You kind of forget how powerful the nihilanth really is when you realise he has his own airforce, slaves, factories and grunt armies with controllers. Forgetting all the normal xen wildlife you feel as if you and only you can defeat him. I just hate how underapreciated and overlooked he is as an antagonist. He is often overshadowed by the combine in hl2. Man I can't wait to fight him in the xen update.
Xen were the aliens we had a chance to combat and defeat, as it took only one HECU battalion to hold them for 2 days. The Combine on other hand..not so much.
Nihilanth is combine puppet, they turn him to slave. Factories where Aliens Grunts are created ( Vortigaunt Synth ) was made by combine. Because don’t forget that Vortigaunts arent from Xen, Combine chased them from their native place

This is hands-down, *one* the most badass chapters/scenes of all video games, the Apaches shooting down the alien aircrafts, Harriers tearing shit up and the Ospreys flying by with more backup arriving, all while you gun down a HECU squad and destroy their Armor with an RPG, and the soundtrack puts everything together beautifully

My favourite part about this scene is that there are two fights going on at once. Like while you're taking on troops and a tank there's jets and manta rays in the skies zooming around
@@shingshongshamalama I know right? This is where you realise, that this thing is so much bigger than you, the Marines or Black Mesa for that matter. The Marines aren't retreating because you shot them so much, it's because they have lot bigger fish to fry.
I'm back to this video after watching "The Aftermath of the Black Mesa Incident: Definitive Edition". This visual with the first sunset after the disaster and the air force planes intercepting the new spread alien wildlife along with the wonderful song now has far more meaning than before.
This scene is awesome, the sunset. the fighter jets, all that stuff. This game really did push the limits of source in the greatest ways. It's awesome.
It's one of the things I absolutely love about half life. On one hand you have humans who develop mechanical and electrical tech to make up for their shortcomings. Meanwhile xen and the combine use biological tech. Vortigaunts have vortessence, people have radio and internet
When you realize that after this moment humanity is on it's knees, a struggling race with only the hope of a crowbar wielding scientist. Really, the best part about black mesa as a whole is the storytelling, the feeling of dread and hopelessness that fights with the hope and will Gordon freeman carries on his shoulders throughout the game. No matter the enemy, strong or weak, big or tall, he always perseveres. He is the combines reckoning, the nihilanths undoing, and humanity's savior last hope in a world of endless darkness. Freeman isn't just a video game protagonist, he's the embodiment of humanity's will the survive against all odds
HECU CP:Shepherd?You're alive?!Good job!Listen carefully,corponal...FORGET ABOUT FREEMAN,we're pulling out.Repeat,we're pulling out!The last en route evacuation helicopter will be ready to set,you'll have to make your way to evac point.Good luck,corponal,out.
I like how the music and settings makes you feel how Gordon feels while managing to keep the silent protagonist approach. Here you know the marines are trying to escape and you're no longer their top priority, but they killed your coworkers and the music makes you crave revenge. Yes you're on a mission to save earth but you're just a normal civilian fighting for survival, so of course you might take them out without hesitation, they killed your friends so lets return the favor.

Jet pilot 1 : Holy shit wtf are those things! Jet pilot 2 : Airborne team we’ve got some unknown enemy airborne forces on the west area fire at well ! ! !
idk why, Some of the Harriers look like they are going way too fast. this is one at 0:20 and another one at 0:28. the one at the end is going like mach 6 bro.
It probably uses a move script instead of an animated rig. Move scripts are kinda weird because it’s unreliable. As time goes on and the script keeps going, the harrier might act a bit weird
Hence why in the Black Mesa remake, president orders to resort to aerial bombardment to contain the threat. It was the one thing that was relatively safe from the Xenian invaders, as they lacked any real capabilities to contest the air space. However, it’s worth noting, by this point, the portal storms were spreading beyond the facility. The department of defence openly admitted that an unknown force was in black mesa, as reports came in that aliens started popping up across new-Mexico With alien aircraft basically flying around willy nilly, and teleport events occurring everywhere, any hope of containing and silencing black mesa was long gone
The Harriers and The Manta rays dogfighting with so much valor and grit, completely unaware that a force of evil is far greater than anything either of them will destroy them all in hours... and its *not* the combine.
It's sad how no one makes much mods for Black Mesa with new locations and lab complexes like the ones in Lambda Core with lights and lamps everywhere. The atmosphere is what made HL1 and Black Mesa different from HL2 with its creepy and dark vibe.
I've been trying to figure out something, in Half-Life lore, it is said that the Black Mesa incident happens on Tuesday, May 16th, 200x. I was looking at calendars, the only matching date would be either 2000 or 2006, I go by Foxtrot Uniforms date, which is May 16th, 2003, but it doesn't make sense, what are your guys opinions?
I think is setting in 1998, because the H.E.C.U uniforms are from the 90's winter camuflaje version of the Marines, and of course because in that year was launch the first HL.
Realistically None of those harriers would be firing fox 2 or fox 3 Considering the model of said jet only has 2 drop tanks and 4 GBU 24s 25mm it is them.....just prey you have enough ammo
I think the Marine pilots are a little more concerned with the supersonic, laserbeam firing moths pulling sixty G's than they are with Freeman at this point.
@@ee214verilogtutorial2 Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh, as much as I love Half-Life (have since I was only 6 years old) I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one, simply because we have no fucking clue what's on the Border world, the Combine could have something strong enough to wipe out EVERY SCP, including 682.
minikrim_two the best listen to the radio chatter. “Forget about Freeman. We're abandoning the base. If you have any last bomb targets, mark them on the tactical map. Otherwise, get the hell out of there. Repeat, we are pulling out and commencing airstrikes. Give us targets or get below.” And “Forget about Freeman! We are cutting our losses and pulling out. Anyone left down there now is on his own. Repeat, if you weren't already, you are now.” It’s clearly stated that the military is retreating at this point.
minikrim_two the best again, it’s a fighting retreat. Those jets are providing cover for retreating helicopters and ground units. They aren’t fighting to win. They are fighting to survive. At that point it can’t be called a battle.
Imagine this scene, but instead of Black Mesa. It's during the Fall of Beacon with one catch, instead of the Atlesian Military, American/NATO forces are fighting against the Grimm, USAF/RAF Fighter planes engaging in Dogfights against aerial Grimm creatures like Griffons, Lancers, Nevermores and Wyverns, USN warships in the sea launching naval missiles against land Grimm Creatures and American/German/British/French land forces (i.e. soldiers and tanks) fighting against Land creatures like Deathstalkers, Beowolves, Goliaths, Horse Grimms, Beringels and Ursais. UPD: This scene would also apply to the Black Mesa incident, if the Xenian forces were to be replaced by the Grimm.
Jet Pilot : "Damn hes on my back" Jet Pilot 2 : i got him i got him" *aliens hostiles appear* Jet pilot : tell my mom i love her Multiple targets, LOCK LOCK- *WARNING WARNING MISSILE* *HIT*
The large flying manta ray looking things could never move that fast in reality if they existed, in fact they probably couldn't fly at all unless they were from a world with a very dense atmosphere. To create massive speed in a forward direction, wings aren't enough, you need a force being directed purely backwards like in planes and jets. You could create a fantasy creature in fact with this ability, by having a cavity inside it's body and many flaps inside, where a negative pressure is created and air rushes into the cavity and is projected out the back of the creature for thrust. You could then make a lore that makes sense for physics and a creature that may be able to fly at 200km/h.
If it wasn't For the Nihilanth The Combine might have never found Earth because they only found Earth because of the massive energies coming from the portal Nihilanth was holding open ! And G-Man and His Mistery Employers have A finger in it because he gave the Xen Piece to Black Mesa to Kick start all the chain of events starting With Black messa opening a portal Directed by G-Man For the Nihilanth to Notice and hold it open so Freeman could get in And kill him paving a way for the G-mans emplyers to take over Xen , and amidst all that mess The Combine caught a drift of strong portal energies and that way they found Earth ! And you know the rest.. Gawd i love this Story I think its one of the best Lores i have seen ! I hope Gabe gives us another Adventure Of Gordon !
88Guardsmen if you think about it, America was completely destroyed during the seven hour war while being the focal point for the invasion. Russia and the other European nations show considerably less wartime damage from the war. It’s safe to assume that the Russians and other European governments surrendered early into the invasion. That’s why so much of the nation’s infrastructure is still up and running, and why the Combine decided to move the remaining human population into the eastern block. If the U.S. at full combat readiness couldn’t hold back the Combine, what makes you think an unsuspecting and unprepared Russia could do any better? 4-5 hours is not enough time to mount any decent defense, especially for a nation as large as Russia.
@@tacotaco1239 To be honest, there were a few months of portal storms and xen aliens teleporting everywhere, between the Black Mesa Incident and the Combine Invasion, so the militaries of the world were on high alert for some time.
bence klock actually, it’s clearly stated by Alyx that the storms only lasted a few days (at most) before the combine invasion. But if you wanna get really technical, besides Alyx mentioning it that one time, it’s not actually known how long the storms lasted. All that’s known is that the combine invaded almost immediately after the storms subsided. Plus it’s hard to believe that every military on Earth was ready to fight. Don’t you find it odd that you traverse a large swath of a European country and city, yet you only find a few signs of battle?
You kind of forget how powerful the nihilanth really is when you realise he has his own airforce, slaves, factories and grunt armies with controllers.

@@raidb0ss29 it also adds when you hear the screams of marines through the radios and evac calls to get to fuck out

minikrim_two the best again, it’s a fighting retreat. Those jets are providing cover for retreating helicopters and ground units. They aren’t fighting to win. They are fighting to survive. At that point it can’t be called a battle.
I still waiting for HL2 remake.
Try mmod
@@Gwynlordofcinder1234 I completed it, but it's more like small remaster.
All illusions of a human victory were shattered.
There’s no silencing black mesa now. It’s out there for the world to see
Squad the ere is! Open fire!!
woah pretty great
Forget About Freeman!!!
Imagine this scene, but instead of Black Mesa. It's during the Fall of Beacon with one catch, instead of the Atlesian Military, American/NATO forces are fighting against the Grimm, USAF/RAF Fighter planes engaging in Dogfights against aerial Grimm creatures like Griffons, Lancers, Nevermores and Wyverns, USN warships in the sea launching naval missiles against land Grimm Creatures and American/German/British/French land forces (i.e. soldiers and tanks) fighting against Land creatures like Deathstalkers, Beowolves, Goliaths, Horse Grimms, Beringels and Ursais.
UPD: This scene would also apply to the Black Mesa incident, if the Xenian forces were to be replaced by the Grimm.

looks like 7hours war
I totally agree
Best Part Thisgame
Affrey juliet got hit, i repeat affre -missile strike-
*static noise*
The large flying manta ray looking things could never move that fast in reality if they existed, in fact they probably couldn't fly at all unless they were from a world with a very dense atmosphere.
To create massive speed in a forward direction, wings aren't enough, you need a force being directed purely backwards like in planes and jets. You could create a fantasy creature in fact with this ability, by having a cavity inside it's body and many flaps inside, where a negative pressure is created and air rushes into the cavity and is projected out the back of the creature for thrust. You could then make a lore that makes sense for physics and a creature that may be able to fly at 200km/h.
They are half machines, dude.
those are alien aircrafts
Now it's like Coronavirus Vs Antibodies 😅
Best scene no more. Xen took its place. Watch Xen trailer to see what I mean.
If it wasn't For the Nihilanth The Combine might have never found Earth because they only found Earth because of the massive energies coming from the portal Nihilanth was holding open ! And G-Man and His Mistery Employers have A finger in it because he gave the Xen Piece to Black Mesa to Kick start all the chain of events starting With Black messa opening a portal Directed by G-Man For the Nihilanth to Notice and hold it open so Freeman could get in And kill him paving a way for the G-mans emplyers to take over Xen , and amidst all that mess The Combine caught a drift of strong portal energies and that way they found Earth ! And you know the rest.. Gawd i love this Story I think its one of the best Lores i have seen ! I hope Gabe gives us another Adventure Of Gordon !
hecu is making new scp facility with more anomalys with more object classes called killed and danger and safe only
Hecu is just military
i lost all my braincells with this
you do realize the HECU can't kill most of the anomalies and the HECU aren't involved with the foundation at all
commets broken
Too sad that the russians had to fought alone against the combine
I bet that fighting with Russians gave those aliens some hell.
88Guardsmen *yet they still destroyed us in 7 hours*
88Guardsmen if you think about it, America was completely destroyed during the seven hour war while being the focal point for the invasion. Russia and the other European nations show considerably less wartime damage from the war. It’s safe to assume that the Russians and other European governments surrendered early into the invasion. That’s why so much of the nation’s infrastructure is still up and running, and why the Combine decided to move the remaining human population into the eastern block. If the U.S. at full combat readiness couldn’t hold back the Combine, what makes you think an unsuspecting and unprepared Russia could do any better? 4-5 hours is not enough time to mount any decent defense, especially for a nation as large as Russia.
@@tacotaco1239 To be honest, there were a few months of portal storms and xen aliens teleporting everywhere, between the Black Mesa Incident and the Combine Invasion, so the militaries of the world were on high alert for some time.
bence klock actually, it’s clearly stated by Alyx that the storms only lasted a few days (at most) before the combine invasion. But if you wanna get really technical, besides Alyx mentioning it that one time, it’s not actually known how long the storms lasted. All that’s known is that the combine invaded almost immediately after the storms subsided. Plus it’s hard to believe that every military on Earth was ready to fight. Don’t you find it odd that you traverse a large swath of a European country and city, yet you only find a few signs of battle?
I was wondering why these graphics looks mid but then I realised It's from 2012 lol
Don't you dare call Black Mesa mid
@@GasMaskCitizenBeta nah, I love this game I was talking about graphics from 2012 bc they don't looks so good
