Having just watched a rocket launch last night, they really did nail how intense that light is. It really does cast those sharp shadows.

[@TinyDeskEngineer]

More games need rocket launches in them

[@TinyDeskEngineer]

Hell, more games need rockets

The voice lines at 1:40 and 2:13 were cut from the original Half-life but, the voice lines at 1:40 - 2:13 still exist in Half-Life 1's Sentences.txt

[@elreborn6541]

what.

[@domasbaliulis23]

i think i get it.

[@justhere4637]

Still exists as text but not as audio or used in the game. I understand.

[@Inventure751]

There were a lot of unused VOX lines like that, even as far as the Waste Processing level.

[@demokosonofazathoth2555]

and if you pull this off i might just forgive you for that rocket debacle in sector 8

[@nilsber.]

maaaggggnificent rocket debacle

[@nprospekt]

The vox is terrifying

[@hanazunicka3170]

1:40 Oh yeah this kind of voice really fit to be shephard voice

[@caav56]

Going by the scrolling text at 1:36, seems like Gordon launched a Titan LV.

[@taboret3280]

It looks good actually

[@IRumburakI]

[@spinningsquare1325]

Is satellite to close off all portal from earth to xen

[@sigmamale6154]

One thing I don't understand is why the HECU didn't just destroy the rocket on the launch pad

[@caav56]

Would *you* try to carve a huge can of extremely nasty hypergols that will kill you horribly upon exposure open?

[@sigmamale6154]

@@caav56 and the engine plume didn't look hypergolic to me

[@caav56]

@@sigmamale6154 The scrolling text at 1:36 mentions exact types of engines that were used on Titan launch vehicles, so it's hypergol.

@@sigmamale6154 Depends on wind conditions. Sooner or later, you'll have to get to the surface and you don't wanna breathe in all that freshly-released hydrazine
