Sheath Entertainment™ yeah I’ve been watching some other KZbinrs with half life videos and some of them call the H.E.C.U. Marines Army boys and it makes me cringe.

[@SheathEntertainment]

Adrian Shephard well I guess that’s the feeling that happens, especially if one was in the Corps or in my case, is part of a huge military family.

[@alterrapda9057]

Don’t forget about the conscripts from the HL2 beta.

I feel sorry for the guy, all his friends died at Black Mesa, he couldn’t save them and suddenly he is zapped to City 17! Talk about being dropped into the middle of a conversation with no clue as to the topic.

[@locho41]

He also has no guidelines on what to do, he never did.

[@thirstyserpent1079]

@@locho41 He had some very vague stuff, he hears his squad lead yell something about find freeman as the guy gets tossed out of the osprey, then later when he actually links up with the HECU as they withdraw during what would be surface tension he meets an officer who ask him about if he found freeman and then says well forget it were withdrawing but never actually clarifies. So at no point is he actually told who freeman was or why they were actually sent for him just that he finds out they were searching for someone named freeman, He doesn't even get the first name Gordon from what I recall?

2:05 Shepard had that face of "hey! That's my line!" Or "watch your language..."

[@DeviantPicturess]

Loved the cinematography and in-shot choreography. Quality is also good and compared to your previous submission it's a huge step forward. There are few flaws and most of them are in the fighting scene. For example all shots were filmed with tight FoV, which made it hard for me as a viewer to analyze and see what was happening and where, a few wide shots and shots with enemies and grunts in the same scene could've helped it a lot. The other thing is the firefight itself, the amount of missed shots to amount of succesful hits felt scripted and underdone. Overall it's a good HL film and we difinately need more of these!

[@SheathEntertainment]

+Deviant Pictures Films Thanks! Yeah no film is without their flaws, I had run into many development issues over the last three months working under time constraints. My limited hardware meant that I was working under 3-5 frames per second in playback so the animation was botched in some instances in my opinion. So I kept the shots tight when working with pose-to-pose since I don't have the funds for mocap. As far as Storm Trooper Aim, well lets just say its not as exciting had they just killed the thing there, but thanks for the feedback! :)

[@DeviantPicturess]

+Sheath Entertainment™ not saying they should be super accurate, I find it odd that they've killed a foe only when Shepard got in trouble.

[@Hit_by_a_Parked_Car]

There's the thing about the apparent lack of recoil, too. Don't forget about that, it's strange to watch guns fire full auto while only moving like 2 centimeters.

In hl2 Gordon is in Europe. What happened to the US? Isn't there more citadels? Opposing force 2 could answer this. And it could take place in the US. Maybe at the end of the game. He travels to the arctic regions. And meets up with Gordon in HL3. Heck, valve could even make a coop multiplayer

[@theblackbull55]

To those who wonder if Adrian Shephard will return in Half life 3/Episode 3: He kind of have to, that's a part of the story that has been left unresolved and let's face it, if half life 3 ever gets made, that would definitely be the very last game valve ever makes so that they can focus completely on selling other people's games. They would have to tie up all loose ends so that they could shut up all the fans too.

[@thedragonknightlord2732]

"definitely be the very last game valve ever makes" It's fun reading this 3 years later. because of the way Half-Life Alyx ended, We can only assume another game will follow in its path. will this new game come out soon? probably not, but it will still be lots of fun! I do hope Adrian makes a return, I love that guy a lot.

I always wondered why Black Mesa has (seemingly) endless pits around the facility. If they didn't have them, and put something in the spaces (like ground idk), maybe their squad leader wouldn't have fell into his demise.

Black Mesa was built on an already existing decommissioned ICBM launch facility from the 1950s. Those pits likely contained nuclear weapons and radioactive weapon storage before being converted into the Black Mesa labs.
