One of the best things about the Half-Life series is Valve's ability to blend music with the game so smoothly. This song precisely describes the mixed sadness and relief after taking down the gunship in the rebel hideout. The game just wouldn't feel the same without it.
I don't think this music is supposed to make the player feel awesome, I think it's supposed to make the player feel sympathy for the exhausted rebels.
After 8 hours, when every sound distant explosions went silent, Ive seen a lot of diffrent creatures on the streets, Ive sealed myself in the apartment. After 3 days, Ive heard a lot of gunshots, the creatures were gone, a peoples in gas masks were walking across the street, I could hear somekind of commands in the distance.
After a week I decided to go outside, I didnt walked 10 steps from my apartment and soldiers in gas mask started to shout to get down on ground.
Your death has sealed the fate of everyone else on earth. The Combine triumph, releasing their taint into the atmosphere. Millions die, and the earth falls silent again. Rest in peace, One Free Man.
I stood on the edge of a cliff, thinking about what the Combine have done to Earth, and if earth would ever be freed from the Combine's grasp. Would Earth ever be normal again? The only was was to push on, I got in my jeep, not wanting to leave my rebel friends. A tear slid down my face onto my hazard suit as I sped away to the unknown. Dr. Gordon Freeman, 27
Looking at the broken pieces that once formed an inoccent creature, now programmed to kill everyone on sight. The rebels with their heads rested on their elbows in exhaustion, you want to stay and defend, but you get back in your jeep and speed away, as if you couldn't care less.
i put on headphones, aviator sunglasses, slicked my hairback, wore a suit, out this soundtrack on replay, went outside my 9 th story apartment balcony, and stared at the downtown night sky for 5 minutes cuz it felt like the right thing to do.
PEOPLE! Viktor Antonov is Bulgarian and based City 17 on Sofia, my hometown, but there are a lot of differences between the two cities. It look like Sofia THE MOST but has some differences too. It's based on a LOT of eastern European cities. Like, if all of them were squished together. LURK MOAR if you want to find out which is based on what.
This was an intense battle during and afterwards. I had a couple buddies following me handing me rockets and health kits then they got swiss cheesed, poor fellas. I thought they all had died, a little walking around and I saw a couple people standing around, beaten, but alive. Glad to know at least someone survived to fight another day.
@CTAT98 Dunno about you but I felt sad because of the poor ensl@\/ed being(organic gunship) that was forced to fight you and you had no other option but to kill it :< .
When I looked through the Combine special binoculars in Highway 17, I saw G-Man talking with someone, which I first thought that was his twin from Half life 1 (Stupid thought). But when I looked closely, he was talking to Odessa and finally realized that the G-Man was talking about the gunship attack on New Little Odessa
@CTAT98 Hmm, sure but it makes me think more of the rebels who just got slaughtered (especially the poor bugger on the tower) when I look at the survivors resting, exhausted by the adrenaline rush. It makes you think they'd probably have to go through that kind of stuff frequently, and that's just how shit the life of a rebel is.
lol, one time i beat the gunship before it even killed anyone, and at the end everyone was all sad and im like "0_0 WTF why are you all sad and tired, because you fired your smg into the air 1 time and missed?"
The golden rays engulfed Gordon, dissipating the crude reality of the bleak, ruined world around him. For a brief moment, he marveled at the sweet song of infinity.
That girl, screaming at the beginning and at the end of this song, might be a reference, that during, or after the Combine invasion, that their was a massive slaughter of children once the Combine were in control of Earth.
Why is there random screaming at the end? It sounds like and eagle calling out, or a teenager screaming in complete terror. Neither of them exactly fit the moment...
when you defeat the gunship it's amazing almost amazing as getting out of ravenholm when you defeat the gunship and this music plays you are feeling you done somthing big sorry for my english im bulgarian
@sezani Lol, you don't know how common people mistaken me for that. No, I'm not Zhu. I'm just a fan of the Xiao Xiao series. Ever since I saw it, I took on this identity as a permanent personal memory of the series.
@sezani City 17 is most likely being in Bulgaria, Viktor Antonov is the art designer of City 17, and also it's said that City 17 is somewhere in Eastern Europe.
@Haxgasm No, the place is a construct based on different places in Eastern Europe, but the main design comes from Sofia, Bulgaria. They don't speak Russian there, but they do share the cyrillic alphabet, which is not exclusively used by the Russians.
@PhyOSPhyOS If you are talking about where the game is based off of, a lot of it is based off of places in the Ukraine. I have the Raising the Bar book, I can look it up if you think I'm wrong. I haven't really read it in awhile.
@Therealguymins I know, and you're not wrong, in fact what you're saying is just an expansion of my comment. As I said, "the place is a construct based on different places in Eastern Europe, but the main design comes from Sofia, Bulgaria".
@sezani kvo li ti pisha na angliiski, vij koi e Viktor Antonov, toi e designera na grad 17, ne si li zabelqzal kak blokovete prilichat mnogo na nashte?
Kelly Baily remember this name always when you hear soundtrack of anything.. anything like even some movies...
