Half Life 2 Episode 1 Ambience City 17

The firing and striders sounds played during the Urban Flight chapter but without Dr. Kleiner's warning speech.

as a admin of a half life rp server this is true

civil war

[@jamesanderson5727]

For real, on SCPRP When no admins are on we do a free for all or teamdeath match with the D class. We let them get guns. Or we let them het to the surface, or purposefully breach an SCP

When there's no admin's online in a HL2RP server, i put a bright light, making the whole plaza bright af. And, kids, that's how i got a 1 year ban that expires around 3-5 January 2022.

each crack of gunfire tells a story

[@FunkiestChickenlawl]

Fun fact, those distant SMG sounds you hear aren’t part of the ambience, but are programmed to fire by a couple of invisible npcs. If you go noclip to the outskirts of the map you can actually see them firing at each other, bullets and all.

[@DelosWX]

Oh really, that's actually super neat, next time I'm decompiling maps I'll give it a look, do you have the map names?

[@acceltech]

by the way, this also works with the explosions i believe, im not too sure though

I used to see some really weird shit "outside the grid" when I used to noclip in Half Life back in the 90s...

[@freshlocalwoodchimps]

Ahhh man 0:52 that distant gunship scream gives me the chills every time. Out of the many games I've played, Half life 2 has one of the most unique sound designs which I always come back to for pure asmr. For me, sound design is one of the most key things that makes a game amazing! Thanks for the upload!

[@antonio-onism9814]

I couldn't agree more :)

[@celeb909h6]

I never thought that was a gunship scream, so huh

[@zv3zd525]

That's a gunship?

[@koksu1208]

That's one of my favorite ambient sounds

[@mahuba2553]

just look how the striders are effective at what they are, the buildings are literaly ashes

[@Adomavo]

No wonder the Combine have won the 7 Hour War

[@zoz3608]

I think It's not only striders, combine use impulse artillery, Gunship impulse bombardments, rockets and C4 explosives, rebels sometimes use them too.

[@MajinMist603]

Fun fact, city-17 is in sector 17 and its location is in the european union or europe and it resembles a post-soviet harbor city

[@codyeaster290]

Nah really?! I thought this was Gettysburg in 1863.

[@fogfatigue4980]

Fun fact I found a few days ago: in Half-Life 2's game files (Episode 1 has almost the same sounds, duh), in *sound\ambient\levels\streetwar* directory there is a sound file called *city_chant1.wav*. It appears that it's the voice of a commander leading the marching of his squad (It could be The Resistance or Civil Protection), because you can hear that he says "one, two, three!" in russian ("раз, два, три!" or "raz, dva, tri!"). So it also proves that Half-Life 2 events are actually set in Eastern Europe, in Bulgaria. So even if you have english localization installed, you can actually hear russian voices in the game.

[@szedari]

Ik that already but thx

[@tatotaytoman5934]

so is the harbour on the Mediterranean sea or the black sea

[@tatotaytoman5934]

@average city 17 resident ok, but technically there are no national borders so Gordon could have travelled to the Agean sea as well but I don't think that's the case. I am surprised the black sea isn't just straight up gone because of the combine resource draining

[@dylanjanssen9627]

combine this with the battle loop of the street war and you get something amazing

[@jamesanderson5727]

Each game ambience tells a story. Hl2's was total war. This one sounds like lots of Combine gunning down survivors and vehicles trying to escape.

[@CrabmanReturns]

and some citizens defending themselves while escaping

[@CourierSiix]

@one of a hungarian countryball terrible bait

[@vanguard6498]

@scp site 18(at hungary) they were draining the oceans and killing our planet and humans in general, fuck the combine fuck em right in the ear

[@norwegianboyee]

It's so "Combine" how there's a bunch of units left in the city, gunning down citizens and taking control of sectors. Despite the fact that the Combine KNOWS that City 17 will be annihilated in a short time span. Just so inhuman....

Never understood why people hated EP 1 so much. Yes it was short compared to HL2 and HL2ep2, but it was pretty awesome experience of literal civil war in city 17.

Think about it city 17 is destroyed and there are probably only a handful of resistance members fighting the gun fire have calmed down so many lives are dead or else no the combine are isolated unites with no one to give orders
