HECU Invasion - Moments after Resonance Cascade at Black Mesa

HECU were the fail-safe of any huge experiment conducted at Black Mesa Research Facility. They were meant to evacuate and clean up any dangerous repercussions. Part of that team was Adrian Shephard.
After Gordon Freeman schlomped the crystal into the Resonator, and the Resonance Cascade engulfed the entire facility with Xen animals and Nihilanth soldiers, the HECU now had another mission in gun, which was beyond any kind of ethical or moral standpoint.
But after all, they were there to do their job. This #HalfLife 3D #animation was done in #Blender. Music is Storm from HL1:OpFor

It was before the clean up order,i guess.

[@redenginner]

Looking nice,one minor critic though. The HECU is a branch of the US military and should be deploying either the M1 Abrams tank or the M60 Patton tank (if you want to retain that rounded turret look on the tank). It would also add some accuracy as the tanks Valve put in are also based on the Abrams.

[@stormcommando1640]

For some reason they have the Russian T-90 in the vid :)

[@XOFInfantryman]

To be a bit more precise HECU are suppose to be part of USMC MARSOC

Well, if you make the turret aim backwards you could ram through anything, aiming the turret backwards is just so the barrel can’t get damaged.

[@TheExperienceYT]

One little critic here: Your stuff is too dark, I cant see most of whats going on because the characters on their own dont stand out (Maybe Gordon in his big orange suit does), Black Mesa as seen in the games would still have more than plenty lights on. Though, It does capture the feeling of all hell breaking loose.

[@Inlet]

It's darker than usual, but it's also visible if you've got a good monitor. I have a monitor with bad brightness and colors, which makes everything look as if in a deep and lightless cave. That monitor stopped working and is now collecting cobwebs in the basement. The HECU videos were made in mind with less of a bright atmosphere, since there was nothing as such when the accident occurred.

[@Waffleguy6457two]

Aside from freeman the hecu are second most badass hl1 characters

[@Inlet]

Don't want to be the one to start interdimensional wars, but have you seen the headcrabs? Those little buggers can jump higher than a F35 ejection seat. Plus, have you ever tried to fight off a swarm of them? It's like a scene from a horror movie, but with more biting and less screaming.

[@seanocso3315]

I like how the only security guard who was present in the facility died almost immediately after he tried shooting them.

[@Inlet]

Not an easy thing to try to outshoot the military.

[@Pupsikvuba]

As a child, I was simply shocked by the fact that soldiers kill ordinary people, whom, in theory, they are supposed to protect from aliens.

[@Sapphiregamer8605]

They were ordered to silence the facility, and everyone and everything in it.

[@Inlet]

The lines between friend and foe can blur. But fear not, for there's always more to the outcome than meets the eye. The world is a complex place, full of surprises and unexpected turns.
