⚠⚠2024 UPDATE: Apparently, the intro song (starting at 0:32 to 1:07) has been copyrighted. I originally found it as part of the game's OST but I guess the original creator of that track has claimed the track. That part has been muted since I don't want someone else to get all the revenue of this one-and-a-half-hour-long video because of a 30 second bit that has their shit in it. Original pinned comment: I did not talk about the game's music in this video as I'm saving that topic for a separate video. I also plan to cover the early development build, the on-going m3sa development build, and some other things in between in separate videos. Thanks for watching!

My solution to gameplay when you get the knife it's stuck in a g nome leand up against a fence with its deformed hands clinging to it illuminated by a trail of bodys and battle scars facing the general direction of it once you remove it the fence is free to open once more the you would find shotgun in the police station at the main door and with a fire axe wiged into the barricades though it is very broken so you remove the debre and get it and explore the tigjt station full of zombies and crazed citizens and reach the sewer at a bit later point where you find a revolver where you shoot down greater threats from a distance to compensate for lack of space to move and the speed and large creatures the rifle would probably be at a mountain section to see the burning city better and to shoot flying creatures or attack drones of the combine or flying xenian life instead of a rocket launcher how about a grenade launcher that can also shoot smoke bombs and little creatures you know as snarks to launch them into tight spaces or multiple numbers to attack more speedy and nimble to pin it down like the combine assassin or just a regular solder.

The reason why Mitchell actually sounds okay at times is because he's played by an actual voice actor, it's just that apparently there wasn't any voice direction given during development.
@breezy57972 жыл бұрын
I try not to shit on the voice actors too much because, I mean, it's not their fault for giving a bad performance or the voice not being filtered or edited correctly. Some of them didn't have proper equipment, others weren't even voice actors, and the ones that were actual voice actors were screwed from the bad writing and lack of direction they were given. I think most of the devs just.. did the best with what they had and what the "director" envisioned. I feel the same about the cutscenes, which is made by a really good animator.

Portal storms were going on for several months before Combine came in, humanity was weakened and Breen instantly made everyone give up, as it would only get worse. It doesnt mean that Combine eradicated human opposition in 7 hours, but it wasnt going good and Breen stepped in to subdue everyone in the UN, using that and Xen infestation from the storms as arguments to force most leaders to surrender, possibly citing that Combine might help with the Portal Storm. Then combine would just weend out few more hold outs that refused to surrender if there were any.

A slower paced HL game like Alyx would work as that's more horror/puzzle based. I can see a game where we play as a black mesa scientist who lives with some of the others hiding from the government when the war starts. Major characters like Eli could make appearances and you help them stay safe whilst the battle is happening. Perhaps the final scene could even be a more tragic ending to the plot where you fight off as many combines as possible giving later characters who appear in hl2 the chance to survive as you fight until you are over come by the shear number of combines. There could even be some dramatic scenes like all the characters watching Dr Breen sigh the surrender of earth on a TV within the game.

I always kind of figured that the combine wouldn't use stuff like head crab canisters in the 7-hour war. Calling it The 7 hour war says that they were so advanced so high above humanity that it wasn't much of a challenge to conquer them. Why would the combine need to use head crabs to whittle down humanity that would just take so long
@borico622 жыл бұрын
I would also add that it's debatable whether they even HAD access to headcrab shells back then. It's possible they first encountered headcrabs after they'd already conquered Earth (which by then had been infested by Xen wildlife after the events of Half-Life 1), and decided to incorporate them to their own arsenal when they saw their potential.

another thing about the 7 hour war - it isn't how long humanity lasted, it's how long it took them to realize they won't last. they keep fighting, and they'll just be effortlessly slaughtered by the combine. the small fraction, the percent that showed up to seize earth is probably considered a small squad compared to the rest of the combine, and they killed humanity so well that 7 hours into the war the governments were already saying "PLEASE! DON'T KILL US! WE'LL STOP FIGHTING, ALRIGHT!"

One thing I feel should be said about the fast zombies is that in HL2 these enemies seemed to be a byproduct of the city being abandoned. It seemed that these zombies are just regular humans left for years without food so the clothes fell apart, the skin fell apart and it's only the headcrab puppetering what's left of flesh and bones, attacking everything on sight to get any food. Encountering this type of enemies during the 7-hour war just doesn't make sense, there's not enough time for zombies to evolve from regulars to fast skinny ones.

I have an idea for Mitchell’s first encounter with Freeman: Remember those dead marines? What they should have done was have them killed off by “Freeman” during Mitchell’s fight with him. They could have had someone come over the radio and be like, “Look out for a man in an orange suit. His name is Gordon Freeman,” then have the marines enter that satellite control room where they would encounter Gordon. Before the fight would play out in a scene, one marine could shout, “There he is! It’s Freeman!” Afterwards, after losing the initial fight with Gordon, Mitchell would not only know who he is, he would have a real reason to despise him.

I'm somebody who is fascinated with vehicles, automobiles, etc. Especially in Half-Life 2 and other Source games. Something that bothers me immensely is the fact they use vehicles from CS:Source, Left 4 Dead, CS:GO. (which are of North American origin) are used in Eastern Europe, and vice versa with Eastern European vehicles from Half-Life 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. being used in parts supposed to be set in America. It just bothers me for some reason, and I wish mods wouldn't make mistakes such as this.

"It just bothers me for some reason, and I wish mods wouldn't make mistakes such as this." As someone who has made maps for Source games: Not everyone can make brand new, original 3D models, especially ones that are decent (or can find region-specific automobiles that have been properly modeled and don't look out of place once rendered in the game's engine) ... much less go through the trouble (especially for amateurs / hobbyists) to convert it into an .mdl file that Source can read, put the 5 or 6 different versions of said model file (i.e. a file that determine the object's physics, if any, etc.) along with the material files and then make sure it actually works in the game and renders correctly .......... when they can just use the already existing, tested and functioning 3D object that's packaged inside HL2. And as for using the vehicles from CSS, L4D2 and CSGO - yes, you can decompile the folders using a not-widely-known program from the web (that only decompiles Source games like this), find the objects you want in its respective folder(s) and then take those files (along with the texture files in a different folder) and move them to the correct folders in the HL2 game files ... but again, most people either don't know how to do that, or just don't care because it's an object in the world and it's not worth the time to go through the above processes just so some ADHD lunatic doesn't complain about the free mod you made in your spare time. ;^) OF COURSE, for a game like Hunt Down The Freeman, it's of course supposed to be more than just "a mod" so is held to much higher standards (but of course, focusing on the types of cars in the game is looking past a lot of other, far more egregious crimes it made against game design), but when it comes to actual homebrew mods, it's basically just as simple as "I'm using the objects that are readily available to me." TL;DR - The reasoning for it really isn't that deep.

I find HTDF inspiring in a sense. Loads of good ideas executed terribly, like the 7 hour war, which is the biggest let-down in my opinion, as they could have easily translated it into gameplay. The streets where a battle ensures, they should have locked off progression untill a certain amount of enemies are killed or a timer counts down to zero, that would add the feeling of desperation into the mix. Or make the player set up defences for an ambush. The Bikers (Big Mitch Bakers gang from Vice City) + Combine section could have been expanded further by cutting the EP2 motorcicle parts shorter and giving Fupface Mithcell info about Freeman's whereabouts via dying combine soldiers (they would estabilish direct radio contact somehow). Regarding the Nova Prospekt part, the most obvious enemy choice would have been the Antlions. After all, the facility got overrun by them. All we need to do, is take the ideas of this game, and better implement it in our own interactive media. I, for one, tried to remake the 7 HW concept presented by HDTF in non-reforged Warcraft 3 with the respective game's characters and factions.

Your attention to level design and mission structure is appreciated, something most videos on the game only gloss over, saying "this mission wasn't designed well", or "this level was confusing", whereas you went into more detail. While you clearly didn't like the game, you still gave praise when there was something in a level you liked. Subbed.

I'm really bummed you didn't play the patched version of this game, it's a completely different experience. The levels are so much better, for what it's worth. There are even spray paints on the wall that say "Where's our money, Berkan?!" which made me laugh pretty hard.

I've just watched video to the end and I'd really like to add one thing about HDTF beeing a part of the half-life legacy It is the great example how NOT to do your half-life-like games. It's just like students in school learn by their mistakes. So, maybe the failure of HDTF was necessary...

Having skying equipment in the snow section would have been so good to make the level go much more smoothly and dodge enemy fire in a satisfying way. Too bad it ended up like it is.
