I loved this battle. Actually turnign around and facing the Combine who've been chasing me all this time was a great feeling, and it was great to finally get some friends.
@KoronofHearts yo i agree with you i think that this was the best part of the whole game i was just on that part to now im on the part were u had to kill the king/Quee antlion.
At this point, I just stood in front of the drop ships and shot the combine as they stepped out. There was a pile of dead combines when I finished. :D
Damn I love this song! You can understand why it finds it way into every HL game and really fits this section so well. I've convinced quite a few people to buy the game based on me playing this section for them.
Last time I played through HL2, I just sprinted to the lighthouse immediately and used the RPGs to pick off the soldiers as they spawned. It was hilarious. I don't think any Rebels died.
how come when i finish the fight the dude in the lighthouse says to folow him but he hest stands there i KNOW he is supposed to go into the basement but he just stands there like an idiot
Hah, I know exactly what you mean. I'm a compulsive restarter in games like this, often for the most arbitrary reasons. If the battle *didn't flow right* I often restart.
If you didn't mention the difference between the squad A.I. and in the later chapters, I would probably never have noticed it. I agree with you, the squad A.I. here is definitely far superior than the A.I. of the squad in the later chapters which adds to your burden instead of gaining you advantage, how I wish Valve sticked to this! By the way, can I know how did you disable the autosave feature? It's taking so long for me that it's annoying me... And nice video, I like your playing style. =)
It's a switch when people actually read the description. :D
About the autosave, I didn't disable it, (it works fine for me) but I know it's possible to do that. Google "disable autosave half-life 2" and click the first result for instructions how to do it.
That's gotta be so creepy y'know? Just discussing your strategy when you hear the eeire 'aaaaaaaaaa' of a Dropship's thrusters on the horizon? That's how boos the Dropships are... You don't know where they can be coming from. It's not until you hear that 'aaaaaaaa' you say ".. Uh-oh. Trouble!"
Dropships are my favorite Combine synth. They're thrusters sound really awsome, way different from traditional videogame dropships. And I also like that *woop woop!* they make when they're making a drop-off! Dropships rock!

there's a easy mode!?!? lawlz I never play a game on easy I always play on normal then then next higher one. You destroyed it in three shots, they weren't consecutive, but you took it down with three, you shot it off and ducked down then expected it to find the target by itself.

ha fucking glitch, i only looked this up because after I blew up that ship (IN THREE SHOTS, I DIDNT FIRE OFF LIKE 9 ROCKETS THAT NEVER HIT THE SHIP) Nothing happened, absolutly nothing happened, that dude never came up to me and never lead me down to open the door, the guy's just standing there by a house, when i go up to him he just gives me some health. The guy in the video plays like a douche anyway, I never tried to be all professional.
Half Life 2 ranks as my number one game of ALL TIME. You are completely right, that this was a memorable battle. Anyone have an idea of where City 17 is and all this is taking place? I thought it might be in the Ukraine but there are no such beaches like in Sandtraps in the Ukraine. I also thought it might be in Bulgaria but again, it doesnt explain the Russian on some buildings. I did notice about the Cafe Baltic however but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with location.
I think it'd be cool to be able to order the squad to behave in different ways in the last few chapters, for example you could say "Freelance" and they'd act like they do here, rather than getting all clingy and annoying.
Absolutely yes. If a game, even an FPS, is going to stick you with commanding AI, it should at least give you options. Operation Flashpoint scores well in that way; in OFP, there are all sorts of commands governing the attitude of your squad, so you could, for example, order your squad to stay down, watch that house over there and don't fire until you say so. It's possible to engineer a proper ambush.
Ordering individual units would be good, too. Or just telling them to GO AWAY sometimes! I just replayed through that fight against two guships at the end of Sandtraps, in the entrance to Nova Prospekt, and I died countless times because the antlions were blocking my path to cover. -_- Still, there's always Episode 3!
Flank the dropships, run up beside them and stand there. When the combine soldiers jump out, you can kill them all up close, one by one. Easiest thing ever.
At the start of this song, I was in cover, and right when the song got to the good part I jumped of my cover and assaulted the combine. Good song, Good game.
Yeah, this is way better than having them all cluster around. They actually use cover here, later in the game they just run around behind you or stand in the open.

It's "Nuclear Mission Jam" by Kelly Bailey, from the first game's soundtrack.
It was retitled "Something Secret Steers Us" on the Half-Life 2 Soundtrack, but it wasn't altered.
