I really enjoyed this. I like how the tempo increases as time goes on, reflects the Marines's desperation as the battle wore on. There's a moment in Black Mesa that really humanized the Marines for me. You're standing in a tower overlooking a street, where an Abrams tank is firing at a target down the street, when one of the alien flyers comes in and is frying the whole street. You can hear the commander screaming over the radio "Incoming! Enemy aircraft! Fall back! Fall back! BACK THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW--!" The Abrams tries to pull back, but is too slow and goes up in flames. Just something I always found compelling.

Information is power and having no intel on what the enemy is, where they are coming from(good luck with that since they teleport in from anywhere) makes the technological advantage redundant.The nihilanth being able to copy-paste alien grunts and also throw alien wildlife at earth, whereas humans have to train for years to become good soldiers means that quantity would beat quality in the long run during the invasion, and then come the combine which have both quality and quantity on their side anyway.

Then it get's to the point where they're back outside in the war zone with grunts shooting down dozens of HECUs, the Gargantuas picking and choosing which soldiers to incinerate like a kid in a candy store as the soldiers attempt to shoot down the beast with no effect, and giant manta rays shooting lasers at them from the sky. And by the end there are only two or three left running to the evac zone to escape, but get their shuttle shot down by a manta ray and crash right back into black mesa to be killed by grunts. Also one is killed by those little beaked bugs because he angered the nest but I can't remember the name of those things.

@Writter Gamer yesssssssssssss

[@ulric8445]

This song in its entirety has helped me with writing ideas for my own worldbuilding, specifically parts where action is at its fullest and it's somehow still escalating to either uncontrollable measures or outcomes that tip the balance in who wins and loses. One of those writing ideas being this: It takes place in the far future on a fictional planet named Vorge, the planet is currently being invaded by the Nova Prospecting Coalition: an amalgamation of factions, companies and corporations all brought under one ruling government. Reasons for the invasion is former trade agreements went stale due to the coalition wanting more for less. As the war rages on for more than 3 years now the coalition is in a state of struggle as their advances are slowly grinding to a full on halt as they have underestimated the stratagems, effectiveness, and technological prowess of the Vorgian Military. In response to this a major offensive has been enacted to punch through a key position of the frontlines, armor spearheading the attack, air making their presence a notorious one via extensive bombing runs, air supremacy, gunships, starships within atmosphere and so on. In the midst of this major operation lies a division sent in to reinforce the frontlines. This Vorgian division is a special one as within their ranks are their super soldiers titled "Goliath" units. 8-9ft tall, impeccable strength, agility, durability, intelligence, all combined with their wide variety of firearms and their TX-44 soft exoskeleton supported armor suits. The land before them has been turned into a hellscape with craters, corpses, burning hulks and craters galore, the enemy is sending everything including the kitchen sink, air battles rage above with an attacker or two slipping through to pepper either side's forces with depleted uranium and laser guided munitions. Ahead of the main frontlines some kilometers away is a FOB getting battered and bruised by enemy artillery and armor, the garrison stationed there is tasked with pinpointing long range artillery via laser targeting. However the Coalition managed to break past the flanks and has begun encircling the position, the FOB's armor soon enough gets destroyed by CAS and combat effectiveness is reaching below 50%. In response to this a group of 12 goliaths accompanied by 4 Next gen Abrams X tanks equipped with multiple coax .50cals and a mk19 MGL, micro-missile and laser APS, and anti-drone countermeasures is ordered to retrieve the survivors before they're all wiped out. Turbines whine as 60+ tons of rolling thunder break from their hull down positions and race across no mans land with the towering superhumans sprinting just ahead of them, almost immediately the opposition takes note of the breakaway and begins zeroing in with oncoming fire and artillery. A pack of next gen K2 Black Panthers meanwhile resides upon the northern side of the conflict tasked with pummeling any pockets of resistance in the FOB, the lead tank notices the oncoming rescue and orders for an immediate barrage salvo, the turrets hastily swivel around and swap shells to SABOT; a dart with the highest velocity is more than enough to knock out heavy armor. Within seconds both sides are exchanging fire, dust and smoke clouds being kicked up from the quaking surface, each and every time the shots were intercepted about a hundred or so meters before making contact. Loaders and drivers pushing themselves as they gritted their teeth and tuned almost everything out to focus. All the while the 8-9ft tall humanoid monsters ran like as if it was an early morning jog whilst keeping up supporting fire, mags of 20mm being swapped out as soon as the current one ran dry, sure they were big targets yet it took more than just small arms fire and rifles to punch through the plating. Reaching near halfway through no mans land. The group soon enough was digging right through the encirclement, trudging and slugging through the assorted ranks of opposing infantry and mechanized, made it more difficult for oncoming fire to take a proper shot without causing a probable case of collateral damage. The artillery in this point ceased fire due to the same reason and command was starting to panic from the unfolding series of events. All focus was to be prioritized on taking out the FOB before rescue arrived, no prisoners were to be taken. At the same time units providing long range support began to move in to reinforce the containment. In the midst of gunfire one of the Abrams veered off course and lodged itself in a trench wide ditch, a singular shot made it through the protection system and knocked out one of the treads. The Goliath squad running alongside it immediately took action and stayed back whilst the rest continued without a second thought, primary directive can't be ignored especially with how close they were getting. At this rate however the opposition was breaking down the walls and pouring in from all sides, only combatants remaining were swiftly being pushed back to the bunkers; their last defending positions, as if that wasn't the only thing. Ground attack aircraft had broken through the clouds, only one yet it had plenty of ordinance to complete the job. The fast mover strafed the rescue team and launched ATGM's at the tanks, APS almost instantly eyeing it down with their lasers, causing the warheads to combust and burst out in a spray of shrapnel and smoke midflight. The craft then prepared for another round only to deliberately overshoot and make a run for the FOB, (2:41) two bombs dropped and impacted within seconds, the wave of the explosions shook both the ground, and the hearts n minds of the proposed saviors. Now or never, we can't let this be all for naught as all focus was put on their speed, the engines whined and roared as the speedometers read 55.... 65..... 75..... 85kmh, didn't matter if it was a thorough kick to the suspension as the "ironclad knights" blasted their way through the inner circle. Machineguns, grenade launchers, main guns, anything and everything. They burst through the walls and situated themselves around what remained of the bunker complex. The Goliaths dismounted and helped in securing the perimeter whilst a selected duo ran in to check for wounded. Majority of the attack had now broken formation just to permanently exterminate this singular position which alleviated stress on the main lines, a rocket barrage swiftly responded to the compacted force, taking out excessive numbers including heavy armor. The mess continued on for another 2 hours before the Coalition ordered a hasty retreat, in the end only 35% of the FOB's personnel was saved. Yet even so the choice led to an opening that was exploited for much larger benefits. (TL:DR I had an idea about super soldier ladies and tanks saving some military dudes stuck in a FOB and they won yay :DDD)

Это один из самых эпичных ремиксов который я слушал, автор молодец

[@arandomperson8646]

I'd love to see more stuff from the perspective of the HECU during the invasion, my idea would be that It'd start a lot like OPFOR. you land at black mesa, and you're told by your squad leader to eliminate local security forces, being told that they're "terrorists" you of course comply thinking that this is all completely fine, you're then told to deal with some weird alien threat, getting occasional updates about the situation all around, for example, "be advised, we've cleared sector 4-c of threats, over" but as the game goes on, you get more and more reports coming in, saying things like "we've got some high level threat in the area, target designation: Freeman, move to eliminate" at which point, you start moving, but as you make your way through more aliens, you hear more disturbing chat on the radio "we need support at (gunshots) sector 8-f, I repeat, we need (gunshots)" then "sir, we need heavy arty on location-" "we need heavy armor support, right now, over!" before you can catch up to freeman however, you hear the last radio transmission "we are pulling out etc." then the last part of the game is the character going through an increasingly hostile environment before you get seriously wounded by a massive monster (see the fanart above) as you try to crawl away, you see a detonator for a large stockpile of explosives, meant for sealing off an area, your character then drags themselves over to the detonator to blow the charges, sacrificing yourself to stop it.

[@panzercrewman616]

But who is the character? A regular HECU grunt? A HECU medic? A HECU squad leader? All change the story in different ways. Perspective changes the story

Man, this theme basically encompasses the beginning of the end, when Black Mesa (or HL1 if you prefer it that way) is starting to wind down. You've made it through most of the game, the HECU are starting to realize they've bitten off more than they can chew, and you're at the home stretch to the Lambda Core to put an end to this madness.

"Should be easier than most of what my men have fought, sure as hell better than waiting for those reds to come 'round." "This order comes straight from the top, got it? Even sent in some spook, some government lackey suit-and-tie with a briefcase. Was real nice and specific about it too, 'Eliminate Gordon Freeman'." "Poor bastard won't see it coming, hafta wonder what this prick must've done to get on the suit's bad side huh?" "Well, this is still standard procedure aside from this VIP SOB.

[@ultimatejim4343]

@@TuesdaySFD Now i imagine a final segment similar to the ending of Titanfall 2 in dishonored where main character (tm) has to escape alternate reality where enemies are hunting him down and he has to fight all of them or avoid them. This segment would start with the character falling into the void and a rift opens up in front of character. It's a jetpack from years yet to come, which allows him to double jump and wallrun. Reluctantly, he puts it on and gets out of there. 0:00: Main character finds jetpack 0:50 main character starts running. 1:20 Main character finds enemies and starts killing. 1:42 mana starts to become unlimited and all abilities amplified by 2. 2:07 more enemies come and ammo starts becoming unlimited, which allows for repeat death even more so. 2:21 character starts sliding down a massive slope, fighting enemies along the way with his crossbow, sword, abilities and gun. 2:53 Augments start happening to his sword, making it much more powerful. You now cannot use stealth. 3:19 enemies start becoming way more skillful and more enemies are coming. 3:32 Everything now 1-hit kills. You die in 5 hits, though. Player learns all abilities and there are usually 25 enemies per area. 3:42 He sees the exit, and starts making a mad dash for it. The world is crumbling around him, and he is being hunted by everyone here. 4:00 he reaches the exit, but has to fight 40 enemies, but all are 1 hit kills. The player still has unlimited ammo, 1-hit sword, and unlimited/buffed abilities. He now dies in only 3 hits. 4:10 He jumps through the tear and is safe. His jetpack is gone and his mana is drained. His powers are somewhat limited, so now he only can store half the mana he used to. He does have a small thing that looks like a bread crumb. he holds it up closer to the sun. It's shiny, and dissolves in his hands. He feels better now. * MANA AND HEALTH OVERHEAL UNLOCKED *
