As a citizen of the Combine empire, I can confirm it just kinda sucks to live here. Not being feed any nutrition. Civil protection keeps busting down my door to just beat me up with stun baton’s. And being forced to moved to these random cities for some reason.

@@memebaltan Trust me, you don't want to. After learning enough about the Combine in the Half life series, i can safely tell you that neither hitlers nor stalins have interests to fully kill themselves out, unlike the combine which is an ALIEN Empire to remind you. They don't care about what happens to Humans and they are slowly killing them off throught advanced technological means.
One thing I like about this is that it almost sounds like an organic lifeform wailing in horror. The Combine is basically one enormous super-organism with integrated species acting as its executive functions and a near omniscient AI (Overwatch) to regulate its autonomic functions. It calls rebellious/non-compliant components "malignant" and to be "amputated". All this means that the mere sight of Gordan Freeman inspires terror, as he is an entity too small to keep perfect track of, too fearless to intimidate, and has existed external to the Combine machine for his entire life up until now, and so is the only person who is not part of the collective of humanity seen and counted after the 7-hour war and thus is the only person who essentially isn't from the same world as everyone else. He is creative, intelligent, motivated, fearless, and is willing to sacrifice himself to kill the Combine, so is in a sense irrational in a way that the Combine doesn't know how to cure. He is, unlike the citizens, referred to as "individual". As silly as it sounds, the Combine fear the One Free Man because as a super-organism, they can't comprehend him. The CPs might see him as a man in an orange suit, but the Combine views him as an incomprehensible terror that can dodge every means of coercion that worked on his fellow human, and can often-times fight the Combine on their soil, but always on HIS terms. That is why the Combine can defeat a collective of billions but can't face one individual.
I keep reading those "Lmao Combine are soooo powerful and Gordon is just a guy with a crowbar" comments everywhere but this, this is a very nice insight. Thank you for sharing these thoughts, they really put everything into perspective.
@@osasunaitor It's weird to think Gordan wouldn't have had nearly the success if he were fighting a modern earthly government. Imagine the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden but he was an eldritch being that was always one step ahead because his thought-process, and even his existence was outside of our comprehension. Gordan is that to the Combine.
So basically, the Combine is made to take down entire species, but an individual with critical thinking, and anything that makes hin different fron the collective, is too foreign to efficiently take down, just like how we can't just kill Bacteria by hitting them with our hand, or shooting it, Combine Cant kill Freeman by Conventional means. He is too complex for Combine to Comprehend, he is the Embodyment of what seperates Us from the Combine, that being Human Sentience, our Autonomy and ableness to exist as individuals rather than collectives, He is the Embodyment of being able to think for Ourselves. The Problem with Combine's tactics is they're trying to predict the unpredictable. Combine making Transhuman soldiers without any Autonomy or Free thinking, is like taking a Razor Sharp Sword and using it as a Blunt force weapon. Like using Screws with a hammer, like its a nail. A Screw is much more complex than a nail. Just as we humans are Much more complex than just Bipedal creatures who can shoot guns.
@@ic0nic707 It was one small detachment of the military and some unprepared aliens, plus all he does in that game is face a single onslaught of extradimensional terror/federal tomfoolery he doesn't dismantle the United States
I’m pretty sure that the anthem was not made for the Combine itself but instead for the human race, to create a sense of patriotism among humans for being part of the Combine. Which would help with further assimilation.
i was thinking the same thing, but I got a question tho. Does the Combine really want assimilation if they have the suppression field on? Seems like their goal is to stop humans from reproducing so they die off. But again, Combine struck some kind of a deal with Breen(he must have had some kind of leverage to even bargain with the Combine too) to not exterminate the human race, well if that’s the case then why Breen agreed to this suppression field if his goal was preservation lol. thank you for listening to my ted talk
Did you play the game? They literally mention that the combine overwatch is just a small and weak force meant to hold earth. They're equivalent to an understaffed group of mall security. The whole point of the resistance in half life was to cut off the combine overwatch to prevent them from sending in the real combine military.

This anthem lets you feel the might and power of the Combine Empire, it's unimaginable power, it's seemingly endless vastness, and it's authority with no equal, one of the most powerful empires in all of fiction. This empire makes the Galactic Empire of Star Wars shit it's pants.
that's really a nightmare just imagine everyone thought it was China fighting us but seven hours later you just hear that and then realize your entire home planet was captured and overthrown by the combine, you'd also feel the air holding onto you feeling like some invisible force was just holding you like a hug, as you see soldiers on the ground dead 4 billion humans dead and the anthem kept playing as its the combines victory, you see robotic machines and that's it, you just sit to think why over and over.
oh yeah but thing is the black mesa event already happened, which already killed like 2 billion. The portal storms and stuff. And then this? 6 billion dead all together. Less than 1 billion humans left alive 250 million+ converted into combine workers

@@Espartanica it is. I think ive already answered you in an other thread but in one of his speech, dr Breen states "The Universal Union that small minds calls the Combine"
@@Zaher74 It's not. The term wasn't even capitalized. It's never used anywhere else. The writers forgot they even used the term. It's calling the Combine a Universal Union in the same way as someone would call the USA a Country. Doesn't mean the USA is CALLED country.
i have a theory, the gman used the resonance cascade to lure the combine to earth becouse the only species able to ceace comunications between the combine overworld and their universe is humanity, it doesn't really matter if what's left of the combine is crushed or if the resistance fails miserably, but the fact that earth broke free of the grip of the combine empire probably started a chaos in the combine overworld, maybe that information got to other planets under combine rule, and meaby that ignited other revolutions across the empire, making the combine fall or at least making them a lot weaker
I love how it doesen't even shy away from the true nature of the combine. They don't lie about being some great empire, they are a brutal regime, who conquers and subjugates, with this song showing that.
I always find it funny when people compare their fav Sci-Fi empires to the Combine. They cap out at being galactic empires. The Combine is inter-dimensional, good luck defeating that

Basically the aliens took over with a powerful force. But they only came to the Earth to take all our resources and they only left enough of their forces behind to drain the planet. Gordon only survives because a tiny fraction of the aliens are all that stayed behind.

The advisor on screen: it’s fine
Advisor without screen: oh fuck we’re doomed.
@@JaylinSampson-k6pAdvisors when Gordon find a weapon or tec that can't level up himself: Were Doomed 💀
Glad to see the Combine recognize themselves as the bad guys with the anthem

Imagine if your went asleep in the US just to wake up to realize that you are now in the combine
knowing what happened to the us you would probably wake up in the afterlife
Technically,you won't even wake up to begin with.
4 options
you never wake up, thanks to a xenian lifeform teleporting into your house
you never wake up, thanks to a combine supersoldier shooting you
you wake up in agonizing pain, thanks to a xenian headcrab teleporting in
you wake up alive, another day to prepare to leave to a different continent
in canon the combine cleared north america out of the map with nukes because they were having a bad time dealing with the US army@@randomperson-uj4bp
@@baimo_ofc This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, the Combine wouldve crushed the US in a few minutes

When the Combine theme plays, you know they are going to combine you
The combine on its way to lose a whole empire to a human in orange pajamas with a piece of metal
Ain't no way I'm standing up for a minute and twenty-three seconds when this plays at school.
the alternative is to be killed
They don't provide education service 💀
@@Createanew0 Ik lol
You have no idea how mad I’d be if my entire empire controlling an entire planet got destroyed by some sleep deprived schizophrenic holding a crowbar in a funny suit
Truly a 'the right man in the wrong place' moment.
LONG LIVE THE UNIVERSAL UNION! 🤝

@@Espartanicasame thing
@@Zaher74 Universal Union isn't a thing
@@Espartanica it is. I think ive already answered you in an other thread but in one of his speech, dr Breen states "The Universal Union that small minds calls the Combine"
@@Zaher74 It's not. The term wasn't even capitalized. It's never used anywhere else. The writers forgot they even used the term. It's calling the Combine a Universal Union in the same way as someone would call the USA a Country. Doesn't mean the USA is CALLED country.
Glory to our benefactors
0:01 congrats to those peoples who lives on Australia so combines cannot see them
True
FOR THE UNIVERSAL UNION!!!!!!!!!!!
"Rise And Shine Mr Freeman,Rise And Shine"
i have a theory, the gman used the resonance cascade to lure the combine to earth becouse the only species able to ceace comunications between the combine overworld and their universe is humanity, it doesn't really matter if what's left of the combine is crushed or if the resistance fails miserably, but the fact that earth broke free of the grip of the combine empire probably started a chaos in the combine overworld, maybe that information got to other planets under combine rule, and meaby that ignited other revolutions across the empire, making the combine fall or at least making them a lot weaker
Resist Brothers and Sisters! We shall not bow to these tyrants
Glory to combine!

The actual name of this track is called "Combine Harvester" and was never used in the final game of Half-Life 2.
Wow, that's cool. If there is a Half-life movie that will be the combine theme of the film.
This is the theme of the combine in the first place
So how yall enjoying earth yall? Maybe yall should join the civil protection or something.
Yooooo half life fan
Now, About the beer i own ya

theyre both the same@@Espartanica
@@Nachosuperhero Universal Union is not, and never has been, their name
@@Espartanicait is. In one of Dr Breen's propaganda speech he says "the Universal Union, that small mind call the Combine"
I feel happy to see that pinguins, Santa Claus, small Oceanians, and Hawaiians have successfully defend their island against the Combine
unfortunately, svalbard is apart of the combine, santa claus failed to defend it against the combine
imagine hearing this song while your sleeping
Glory to the resitance yet I do a salute to this banger!
When someone tells you to pick up the can you just dropped:
Alternative title:
Pyro hums along to a somewhat threatening tune
"Pick up that can"
glad to see the pacific islanders and hawaii defended their homelands bravely against the combine
I'm glad that Russians in Kurile Islands successfully defended their islands from Combine
Ah yes Penguins with grenades.... Fearsome foes
The pride and oomph of a national anthem, combined with the sounds of absolute rule and unfiltered tyranny.
Gman is the good guy because he wants freeman to save the world he wakes him up so he can save it faster.
Who will win?
The entire world
A guy with a silly suit and a crowbar
A guy with a silly suit and a crowbar will win

Alliance approves that video!
Good work citizen!
I love how it doesen't even shy away from the true nature of the combine. They don't lie about being some great empire, they are a brutal regime, who conquers and subjugates, with this song showing that.
all hail combine empire
Glad to see that the Galapagosians have successfully defended their homeland against the combine!
When you realize the invasion of Denmark in 1940 is longer than the invasion of Earth in 200-

instagram users on the way to comment the most vile and disgusting blocks of text on a reel about mental health awareness:
Imagine taking a 7 hour nap in Eastern Europe and you wake up in Universal Union💀
I always find it funny when people compare their fav Sci-Fi empires to the Combine. They cap out at being galactic empires. The Combine is inter-dimensional, good luck defeating that
The Combine-Flood war would be intense. At the Flood's peak, I mean.
@@Espartanica true, it would probably be intense like a 7 year or 7 decade war until the combine manages to cure it.
@@Espartanica
I'm paying good money to play a game with that premise
@@EspartanicaF por el flood😅😅los combine los van a capturar y los van a modificar como hicieron con los headcrafts o los van a confinar en alguna prisión usando sus poderes mentales
@@gggvvvjggbgg4517 The Flood is far stronger than the Combine. The Flood can become a planet itself, speak telepathically to the galaxy, and infect machines. The Flood can even make use of other dimensions to store its memories and is a hive mind.
The Combine have Dyson spheres and portals, but the Flood defeated a civilization that made Dyson spheres and portals like child's play, and uses pocket dimensions the size of a soccer ball to store an artificial planet bigger than Earth's orbit
glory to combine
I never played half life but did a man thats talented with a crowbar defeated the whole world?
Basically the aliens took over with a powerful force. But they only came to the Earth to take all our resources and they only left enough of their forces behind to drain the planet. Gordon only survives because a tiny fraction of the aliens are all that stayed behind.
long story short: no, he's trying to get rid of a multidimensional empire and so far he destroyed the connection between the combine overworld and earth
No actually A Guy causes an Alien Invasion causing the usa Army to be involved During some time Period the Combine invaded because half the Humans Got killed by Aliens so it was a 7 hour war
@@driedmoon He wants to remove the combine off the earth, not destroy them
