Consequences - A Half-Life: Alyx Short [S2FM] 

Universal Union

The official name of the empire is the Universal Union, it is referred to by rebels as the Combine. (Combine is also a slang term for the UU)

Yeah, I love the Half-Life games, but its definitely one of those universes that I'm really glad I don't live in. First came the Resonance Cascade/Black Mesa Incident, which lead to portal storms and alien fauna and flora infesting the earth. People fled their rural homes to pack into cities guarded by the military. Then the Combine came along, conquering the entire planet in a mere seven hours. The most horrifying thing to think about when it comes to the 7 Hour War, is that the Combine didn't come with the intention of conquering humanity. They came to tie up loose ends (the Nihilanth). So they didn't show up and start rounding people up, they came and started slaughtering people. To the Universal Union, mankind was so insignificant in their biology and technological advancements that they were deemed useless, until Dr. Breen made a deal with them and showed them that man had developed localized teleportation (the Combine can only teleport from one dimension to another). And if the Combine are able to open another super portal, Earth is done for.

@@eternal7912 that’s fax

@@kcayos3970 note that when Breen uses the term "universal union" it's not capitalized, so it's probably his description of the Combine. Also both him and Combine's own propaganda use the term Combine officially. There are posters and signs that say "CMB" all over City 17 and Nova Prospekt

It's the "unforeseen concequences."

Should've brought your passport!

​@@Comboowo I get the reference

@@AMBATUKAMceo Of course, who could ever forget Half Life's perfect series?

@@AMBATUKAMceo man i love that series so much

What does the X mean?

@@Conphrism either entirely destroyed or throughoutly decimated

North America had become completely uninhabitable even by Combine standards as a result of it being ground zero during the invasion. By Half Life 2 the entire continent of North America and the majority of South America had been made inhospitable by the invasive Xen ecosystem and the United States nuking themselves in an attempt at stopping its spread to the rest of the world. Then came the 7 Hours War which destroyed all chances of remaining human life on the continent. I am going off of pure memory so if I got anything wrong (it’s likely that I did) then feel free to correct me.

@@kevinleach7224 no you are wrong, in newspaper from half life alyx America is still operative couple of week's after after combine invasion. They even still did interview with professor from university of Colombia about the consequence of Breen rising to power.

Thanks for the correction.

K see you next year

@@mohamedbelbaali659 I didn’t think S2FM could look this good...

@@mohamedbelbaali659 here in next year and I we are getting closer to dezavu of the Cold War so that’s fun

Too bad the game didnt live up to it

@@QuestionableSprite The story did, i liked it, the gameplay, yeah, boring after first time

@@trichi827 true

This is the real cyberpunk.

🗿👍

When I played Black Mesa and I heard these broadcasts, it made me remember that this wasn't just Black Mesa. And I feel the Emergency Broadcasts added a lot more to Half-Life than people realize. This video being a perfect example, it really does tie the whole video together and I am honestly jealous of the talent it took to make this video.

Can anyone give me text of this broadcast? I do not know English and do not understand what is he saying.

@@artmolados3024 he's saying black Mesa has been invaded, and new Mexico Is to be evacuated.

@@artmolados3024 "The following message is transmitted at the request of local authorities. At 9:47 AM, Mountain Time, a disaster of unknown type has occurred at the Black Mesa Research Facility, causing significant damage and failure to various power and communication systems in the surrounding areas. An immediate evacuation order has been issued for all residents within a 75 mile radius of the facility. An on-site military has been dispatched to provide assistance. Make sure to bring an emergency supply of food, water, clothing, first aid kit, flashlights with extra batteries, and battery powered radios. Follow local evacuation routes which have been marked by local authorities and only use one vehicle. Do not return to the warning area until the all clear has been given. If you are not in the evacuation zone, stay where you are. If you are within the evacuation area and have no transportation, locate your nearest police department or military officer. Do not use telephones or cell phones except in the case of emergencies. Stay tuned to local news media outlets for further details and information on this situation."

@@worldxd7270 you are beautiful!

Thank you! This is extremely humbling to hear. I'm glad you enjoy my work.

@@TheParryGod you created a masterpiece!

@@thedoruk6324 he did!

This gave me video

Alyx was the test

If you know what I mean

@@CASA-dy4vs Hahahaha, you’re so funny! No, shut the flck up.

Welcome to future...

@@transitcombine9057 hi, good videos so far

I wouldn't say HLA is a side story. Alyx is one of the main characters who drive the plot of Half-Life, and with the ending of HLA, what little we thought we knew about HL3 has been blown out of the water.

@@eternal7912 *Valve fucking with us?*

@@evagineer9165 Yup.

Half Life Alyx is 5 years after 7 hours war. Half-Life 2 is 25 YEARS after 7 hours war.

@@eternal7912 Yeah, that's the main story. OP said the GREATER story to continue. All that happened in Alyx was changing Ep2's ending, nothing else.

And maybe a new combine soldier that has the hazmat gear but implemented into standard grunt armour from HL:A and yellow and you can team up with them after gaining there trust since the North American combine got split off from the rest of the combine after the unwilling combine soldiers got flooded with memories that made them kill there commanders who were still indulged in the combine propaganda and you can make colonies so it’s basically fallout:half life i edition

emphasis on stealth and seeing how the aliens of xen took cities over, how they behave, eat, and replicate

Maybe aperture? I'm sure they would be able to fix the enrichment center into a massive research base

Perhaps a kinda escape game as the world falls apart during the 7 hour war

Thank you! I might be horribly biased but it's 100% worth it. Hands down the best gaming experience I've ever had.

And holy shit, subscribed!

The music is "Rite of Passage" aka Johnny Silverhands theme from Cyberpunk 2077, the radio sound I think is from Black Mesa, idk about the rest, but they all come together so well in this video.

I really hope he will made a movie of the half life world and make a half life series.

Exaxto

Glad you enjoy the stuff I make!

It really adds so much dread, we already relate it to that dire moment of deciding our fates, our inevitably

:O I remember you from the sotc ost comments!
