might not be real it would still imply they beat prisoners a lot) The non-dicks are the ones that deserted when Nova-prospekt blew up.
Defender-3: Contact, Anti-Citizen One, sector is not secure. Overwatch: Defender-3; restrict and contain. Defender-3: Overwatch! Requesting immediate air-born vehicle! Overwatch: Defender-3; Meal Ration reduced to 5 rations. Report Please. Defender-3: No casualties. No opportunity to fire. Target ran past Defender Team at high velocity while flying on a wooden pallet. ... Defender-3: Target also spoke about performing a "360" on a CP unit. Overwatch: Eeeey yo WAT?!
The thing is I don't think they joined out of fear but out of loyalty through propaganda they seem dedicated they are taking massive cassulties but still seem to think some how they will pull through
Did you hear that NOMAD 4 warning its friendlies? So headcrabs take the control of the body, but does it not take away the will of the host? It is seriously dark and creepy...
That ending was really interesting. The fact that there was a robot voice counting down the time to the singularity. Which means someone had to program the system to recognize that possibility as even being an option. Which is a bit of a shocker to me. I'm pretty sure the combine wouldn't do that. They don't want the human race to survive, or at least not without them. And as such, I can't imagine the combine wuld let the humans know of the potential possibility regarding the singularity, just so they could encode the count down warning into the electronic system of the facility. This has gman written all over it!
Armin studios+gman is behind everything. Even the explosion that destroyed the citadel. The countdown couldn't have been made by humans. The combine wouldn't let that happen. The combine would have no need for it as they would rather destroy humans than let them be freed. Gman made it. Gman is behind everything.
Deutsche Hierarchie Assuming you refer to the countdown during level where you must stop Breen from teleporting off world, since it's the only time we hear this message, gman had nothing to do with the countdown. Overwatch was just announcing the message to Breen and the combine soldiers present during the final stages of the off-world relocation. This message was only meant for combine to hear, as they never expected someone that isn't affiliated with the combine to ever make it up there I fail to see the relevance of your statement
I'm pretty sure it's not a voice supposed to be triggered at an event, rather I think it is a low-level AI tasked with informing Overwatch and Civil Protection of events and orders. It probably realized what's going on and merely contacted Soldiers to move out of the city.
Hearing the Overwatch AI voice say on the radio after the last unit had possibly ended his life "Unit Deserviced, Airwatch copies no activity in location" is quite haunting knowing an AI is giving calls and orders to units no longer in service and its completely alone in a desolate city.
0:36 and forward, to me sounds like a they had confronted a citizen or a rebel who dropped a grenade or IED as a sort of suprise attack, probably during a riot of some kind maybe in a part of the city that still had large civil unrust before it turned into the full scale streetwar.
A lot of people wonder what .Overwatch:Rank Leaders-Reminder;100 Steralized Credits qualifies Non-mechanical Reproduction Simulation. Its a type of a machine that touches the parts of the brains that cause the feeling of pleasure its pretty much ,,,,,you know without really doing it. Since alot of them had them chopped off or heavily undersised from being in an inclosed suit and they do have machines that can shrink the male penis and females too.
Alex FTW Why would they bother shrinking or chopping off their genitalia? They are brainwashed transhuman soldiers, they don't have basic biological needs like eating, drinking, reproduction and so on. They just serve
if a low ranking unit lets say an... 04 attempts to have an intercourse with a female or male they will normally chop it off or amputate the unit. and with units that have too big of a genitalia to fit in a very air tight suit they will shrink it or cut it strait off.
The CPs are awarded with it! Only if they "volunteer" to let the Overwatch to brainwash and add one more piece of cy bernetics..... Then again, and again. Also again too. Suddenly they've found themselves taken to Nova Prospekt/Citadel and are a Overwatch Transhuman soldier now, with complete cybernetics, armor, weaponry, training, and brainwashing. *Okay but they're still somewhat human, they still say SHIT! when grenades are coming at them*
It’s quite ironic that the CMB reward the higher CP’s with mental sexual stimulation (MSS), as in one of the breencasts, Dr. Breen mentions how he will turn off the suppression field when humanity finally can suppress human instinct without the help of the machine, and the start of suppressing said instinct is to suppress the urge to reproduce as a species...and by giving MSS to the CP’s, you are growing the urge and instinct of wanting to have sexual experiences with a partner...so either Breen is lying about turning off the suppression field, or the combine lie about giving MSS for every 100 kills...then again, there is probably some hidden sexual scandals between CP officers and a few Female citizens...and the fact is that the MSS is not told to citizens during the signup for becoming an CP until you are an official CP, mainly because the rebels voice lines never say they want to join the CP’s to get MSS...however, it’s just speculation
We all have been focused on Defender-3 needing assistance on the front lines... He totally deserved more than some non-mechanical reproduction simulation at this point, for now he may rest.
Can you try to find normal voice files for overwatch and make a dispatch kinda radio thing I'm needing it for a new Hl2rp server that I and a few other friends are making?
Well, if you just need the voice files, they're easy to get. You need GCFScape from Nem's Tool website, it allows you to access Source Engine .pak files in hl2 directory which have the sound files. For clockwork schema you don't actually need to pull the files, all you need is the file name and maybe a directory path for it. I can send you the files if you need, just add me on steam.
I never realized how well organized combine truly were. Attention to detail in this radio chatter is amasing. I wonder how comes they lost to resistance so easily? Just because of freeman? Pure numbers?
Artek [General] lack of creativity, being partially slave soldiers too. Sort of... they had tech but they were “made” by aliens who understand very little of humanity and had no idea how to use human soldiers to the best of their abilities i guess. Plus also the factor of Freeman and Resistance being more determined and tactically flexible.

Well, he got shot at before his death, so I think he was executed
more like headshot
4:17 was one of the last units getting overrun and shot
Defender three held them off for a while by himself. Even when he was wounded he still fought a little longer before the rebels put him down. Poor defender... ;-;
Ik he betrayed humanity and all but damn that guy could star in a movie and I would be cheering

Oh wow

That would creep me out
Also all the lost unit signals letting me know this is my last stand and if I don’t kill HIM I’m gonna die

"Shit!"
This line is actually pretty revealing, considering that it's spoken by the Overwatch Soldiers, and not the Civil Protectors, in response to seeing a grenade near themselves. The tendency of the standard Combine Soldiers to use expletives in response to stressful situations means that they aren't 100% brainwashed zombies, they just can't disobey their superiors. In contrast, I don't think Combine Elites ever speak unless it's necessary to, such as when sending messages over the radio
You are actually correct, if you look at some videos for Combine Elite radio chatter they only say codes and numbers, and occasionally some scattered jargon.
From what ive read and experienced, the only combine who say "shit!" Are the snipers, originally the line is from a CP but for some reason valve decided to put it as a sound the combine sniper makes, maybe mistake, a joke or as a sound cue, the combine yell ripcord or something similar when a granade is near them. In any case the combine sniper is more human than other overwatch soldiers, that is if the line was on purpose
No the OTA Smiper uses CP shit, look out and watch out etc
Pretty sure the combine soldiers just lose the ability to express most emotions like fear and anger, so they still have a personality.
False, REPLACES all memories of the victim with military experince, causing them to be able to fight well along with brainwashing with combine proganda, combine emotions are not FULLLY repressed however they rarely show most emotions
2:26 Imagine the fear slowly building in the metrocops at the time of their pursuit of Gordon as they hear more and more reports of "lost bio-signals" for their fellow metrocops!!!!!

Mind you, the combine are HEAVILY augmented humans. The combine has a better chance of struggling against the headcrab's control of its nervous system allowing it to warn the others.
I love the creepy squeal
HE'S SO FUCKING HIGH RN
no it's an infected prison guard desperately trying to let overwatch or any nearby units know what happened.
You would think the Combine would put a metal spike on their soldiers helmet or something so they wouldn't get self owned by their own headcrab shells.
That’s actually pretty fucking smart
but then again either soldiers or cp units are expected to work together and with profession if you all properly coordinate there shouldn't be any losses mostly to headcrab I'm guessing or something idk
Unicorn CP varient when
I've always felt sympathetic for the CPs in HL2. I always found it hard to kill them, I just really liked them.
they're just citizens who wanted better living spaces
I love these! Every time i listen to this i can just imagine being in the situation in my head. You should do more of these, they're awesome! :)
Thanks! :) I'll try to make a couple more, but unfortunately, it might just get repetitive with the voice files being limited (there are a lot though and they can be combined like in this video.) This was originally meant to include a short film layered on top, might do something like that in the future.
You could even use the HL2 Beta ones if you wanted to. And if you want i could animate something like this in Source Filmmaker for you :)
Valve really put alot of work into these.
@@TheBGProductions1000 You ever thought of animating this is gmod? you could do it from the POV of security cameras around the city.
I actually wanted to have some simple animations, kinda of like menu screens from hl2 throghout this video. I started working on one in hammer actually, but I quickly realized it would take a bit too long to make it the quality I wanted it to be.

That "anti-fatigue ration" is probably methamphetamine or one of its pharmaceutical derivatives like Adderall.
3 mg seems like the right amount to give a short-term boost in energy and focus.
(Source: I take Adderall)
PS
The Nazis use to give their soldiers methamphetamine to keep them sharp and focused on the battlefield, and North Korea gives methamphetamine to its troops (to keep them motivated) and its citizens (to distract them from their poverty/misery).
That "anti-fatigue ration" is _definitely_ "Combat Meth."

I'm assuming Nomad 4 was a Zombine,especially since,immediately after that,Defender 8-RL said "Tag one necrotic"
don't you mean ''Zombie CP'' or something? Like, there's just CPs here.
if i ain't mistaken the Nomad unity is a prison guard designation.
they are soldiers not CP, this one in particular probably got turned into a necrotic (zombie) due to a headcrab attack...
or just reused soundfiles to give the impression that Nomad 4 was overwhelmed by headcrabs or zombies...

*"BIOTICS CONFAERMEHD"*
4:17 Did Defender-3 kill himself? The Overwatch voice said there was no activity on his location.. He figured out he was the very last Civil Protection Officer alive, he only did it for the extra's. Volunitarily. He had to provide extra for his family, or just for himself. Survival of the fittest.. He knew he was the last one alive, unable to stop the Resistance. He figured the only way out is the cowards way out. He just wanted a better life, despite the CP Service being known as bullies and sadists.. They all just wanted a better life in a time of global crisis and genocide.. :/
In my mind when making this he got killed by the rebels they were fighting, but who knows what really happened?? D:
Kai Poor dude.
Dude that didn't actually happened alot of this stuff is clipped in an edited.
Considering that them trying to get a "better life" results in them making the global crisis and genocide even worse while reducing the ability to stop it, and that they acts bullies and sadists at every opportunity, your attempt to whitewash Civil Protection is jarring.
Defender-3 actually didn't, as he was distracted by the radio and got shot by a rebel soldier. R.I.P Defender-3
I almost shed a tear reading the discription
Please put CC on the other Radio chatter videos. Thanks
Will do.
Not that hard to understand it
I think it's creepy when one of them is took as a headcrabs zombie they can hear the noises over their transmissions.
"Premature mission termination will result in recall and recycle"
whats recycle in this context?
I have seen death Late on this but pretty sure it means they get killed or maybe their bodies recycled into synths or overwatch?
If I had to guess it means being converted into a stalker. It’s a threat to insure that the remaining officers carry out the “sacrifice code” which I assume means something along the lines of “you are expected to carry out this order to your death.” “Permanent off-world assignment” is not enough of a threat in this context since you at least get to keep your life.

Jayden Wolfe ok we get it 😂
Makes me wonder how many CPs switched sides during the uprising. Surely a fair number ditched the Combine and surrendered and then joined the Rebels, assuming they were weren't executed for betraying their species of course, probably a lot of resentment for that. But if Barney was able to infiltrate the CPs then surely others had to as well. Really makes me wish we had Rebels wearing CP unifroms with the Lambda symbol painted on it, either taken from CPs, or Rebel spies. Would have been cool to see.
Holy smokes, you haven't got the first imagine in it's original size laying around?

Note that in the end of episode 1 civil protection forms it's own independent faction against the rebels and combine
mattnmad hm? Never knew that.
I heard about that somewhere, where did we learn this from? Like are there any sources?
Always thought that the flatline sound was super eerie.
Nomad 4 was killed by a headcrab
What I love so much about the CP's is how absolutely fucked they were at the end of Half Life 2/Episode 1.
They obviously knew that the entire city's going to blow in a matter of hours, but unlike the Overwatch forces don't have the dedication to stay behind and insure the citadel blows and take as many rebels as possible with it.
So their only option is to disobey direct orders, which is an *almost* guaranteed death sentence unless they can find protection. Yet if they try to seek refuge with the rebels in evacuating the city they're practically guaranteed to be lynched by the rebels who, only a few weeks earlier, were being beaten senseless by them.
Their only option is to try and become a third party and seize evac points for themselves, which is why you have to fight a squad of them off at the end of Episode one. The Overwatch forces only really care about killing freeman, but the CP's only care about not dying. Honestly if there was ever a Half Life game in the vein of Opposing Force, it'd have to be the CP's that are focused on.
The CP are not bio-mechanically modified and are just normal humans who have that job. So when things went bad they could probably think like humans were as the other combine are obligated and can't deny orders.
Imagine Half-Life: Barney, about Barney working as an undercover cop...
I think some of the cp squads knew this and banded together and took whatever they could carry and got the hell out of there
I'm pretty sure most CPs joined the rebels like Barney. A few groups of selfish jerks decided to go out and take the trains for themselves.
@@SirKolass Probably, given the situation the Rebels may not deny news guns, members and body armor from defecting CP Units, but there's the realistic chance of CPs being beaten or killed on the spot as payback for basically being race traitors last week, guess it depends how lucky the units are to meet a band of rebels feeling desperate for help
The ones who banded together to try and steal evac points for themselves probably had no faith that the rebels could actually fight off the Combine, or assumed that there's no way they can merge with them and they can't stick with the Overwatch either, so the only option they assumed would work was going rogue
I just thought of something. So most civil protection officers probably joined the combine to avoid oppression from them (Or at least a slightly better life.) and freeman and the resistance just mows 'em down.
70% of them were just abusive dicks.
"They don't have a reason to come to our place"
"Don't worry they'll find one"
There's a reference to a beating quota (Though it might not be real it would still imply they beat prisoners a lot)
The non-dicks are the ones that deserted when Nova-prospekt blew up.
Good point.

That ending was really interesting. The fact that there was a robot voice counting down the time to the singularity. Which means someone had to program the system to recognize that possibility as even being an option. Which is a bit of a shocker to me. I'm pretty sure the combine wouldn't do that. They don't want the human race to survive, or at least not without them. And as such, I can't imagine the combine wuld let the humans know of the potential possibility regarding the singularity, just so they could encode the count down warning into the electronic system of the facility. This has gman written all over it!
What are you even trying to state here?
Armin studios+gman is behind everything. Even the explosion that destroyed the citadel. The countdown couldn't have been made by humans. The combine wouldn't let that happen. The combine would have no need for it as they would rather destroy humans than let them be freed. Gman made it. Gman is behind everything.
Deutsche Hierarchie Assuming you refer to the countdown during level where you must stop Breen from teleporting off world, since it's the only time we hear this message, gman had nothing to do with the countdown.
Overwatch was just announcing the message to Breen and the combine soldiers present during the final stages of the off-world relocation. This message was only meant for combine to hear, as they never expected someone that isn't affiliated with the combine to ever make it up there
I fail to see the relevance of your statement
overwatch announces the countdown wial breen goes up then ye.
free man happens>
I'm pretty sure it's not a voice supposed to be triggered at an event, rather I think it is a low-level AI tasked with informing Overwatch and Civil Protection of events and orders. It probably realized what's going on and merely contacted Soldiers to move out of the city.

1:23 dude the radio static before the zombine talks makes it so much more disturbing as opposed to hearing it in half-life
Hearing the Overwatch AI voice say on the radio after the last unit had possibly ended his life "Unit Deserviced, Airwatch copies no activity in location" is quite haunting knowing an AI is giving calls and orders to units no longer in service and its completely alone in a desolate city.
0:36 and forward, to me sounds like a they had confronted a citizen or a rebel who dropped a grenade or IED as a sort of suprise attack, probably during a riot of some kind maybe in a part of the city that still had large civil unrust before it turned into the full scale streetwar.
The "Move back right now" really makes it sound like they were suppressing a protest
It's sad that they switched comms to TAC-3
A lot of people wonder what .Overwatch:Rank Leaders-Reminder;100 Steralized Credits qualifies Non-mechanical Reproduction Simulation. Its a type of a machine that touches the parts of the brains that cause the feeling of pleasure its pretty much ,,,,,you know without really doing it. Since alot of them had them chopped off or heavily undersised from being in an inclosed suit and they do have machines that can shrink the male penis and females too.
Alex FTW Why would they bother shrinking or chopping off their genitalia? They are brainwashed transhuman soldiers, they don't have basic biological needs like eating, drinking, reproduction and so on. They just serve
The Elegant Assassin also, additional testosterone usually makes one more aggressive
if a low ranking unit lets say an... 04 attempts to have an intercourse with a female or male they will normally chop it off or amputate the unit. and with units that have too big of a genitalia to fit in a very air tight suit they will shrink it or cut it strait off.
The CPs are awarded with it! Only if they "volunteer" to let the Overwatch to brainwash and add one more piece of cy bernetics..... Then again, and again. Also again too. Suddenly they've found themselves taken to Nova Prospekt/Citadel and are a Overwatch Transhuman soldier now, with complete cybernetics, armor, weaponry, training, and brainwashing. *Okay but they're still somewhat human, they still say SHIT! when grenades are coming at them*
It’s quite ironic that the CMB reward the higher CP’s with mental sexual stimulation (MSS), as in one of the breencasts, Dr. Breen mentions how he will turn off the suppression field when humanity finally can suppress human instinct without the help of the machine, and the start of suppressing said instinct is to suppress the urge to reproduce as a species...and by giving MSS to the CP’s, you are growing the urge and instinct of wanting to have sexual experiences with a partner...so either Breen is lying about turning off the suppression field, or the combine lie about giving MSS for every 100 kills...then again, there is probably some hidden sexual scandals between CP officers and a few Female citizens...and the fact is that the MSS is not told to citizens during the signup for becoming an CP until you are an official CP, mainly because the rebels voice lines never say they want to join the CP’s to get MSS...however, it’s just speculation

Can you try to find normal voice files for overwatch and make a dispatch kinda radio thing I'm needing it for a new Hl2rp server that I and a few other friends are making?
Also, i used Grammarly
Do you need individual lines that are custom for MPF voices? Or do you need like a big voice file with just random chatter?
Also, me too. ;)
Anything you can get thanks
Well, if you just need the voice files, they're easy to get. You need GCFScape from Nem's Tool website, it allows you to access Source Engine .pak files in hl2 directory which have the sound files. For clockwork schema you don't actually need to pull the files, all you need is the file name and maybe a directory path for it. I can send you the files if you need, just add me on steam.
I never realized how well organized combine truly were. Attention to detail in this radio chatter is amasing. I wonder how comes they lost to resistance so easily? Just because of freeman? Pure numbers?
