Until this moment, Gordon was on the run. This is where the table turns, when Gordon assaults the notorious Nova Prospekt. This assault was what signaled the resistance to rise up.
It makes me wonder what Ross is going to do for this section in Freeman's Mind, will he go on a power trip with his newfound army and shred through them or will he just be hugging behind cover the entire time scared to poke sitelines with the turrets
When you finally get inside the beast, nova Prospekt plays cueing when Gordon realizes just what he has done. The nova prospekt facility is so important the soldiers there have a completely different uniforms. If Gordon destroys it, the combine will be flapping about it. But that means it won't go down easy...
The first time the soundtrack "Apprehension and evasion" plays, you are running from CPs. You have notiing but a crowbar and they have guns and squads. They aim like kindergarteners, or course, but that doesn't make them any less interrogative. The second time that soundtrack plays, you have an army of antlions, and a lot of artillery. You are not running; they are. The Combine brought out their biggest armies, overwatch and many helicopters, but that means nothing. You do not apprehend nor evade Freeman. He apprehends you. He has no evading to do, but you do.
Highway 17 to entanglement are my favorite chapters. And i love this part, Apprehension and Evasion sounds so epic while attackig the bunkers with antlions
Imagine the guy you're hunting down coming to _your_ prison "Is he turning himself in?" He turns off the thumpers, the only things keeping the Antlions away "Wow, he must be pretty dumb." He throws something at you. It smells awful. Flies swarm you, and so do the Antlions. You come to realize that he has an army now. You're fucked.
Just played this with MMod, it's so much fun to rip those gun turrets off their stations so you can carry it around. You feel pretty much unstoppable whenever you use it.
@@Sexy_Nutella I love that you can change the weapons from heat-scanning to projectile-based like in Doom, it gives you a reason to stay mobile and flank the enemies. Though I do hope in future updates they give the Combine a new animation for when they're about to fire SMG grenades because you don't really get much of a warning until they actually hit you with it.
This nails the feeling of taking the fight to the Combine perfectly! Still waiting for the HL2 Remastered Collection to finally get a Steam release since that is basically Half-Life 2 Update but for Episodes One and Two as well.
At this point, and with the success of recent remakes (Dead Space, Resident Evil 2), I'm all in for HL2 getting a proper remake as well. Though I am eagerly looking forward to HL2 Remastered
@@Sexy_Nutella nah, Half-Life 2 doesn't need a remake. I think it's fine how it is....unless you play with Mmod installed then it feels like the definitive way to play Half-Life 2 and it's Episodes. Also, the antenna with the red lights used for the alarms in the watch towers remind me of the Xen alarm rods from Half-Life 1 when you encounter Vortigaunts at the mining outpost with two AGrunts watching over them during the Interloper chapter.
Imagine a crazy guy with broken glasses bhopping at you with a bugbait and 4 ant-lions on his side running and storming an entire beach full of combines. Well, it came true.
@@Sexy_Nutella oh it's so cool. i didn't notice it my first playthrough cause i was pretty young, but i'm going through it again and what i can hear over the gunfight is really world-building. thanks for this upload though, you definitely had a smoother run at this part than i did >w
On paper this part of yhe game is awesome, in actually gameplay - I found it incredibly frustrating at times. Using the ant lions as meat shields and allies is awesome! But they tend to get in the way. I stopped playing about half way through Nova Prospect because I got lost and it got boring.
Nutella, i have a idea for a video, crowbar collective add more quotes for nihilant, but i can't hear it clearly, you can make a compilation of all quotes ? Please (sorry for my bad english)
Your english is fine :) That's a good idea, but I am actually planning on recording a full playthrough of the game first, since it just came out of public beta.
Should try mmod hard mode (half life mmod hard mode has combine soldiers shoot smg grenades and ar2 balls, and turn on the more accurate combine soldiers setting, it is really f-ing hard.)
The Combine are very predictable and I'd say it's really easy to kill them, compared to HL1's HECU grunts. They are also more aggressive, for better or worse. Makes the shotgunners scary but also kind of silly when they run up to you with no cover. I'd say overall I don't hate it, it gets the job done and lets you feel like the ultimate badass.
Dude is there something wrong with my game?? I've been stuck on this level in medium because none of my rockets are hitting the gunship, am I aiming wrong?
@@Sexy_Nutella but there are some additions, like combine soldiers not being able to use ar2 orbs in addition to elites, you can use iron sights (thought it's more of a zoom than traditional iron sights but still), and even flash light power being seperate form AUX power like in episode 2

The fact that Apprehension and Evasion played just fueled the notion that Gordon is now on the offensive as well. Great pacing!

Everybody gangsta until orange man show up with antlions

This mf just destroyed those 2 big ships like nothing,fr
I always leave the alarm on. Adds to the tension
The music is epic
Yep, so epic they used it twice in the game! :)
awesome level, awesome soundtrack, awesome combat
I loved the entire Nova prospket arc. Well, the turret standoffs lost their novelty after the first few times, but the rest of the maps are great :)
imagine if the antlion willing to work together with the resistants and vorigauns, they could defeat combine easily
Imagine a crazy guy with broken glasses bhopping at you with a bugbait and 4 ant-lions on his side running and storming an entire beach full of combines. Well, it came true.

What do you think of the enemies AI?
The Combine are very predictable and I'd say it's really easy to kill them, compared to HL1's HECU grunts. They are also more aggressive, for better or worse. Makes the shotgunners scary but also kind of silly when they run up to you with no cover.

@@Sexy_Nutella I expected that. Well it seems that I am the only one who knows the Combine AI very well.
I don't doubt it, all I'm basing off of is my experience fighting them in the game.
@@Sexy_Nutella I know that you don't know why they seems dumb even on the hardest difficulty do you wanna the answer?
@@mredgeworth4428 please! I'm curious :)
Te ganaste nuevo sub :)
Muchas gracias! Definitivamente voy a seguir bombeando contenido de Half-Life, espero que disfruten los videos por venir :)
How to use the so-called bugbait
Right click to squeeze it and attract nearby antlions, left click to throw and redirect them.

gunships can shoot your rockets down, maybe try swirling and maneuvering your rpgs around in a different way
@@aguyonyt1 it's okay I realised you have to keep pointing the rocket after you've shot it lmao

you should do half life 2 mmod
Probably not anytime soon. Story-wise it covers the same ground as HL2.

Perhaps eventually, though I have a ton of videos I want to do before revisiting this game with mods
