The Combine Empire is ever expanding thanks to their significant ability to adapt and survive in new and hostile environments. By enslaving and combining themselves with the natural inhabitants of conquered worlds, they are able to swiftly take over and claim control of new dimensions.
Some natural inhabitants will more willingly than others choose to combine themselves with the Combine Empire, in exchange for a better standard of living. Perhaps to protect and care for a loved one, however, things may not always turn out the way one had intended.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this cinematic I did my best to 'show not tell' the story. The dialogue is at a minimum, and the story is shown through character expressions and movements. If you have anything you think could improve the future story telling of my cinematics, please leave it in a comment! :)
The story is of course not canon, and my work is in no way associated with the work of Valve, however, I tried to stick as much to the Half-Life lore with this one as I could, but there's still a few things I have added here and there.
If you enjoyed the film, I would gladly appreciate if you left a comment or a like on the video, it would help me a lot for future projects! :)
Thanks for watching, more Half-Life animations and sketches coming up before you know it! Stay tuned!

Commander Delta 6-4-7, sector 13. Incident report: During the standard anti-insurgent raid, heavy unit D-647-2H got a serious emotional disorder that leads to the death of the whole platoon and losing of insurgent intel data caused by fire in the building. The platoon havy unit was emotionaly connected to the one of the female insurgents that was executed during the standard procedure of raid. The incedent showed that sound and visual mind reconstruction procedure is ineffective against extreme stress situations and leads to the failing of Combine operations. End of report. Suggestions: Cybernetic brain augmentation can solve the problem with emotional disorder, but tactical flexibility will become lower as the whole quality of the units.

Having this take place with HL:A's Combine actually makes the returning of memories and betrayal more accurate than HL2. The Combine soldiers act so much more human in HL:A, like erasing memories is not exactly perfected yet, or they are having a hard time removing human nature unlike HL2 where they refuse to disobey and are complete cogs in the machine.

@ChaoZz07 3 года назад

It isn’t lore accurate. Memories are suppressed by the advisors. And the suppression is refreshed every so often. So it is impossible for them to gain their memories back.

@naturesquad9174 3 года назад

The combine was just as gruesome in Alyx as HL2, I think. Possibly moreso because you saw in more detail how they harness other lifeforms for their tech (vortigaunts, antlions, biomatter locks) Also they shoot an unarmed dude in the face in the QZ. Also they haven't even finished building the citadel yet so they havent properly culled the herd fully

it would technically be possible since combine soldiers (contrary to popular belief) retain some free will, as demonstrated multiple times throughout hl:A and hl2, but they are extremely indoctrinated, it would be hard to convince one that the combine are bad considering that from their perspective they owe their existence to the combine.

@waffler-yz3gw Год назад

@@Eyeling you forgot about the fact they modify your body and put implants in your brain so for the higher ranks there's barely any free will,

@Eyeling Год назад

@@waffler-yz3gw Where did you get that idea from? They all have the same voice lines, just edited slightly for the higher ranks to sound different. We can actually see what implants they get in their brain in hl2, as there is a shirtless and helmetless combine soldier Easter egg in hl2. The implants are focused around the areas of the brain that are related to empathy, meaning that the combine want the overwatch soldiers to have some level of free will, as the lack of empathy areas of the brain will turn them into psychopaths and they will be more predisposed to cruelty. We can hear emotions in the voice lines of the combine soldiers too, just listen very carefully. And why would Breen address the combine elites at the end of hl2 as if they were sentient? He askes them to take the gravity gun away in a very casual way. Also, why do the combine soldiers not shut down when both nova prospekt and the citadel were destroyed if they don't have free will? Who is controlling them? Isaac Kliener literally says that the Combine Overwatch Units are basically left to their own devices, desperately trying to recontact the combine overworld. Valve has always shown that the combine soldiers have some level of free will and self awareness, there really isn't anything in half life that shows that they don't.

I want to see more storyline of the CP's and the Combine after the events of Half Life Alyx and how they become more strict towards the citizens like you see in HL2, after the Gman gets let out of the vault. At the beginning of Half Life Alyx, Civil Protection seem to be a lot more relaxed allowing citizens to ride bicycles, the blue uniforms are optional to wear. You are allowed pets and you could socialise with other people.

@josephnigel8811 3 года назад

It seems they got stricter after the loss of the vault, the completion of the citadel allowing them more ease on resources through import. And a standardization of combine forces if hl2 combine soldiers are to take any form of higher canonicity over hlA soldiers. It seems the combine wanted to finally leave their transhumanist prototyping stage, get the local teleportation technology and ship all combine forces to the next occupation zone. Thus everyone was being pressured hard to join the CP aswell as then enlist in the Transhuman Armed Forces.

@Ribbons0121R121 3 года назад

most likely became stricter as times went on in amore gradual fashion once rebellions began to creep up on the radar, plus the more gradual change is a smart move as it allows more time to adapt to small changes so theres much less resistance to them

@purpleemerald5299 3 года назад

To be fair, I think another big reason for the differences is simply that the lack of variety in both Combine units and citizen attire, as well as the lack of more complex sequences and behaviours, was just a lot more reasonable 16 years ago compared to when Alyx came out. This seems more like an expansion on ideas they’d have implemented if given the chance. Of course, that’s just the meta reasoning. The in-universe time gap gives the developers all the canonical explanations they need.

@MegaSean45 3 года назад

I'm guessing it's punishment for rebellion. The more rebels cause chaos, the more privileges get taken away for everyone else. That is a pretty smart strategy to be honest - it makes more rebels surrender so civilian life will be less difficult.

@sunshineskystar 2 года назад

I think it simply because combine or breen are simply that smart and they took freedom away gradually so people wont notice. its likely from the latter since the combine themselves would NOT care whether human like their control or not, Breen would likely persuade the combine to be nicer in earlier days so Eli keep working on the local teleport and also simply as mercy for his own species (remember Breen didnt want combine extinguish human and only took the role to save mankind)

Would be cool if Valve made another HL game where you play as a metrocop that goes rogue and ends up siding with the rebels.

That would be sick

The composition in this is incredible. Some of these shots (like the protagonist smashing the gunners head in) was badass as hell

If I recall, the soldiers in Alyx are implied to be less brainwashed than the ones in HL2...guess this would be a good justification for why they're prequel-only units (though the lack of an Overwatch equivalent to the heavy soldiers and LMG units still ends up being an oddity in retrospect).

There are 2 kinds of ways to humanize civil protection 1. A deep and amazing video 2. Accursed farms

All that needs to be said is that the Animation needs a bit more refinement and work, but as a product overall, if we overlook that aspect of it, it tells a nice story and is enjoyable. Well done, hope to see more in the future.

Now I hope the combines understood the lesson because they were not snugly destroyed by a citizen but the fact that the collector remembered the girl and taught revenge for her how I want people not to die at the hands of combines ...

@TACTIK00L 3 года назад

no they wont understand it They can spare casualties

@TheVengexs 3 года назад

Yes I sure they can spare but combine grunt didnt spare girl (citizen) Though she raised her hands forever

@TACTIK00L 3 года назад

have you ever played half life

@TheVengexs 3 года назад

I played in hl2 + ep1, 2 in hla not played I lost my VR glasses + I lost my acc on steam

The combine always understood the lesson though, all of their units receive family protection n stuff n haves their family with them/constantly united What i assume happened here is that she was caught at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I think after the combineification procedure, probably their brain most likely works like a bionic computer. Their memories not only been erased but probably their brain redesigned as a bionic ai computer only capable of accomplishing certain tasks.

Bro you made Wallhammer so badass, the glowing blue eyes blue "god" sound in backround. Also its probably one of most of not favorite Half-Life SFM. I got one issue, i doubt OTA member (combine soliders, such as Wallhammer, Echo, Supressor etc) would have human emotions and memories, they are heavily modified to be robotic killing machines. Besides that, amazing job. Omg you are the guy who makes skibidi series now, whoa haha. Also i got chills from this super combine solider at the end.
