You have Demoman, AR2 Rebel from EP2, Demoman prt2, Gordan Fredman, A smart guy or somethinh, WINSTONS BEEN HIT, John Freeman, I forgor, American, :), White Woman Jumpscare, White Woman Jumpscare pt2, Demoman's mom, Sorry doc!, White Train Woman Jumpscare, and MEDIC.
@@CoolSs yeah this is very noticeable with Postal 2 and Postal 4. I love postal 2 npcs, and not only do they have a lot of personality, but they look a hell of a lot better too, despite being a much older game
I think the offset female numbers in the hammer editor is because there was a cut female citizen so Valve had to offset all of the numbers by one but forgot to rename to npcs in the editor.
Their is the fact many of the civilians are willing to give their life for Dr Gordon Freeman as he is in their eyes a living legend, and unstoppable hero.
Thuthfuly, Gordon Freeman kinda is an unstoppable hero. He can run much faster than most of NPCs thanks to his HEV suit, he can carry and use more than one weapon in the game and he seems to be the only one that wears this type of suit. That HEV suit is like a Power Armor from Fallout but much weaker, no wonder why those civilians are willing to protect Gordon because if that suit falls on combine hands it would be a disaster for humanity in my opinion.
@@yaroslavm9898 its not really the suit that makes gordon powerful, its g-man's prepared path for him that does. whenever gordon steps out of his intended path, people get hurt like for ex alyx at the start of episode 2.
Everytime I play gmod with my czech friend, he always missreads the "citizen" and says it as "cizinec" (it means a foreigner in Czech), and I cannot stop laughing about this mistake
Honestly, I could never see HL2 without seeing the citizens as they are. Also, It's seems alot of them are doing well nowadays. Notably, Joe Cairo seems to have retired from basketball from what I heard. Larry Heard appears to be still making music. And Art Min just seems to be doing fine, he has a twitter too Other than that I'm wouldn't go poking into these peoples lives for obvious reasons but If anybody wants to know whats up I hope this is alright info Thanks for the video Rad Haz! wishing you the best from Pittsburgh
Ironic that those "high-quality" models look so much worse than what we got. Even barring how uncanny they look, the normal citizens look dirtier, like they're covered in dust, which fits the atmosphere of Half Life 2 much better.
I think it's because of the lighting of photo shot on their faces. The old beta versions look smeared in oil, which creates a feeling of plasticity barbie doll
I've been playing this game on and off pretty much since it came out and I never realized female 01 and 02 were different. I thought they were the same model.
Fun fact: lászló is a popular hungarian name Hungarians had invented the rubics cube Asians are smart Laszló looks asian and he's the finest mind of his generation Conclusion: he's hungarian
When another citizen dies, others might say "that's it I'm pissed!" The male one is so savage; I asked John Lowrie on Cameo how he says it, and he gave me a little voice acting lesson. He's a great guy! Whenever I hear the line, I'm like "how the hell can someone sound so angry??"
Great video. But no mention of Male07's lead role as Gordon Frohman in the long running web comic Concerned? He'll always be Gordon Frohman in my heart. I loved that series
@@RadiationHazardYT Well, if you ever find the time in your day to day, I highly recommend it. It's basically a parody of the entirety of Half-Life 2 with the world's dumbest protagonist.
3:52 makes me think of a theory that counter strike terrorists are the few people who first became rebels before the combine invasion,since they had guns and could probably defend themselves,the anti terrorists are now also on ther side since they need to unite to defeat the combine before its too late,but they failed unlike gordon,they all died,while some of the alive hostages are regular citizens who are gonna die one day,like lazlo also i love joe
Gonna be honest I never realized there were so many models. My mind only picked up on black npc, black female npc, white female npc, and about two separate white male npcs. What stuck out more to me was their voices. My favorite has to be the new guy added in episode 2, Doug Baldwin or something like that. He killed it
i THINK Counter strike source and CSGO is just about before the events of the seven-hour War Half-life 2 Because some models from CSS are in half life 2 also And also stanley parable ''Maybe''
You should do a video on Day of Defeat. Maybe the old Day of Defeat Source Beta that is now lost media? (its nothing like the release version). I found some old clips of that beta and I can give them to you if you'd like.
I heard some piece of media with every but one citizen I saw Male_01: "AH $HIT TOO LATE" Male_02:" I've got the standard insertion ticket just like everybody else" / "Oh no, we fought Hunters in City17 with our bare hands" Male_03: "I thought you were a cop" Male_04: _"Hey dude, wanna feel aliiive?"_ / _"Le boss inside wants to talk to you"_ Male_05: *_"OH MY GOD, LAZLO"_* Male_06: "Winston's been hit" Male_07: When you're Male_07 in real life: / THAT WAS JOHN FREEMAN don't you recognize your own brother?? Male_08: "Don't drink the water, they put something in it but we don't remember anything, I don't even remember how I got here" / "There's no such thing as AR3" Male_09: ARNOLD, WHY?? Female_01: She just threw the can into the water Female_02: "I told you we are next" Female_04: _The Crazy Magnet Woman_ / "Over here!" _gunshot_ Female_06: "Was there anyone else on the train?"
the reason that some of these npcs have names in hammer is mostly because of the fact that you need to name entities in order to attach scripts to them and stuff like that
hi, pin me because I have no friends on my Steam Profile.
added
Heck yeah, you got the pin! (what's your steam?)
No thanks
i'll add u
i could add you on steam
imo each and every citizen model is JUST as iconic as the main cast of characters in Half-Life 2.
i agree with this statement
truest
You have Demoman, AR2 Rebel from EP2, Demoman prt2, Gordan Fredman, A smart guy or somethinh, WINSTONS BEEN HIT, John Freeman, I forgor, American, :), White Woman Jumpscare, White Woman Jumpscare pt2, Demoman's mom, Sorry doc!, White Train Woman Jumpscare, and MEDIC.
There's something about games having repeated npc models that have "character". Not all games has it. Especially newer games don't have them.
@@CoolSs yeah this is very noticeable with Postal 2 and Postal 4. I love postal 2 npcs, and not only do they have a lot of personality, but they look a hell of a lot better too, despite being a much older game
R.I.P. Lazlo. He was the finest mind of his generation.
To come to such an end..
DON’T STEP ON THE SAND
@@agaklmaoo-tv8oj same, stepped in it before he finished talking
Lazlo is a war criminal named Jose currently hiding from the feds in a residential estate.
what if the guy who was Lazlo’s friend was right, and if Wilson was the main leader of the uprising if he survived.
less than 10 seconds in and this video's already a classic

they handled these citizens so well, only one voice and a few models and they're almost all completely distinct
The ballin on the start 💀
this needs to be a mod
Uh.. Alyx? 😳
Everytime I play gmod with my czech friend, he always missreads the "citizen" and says it as "cizinec" (it means a foreigner in Czech), and I cannot stop laughing about this mistake
@qiroqato XD
In a way, they are because they are Americans forcibly relocated to eastern Europe
That is the most Czech thing someone Czech could do.
Honestly, I could never see HL2 without seeing the citizens as they are.

I didn't know the rebel giving the briefing in the AR3 argument was Sheckley, no wonder he was so done with that guy.

Half-Life facts while having my breakfast? HELL YES! Not gonna lie I was really missing these longer videos, I could listen to this man for hours.
That Intro Was A Work Of Art
RADHAZ I loved this intro PLEASE KEEP IT!!!!
Meet the Citizen **title card with intro sound**
07:00 fact: alot of people thought that the floating cheaple in black mesa east was a David Blaine easter egg.
When i heard the intro music, i knew i was in for a one hell of a video
radhaz be ballin' these videos (i don't know what i just said)
I've been playing this game on and off pretty much since it came out and I never realized female 01 and 02 were different. I thought they were the same model.
Dude You saved me I almost had to eat without RUclips cause there was no content then you uploaded
Oh god imagine the horror of eating without having to watch anything that would be literal torture
@@hazzmatiIs this sarcasm? 🦋
3:49 the 1 frame of the unarmored combine soldier
Fun fact: lászló is a popular hungarian name
Hungarians had invented the rubics cube
Asians are smart
Laszló looks asian and he's the finest mind of his generation
Conclusion: he's hungarian
WE ARE MKING IT OUT OF CITY 17 WITH THIS ONE
missed opportunity to make a half life 2 meet the team intro
I need a full version of ballin from you
0:00 You sing really good
6:20 i assume you mean Erdin Grčić (G-rr-Chich), judging by the last name, he's probably from the balkans (most likely former yugoslav areas)
When another citizen dies, others might say "that's it I'm pissed!"
The male one is so savage; I asked John Lowrie on Cameo how he says it, and he gave me a little voice acting lesson. He's a great guy!
Whenever I hear the line, I'm like "how the hell can someone sound so angry??"
Their faces are so familiar that if I met their real life counerpart I would treat them like a good friend.
very nice that you did video about this
Sometimes, I dream about cheese
WARNING: HALF LIFE 2 WILL BE REAL IN 5 seconds
A man wearing a suit broke into my home through the window, broke some boxes, and left.
The right game at the wrong time can change everything.
10 seconds and already i'm loving this omg 😭😭
Great video. But no mention of Male07's lead role as Gordon Frohman in the long running web comic Concerned?
He'll always be Gordon Frohman in my heart. I loved that series
Thanks! I did read about that mention on the Wiki page but I haven't read that web comic and decided to not include it.
@@RadiationHazardYT Well, if you ever find the time in your day to day, I highly recommend it. It's basically a parody of the entirety of Half-Life 2 with the world's dumbest protagonist.
surely you mean John Freeman, Gordon's brother?
@@Feasco Nah, I discovered Concerned waaay before Full Life Consequences
@@monsterurby It is also several years older, so that's only natural. It is a thoroughly hilarious read no matter what.
Rad singing Ballin never expected this
At least he didn't talk about baller
i demand a full cover of the intro
3:52 makes me think of a theory that counter strike terrorists are the few people who first became rebels before the combine invasion,since they had guns and could probably defend themselves,the anti terrorists are now also on ther side since they need to unite to defeat the combine before its too late,but they failed unlike gordon,they all died,while some of the alive hostages are regular citizens who are gonna die one day,like lazlo
also i love joe
I was offended in the first second because my favorite intro was gone then i heard that beautiful voice and melody and it all made sense
those 2003 facemaps are nightmare inducing
this makes me feel worse about the "Bad Friend" achievement in garry's mod
3:49 combine jumpscare
The intro is a 10/10.
Male_07/Mike looks like he could be a main character
I put the new hazard on the suit......
Damn I can't think of any good line
Gonna be honest I never realized there were so many models. My mind only picked up on black npc, black female npc, white female npc, and about two separate white male npcs. What stuck out more to me was their voices. My favorite has to be the new guy added in episode 2, Doug Baldwin or something like that. He killed it
nahh i come back to watch rad once again and i hear the most fire most baller intro ever 💀💀
hi radhaz, big fan, thanks for not using your powers for evil
Is there a full version of your Ballin cover? It's. Really heartwarming if I'm gonna be honest.
Nah it was just that part lol
i bet this people will be in peoples menu on youtube after 10 years later
Nice!! this is the content for I'm subscribed to this channel.
WE'RE GETTIN OUT OF THE CITADEL WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We're getting out of the canals with this one boy (beta canals) (dark) (griddy)
WE'RE GETTING OUT OF NOVA PROSPEKT WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WE'RE GOING TO RAVENHOLM WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That intro is fire 🔥🔥🔥
I felt like Rad Haz was coming inside of me 😈😈😈
uhm
erm
yeah me too
Ayo what the fuck
bro???
Nice video as always!
That intro song gave me whiplash.
WE MAKING IT TO THE CITY 17 WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Warren slough seems to have a really tragic story, may he rest in peace...
I found out Michael Smith was born in 1961 and he was around 41 to 42 when that reference photo was taken.
meet the team half life 2 edition
i THINK Counter strike source and CSGO is just about before the events of the seven-hour War Half-life 2 Because some models from CSS are in half life 2 also And also stanley parable ''Maybe''
We should embrace male_09 surprimacy
#male09sweep
I had to reformat my brain when i heard the opening song.
IMO I like the look of the release faces better.
thank you hazard for existing :)
"YOWZA!!!! MALE 07 BEST MODEL!!!!"
my BROTHER in CHRIST manhack MATT is just COOLER BOXCAR JOE
You should also make a similiar video but talk about the voice actors! :D
The thought of RadHaz ballin' got me crazy 🥶🥵🤧😳
The most banger intro music for a video 🔥🔥
I can't believed he sing this song while his hand get busy
i have never seen radiation hazard do that thug shaker before. and im happy i did
You should do a video on Day of Defeat. Maybe the old Day of Defeat Source Beta that is now lost media? (its nothing like the release version). I found some old clips of that beta and I can give them to you if you'd like.
The citizen models is what make half life 2 popular
If you know you know
my god that intro💀
edit:s nice a hearth thank you rad
My favorite moment of the video was when RADHAZ said "...with a 2003 high quality face map"
Truly one of the High quality face maps of all time
9:39 if the npcs in Half Life 1 can have a story why not the citizens?
bro cooked that intro 🥶😤😈💀💯💢💥💦
new intro is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥶🥶🥶🥶‼‼
We're making it out of City 17 with that one🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm disappointed that you didn't mention how little male_09 looks like his real life model compared to how much he resembles young robert deniro
the intro gave me a BALLIN vibe
Whoo!! Yea baby! Thats what every body was waiting for!!!!
at 100K we need a full version of RadHaz singing ballin
what a citizen lad lmao
I heard some piece of media with every but one citizen I saw
Male_01: "AH $HIT TOO LATE"
Male_02:" I've got the standard insertion ticket just like everybody else" / "Oh no, we fought Hunters in City17 with our bare hands"
Male_03: "I thought you were a cop"
Male_04: _"Hey dude, wanna feel aliiive?"_ / _"Le boss inside wants to talk to you"_
Male_05: *_"OH MY GOD, LAZLO"_*
Male_06: "Winston's been hit"
Male_07: When you're Male_07 in real life: / THAT WAS JOHN FREEMAN don't you recognize your own brother??
Male_08: "Don't drink the water, they put something in it but we don't remember anything, I don't even remember how I got here" / "There's no such thing as AR3"
Male_09: ARNOLD, WHY??
Female_01: She just threw the can into the water
Female_02: "I told you we are next"
Female_04: _The Crazy Magnet Woman_ / "Over here!" _gunshot_
Female_06: "Was there anyone else on the train?"
*male_07/John Freeman starts beatboxing
Why does the stripped combine soldier model flashes at 3:48?
drink the water to forget
BTW, I think Cheaple is named that because it's a low quality model and hence - cheap to render.
I think the citezens are more iconic and good as the B4B characters
5:15 hell naw bruhh they done added the skibidi toilet guy in half life 2??😂😂💀
Stop trolling
@@Milk-mj2znthis one was more of a joke
Hot Take but:
Male_09 > Male_07
Also, cool intro. But because of that, I thought this would've been a shitpost video.
can we have the full ballin cover
Citizen voice is like hearing an old friend
"Now batman, there are no rules against female_ -"
For whatever reason I thought this was a half life version of Harry101UK’s portal SFM meet the cores series I think I’m tripping
Sometimes i dream about cheese
the reason that some of these npcs have names in hammer is mostly because of the fact that you need to name entities in order to attach scripts to them and stuff like that
the ballin intro should become a standard
5:38 Male_08 will never be ballin'-
you need to make a full version of the song from the beginning
Male 07? You mean John Freeman the saver of humens?
