Half-Life: Alyx - Civil Protection

Although only making a brief appearance, I still think Civil Protection is more threatening than the soldiers, perhaps due to being 100% human still.
Apologies for the snap rotation, forgot to turn it off.

[@scowler7200]

They could've survived if they tucked their legs in or simply ditched and called another van. It looks like CPs weren't allowed to use firearms at this point.

[@MaximG.]

It's still so surreal to see something from Half-Life 2 officially remade in such level of detail, but with design almost unchanged.

[@Gravity_studioss]

Tbh Im really surprised about the fact how "free" the citizens in this scene are potrayed as. They dont have matching clothes and can even use bikes. Feels weird and not fitting compared to HL2

[@InternetCrusader]

@@Gravity_studiossWell to be fair Half Life Alyx takes place before Half life 2, so the Combine haven't fully cracked down on individuality at that point in time. Same can be said as to why the Combine soldiers are much more human then their future counterparts.

[@jaski4022]

After all of those "remastered" versions of Half-Life 2 made by the weird part of the community, who disrespect what Valve want with the original game (i'm looking at you, cinematic shit), this is just great.

[@physical_insanity]

Man, it's so weird seeing CP's move so smoothly and in such high fidelity too. These guys feel so much more threatening than the soldiers, maybe because they're more diehard serious at their job.

[@Kream_Komi]

Old comment but shh. Even tho they might appear as more threatening than the soldiers, Combine Soldiers are almost total machines. No emotions, if they need to shoot you for, idk, staring at them, they'll do it. If I was in the HL universe, I would totally prefer to get beaten up by CP's rather than having trouble with an Ordinal, a Grunt, or a standard Combine Soldier. (Btw I like your pic :3)

[@physical_insanity]

@@Kream_Komi Yeah, you right, I was largely just speaking from the impression they give off in gameplay. We experience the combine infantry more frequently, so they eventually become less of a threat, meanwhile we don't see much action from the CP's, so they're going to be intimidating still. >Btw I like your pic Me too.

[@Kream_Komi]

@@physical_insanity Yeh they really look intimidating. Just like in the beginning of HL2 with the raid on the apartment. Seeing them for the first time it's actually kinda scary, you can't even get close to them, they really gave them a nice terror vibe in the start.

[@jaski4022]

I want to see an interaction between a MetroCop and a Soldier, specially the Grunts, since the last ones are really human in personality terms.

That "teleporting to move" thing is nauseating as all hell.

[@JustAHat]

I dont think you've tried vr, because its the exact opposite, smooth movement causes motion sickness because theres a disconnect between what your eyes see and the mechanical ways your body is able to tell you're moving, because of that disconnect your body basically gets confused and you feel sick

[@RescoeZ]

I mainly use blink (teleport) because continuous movement on VR gives me motion sickness.

[@makak_zeleny]

@TheUltimateGamer245 to most people* I can do both, but teleportation is definitely more comfortable...

[@michaelk284]

You would think but my first time playing HL Alyx (Vr in general), you get nauseous. I didn't think it would happen to me as I don't really get "motion sickness" but apparently it happens. And my first time, I got nauseous as hell, didn't puke or anything, just felt gross like when you go without eating and get that nauseous empty stomach feeling. After waiting for a bit, drinking some water, and sitting under a fan I was able to get back into it again. Haven't got it again since despite using continuous on everything. To help I also keep a fan on because I think I was also overheating.

[@beef9785]

i'll say something that isnt 100% related to this video but i notice how the citizens use casual clothes,they even walks in cycles sometimes in half life alyx and then in hl2 everyone has blu/yellow clothes no cycles,i mean i know about they couldnt do alot of things in hl2 but what if this is made by purpose?

@@seifelshenawi6211 That would make sense. Another theory (my personal theory) is that by taking away their freedom of expression via forcing them to all wear the same clothes, they broke humanity's spirits even more, which makes them less likely to resist.
