[@lordsaveme643]

What i like about the chatter, is that before you go to the lab, you can hear that the 647-E code (was loitering from place to place) is repeatedly being called in, which refers to Gordon trying to get his way to the lab by going through buildings and other areas. You can also hear calls in of a miscount, which confirms that Gordon wasn’t marked down, and they’re catching onto him. I love the amount of detail in this game.

So from the moment Gordon steps off the train, its just a matter of moments before he's recognized by the system. One of those camera bots flies up and snaps a picture of him and a couple others. Metro cops in that first area don't react since he's just like any other citizen until he's stopped before the Nova Prospekt checkpoint. From then on they get miscount readings of citizens (Gordon isn't a listed citizen so they notice they have an extra person in their zone unchecked) and surveillance systems noticing Gordon wandering around so they get 647e codes constantly. Combine have eyes everywhere at all times.

[@teravolt6113]

That is, until Gordon blows the Citadel's power core up. Then everything goes belly up and the same Combine cops that were once tasked with keeping the 1984-ish setup alive and fuctional are now fleeing like cowards.

[@radioactiverat8751]

@@teravolt6113 Keep in mind, those "cowards" aren't trained in any sense with military doctrines. They're literally just cops that are mostly volunteers from the public. The actual brainwashed types are the ones you see sporting assault rifles and shotguns. Its a thousand times easier to maintain a population with an authoritarian police force compared to fighting them guerrilla warfare style in cities and in the wilderness. I point to the vietnam war for examples of how easy it would be to pile the casualties up for the combine. Anyways, my point is they're regular people. Threatened with severe punishments for not doing their jobs regardless if they want to or not.

[@teravolt6113]

@@radioactiverat8751 Just wanted to point out how they go from the intimidating paramilitary organization they act like at the start of HL2, to a bunch of coward idiots that do nothing else but choose to shoot Gordon and their fellow citizens (they're non-brainwashed volunteers, after all) in order to get on the train first, instead of seeking some kind of ultimate forgiveness for their wrongdoings by trying to be of any help to them at the last minute (engaging their own brainwashed fellows, for example). How there's no longer any purpose for them and all their intimidating behaviour once Combine loses control over City 17 for good, and hence they're a thing of the past by the start of EP3. This game is definitely really deep.

"You want a malcompliane verdict?" is now my favourite sentence.

[@whiteelephant3673]

Sooo, they actually applied code for "drunk" to Anticitizen Number 1 running away on an airboat?) I may understand "reckless driving", but this? He just killed about a hundred of CP's, rather difficult accomplishment for a drunk person)

[@sceerane8662]

Perhaps "Drunk" is being used as a term for general reckless conduct in a vehicle? It sorta makes sense considering their other replacements for words (Like them calling bullets "Verdicts")

[@whiteelephant3673]

Yeah, it probably is) Curiously, it seems there is still drunk driving happening under a Combine rule)

when they say "recalibrate socioscan" thats pretty creepy because even the metrocops which are the lowest tier in the combine have technology to basically read peoples feelings and wether they are against you or not with only really just a command being said

17:10 made me think a bit when I encountered this voice line when I was playing, even after the people who got their mind wiped to get a higher rank still shout profanities or act in less professional manners when in pressure.

[@StinkySkunk100]

I've been watching your Half-Life 2 chatter and ambiance stuff (or I guess more accurately listening to it) and I just love it. I really appreciate the game much more now. There is so much going on and the radio chatter is so difficult to understand that I never heard most of this stuff and it adds so much to the game! Thanks for the videos.

Oh I’m DEFINITELY gonna play this in my car. Whoever sits in it will recognize I’m driving a alien police car alike.

It’s fascinating the lengths they went to get all these codes correct! And I think they added a few funny ones in too.

I think it's a combination (heh) of the sound effects and the medical/police jargon used. If I had the creativity and enough enthusiasm to create a longer ambient radio track I would make it. L

I can imagine the chatter not being as complex as this game's civil protection chatter. I mean,if I remember correctly there was like, a humerous conversation between 2 combine somewhere in the game's beta audio files. I dont know about that though.

I really like that radio sound at the beginning and end of whatever they're saying

[@teravolt6113]

The one after the Overwatch Voice stops speaking sounds like a selcall/5-tone (a sequence of tones that lets you identify radios/"ring" them like phones/turn them off if stolen), while the other ones sound like call tones/idle channel tones (these are how they're called in my radio's codeplug software). Agree, they're really nice and sound like real police radios
