- Code: Isolate. Expose. Administer. - Citizen notice, failure to cooperate will result in permanent off-world relocation. I somehow love this 1984 shit. Lot of potential here.
CheeseMaker88 Well yes but they are talking to the citizens when they say that, its just kind of interesting to think that they are sending humans as slaves to other worlds like they did with the vortigaunts.
ComputerDude2600 When the combine say "Off-World" In any context (whether to their units or to citizens) They mean Amputation. Meaning they kill them. The combine have their own coded language they use in their broadcasts. Isolate, for example, doesn't mean leave completely alone. It means clear the area. Amputate, as they normally use it, doesn't mean to remove an injured limb, it means to kill.
Actually, the Overwatch forces (CP, Military, Elite, etc) still have their innate emotions. You'll hear them say "SHIT!" sometimes. These guys are humans who willingly/were forced to join the Combine.
Cash economies and resource based economies function very differently. Cash economies often create capitol from nowhere regardless of the available resources for example. Cash is useless to the combine however, they simply need resources to maintain and expand their empire. In fact its likely they need to keep expanding to maintain it.
It sounds like when they recorded this chatter they just used a set of FRS radios and a voice changer. The Roger beeps sound similar to my Motorola talkabout FRS radio.
Tenório Bologgnesi better load your 357 magnum lol. Sometimes when I play HL2 I spawn in a 357 and just go to town on the combine except the one that brings you to Barney. I think if you kill one near the entrance to the hallway it breaks the game.
They are both humans, but soldiers are modified and indoctrinated, sometimes referred to as Transhumans. Civil Protection are normal humans that receive a reward of additional rations as a motivation.
I'm I the only one who really likes the sound of the radio here? Not just the voices and general chatter but the beeps and clicks it makes when somebody goes to talk or stops talking
Im certain youre not the only one. I can garuntee a majority of the people who looked up 'Combine voice chatter,' looked it up because they enjoyed it in the game. Youre NEVER the only one.
I do too, i also own a radio and the beeps are in fact called "Call tone" (radio plays a certain tone or sequence of tones whenever i press the PTT) and "Idle Channel Tone" (radio plays a certain tone or sets or tones whenever someone releases the PTT on a channel) in the programming software. You can set whatever beep you like. The clicks sound like ordinary squelch tails instead
Thats kinda stupid if you think about it, an alien superpower that defeated the whole human species in 7 hours cant keep control of a bunch of disorganized humans with shitty earth weapons?
+Conejin That's because those were the huge Combine invasion forces that defeated initially humanity in the 7 Hour War. What was left after that, the Overwatch, was just a very small and very simple local force that was supposed to supervise the remnants of humanity and the resource exploitation of Earth.
Nevermind I googled it. I've known about 1984 for a long time but I stll have yet to see it. Edit: Update! I've seen the movie and it was amazing. I still have to read the book though. I'll do it asap.
I think in Overwatch Jargon, "Biotics" refer to Antlions, as one of the overwatch lines were "Nomad get those restrictors (thumpers) back online, your sector shows active biotics", which plays when you are attempting to enter Nova Prospekt, after being given the bugbait to control antlions.
It's subtle but I've always like the voice acting in the clip where they spot Freeman leading an army of bugs. The little hesitation is their way of saying "what the eff?".
I think that Code Blue alarm over the radio is the best video game villain death sound ever. It's just so satisfying to take one of those bastards down and hear that sound.
I liked how that mechanic was local only to Civil Protection Units since they were First Responders. Whereas Overwatch soldiers constantly get involved in pitched battles so their deaths don't warrant that kind of alert being needed.
Actually they turn disobedient people into stalkers if they can capture them, it depends on their crime. Obedience can lead you to live the life as a CU worker with a more pleasant living style, you can even apply to be recruited as a CP.
***** If you are obeying the combine, and helping civil protection, cleaning up the city, and doing things like that, you can get loyalist points. When you are a loyalist, you can get monetary awards, and more rations. With enough points, you can apply for the Civil Worker's Union, or for the Metropolice Force. Eventually, you get a chance to be the administrator's assistant, and possible the administrator himself (if a new one is needed).
I remember the announcement and alarm from 2:08 from a rp game where i ran around with signs saying " Impeach the Mayor" and "Fuck the police". the entire city went under lock-down I'm a good citizen ;)
TheNoodleGod Same voice actor in all of the games, the same person who voiced GLaDOS. The voice is probably different in episode 2 because of the lack of the citadel.
yep they keep track of how many "citizens" they have and if there i more than the number on there system they goto that area to find the person(s) and punish them or kill
"Im 11-99". Pretty much means Im all alone and in need of backup. You will hear the metro police say this in the beginning when you start taking them out.

There Chatter is for units a long way away. Like the overwatch or other Squads or patrol teams. There normal Chatter in Episode 1 don't work Because of the citadel communications were down after the exsplosion. Same goes with the combine in Episode 2.
Gordon Freeman is just behind of the Metro Cop, i can see his glasses and his face,hes like a flame or smoke... IDK (sorry for my english im not from this countries)
Combine are such an interesting dynamic. Humans forced to suppress their own brothers, drugged and genetically mutated to the point of being able to assimilate with the combine... Half Life 2 in general was just such a big, realistic alien apocalypse simulator. All the characters and dynamics feel so... real.
Well, I read somewhere on the internet that the very first transhuman troops were all human military personnel who were still alive after the 7 hour war. So basically, everyone of every country's military was rounded up and turned into Combine troops. From there, basically any citizen who resists the Combine get turned into either a soldier or a stalker. Metrocops can also get promoted to soldier, or willingly go through the mind alteration to become a soldier, in exchange for a better lifestyle

+Bigglesworthicus
I agree. It makes it more interesting that when you're killing all of them throughout the levels.
Civil protection are still human in comparison to their overwatch soldiers.
but there are no civil protection in nova prospekt
They are both humans, but soldiers are modified and indoctrinated, sometimes referred to as Transhumans. Civil Protection are normal humans that receive a reward of additional rations as a motivation.

The combine have such a hold on earth they can isolate a miscount in it's citizenry to a block. Wow. That's fucking amazing.
Well, it did take them just 7 hours to completely and utterly lock down the entire Earth and turn 7 billion people into slaves.
Yeah, but at the same time a significant portion of earth's non-urban area is largely out of combine control.
+Mac_ Well, as evidenced by Episode Two, which was after the citadel was blown up and the Combine became disorganized.

+Jack Gardner zombies are referred to necrotics
Billy Raymond cool
@@red_isopat Headcrabs are referred to as "parasitics" as well.
The awesome thing about this is that you can learn so much about the game just by listening to just the radio.
Overwatch has a shitload of codes.
It's just newspeak
Joe Qust
Nope.
Derrick Simmons It is, look it up in a wiki, is confirmed based on newspeak
New speak with codes.
"Primary target has tactical C&C of biotics."
Autonova thats probably when you get the antlion pheromones
I suppose it means "freeman has tactical command and control of antlions"
Since biotics are antlions and narcotics were the zombies.
antlion also have another code i think its exygon
biotic is also used A lot in this game (hl2) Uh i mean refer to as Biotic (synth) (biological weapon)
0:30 they're like "dafuq, he's in control of the antlions?"
uh.. uh... uh..
This guy sounds like he has a hard time believing it.
Tactical CNC he says? I think CNC is command and control

Amputate simply means kill. Disobedient citizens are often amputated.
Actually they turn disobedient people into stalkers if they can capture them, it depends on their crime. Obedience can lead you to live the life as a CU worker with a more pleasant living style, you can even apply to be recruited as a CP.

be sure to record it when you do it next time
I actually love the different "sounds" that appear as different components of the Combine are activated. e.g. at 3:37.
im not sure if i like the old ladyvoice or new ladyvoice. The old sounded a lot less self aware, and the new one is a bit more aware
There's a new lady voice?
You played episode 2? in episode 2, the combine announcer has a different voice. It sounds like a cross between the last voice and glados.
TheNoodleGod
Same voice actor in all of the games, the same person who voiced GLaDOS. The voice is probably different in episode 2 because of the lack of the citadel.
Nebuchadnezzar The Second I know. I think it sounds more human, cause it's more independant now

shithead super srs rp right here fellas
I love the surprise in the combine's voice when he's trying to explain that Freeman has control over antlions (biotics) Its like "...you serious?"
1:26 "Yes sir, I am a meat-Popsicle."
What always intrigued me most is the brutality of the CP units' nature. Maybe that "decent meal" has a manipulating chemical.
It can be propaganda since CP is humans. Propaganda turns people into monsters.
Or maybe it’s like the behaviour that can manifest in any real-life example of a secret police in history
"failiure to cooperate will result in permanent off world relocation"
Oh dear that aint good
***** Nah, it would be way funner to play as Adrian Shepard from Opposing Force

welcome too ..poland ;/ 39- 89??

What if it's Shepherd?

Can anyone help with the rest of the translation/transcription?
"Im 11-99". Pretty much means Im all alone and in need of backup. You will hear the metro police say this in the beginning when you start taking them out.

Me too, sounds like they were really realistic with communication with the enviroment and situations based on the players actions.
This video is great at showing chaos of urprising's begining from combine perspective.
Combine Soldiers look so cute to me! It's something about their masks.
