The Combine forces you fought in Half-Life 2 as Gordon Freeman are only acting as the police force, the real Combine army is much, much stronger. So strong it stomped The United Nations in just seven hours.
This, what you see in the games are simply 'peacekeeping' (if you can call them that) units left behind, and some advisors obviously. Much superior technology but largely relying on captured/willing humans to be transformed into combine transhuman soldiers. This is why it's such a big deal that they blew up the citadel and closed the portal with the Xen resonator rocket because they essentially cut off contact from the local, comparably much weaker combine forces on earth to the main empire, and the combine hadn't developed localized teleportation so they were stuck with manual transportation around on earth. Earth is even considered to be only of marginal interest to the Combine empire and they already tapped alot of earths resources and sent it offworld, so it's not completely unreasonable to think they'll maybe just cut their losses and not even bother tryng to reestablish contact and create a new portal to invade once again
I think we all can agree that tanks would cause severe casualties to Combine Like if Rebels can take out Striders or gunship with Simple RPG then imagine what would do for example M1 Abrams
@@XOFInfantryman Yeah, but striders were probably not the most powerful military units of the combine. They're most likely observer/peacekeeper units left behind.
Everyone in the Combine Empire is gangsta 'till they hear: "WELCOME TO THE HEV MARK V PROTECTIVE SYSTEM, FOR USE IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS."
I'm not gonna rant about how it's innacurate, i find it funny though how they randomly had mass effect reapers and tripods lol, guess the combine invaded those universes too
It does have some right parts though of how they showed the hunter chopper getting shot but not even being dented, because hunter choppers, gunships, striders, all take 7 explosive shots to kill.
Freexty it depends what they mean, if they mean the things with 3 legs from half life 2 they are called striders, if they mean tripods from war of the worlds they probably should have put it better so it isn’t as confusing
I see that the tripod (5:50) is from the movie "War of the Worlds" and the other creature (11:01) is from the movie "Pacific Rim". I do like the wide range of combine forces, and it would make sense because the combines assimilate alien species.
14:22 I like how the combine soldier was just trying to be peaceful and does what the human says then as it's about to get shot it raises it's hands up
You know how there's rebels already in the 7 hour war? I don't think that's incorrect as probably a lot of people would have joined militias and stuff to support the earth troops
My guess is most people would resist the combine forces when they began invading earth Obviously they wouldnt be a very well organized resistance with uniforms or anything, probably just random civilians who picked up arms and fought the attackers
Some things that came to mind: - How did they get humans right at the beginning? CP and Combine soldiers were not present that time. - That Tripod that burns people seems to be from a film (can't recall the title)
Ptting aside the lore problems and use of other science fiction machines like tripods and reapers, this was an amazing depiction of the 7 hour war. i especially loved that that its revealed that it could have been a 5-4 hour war were it not for the incompetence of a commander i do especially love some of the cinematography here too
This was a really enjoyable watch!!!!! not quite how I imagine the 7 hour war really went down but something similar to this. Have you ever thought of getting the combine soldiers with the glowing eyes from mmod they look amazing. The addition of the Tripods and Reapers really adds to it as well cause I feel the combine forces we see on earth during HL2 are probably the bare bones of there full military strength.
the fact we still haven't seen the *actual* combine aliens, just the stuff they've stolen and turned for themselves (and the weak ones, at that) makes them so much scarier
@@vibaj16 most likely not higher management, more likely genetically modified pawns to properly administrate worlds and populations of certain sizes, presumably just in emergency cases, as we only see them dormant in half life, that is up until the point where the combine-made human government falls apart, and the advisors assume leadership roles. Additionally, I find it highly unlikely that the combine government are a single species. Earth is a small island colony to the combine at most, but almost certainly much less than even that, in such a case its possible that a combine government agent was never actually sent to earth.
I have a theory that the combine army during the war had hunters as its soldiers along with gunships, striders, dropships, and no helicopters. I also think humanity shot first as they were busy cleaning up the xen infestation and must have mistook combine forces for xenian life.
@@vssb6186 yea that's because they did not exist right, overwatch comprised entirely of humans. By Synth unit do you mean the hunters and other abominations in the combine arsenal?
I don't think people realise this but, During the 7 hour war the combines that we know didn't actually attack earth. The combines we fight as Half life 2 are transformed humans or humans that joined the Union. During the 7 Hour war we wouldn't see these humanoid looking combines sense the Universal Union never even went to earth yet. So during the 7 hour war the only attack force would have been probably the aliens like synths so like striders, gunships, dropships. Maybe the scrapped combine elite from half life 2 beta was one of these combine attack units.

To everyone complaining about the existence of human soldiers here… Idk combine are multiversal, let's say they conquered a dozen different Earths. Bam, fixed.

This is the best and I mean the best seven hour war animation, and it i complete and finished and not just something abandoned you are really great at this.
Here's a fact: Combine trooper werent actually from the other universe of Combine Empire, they are just transhuman troops. They were produced after 7 hours war
@@King-xe3kt Seriously, are you comparing a game made on roblox that isn't even part of the franchise with events from the original game? will tell me that everything from roblox and canon
A powerful, fearless force with thousands or millions of conquered species that took over the multiverse known as the combine. Apparently can’t survive a nerd.
It is not particularly logical that the alliance already has soldiers in the form of people; they could not fly in and immediately catch up with the army
yeah, but that wouldnt have done anything because the combine MASS produce (when i mean mass produced, i mean it) gunships and other synths, and the use of nuclear bombs could have killed thousands of people
Why is there a kaiju? I mean I tried to not think about it but it uses the MUTO roars at first and then it completely goes out of character and goes full godzilla. Also I noticed the tripod from war of the world's or whatever, and the reaper.
Although. Very inaccurate. Since combine soldiers. Metrocops. Rebels. Didn't really exist during the war. Or hunter choppers. Or any other being and creature used. Of course we can agree that. Rebels could be used as militia. Or conscripts that assisted during the war. But still thank you for taking the time for making this! Must've been a bitch to make.
Captain Price had seen his fair share of battles, but nothing could prepare him for the harsh and desolate world of Half-Life. Ever since the Combine had taken over the planet, humanity had been forced to live under their oppressive rule. But Price was not one to give up without a fight. He had joined forces with the rebels, a ragtag group of fighters who were determined to take back their world from the Combine. As their leader, Price had quickly gained the respect and admiration of his troops. They saw his bravery and his unshakable determination, and they knew that they had a chance to win the war against the Combine with him on their side. Price quickly realized that the rebels were greatly outnumbered and outgunned by the Combine. But he also knew that they had one advantage: their knowledge of the terrain. They knew the ins and outs of every city and every alleyway, and they used that knowledge to their advantage. They launched a series of guerrilla attacks on the Combine, striking quickly and then disappearing back into the shadows. Price led his troops from the front, always at the head of the charge, inspiring his troops to fight harder and never give up. As the war raged on, Price and his rebels began to gain ground against the Combine. They liberated cities and towns, freeing the people from the Combine's grip. With each victory, their numbers grew, and the rebels became a force to be reckoned with. But the Combine was not going to give up without a fight. They launched a massive assault on the rebels, determined to crush their resistance once and for all. Price knew that this was the moment he had been preparing for. He rallied his troops and led them into battle, charging headlong into the Combine's forces. The fighting was intense, and Price could feel his heart pounding in his chest. But he never wavered, never gave up. In the end, the rebels emerged victorious. The Combine was defeated, and humanity was free once again. Price looked out over the battlefield, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment that he had never felt before. He had led his troops to victory, and he had done it with honor and bravery. As he walked away from the battlefield, Price knew that there would always be another fight to be fought. But he also knew that he was ready, and that he would always be there to lead the rebels to victory, no matter how daunting the odds.
None of the things you added abide by the lore, but that is okay. It was made for fun, after all. 1. Gordon woke up from stasis 20 years after The Seven Hour War, not right after. 2. The trans human forces aren't technically supposed to be there, but this is fine. It isn't that far off from the lore. 3. Tripods are somewhat believable, so I'll let them pass. Just know they weren't ever a thing in the Half Life lore. 4. I don't know what to call the thing at 0:43, so there's a timestamp. This was _never_ in the lore. I wish it was, however. And I'd be curious what its role is in the combines forces. 5. 10:23 On a second viewing, this is a really interesting edition! Do you know what it's from? 6. Dog and Alyx wouldn't be there. Alyx was 4 at the time, not 24. And Dog didn't exist. 7. Breen and an advisor *definitely* didn't touch their fingers together, and make a huge, bright explosion. What does this even symbolize? The combine winning? It felt quite odd, honestly. As a huge Half Life fan, on a second viewing, when not in a bad mood, this is pretty good. It isn't accurate, but it's certainly creative. The animation is eh, and could use some improvement, however. But it's not that bad.
What I meant by the certain non-canon elements was the transhuman forces. (Combine Soldiers) :) Thank you for the criticism! I didn't intend on making a 100% lore accurate film, and that was my plan from the beginning. Neither do I think this film represents the accurate lore of the Half-Life universe, but as I mentioned in the description, it is but one of many other possible outcomes. The Combines used Synths from other overtaken worlds, such as the Striders, Gunships/Dropships, Hunters, Crab Synths etc. and inevitably the humans which were made into Overwatch soldiers and Stalkers. We never get to see or hear about which Synths the Combines used in the 7 hour war to take over Earth as of now, and therefore I just used my imagination. :) And if I am not mistaken; didn't Gordon wake up 20 years after the Black Mesa incident, and not the Seven Hour War? When we wake up as Alyx in HL:Alyx, she is 19 years old, and the Citadel is still under construction. I may be wrong, but none the less you are right, Alyx would be atleast a few years younger! :) I am sorry if you feel my film is insulting to the Half-Life universe, but it was just made for fun. They had just revealed that a new HL game would finally come out, and I was probably as excited as you were. But I'll make sure to give my next films some more thought into what would fit in, in a more realistic image. :) (Even though the Nihilanth also was a pretty big monster, which possibly also could've been enslaved by the Combines and used against the humans as an example). And the things at 0:43 is Reapers from Mass Effect. :)
I’m also a huge half life fan, but this feels pretty excessive. It’s a harmless SFM video. It’s not like this is a Netflix original that’s going to be seen by millions of people and be their first impression of Half Life as a series. That would be much different. The chances are that if you’re looking up The Seven Hour War, you already know a fair bit about Half Life and it’s lore, and considering that the majority of the comments I see here are about how inaccurate it is, I’d say it doesn’t matter.
@@Virlance Hey, I'm sorry. I was in a bad mood, and it was wrong to critique you in such a manner. Overall, on a second viewing, it's pretty good. I did update my comment to reflect how I feel now. I'm sorry if I upset you in any way.
@Dat Boii hahaha No seriously I mean like the Combine pummeling London whilst the British Army attempt to evacuate any citizen stuck in London during this, whilst the RAF attempt to take out many flying Synths up to the jets and helicopters finally being brought down once and for all. Eventually then we see the Royal Navy being pulled out of the ports as a way to protect from other synths, either flying or boat like synths

"Ah yes, combine, the immortal synthetic race that conquers and assimilates whole galaxies. We have dismissed that claim"
18:39 that honestly just feels cool to think about, when humanity is basically about to go extinct the half life hero emerges, it's like he's doom guy that gets put in the chyro space pod thing until they need him for when umanity is at stake but only now he just wakes up as gordon freeman
0:30 when you need to tell the senior dev you screwed up the database
To everyone complaining about the existence of human soldiers here…
Idk combine are multiversal, let's say they conquered a dozen different Earths.
Bam, fixed.
Big Brain, yet so obvious
But then there would be no more human soldiers because each earth has a man who wears an HEV Suit called Gordon Freeman
the human enemies shouldn't be there yet, those are people from earth who applied to it
4:29 - Headburger
Imagine sleeping, having a normal day before, then waking up the next morning to aliens controlling the planet
4:58 i wish his burger dropped
Like if agree
Like beggar
For being made in 2020, this is so 2008 and i appreciate it for that alone.
May I ask why you added OTA and combine forces in the seven hour war? Not being mean, but the combine OTA or MP's never existed. That's why synthetics took over
Sorry for the rant
Francy anything you say here is fine because there’s one comment here that I don’t believe you could stoop lower than. Sorry for replying like this, it’s just that the comment really pissed me off. (Not yours, the other.)
In the beginning of the video, there’s a disclaimer.
You be like:what's a disclaimer?
True
@@red-gi6hx and what? He could use original models from invasion pack and it would be much more interesting.
Half Life, Pacific Rim, War of the worlds, godDAMN
this was fun to watch but yeah it has so many flaws like how is there dog there yet? or the fact that there is combing humans when they first invade
Bog Smoke there’s a disclaimer at the beginning of the video
Dotties Alyx Literally shows up. Theres a limit to oh i didnt want this to be realistic
their*
@@haseenabadshah5381 there is the correct form
In fact they did combine humans when they were invading but they had very few.
18:26 AND BOW TO THE COMBİNE EMPİRE ! and that voice rise and shine mr freeman the crowbar speechless man who will put an end to it
Love the way their was just reapers, commander Shepard would have a heart attack if she saw this 🤣
This is the best and I mean the best seven hour war animation, and it i complete and finished and not just something abandoned you are really great at this.
But the worst depiction of it.
6/10 would’ve been 10/10 if the video went on for 7 hours
(Jokes aside I actually really enjoyed this 9/10)
The combine gangsta until a normal scientist wakes up from stasis and grabs a weak crowbar.
6:50 what the hell is that thing
I’m not sure but they look like the aliens from war of the world (2005).
Impressive work, well done!
*We've Taken over the Earth, now it's time to take over this Comments Section.*
God please leave this Guy alone, he said that was innacurate in the start of the vídeo and like 6 times in the description come on!!!!
Here's a fact: Combine trooper werent actually from the other universe of Combine Empire, they are just transhuman troops. They were produced after 7 hours war
But they are in the 7 hour war game on roblox the only difference they have is glowing red and blue eyes
@@King-xe3kt Bro it is roblox.
@@King-xe3kt That's very different.
Also why roblox
@@King-xe3kt Seriously, are you comparing a game made on roblox that isn't even part of the franchise with events from the original game? will tell me that everything from roblox and canon
Fun fact : Other universes and planets could have humanoid life
your gonna eat a burger in the middle of a war? come on, save your food for after the war because your only gonna last seven hours dude.
"NO ONE WILL GET IN OUR WAY"
Some scientist in a HEV suit: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
Nice
A powerful, fearless force with thousands or millions of conquered species that took over the multiverse known as the combine.
Apparently can’t survive a nerd.
It is not particularly logical that the alliance already has soldiers in the form of people; they could not fly in and immediately catch up with the army
0:22 love those sounds and combines going to earth love it
Yes but I don't what name
its the tripod sound from the war of the worlds 2006.
@TvelokThanks
Dang dude good animation keep it up and make more half life animations please
He stopped,and he's making Skibidi toilet now😢
@@giulian9300DAMN IT
0:45 Um... those are Reapers, not Combine.
Yes we know, thats why he put a disclaimer saying that it was in accurate.
In accuracies will be seen here mate
JUST WATCH AND SHUT UP
Wait reapers as in SABNAUTICA REAPER- wait HEEEEY REEFIES
@@Kai-1138bro those aren't reaper leviathans
I Feel like, they could have stopped or atleast "slowed" the invasion with rapid use of thermonuclear or nuclear bombs, or bio weapons
yeah, but that wouldnt have done anything because the combine MASS produce (when i mean mass produced, i mean it) gunships and other synths, and the use of nuclear bombs could have killed thousands of people
@@StupidIdiotTheSecond hmm, right
they did, that's why it wasn't a 6 hour war
Why is there a kaiju? I mean I tried to not think about it but it uses the MUTO roars at first and then it completely goes out of character and goes full godzilla. Also I noticed the tripod from war of the world's or whatever, and the reaper.
Guessing you didnt look at the beginning of the video
Smh
Hahahahah
Although. Very inaccurate. Since combine soldiers. Metrocops. Rebels. Didn't really exist during the war. Or hunter choppers. Or any other being and creature used.
Of course we can agree that. Rebels could be used as militia. Or conscripts that assisted during the war.
But still thank you for taking the time for making this! Must've been a bitch to make.
18:28 its like general hux scene
the 7 hour war takes place in 2001 after the black mesa incident on december 5 2000
5:13 the resistancer are like: Wh- what what is that?!
at the end its a dream come true for a ceritan painter
A reference from Dom studios SKIBİDİ MULTİVERSE virlance wanna answer
Tinel edis
Seven Hour War+War of Worlds=The perfect combination
The Combine literally exceeds Earth's technology and army size.
the reason the Combines won is because they used every advanced technology they have
@@jadeniinovalaquio359 Of course, they are a Type 7 Civilization while Earth is only Type 1.
@@Neuwey331 true but how did you know the alien group call the Combine is a Type 7
@@jadeniinovalaquio359 They literally have inter-dimensional travel and they have been said to be a cross-universe/dimensional empire.
That’s type omega
This is certainly not what I expected but I loved it
Captain Price had seen his fair share of battles, but nothing could prepare him for the harsh and desolate world of Half-Life. Ever since the Combine had taken over the planet, humanity had been forced to live under their oppressive rule. But Price was not one to give up without a fight.
He had joined forces with the rebels, a ragtag group of fighters who were determined to take back their world from the Combine. As their leader, Price had quickly gained the respect and admiration of his troops. They saw his bravery and his unshakable determination, and they knew that they had a chance to win the war against the Combine with him on their side.
Price quickly realized that the rebels were greatly outnumbered and outgunned by the Combine. But he also knew that they had one advantage: their knowledge of the terrain. They knew the ins and outs of every city and every alleyway, and they used that knowledge to their advantage.
They launched a series of guerrilla attacks on the Combine, striking quickly and then disappearing back into the shadows. Price led his troops from the front, always at the head of the charge, inspiring his troops to fight harder and never give up.
As the war raged on, Price and his rebels began to gain ground against the Combine. They liberated cities and towns, freeing the people from the Combine's grip. With each victory, their numbers grew, and the rebels became a force to be reckoned with.
But the Combine was not going to give up without a fight. They launched a massive assault on the rebels, determined to crush their resistance once and for all. Price knew that this was the moment he had been preparing for.
He rallied his troops and led them into battle, charging headlong into the Combine's forces. The fighting was intense, and Price could feel his heart pounding in his chest. But he never wavered, never gave up.
In the end, the rebels emerged victorious. The Combine was defeated, and humanity was free once again. Price looked out over the battlefield, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment that he had never felt before. He had led his troops to victory, and he had done it with honor and bravery.
As he walked away from the battlefield, Price knew that there would always be another fight to be fought. But he also knew that he was ready, and that he would always be there to lead the rebels to victory, no matter how daunting the odds.
one of the best fan made videos that i watched
How the hell were there OTAs before the 7 hour war
The combine force is a strong alien force that conquered so many realms
@@bishalgurung4356 they made the OTA system after the seven hour war,
*notices your planet* UwU
nice vid dude :D
None of the things you added abide by the lore, but that is okay. It was made for fun, after all.
1. Gordon woke up from stasis 20 years after The Seven Hour War, not right after.
2. The trans human forces aren't technically supposed to be there, but this is fine. It isn't that far off from the lore.
3. Tripods are somewhat believable, so I'll let them pass. Just know they weren't ever a thing in the Half Life lore.
4. I don't know what to call the thing at 0:43, so there's a timestamp. This was _never_ in the lore. I wish it was, however. And I'd be curious what its role is in the combines forces.
5. 10:23 On a second viewing, this is a really interesting edition! Do you know what it's from?
6. Dog and Alyx wouldn't be there. Alyx was 4 at the time, not 24. And Dog didn't exist.
7. Breen and an advisor *definitely* didn't touch their fingers together, and make a huge, bright explosion. What does this even symbolize? The combine winning? It felt quite odd, honestly.
As a huge Half Life fan, on a second viewing, when not in a bad mood, this is pretty good. It isn't accurate, but it's certainly creative. The animation is eh, and could use some improvement, however. But it's not that bad.
What I meant by the certain non-canon elements was the transhuman forces. (Combine Soldiers) :) Thank you for the criticism! I didn't intend on making a 100% lore accurate film, and that was my plan from the beginning. Neither do I think this film represents the accurate lore of the Half-Life universe, but as I mentioned in the description, it is but one of many other possible outcomes. The Combines used Synths from other overtaken worlds, such as the Striders, Gunships/Dropships, Hunters, Crab Synths etc. and inevitably the humans which were made into Overwatch soldiers and Stalkers. We never get to see or hear about which Synths the Combines used in the 7 hour war to take over Earth as of now, and therefore I just used my imagination. :) And if I am not mistaken; didn't Gordon wake up 20 years after the Black Mesa incident, and not the Seven Hour War? When we wake up as Alyx in HL:Alyx, she is 19 years old, and the Citadel is still under construction. I may be wrong, but none the less you are right, Alyx would be atleast a few years younger! :)
I am sorry if you feel my film is insulting to the Half-Life universe, but it was just made for fun. They had just revealed that a new HL game would finally come out, and I was probably as excited as you were. But I'll make sure to give my next films some more thought into what would fit in, in a more realistic image. :) (Even though the Nihilanth also was a pretty big monster, which possibly also could've been enslaved by the Combines and used against the humans as an example).
And the things at 0:43 is Reapers from Mass Effect. :)
@@Virlance Eh, fair enough.
I’m also a huge half life fan, but this feels pretty excessive. It’s a harmless SFM video. It’s not like this is a Netflix original that’s going to be seen by millions of people and be their first impression of Half Life as a series. That would be much different. The chances are that if you’re looking up The Seven Hour War, you already know a fair bit about Half Life and it’s lore, and considering that the majority of the comments I see here are about how inaccurate it is, I’d say it doesn’t matter.
@@Virlance Hey, I'm sorry. I was in a bad mood, and it was wrong to critique you in such a manner.
Overall, on a second viewing, it's pretty good. I did update my comment to reflect how I feel now.
I'm sorry if I upset you in any way.
Squidweed hey man at least you’re reasonable about it
The Soldiers should have been synths, due to the combine soldiers seen in Half life 2 were made from humans.
3:21 THE GHOST OF KIYV OMG
The ghost of kiyv does not exist XD
@@chel12376 yeah I know
@@lerageurdelextreme5516 ok
Everybody gangsta till Combines summon Godzilla
2:17
So I started blastin
I love how you added the precursors and the kaiju from pacific rim, I imagine them as an enemy faction to the Combine.
Someone should make a version set in the UK during the Seven Hour War
@Dat Boii hahaha
No seriously I mean like the Combine pummeling London whilst the British Army attempt to evacuate any citizen stuck in London during this, whilst the RAF attempt to take out many flying Synths up to the jets and helicopters finally being brought down once and for all. Eventually then we see the Royal Navy being pulled out of the ports as a way to protect from other synths, either flying or boat like synths
Russia would be better.
@@PRRepublicOfKorea yeah I know
Do u mean that u hate the UK and u want it destroyed?
@@ultramanre503 no I want to see how the UK would deal with the Combine before London fell
