They obviously still select for the kinds of psychopathic and sociopathic behavior traits that an authoritarian regime would select for its police force, as well as probably some minor brainwashing, but that still leaves gaps where things will slip through every now and then.
5:56 im sure it was the outside announcer but the idea of CP finding rebel radio networks then playing a message alerting them that the combine are close by and actively looking for you is terrifying
This shows the depressing pristine hell the combine put onto everyone. We also see the remaining humans wether they held on. And the daily lives of those who joined Civil Protection willingly, conscripted, or got desperate to survive. But this is by far one of the most interesting S2FMs I've seen for a while.
@@frost_9427 In terms of technical prowess, there's a consensus about venerating Parygod. That video is still superior in terms of storytelling though.
This is straight up masterpiece! I always wanted to see CPs as antiheroes, just like that! I like the fact that they are not completely brainwashed like soldiers or elite troops, they have personality and they talk and behave like normal people!
Enjoyed the general idea, but the execution was a bit rough. I'm still thoroughly impressed with what you've made, and there is a lot of heart in it. Some of the animations felt a bit jerky and stiff, specifically. Even with that in mind this was a nice end result. I hope you'll keep animating!
The resurgence of Half Life content through S2FM makes me so happy! Especially with new interpretations to build off of the civil protection, and combine procedures, and go into the depth that we don't see in the games themselves. Really proud of you Foxar. Whatever walls you've overcome while learning S2FM was well worth it, and I'm glad you pushed through!
This is amazing! By far the most ambitious S2FM I’ve seen yet! How does this not have more recognition? The mixing of voice lines was amazing, the animation overall was good, only the CP running animation looked off but I know that’s custom, the story was enjoyable and you were able to wordlessly communicate plot points. Great cinematography overall.
For once, a good fucking SFM that actually cares about how CP's are literally just the same thing as civilians, but working for the combine, its like a police job, but more off-center cause we cant see their faces.
Really solid animation. One of the running sequences was funky, but what I can only assume was mocap looked smooth. Thank the weird, disgustingly invasive and persuasive algorithm that sent me here, not me.
This was great. The exploration of the combine from the combine perspective is seriously lacking in the HL universe, and I love every bit of this kind of content. You captured it exactly as I envision it and the focus on CPs without any full-on combine soldiers or especially overwatch really helps to capture the scale of everything; such as how substantial it would be to have combine soldiers on site etc. The games themselves tend to tear down the scale by having you mowing down hundreds of them, whereas this kind of story you're telling is so much more how I'd like the world of HL2 to be told. I'd love to see more in this style, from all mediums: games, videos, animations, mods etc, For now, I'm just happy I got to watch this today. Thank you. For feedback, I know you already know what you want to improve, so I'll just put emphasis on scene transition as the #1 part that needs improvement. Looking forward to more!
Really wonder if there are any TV shows like this - its really awesome following them along, especially since they're the bad guys so there's always a moral conflict inherent.
This is amazing I'd love to see more of this in the future. Most of the constructive criticism has already been commented so I'll let them handle it lol
Oh m'y fuc*ing god, im a Hlf2 fan and look a lot of animation of Hlf2, but, i've never seen one like that ! It's the best Hlf2 animation that i've never seen, keep the goof work ! 👍
I would say maybe but he's defender-1 meaning he's a team leader and since he's a higher rank than almost if not all of them so they probably did alot of checks
The headcanon I applied in the video is that the codename/number is just an identifier, not rank. If I remember correctly I created the dialogue as if Victor 1 is the leader. I like the theory though!
THIS IS FREAKING FANTASTIC, I LOVE HOW SMOOTH THE ANIMATION IS GREAT WORK! I LOVED THE LIGHTING AND EFFECTS IN THIS TOO, THEIR AWESOME. AS OTHERS HAVE POINTED OUT, I LOVE HOW THEY ACT HUMAN, AND RETAIN THEIR HUMANITY SORT OF. ESPECIALLY THAT ONE CP OFFICER, MAYBE HE'LL SWITCH TO THE GOOD SIDE? UNRELATED TO THIS PROJECT BUT S2FM AS A HOLE, I WONDER IF HITMAN WOA MAPS WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK IN IT IF PORTTED PROPERLY?
So the civil protection officer who spared one of the 'suspects' got an out in the end. Even if he does get 'rescued', he can claim that he was taken hostage and couldn't reply to radio.
Kinda just a general alyx thing that I wanna get out, I like how the game shows us an earlier point in the combines rule where citizens could have a bit more individuality and “freedom” like wearing hoodies compared the the uniform blue outfits seen in half life 2 and even the combine soldiers at that point had comparatively more humanity than what we see later. Idk something about that is just neat
Nice work all things considered, and must have costed a lot of time. But pretty much low quality and robotic animations, chaotic plot, and the "sprint" of one of CP's just killed me XD
As a CP you are just a low ranking soldier of the republic. You need to show case your loyalty and commitment to your country and the president(commander in chief) before you can be enlisted in the armed forces

Finally. Somebody who remembers CPs aren't transhuman with excessively wiped memories.
I think its obvious that only happens to overwatch soldiers
What about accursed farms series
They obviously still select for the kinds of psychopathic and sociopathic behavior traits that an authoritarian regime would select for its police force, as well as probably some minor brainwashing, but that still leaves gaps where things will slip through every now and then.
they probably drank enough water to wipe their memories
@@NotoriousMach and Stalkers , other syths and semi tranhumans ( have some humanity left but mostly gone )
5:56 im sure it was the outside announcer but the idea of CP finding rebel radio networks then playing a message alerting them that the combine are close by and actively looking for you is terrifying
I think they'd use it to give false orders. Even more efficient that way.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK
DONT ABREVIATE CIVIL PROTECTION
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK
Oh my god this is amazing, this reminds so much of the old civil protection series by accursed farms with mike and dave. This also needs more views.
Hi patar
Hi patar
Hi patar
Mike and Dave are on vortigaunt duty
hi patar
That guy riding shotgun napping on the way to the deployment site is one of those "yeah that checks out" kinda things.

Oddly wholesome the driver let his buddy sleep in before they arrived.
That final shot's lighting with the rebel and CP looking at each other was really cool. Great video!
Thank you! It's not the best out there, but I'm trying my best. :)

Popped up on my feed and I’ve never been more satisfied. Looks so good. I could really feel the work you put in.
Thank you! I appreciate it.

Gotta go fast
Yea it looks like a run straight from G-Mod hahaha

Another very good S2FM guy is TheParryGod, he made a really good one called Protectors.

more views required, it's so cool to see Civil Protection going on operations, not just stabilization teams. Keep up the good work!
This is the first sfm I’ve seen in source 2 and I’m well impressed
look Up theParryGod he also makes sfm in source 2
Really wonder if there are any TV shows like this - its really awesome following them along, especially since they're the bad guys so there's always a moral conflict inherent.
Jin Roh the Wolf Brigade is pretty much the Civil Protection team anime.
BREAKING NEWS
Dora the explorer kills 3 police officer at a train station!
I love the atmosphere! Great job!
I hope you continue to do this. You are good at it, keep up the good work!
We need more of that
The last scene was so good man
This is amazing I'd love to see more of this in the future. Most of the constructive criticism has already been commented so I'll let them handle it lol
My man you are really underrated.
I love the animation keep up your work, im looking forward for more
Thank you!
Finally, some new videos about combine that are actually good nice job you outdid yourself I’m subscribing
Aww the metrocop fell asleep in the car :)
It’s good for what it is, but it definitely needs work. A lot of jittery movement.
Thank you for your feedback. I intend to improve on it with future videos.

Good point to make clear that civil protection officers are mostly human, and as such can still show some compassion when encountering survivors.
You are watching masters at work..Masterpiece #3
If I were to join the combine I would like to be cp bc your just wearing the suit your not modified
How i love the og HL2 combine voice
the lighting was perfect keep up the great work!
Very very well done C: I love projects like this that are obviously well-made but have a lot of heart to them still!
this amazing instant subscribe got any other sfm2 projects you working on
Plenty of ideas in my head so there may be more
Anyone else feel like the cp in the end was Barney, since he’d have to do stuff like this to be undercover.
I would say maybe but he's defender-1 meaning he's a team leader and since he's a higher rank than almost if not all of them so they probably did alot of checks

That walk at 6:59 looks too funny xd
A little rough around the edges, but still very cinematic and enjoyable!
9:26 Overwatch acknowledges containment failure. Hold for reinforcement, Suppressor inbound
Nice work Foxar ! keep up the good work...
great job this looks awesome keep up the good work
i like how the combine riding shotgun just fell asleep like they were on a family road trip lol

“I still have nightmares about that cat.”
This vid is criminally underviewed
0:46 I like how he sleepin lol.
Why isn’t this at 1 million views?!
This is the first time a civil protection team member was actually smart
I always think that combines are like the Roman Empire in his glory, and the rebels are like the christens that want mess up that mickle project.
One of the CP'S In this animation is equipped with a pulse SMG
Ayo Foxar! Nice work, hope to see more of you're content! ( +SUB )
Amazing work, good job!
zobaczyłem to zdecydowanie za późno, kawał zajebistej roboty szefie cp : )
Nice work again!
Agree)
wish at 4:04 it would play barney's line when hes undercover as a metrocop: "Nah, im good."
just a little foreshadowing for who was behind the mask
What do you mean “witness protection?”
@@matthewjones39OH crap! I think I mixed up gta 5 and half life lol. I meant "MetroPolice"
Eh, too late to change it now. But thanks
@@pissedoffbucketguy9115 Oh.
Well done, clearly underrated comrad
Thank you, very cool. well done.
Honestly at that end scene it would have been cool if that Civil Protection Officer would have taken off his mask and its Barney Calhoun.
"Suppressor inbound"
*APF Appeaar*
Peripheral vision when wearing those stupid masks would be non-existent.
one of those CPs was Adrian Shepard
Very nice work, bit stiff but the artistic vision is pristine. Would love to see more.

The animation is pretty rough, but I bet you'll get better with time.
Thats awesome!!!
This is really good.
I love the animation
underrated

Some clippy and rough animation, but the story more than made up for it. Gave me some HL2RP nostalgia fosho
They tried to make me the Queen of Blades .
i became the Queen of Bullets .
Amputate means "kill." For those that don't know. Amputating the "tumor" of their perfect union society.
4:27 you can hear the screams of the civilian As the CP bashes him
Oh man. This is good.
It was very nice but do CPs get memory replacement but either then that great work and loved the emotions
Nice work all things considered, and must have costed a lot of time. But pretty much low quality and robotic animations, chaotic plot, and the "sprint" of one of CP's just killed me XD
Imangine a guy just blast a door and go full combinic
Good job!
How do u animate stuff like this? Are the animations finished or are u animating by hand or mocap?
Most are premade half life Alyx animations that I blend together. Minor tiny movements are animated by hand
As a CP you are just a low ranking soldier of the republic.
You need to show case your loyalty and commitment to your country and the president(commander in chief) before you can be enlisted in the armed forces

Civil Protection: 😀

sleepy combine
they have a thermal imager !
The only things i can say is perfect and deep
this is so, so damn good
