Can you begin making AI battles? I'd like to see the interactions between a reviver and a Combine squad, maybe some zombies around for them to be revived.
There is a voice line I heard "Engaging!" while watching someone do the strider battle. I think it belongs to a grunt but I wanted to find out. It doesn't seem to be in your videos though...
@@gangwolfgamer some of the grunt lines in that are scripted. The first guy you fight (on the radio underground) always says “Taking fire!” when you engage him
ECHO = Grunt ECHO One, Two, Three, and Four = Stabilization Team Designations, the reason I think this is because there are voice lines for grunts such as “Echo Four is all clear.” and also there are usually multiple grunts in squads, so they would probably have specific codenames such as Echo One, Echo Two etc.
Grunts when killing zombies : "Back to sleep." "Stay dead." Really goes to show how they're more human than other variants or the later grunts from HL2.
Also raises questions about the true nature of the headcrab zombies. I know they’re meant to be live hosts decaying, but is there potential that the headcrab are controlling dead ones too?
@@Armin2012 not likely. Probably just a play on the word zombie/necrotic - the host is essentially a step away from death, the only thing keeping it alive is the headcrab forcibly controlling the damaged brain and keeping the mangled body working by means of pumping the organs and muscles with a plethora of hormones as well as functioning as a new immune system to prevent infection from seizing the open chest after it shut down the original one in order to control the body. For all intents a headcrab zombie is a dead man walking - and in fact will spend most of the time in a "sleeping" state where it seems not to be agonizing.
There are no Combine grunts in HL2, only soldiers. Grunts are second lowest human units in Universal Combine Empire's army, they are pretty much like upgraded Metro cops, Metro cops with cybernetic augmentations. Ones we see in HL2 are Soldiers and Elites, not grunts.
I love it when they use daggers as weapon lingo, hearing a grunt say "echo one, target confirmed. Daggers free." Just feels cold, calculating, and badass.
I really like some of the individual Alyx announce lines for each class . Like, the Ordinal says “hello target one”, but the Suppressor says “give up alyx”. Gives them some subtle personality differences.
It's interesting how they speak in a mix of military lingo, pseudo-medical codes, and occasionally some genuine emotional outbursts. Valve did an amazing job making the transhuman Combine troops feel both human and alien simultaneously.
I hope this iteration of the Combine is kept in future Half Life games. More humanity but also more surgery. It almost implies they want to be in the military and generally like it. Which is WAY more scary and deep then the likely untrue idea the Wiki puts out that soldiers are mindless robots.
I don't think they have been deprived of it, they speak more methodically sure. But they still need morale boosting speech from Breen that implies that humanity's role within the Combine rests upon their shoulders, they swear, they say things like "We got him him now" etc. They probably just talk more in Alyx because the story allows for more opportunities to see the Combine out of combat.
Lore wise, it seems unlikely. By the events of HL2, the only Combine forces remaining with their humanity are the metro cops, which hardly could even be considered Combine. The soldiers remaining are all synths. Its unclear how much augmentation the Combine in this game have, but quite obvious that they are still thinking for themselves, and have personalities. From their hatred of Headcrabs, to the Ordinals direct line towards Alyx "Hello Target One". The synth Combine humans in the episodes are clearly not thinking for themselves, and only for the Combines survival. Even Zombines are so brainwashed (Or have enough control, due to being synthetic), that they will try to kill themselves, and Gordon, if the player gets close. Although we dont see any Zombine in Alyx, its likely they would function more or less like regular Headcrab Zombies. Although given the Combine we see are almost exclusively in a sealed off Infection Zone, they may have Headcrab resistant helmets, which were phased out after better training, Synths, and AR2s became more common.
I will once again repeat the thing I once wrote in your comments. You are doing god's work, thank you. One can't imagine how much your videos help animators, lore-nerds and others. This is pure gold.
I find it interesting how they refer to Alyx by her first name in this game. In HL2 and the episodes, she and Gordon are referred to by codenames or their surnames (Vance Subprime and Freeman/Anticitizen One)
@@account_idk7534 yeah and I think the combine in half life 2 are modified version of ones in Alyx, that could explain why they more robotic in half life 2
They actually had another unique term for Antlions in HL2 as well in gameplay, occasionally when fighting a small group of antlions they'll refer to them as "untagged viromes" which is a line unique to antlions. The Nova Prospekt scripted dialogue only refers to them as biotics and never uses the term though so it's somewhat of a rarer thing to hear.
14:50 - When you're at the gas station about to brick your drawers, and you go in to the one single toilet stall in order to get some relief, and find that some drunk drug addict has shat all over the side of it, the seat, and all over the floor.
i love the new combine armor, looks like a cross between biohazard gear and combat gear, where the old stuff just looked like a marshmallow. it also looks much more lived in, like you can tell they wear it every day
I'll be honest. In the half-life universe, i'd rather volunteer for a Grunt position, or Charger position, than soldier... Slightly more freedom, and somewhat less danger.
I feel like the only emotion the Ordinal's , Captains , whatever you want to call her. Is shown when she see's Alyx and sarcastically says : "Hello target one." is when I think the only time they show emotion at all.
Maybe that the Ordinal's voice is hard to hear because Valve made it intentionally. Because Ordinal is the high-rank and a team leader, he hands the communications between an unit and another. They maybe made his/her voice hard to hear to censor the information they're sharing via the communication chatter, or it's just they made it so that each type of Combine soldiers is unique....
To be honest my fav combine unit in HL:A is definitely the grunt, they are cool looking with their fuel tank things or gas tanks or what ever, but I like the way their voice is near human like which adds to something terrifying because you could mistake that for just a radio sometimes
The Combine really like using medical themed terminology. They repeatedly refer to the presence of targets as an "outbreak" and killing as "sterilizing," in HL2 they call antlions "biotics" and refer to containing Freeman as "clamping," unused scripts had them describing their own snipers as "scalpels" and in Alyx the Suppressors are called "antibodies" by their squadmates.
@@cornishspy7505 why? I mean antiseptic like to clean up area after shootout. Cuz I don't think he would ask that for himself. And when combine soldiers are injured they ask for stimdose, not for antiseptics
You can blame Real World reasons for the difference - which is boring. In my headcannon the soldiers from HLA were partially prototypes which were the predecessors to the ones from HL2. We can't be sure if the ones from HL2 were already existing at the time of HLA but a propaganda poster seems to suggest that they did. So ask yourself the question what do you do with these early prototypes especially the grunts. You have a quarantine zone, would you use you main line infantry units for such a dangerous work in your backyard or would you use the more expandable ones in combination with some elite specialists?
@@gnome2812 More like "expandable" special forces. At the beginning of the game they raid the resistance operation and capture both Eli and Alyx (capturing of dangerous dissidents would be something for a swat like unit I think). And in the quarantine zone they are operating in the dangerous backyard of City 17 no standard HL2 soldiers. Instead those Grunts, Ordinals, Chargers and Suppressors are deemed competend enough to guard the prison for an eldritch entity and to eliminate any rising threahts rising from the zone. So I would say they are more of a special forces unit than a swat team. The HL2 soldiers seem to be more of the standard infantry.
@@overlordmgcover2262 another question is since this guys are basically another types of combines how does the promotion chain work? In HL2 Combine shotgunners are basically the ordinals in it they say
@@gnome2812 Who knows. If we believe that these prototypes were replaced by the ones from HL2 then we can guess how it goes. With my headcannon I can't say how it really is but I think it is believable that a grunt can be promoted to a ordinal or standard soldier.
I noticed the radio tone (idk what it's called, the sound after speaking) The click-like sounds seems to indicate general information The 'beep' seems to indicate warning/attention Then the other one (longer and note/tone change) seems to indicate command. Could be wrong. Edit: doesn't seem to be too consistent.
He is yeah. Definitely not Scottish though, somewhere in mideast of England based on his accent. Don't forget, City 17 is actually set in some Eastern European country, and that the combine moved people all over the world after the war to cause confusion and ruin resistance planning.
@@jakey9065 Wait, you were seriously talking about the Ordinal being british? I thought it was a paralelism between the classic confusing accent of the British meme and the unlistenable Ordinal voice sounds
There are also moments when ordinal sounds more american, manly and less muffled, like he's been voiced by 2 different people (example: idle, releasing manhack)
