Loovvee how in Half-Life: Alyx the level of vocoding on their voice depends on rank. like the lower tier grunts sound so much more clear but the charger just sounds garbled, as it should be
There's actually a canonical reason for this. The higher tier voices sound more garbled because it ranges how biomechanically modified they are. The charger sounds more garbled because they require more modification (I'm assuming because they need to wear the giant amounts of armor combined with their gun) and grunts are canonically the least modified.
@lilwerner1518 Zombine Ordinals are exactly the same, although I'd wager that normal unmodified people wouldn't be so heavily mutilated by Headcrabs. The inflammation is probably a side-effect of all the implants.
I agree with you. The supressor just stands in the distance and fires, but here, the charger actually walks around searching for you, which makes him scarier than the supressor
jou taama memes are supposed to be dead in a couple of minutes.... theyre overused and thats the point. The ones that stay longer are just lucky. And not all memes come from reddit.
You're right! Also if we remove the armor plates from him his uniform will looks like hl2 soldier! (when I first looked at them myself in game, I was very surprised and now the charger is my favorite combine unit)
@@GameprojordanYeah but those came from either The Nova Prospekt guards or Combine Grunts. I do believe the Nova Prospekt Guards have some sort personality to them than the regular Combine Overwatch soldiers for some reason from how they speak
Nice video! The one thing i don’t understand is that they report to the overwatch/other units as echo four in combine terminology instead of wallhammer At 0:10
Seems to me like they just had the voice actors for each combine soldier type record all the exact same lines. Or perhaps they're all part of Echo Four and the grunts just don't get a special designation like the others do.
I managed to get past one of them at that outdoor apartment courtyard area when I was low on health. He walked in shortly after. Pretty scary to be in a small room with that big guy. But of course the game has much worse...
I always see the OTA in HL:A as more quarantine zone units more then militants as they don’t seem so militaristic but more like a containment zone unit.
I still wish i can have this game :( but i have Garrys mod with replacements so im kinda good and i replaces their voices with Grunts because no other can be replaced
all of the HL Alyx combine seem to laugh right after they trick a hostile that they're friendly, so what's even more fucked up is it implies they cherrypick emotions and memories for the best tactical advantage. das tuff.
Alyx: NOOOO, you can't just take half of my health in a single shot!!!!
Charger: HaHa dagger goes brrrrrr.
Only HALF your health? What difficulty are you playing on??
@@Resi1ience Just saying he can play on whichever he wants.
I think its instant kill if you're in close range with him

2:02 overwatch confirms an HP cheeseburger
now I cant unhear it
@@notacourier it had the same effect on me as well and i don’t know why
Makes sense
note these guys are actually called “wallhammer” units which suits their ABSOLUTE appearance
Absolute units
Charger: "you can come out now."
Alyx: "POV: No" (panic)
1:06 *I've got 78 more shells in this 4 shell magazine!*
I personally feel like the charger might be the most terrifying.
Suppressor: Am I a joke to you?
I agree with you. The supressor just stands in the distance and fires, but here, the charger actually walks around searching for you, which makes him scarier than the supressor
it has a fucking hologramic shield and a heavy shotgun, supressor sucks when its with charger
Ehh

From all the new combine variants, the charger sounds like speech form of the ones of HL2

2 years late, ECHO is their squad, or rather team. Echo-1 is the ordinal and the rest are numbers.

The wait will be just a little bit longer :-)

Apf?

Wow
I always get confused
Imagine the team Fortress 2 classes combine soldiers version
Some of the Combine enemy voice lines sound like they should be from a Half-Life RTS spin-off game
on god we NEED a battlefront-style HL game, just armies of rebels fighting the combine in different maps
I swear to god i heard them once say i am heavy weapons guy
why is its voice so distorted like the grunts sound normal but this dude sounds like hes having a stroke
Augmentation
As lowquality said, augmentation. The higher the ranking of a combine, the more its augmented
I wish they would add a charger into impulse
I still wish i can have this game :(
but i have Garrys mod with replacements so im kinda good and i replaces their voices with Grunts because no other can be replaced
I found this awesome mod that adds 90& accurate versions of alyx's combine

Hey, guess what. You don't need a VR headset to play this game now!
@@sanctumscream372 cool 👍
I like how the subtitles can understand the exact words the combines are saying, but they can’t even understand someone saying “hi”
that's because they aren't random generated in this video
The voices of the soldiers are barely even understandable.
He sounds like narrator from portal 2
Combine heavy nice 👍
Do they have any emotions? So sad
Alexander Baumgartner they‘re

das tuff.
I think the grunts have some of their memory
jou taama
I wonder if the Combine soldiers have friends, hobbies, leisure, thoughts of their own when not working?
@Alexander Baumgartner their*
how can i save this to mp3?
I remember a in my first encounter with one he fired And one shot me. I wasn't even close to him at that time.
Target compromised.
How do the captions know what he's even saying? Their voice is barely understandable.
Custom captions. These aren’t auto generated
because the caption is not human, like the combine soldier.
