Escape From City 17 - Part One

[Xxlux]

There is no way they made this so epic while being on a $500 budget.. and the fact they are from Balkan xD

[seminoleboy96]

thank god for shitty combine aim

[MrJunk0]

This will be actual grafic when HL3 comes

[Isaaxz123]

Not bad...........

[nilloc93]

.... did anyone notice this is edited? there used to be a radio conversation between the guy with a pistol and an offscreen rebel

[UKwildcatTV]

There's no way in hell you can convince me that you did this without a crew on a $500 budget.

[Stevaneify]

Moj brat misli da se to stvarno desava i uplasi se!

[fromsovietrussia1]

uhhhh this video is not accuret City 17 is one of the citys in the Balkan penunsela (Bulgaria or Serbia) the artis that made City 17 is bulgarian so probably City 17 is one of the bulgarian citys

[AMFDevelopment]

Awesome, awesome movie guys :)

[flyboy685]

I'm writing a script for a half life 2 movie i'm gonna make when I'm old enough to travel to places.

XD

[Mkilbride2599]

@flyboy685 Valve won't letcha. At least not in theaters. They said no one but them will make a HL movie. :P

[TheVraccy]

Cool

[hevyweps321]

how do you do the parts with gun ships and striders, cool effects

[Lucios1995]

Didn't this have like 3 million views?

[McMcwalker]

im just stunned...

[Skript933]

0:41 Wtf it's Riga i live there

[TheKrishux]

@Skript933 mazliet šoks ne? :D

[riilhiiro]

@TheKrishux un ravenholm nebija jelgava?

[sunslap]

@Skript933 yeah just found the spot on google maps, you can see the train station and the bridges and everything. good call mate.

[fromsovietrussia1]

@Skript933 epic fail City 17 is made by a bulgarian artist and used some buildings from bulgarian and serbian buildings so City 17 is bulgarian or serbian

[roboballs112]

@fromsovietrussia1 no it isn't epic fail it rly is Riga in Latvia 

[AGrayPhantom]

Why haven't I heard of this sooner?!

[PerroDeHierro1994]

would like to see Halloween costume could get those cops

[salza13]

when there will be a half life movie i would watch it

[ZiaBlackMesaBoy]

WTF They shortened the Vid Why Why Why they cut so much of it out I still have the Original vid so i know

[66kcmiller]

I would sooo donate if you made a movie, also you should do a behind the scenes for these, I would be very interested.

[THEtoothPICK999]

Beeeeeeeeep *Radio static* = The sound of victory

[gamer4life18]

You guys should have an account on kickstarter I would donate to see some kind of movie or show made out of these :)

[11ateneo11]

2:39 CROWBAR MADNESS!

[Darguello2]

Part threee.

[BlueAndGrayMC]

57 people were combines

[shhhrui]

Epic! :D

[parkerw1997]

Awesome :D

[NUCLEARTURTLEFU]

bro you done great with just the 500$ budget

[ludviglolo]

Wake up mr free man wake up and smell the ashes

[123raymanfan]

May sound noobish but what is guerilla style filming?

[beatboxer688]

@123raymanfan yeah it was :)

[GeassGuy]

@123raymanfan I think it kinda means a little unorthodox. As in they didn't follow traditional filming techniques or whatever. Just a guess though :)

[batomakatur]

this is too real :D

[GeassGuy]

You guys did with $500 what Michael Bay couldn't do with hundreds of millions of dollars. Your an inspiration.

[GLaDOSV6]

@GeassGuy Make a movie I'd willingly watch?

[MrThtguyoverthere]

@GeassGuy It's *you're

[GeassGuy]

@MrThtguyoverthere Don't correct me on grammar until you can put a full stop at the end of 'your' sentence. Haha idiot.

[MrThtguyoverthere]

@GeassGuy Haha! You're right! I'm sorry! I'll change from now on. :)

[goodrita]

@GeassGuy It's probably because Micheal Bay and many other Hollywood film makers don't know what the people want because they just sit in their penthouses screwing hookers all day.

[Timestopper117]

@GeassGuy What exactly did Micheal Bay fail at doing???

[GeassGuy]

@Timestopper117 It's pointless me telling you if you haven't already noticed.

[YourMomBakesPies]

You guys need a Kickstarter to make a full movie! :D

[SadisticOne1]

theres something about independently made movies that make them more real than hollywood films.

[Exzmo]

Else it's perfect, but the combines should work on their deaths. :p

[FINALROUTE666]

wtf it reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 4 Game

[Agugalame]

reminds me of idiot box

[JewTube001]

BEEEP Beeeeeeeeeeeep....

[KasixMarhiil]

Damn... It is kind of scary, cause i... Live in Riga... City 17... Shit, this is just too much...

[MajicPictures]

Why did this go from essentially 4 million views to 480,000?

[Zappyguy111]

Why does this video not have millions of views?!?!?

[IamDayoldHate1]

very awesome. Though I'm curious why the combine military hasn't been deployed, Civil Protection are still mostly human and were very reluctant to continue to fight. The Overwatch were the main combatants during the uprising.

[RME47]

57 Combine dislike this video xD

[gatethrow]

Wow. You guys did a fantastic job! You managed to take the spirit, or the feel, of the Half-Life 2 universe and compose a new narrative that fits right in and is just as entertaining as the original.

Please do DOOM. or QUAKE. Please.

Also, I think it would be cool if you and the people at Wayside Creations partnered up to produce a film or miniseries. Like DOOM. Or QUAKE.

[ToWYoMama]

Not bad, now to go check out part 2

[saintconnnor]

just when i thought i was out,

THEY PULL ME BACK IN

[MrBombastic39]

press 8 to play half life



[CryDayLV]

you americans are dumb latvia isnt a part of russia it is a fucking country! and people talk there in latvian language just there are 50% russians in latvia and thats why u can hear that much russian language stupid dubasses

[CadaverJunky8]

@CryDayLV You sound mad. You mad, Latvia? Shhhh, shhh. It's okay, baby.

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@CryDayLV I agree. U.S. people are somewhat illiterate when it comes down to Geographic approach... Not to mention illiterate when it comes down to languages other than English... :}

[DoctaMeff]

@c1k4ml3kc3 You can thank our education system.

[Areallykelwguy]

If this can be made for $500

Imagine what can be done with a Million for a Half Life Movie

[christianabiera]

When all else fails, crowbar the fucker.

[GhostRecon3211]

best game ever

Half Life 2 :D

[jasperwasd1590]

@GhostRecon3211 also minecraft

[GhostRecon3211]

@jasperwasd1590 i don't know that game sorry... :P

[jasperwasd1590]

@GhostRecon3211 look it up its blocky but really cool

[MrBagas2001]

this were i like, the real one

[easter202]

Like if you saw the Horse statue at 1:19

[pokemonfan1ify]

HALF LIFE SONG :D

[flonga1]

Why would you remove the original you had here? It had so many views, showed how much people care about the film.

[FallacyD]

The Amount of effort put into this is astonishing. Gawd dam!

[juanmarcos2000]

atention: this film contains gman =D

[meNtor890]

why include the evil eye of sauron??

[Sufdavanwat]

It is very simple: someone needs to organize a system where people that want to see a Half-Life movie be made can donate. Everyone is registered. Once the film is made the revenue of that movie is shared again among those that have contributed. Result: a good movie is made and you get money back from the investment (which you can invest in the sequel). Wouldn't that be cool? If you like the idea: Thumbs Up!

[Reubenofthedead]

@Sufdavanwat Do you know what a Ponzi scheme is?

[Sufdavanwat]

@Reubenofthedead Errr... No I don't

[pjy3k]

@Sufdavanwat A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns with little or no risk. In many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters focus on attracting new money

[1x93cm]

@Sufdavanwat you- should start a business with this as its model and revolutionize the way movies are made and put an end to the over priced crap coming out of hollywood

[UnknownThomasFan30]

@Sufdavanwat Very interesting. Id think itd be smart.

[apachedrifter]

@Sufdavanwat not only would they be registered, but their donation as well. the earnings of the movie would be compared to production cost, and everyone would have their donation multiplied by the profit % as their share. if everyone knew that up front, they'd be more inclined to be a bit more "giving" i guess the word would be. if production was under budget, theyd get a return of that % as well according to their donation. i think you have a smashing idea

[jacqcarlos]

@Sufdavanwat i would think kickstarter might work for a project like this.

[flonga1]

@Sufdavanwat

It won't ever happen, that system won't work. I just want a place to donate.

[Parachuteification]

@Sufdavanwat Then purchase would make very little money after giving back donations, they dont make much either way.

[neonom1024]

@Sufdavanwat kickstarter!

[Modukon92]

Subscribed... ^^

[900duncans]

Where did you get those gun replica's?

[misterrandompancake]

@900duncans the half life 2 guns were based on real weapons..

[taylorgoff235]

500 dollars? shit man... shit... and this is this good, too...

[GhostSoldierful]

To say that this is awesome, is to say nothing.

[tomgarden]

this is epic

[omgwtfqqstyle]

Escape From Rīga. WTF ? o.O

[TheWizwix]

I have a question, could anyone send me a link of Civil Protection Costumes/Armor which i can buy?

[TehOrkyMan]

0:45 Look, it's Glasgow!

[shakedownjenna]

CROWBAR IN THE FACE YEAH!! lol

[Daawiss]

OMG! The city is Riga! :D

[rungameid]

f*ck this video!

[TheGreekGodAres]

NICE AIMBOT AT 3:05

[Pumping4life1]

Это рига ебланы аxaxaxa

[rungameid]

FAIL! This is not the city 17, this citty is called Riga in Latvia, I'm live there!

[mrGlitch2000]

@rungameid

Well ofcourse.

[LovePills1992]

so. why does it has so "MANY" views?!

[MegaDeathwarrant]

i dont get why you would surrender while you know they'll kill you

[arda5841]

@MegaDeathwarrant “Rational people will go quietly and meekly into gas chambers if only you allow them to believe they’re bathrooms.” -Zygmund Baumann

[megansvengeance]

Seriously, Hollywood, you need to start doing video game movies instead of remaking old shitty movies.

[arda5841]

@megansvengeance Hollywood makes shitty movies because they don't give a shit about the movies they make. They give a shit about the money. If Hollywood made a movie out of halflife, more likely than not it would be shit. Purchase Brothers do a better job with $250 than hollywood can with $250 000. This video is a testament to the fact that with enough community support, there just isn't a need for Hollywood anymore. Embrace the digital age people.

[redcatthekiller]

i want the combine suit lol :P

[iluvdrakeandjosh]

@USMCpatriot1000 philip defranco just gives out the news everyday in a fun way. You should check out his show. Channel is sxephil.

[green929392]

why would you cut out the radio part...

[plastic14407]

You sure hear That loud Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee- noise alot from the combine

[baranelitez]

52 people are bitten by a headcrab

[baranelitez]

i hate that cheesy camera shake effect in the new age videos and viral advertisements.

[GamesForLifes999]

Freaaking cool for only that money :D

[Ceremonsen]

Cool!

Is there a better quality version out there?

[mes0gots0its]

@Ceremonsen There used to be, but apparently they replaced it with a lower quality version.

[Ceremonsen]

@mes0gots0its

It's sad.

Thanks for the reply!

[AntDX316]

what program was used to make this?

[TheNeweN24]

I hate when the top rated comment is a reply

[Ghost3141265]

@TheNeweN24 Then you feel obligated to go back and find the comment it was a response to -_-

[TheNeweN24]

@Ghost3141265 no but i dont get what they wanna say with it

[Neil3600]

@TheNeweN24 IM SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheShadowman60]

@TheNeweN24 I know.

[SuperMarioJedi]

I wish I had a disposable income to make badass fan-films that won't make me any profit whatsoever.

[Lyrext]

3:07 = Aimbot.

[tintanmaster]

Shouldeve activted Aimbot

[NoHoldsWrestling]

What is this a fan film of?

[NoHoldsWrestling]

@Jogeta5 See, I never played half-life.. I guess I missed out on that one.

[UltimegaSeven]

@NoHoldsWrestling

It's inspired by Half-Life

[nepraatis]

Information for everyone, panorama from this city and sightseeing objects is from Riga, Latvia

[TehSuperCoholic]

Thats Riga,Latvia HELL YEAH

[SpartanCXVII]

I see less the 500k views. Reuploaded?

[TheCentis]

That is my country

[jurispetrovs]

@TheCentis Ko tu neteiksi! :)

[RihA098890]

its in my country :)

[MusicMzZ]

@USMCpatriot1000 it's Riga city.... Latvia

[TheEL337dude]

what happened to the one that had way more views?

[iSteven51]

2:41 if that was a Gordon Freeman imitation, that was terrible.

[MudHut67]

@iSteven51

What?

[iSteven51]

@MudHut67 the guy was fighting with a crowbar. Only Gordon can use a crowbar and NOT look like an idiot.

[MudHut67]

@iSteven51

I disagree, but ok.

[ValentineLovesU]

Oh my goodness I loved this. It was totally wicked. 8D

[Plestecheune]

Erf 3:47 , [...] and other countires[...]

Countires ? Oo Ho, this fault will stay in my mind forever :(

[F0C0H0]

isnt really annoying when the top comments a reply to another comment and you spend 5 mins looking for that comment just to discover its removed!! ahh!!

[bob11366528]

@F0C0H0 Just open all comments in another tab then press ctrl+f then type in the persons name.

[F0C0H0]

@bob11366528 ahh thanks

[F0C0H0]

@bob11366528 no but its bin removed..

[bob11366528]

@F0C0H0 Oh

[TheWyrnn143]

im from germany and i understand nothing but i love it cuz its Half Life 2 one of the best games ever :D

[Zarathustra19]

Very well done! Especially considering the time and money constraints!

[MountedDragoon]

Ha ha, crowbar of doom! Man, this is as awesome as Philanthropy! Why can't Hollywood make stuff as awesome as this?

[dirge71]

Maybe Falling Skies should have talked to these guys. Its sad when a big budget TV series can't even compete with these special effects. And maybe if the action was this good, it would have made Falling Skies worth continued watching.

[davxx27]

Best Combine Helmets so far... the other ones i saw, they jest looked cheesy, and some times there were Gas Masks...

[harlen333]

I love old trains.

[RushingD1337]

HOLY SH!T THIS IS AWESOME

[SneaKythinkurRTARDED]

This is made with a 500$ Budged... Imagine what they could do with 2 millions..

[KusanagiMotoko100]

If you look closely at 3:30 you can notice the straight lines from the masks on the dust clips, but better than freddie cause it has a development on the story at least.

[Bipenjeety]

1:26 head shot like a boss

[SketkhW]

The production value is amazing, but please adr or rebalance the audio, I can barely understand the dialogue over the SFX.

[Aetrion]

$500 budget isn't entirely accurate I'd say, all the time people put into this was volunteered most likely, so it would cost a lot more to make if they payed everyone involved what their skills are worth.

[xthenewX12x]

I imagine if Ross Scott was in this situation he'd say, "OH SHIT A COPTER!"

[stigmabuster22]

this was made on a 500$ budget? Holy shit this is awesome!!!!!

[MisterFallout]

better than freddiew

[SkoftLive]

@MisterFallout You can't really compare this to freddiew considering how much time and money was spent making this video compared to the weekly videos of freddiew.

[MisterFallout]

@SkoftLive gtfo freddiew fanboy

[MisterFallout]

@SkoftLive gtfo freddiew fanboy

[kjettpack]

Isnt there a longer version of this?

[skaziks]

oh.. my town.. didn't know there was a war going outside.

[okamiwolf250]

holllly crap.

[GamingLikeMad]

The city is actually capital of city latvia - Riga. They used a panorama picture and edited it. You can google Riga and maybe you'll manage to find the real picture.
