Now I wonder if there’s Rebels in North America and Combine too. In Half-Life Alyx, North America is just a huge red X. It could mean that NA is abandoned/destroyed or something else. If this is the case, I guess it makes sense that the resistance would use the abandoned continent as a base of operation.
IMO it would be better if it was just a fixed timing. Because anount of time how much you should wait before she contacts you via radio can differ in each playthrough, and it is noticeable when you replay hl2 a lot
USA probably got hit hard considering everyone and their mothers owns a gun there, also isn’t there a map with a X on USA somewhere in HL:A or am I misremembering things?
I used to think the soldier laying on the table had an elongated face with a black hole for a mouth, similar to the scream painting. It always creeped me out 😂
Unclear if ALL immune survivors are, but all the playable ones are carriers. Could be the guy was fine until they got onboard, or he was infected beforehand, but the odds are, they were the ones who did him in.
I've read that Dark Carnival was supposed to end on a train getaway, and they changed it because the layout wouldn't have made sense. If so, then that's why they're in a train.
One memorable moment for gunships was probably back at Nova Prospekt when combine soldiers used a flare gun to call reinforcements. It was the first time seeing that red flare so the player was probably wondering what was the meaning of this and when we started hearing in the distance the sound of the beast, we knew what was coming since we've already fought some earlier. His arrival in the middle of the fight made it sounds like a whole warzone. At first you could not take him down since the rocket ammo box was at the end of the path so you could just enjoy the scene of seeing the gunship helping the soldiers shooting everywhere at antlions to hold back the invasion. And when you finally made it the rocket ammo box and started taking the gunship down, another one came in the same way with the flare gun and this... made... the fight... even better 🔥. It was like combine soldiers knew that a single gunship wasn't enough 😅. Both of the gunships were shooting at your rockets giving the appearance of teamwork. The fact that there was no exit at this moment made the player realize he had no choice to take them down in order to keep going. Valve really made a good job, I will always remember this scene as one of the bests. ru-vid.comklOZuBw585k
