  • This is track 04 from -- HL2 E1 -- not HL2

  • Anyone else think Beta City 17 was better than Normal City 17?

  • @FrostbiteCinemaYT I personally prefer the earliest one, the American-like city with huge skyscrapers. But yeah, in some spots the beta C17 was better than the retail one.

  • @FrostbiteCinemaYT Everything in Raising the Bar was better than retail if you ask me.

  • Fuck...This brings back memories... :'(

  • i have played all parts but i never heard this soundtrack :D

  • @Chromemaker

    You can hear this sound at beginning of Half Life 2 when you are escaping from combines on the roofs of buildings.

  • @iamburak lol thx how i forgot it lol :D

  • If you manage to get a hold of the original HL2 leak from 2003 or so you can actually play the level shown in the picture of this video. There's not a great to it but it's interesting to see what Valve original envisioned for HL2.

  • the name of the song is "Guard Down". But yeah, thanks for uploading it i love this track :D

  • This music actually kind of does describe City17, the slightly creepy tone shows mystery in city17, the long echoes and tones show that the Citizens there need help, and the climax at 0:55 shows that it's not normal and needs help, only a miracle could save it. :D

  • 1-listen to music

    2-write poem about hl2

    3-????

    4-profit

  • Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you TF2 is the super fun same with the other Valve games

  • best games:

    half life 1:yes

    half life 2:yes

    half life 2 ep 1 and 2:yes

    tf2:no

    l4d1 and 2:no

    s.t.a.l.k.e.r:no

    cs 1 and glabal offensive:no

  • @tommymartin2001 i "like em all"

  • @tommymartin2001 TF2? Alright. L4D? Alright. CS? Alright. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? Gtfo.

  • @tommymartin2001 You can't put Half Life and just FPS games on the same bar. Half Life was designed to be purely single player and epic, but these other games are mostly only to kill other players. Though I don't know anything about S.T.A.L.K.E.R other than it looked awful in "Shadow of Chernobyl" version. But these other games are without a doubt awesome at certain perspective, but according to your post it looks as if you're trying to tell us what's wrong and what's right.

  • @CammanderPagan I'm actually quite surprised that no-one has sent me any real hate mail over this but thank you. Guys, I've played the game, known the fan base and know the story. What I meant by him being swapped out with Alex was nothing to do with being physically the same as anyone else. His character is so none existent if his character was seiches with one with personality he would not loose anything. So I will be willing to accept that he is a character not for having a character if ther

  • @briotera Thank you bust if I'm honest that's not a character. That's a vessel, he can be swapped out with Alex and she can wear the suit for all intents and purposes. What makes him so looked up to by fans of the series?

  • Dont forget what gman said " the right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world" even freeman doesnt know why :) get it? Half life one was a trial for freeman to.work.for the gmans employers, to. Use To use at the right time to.topel the alien occupation, witch is an interdiamentional empire incase you wanna know lol. And thats about all the info there is, that's the beauty of Half-Life , all those games and we still dont know who old Gmans workin for

  • Without describing what Gordon Freeman did during Half Life 1/2 or the Episodes, or that he was a physicist at Black Mesa, can anyone describe Gordon Freeman's character. Also why is he so looked up to?

  • @SuperDarkserpent "Even the simplest man, can become a hero."

  • @SuperDarkserpent The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

  • @SuperDarkserpent Because he took down two alien empires almost completely by himself with a crowbar.

  • the very first screenshot or pic were can i find that place in-game please tell me!

  • @AntonPrivalov1 that level is from the beta

  • To send their company feedback to tell them what you want

  • Valve is a very scrict company, if you adkins for hl3 or hl2 ep 3 then you have

  • the track? its called guard down

  • Somebody tell that fuckin' plump who manages Valve to finish and release HL2 EP3!!!

  • I've finished the orange box like 6-7 times, never play the original, is the original worth picking up and playing? (same story goes for Dues-ex to, played the 2nd one heaps of times but never the 1st)

  • @flooshar Let me tell you. Half life 2 is VERY good. But compared to the first, its VERY short. Half life one is DEFINATLEY worth playing. Enough for me to say that I would gladly buy it for you if you werent totally sold.

  • @DemondNight You can still give it away as a gift through steam...

  • @conijoo Then privately message me your Steam name

  • @DemondNight I already own the game, I was talking about the other guy. Thanks btw.

  • @conijoo Then why did you tag me to tell me I can still give it away through Steam? -_-

  • I have reason to believe that this track would be defined as industrial ambient. If not, please do not refrain from scolding me and my inability to properly categorize this music. thansk for the upload and HL is awesome! Tho, valve is lofting on ep. 3, no surprise there, as they usually take great care in designing their games with much passion. Clearly they also have impressive sound tracks to aid in the altogether great game play.

  • @mdube13131 I couldn't have said that better mister professor.

  • Music From HL2 Ep 1

  • I greatly prefer the story of rebelling against a brutal occupying totalitarianism with sci fi peppered in here and there, then a backfiring science project. Not to say I didn't like the first one though.

  • the guy is slouched

  • "Welcome, welcome to City 17. You have chosen or been chosen to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I decided to elect my administration here, in the citadel so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. So, whether you are here to stay or passing through to parts unknown, welcome to City 17. It's safer here."

  • THIS song is all about the HL2 alpha and beta.

  • Меня прёт от этого трека

  • Comment removed

  • Download link.. Must get.

  • @UnnamedAirsoft youtube downloader ! must google

  • Dis cool.

    True..true.

  • It's nice to share a drum synthesizer with the people who composed some of the most memorable tracks for one of the most memorable games.

  • ITS CALLED GUARD DOWN NOT CITY 17 track!......

  • No, you can be human and be CP, see because remember, Barney was an undercover agent, so they trusted him, and gave him the mask. By the way, you become a stalker, then you go through the Combine ranking system, it will all be explained in Episode three trust me.

  • @TheOjdidit You're misunderstood. CPs are "pure" humans who willingly volunteer. If they want "promotions", they become transhumans via surgery and are able to become Combine Soliders/Elites. Stalkers are something completely different, they are slaves made by the Combine out of both resistance members or who ever was in the wrong place at the wrong time, although some become Soldiers; either way, it's unwilling for them.

  • @Gello70 Hey, this is great for us at Valve, but i would not recommend stealing Alyx's line from when she said, "Some of them were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." It will all be said and done when we inevitably release the ever continuing expansion to our already beloved expansion. Make sure you buy it, we are already making Holiday Special Offers. (Hint* Hint*)

  • "What, who the hell are you! How did you get in here! My god, Gordan Freeman...."

  • while i was playing the game i gave my all attention to atmosphere and the graphics, unfortunately missed all these great songs. so i have a reason to play it again :)

  • Don't make me lose my trust freeman! Give up while you still can! It'll save the earth, it'll save humanity! Do what you think is best freeman!

  • I remember the first time I saw this picture in a gaming magazine. I was amazed by the graphics and tought its so realistic.. hehe

  • Comment removed

  • I remember this song when i was playing cs cz zombie server

  • Half Life is such a good adventure.

  • bad ass

  • when does this actually play?

  • @TeamReptileStudios HL2 Episode 1 after you kill the Antlion Guard

  • 2016: Gordon Freeman will save us. The time has come. Rise up against the Combine.

  • "Guard Down" HL2 ep 1

  • they're building a new 'source' engine, once that's finished they'll announce half life 3 - and the world wont know what hit it.

  • is this city 17 before the 7 hour war?

  • @msmrFreefall That makes no sence, there is no Civil Protection before the Combine (Universal Union) came to Earth, which is the Seven hour war. This is a picture of the beta hl2 concept art made by the developers.

  • @PrototypeAndroid So you've played both exhaustively? I've played all of HL + episodes(obviously) and the entire Halo 3 on Xbox360 co-op with a friend, which was pretty fun at times but useluss compared to playing HL.

    What are the strenghts of Halo that I missed?

  • @PrototypeAndroid You you can't compare Halo to Half-Life. Halo is like a 1000 levels lower. It would be like comparing a Scorcese picture to one from Michael Bay.

  • Looking forward to Half Life Episode 3, purely for story and the improved portal 2-like graphics!

  • @purplehaze26 And I'm curious to hear about the mysterious deaf guy.

  • City 17 mod = HL2 EP3 Mod,;Di see on a site,but is brazilian

    Half Life 2 Episode 3 Promise Scary Players UP

  • i never thought i'd find a game as awe-inspiringly creative and fun to play as Half LIfe 2. The Combine is officially my favorite evil organization ever greated.

  • Gordon Freeman>Master Chief 

  • @jeromegoh225 no. Just no. you cannot compare such an epic game such as HL2 to halo. Halo is good, but not as good as HL2. Deal with it.

  • @Xzynorqui I like both games...but i prefer HL2

  • @jeromegoh225 ya i know what you mean.... Halo in my opinion IS better like in storyline and features but HL2 is just so much more EPIC you cannot compare anything to it.

  • @jeromegoh225 No. Gordon Freeman=Master Chief. :)

  • THAT'S THE CITY 17 THEME?!?!?!?!

  • @SuperCatfire it's called " guard down " , it's in episode one ( or two i don't remember ) , it plays when you kill a giant antlion and then you start exchanging fire with member of the combine guarding a giant portal

  • combines are good? or bad? who is the combine commander? gman?

  • @KKND2KrossFire Combine are bad, they invaded Earth and wanted to exterminate humans. The Gman is not their leader, because he let Gordon destroy them.

  • @CrisisCake ok thank, you shephard & the soldiers hate freeman too.

  • @KKND2KrossFire Yes, Shephard and the HECU marines (soldiers) were sent to Black MEsa to kill aliens and scientists, to cover up the disaster.

  • @CrisisCake ah yeah, thats because the soldiers kill barneys & scientists, freeman open the portal. and the r huntering all.

  • half life > anything

  • @ieetmelon Agreed, maybe people would be better off if actually a catastrophe came along and we would start caring about one another, atleast in half life people are actually...human :/

  • @ieetmelon why?

  • @McFat767 gameplay , story , charecter's , excelent facing , and for it's time , great grafic's.

    (btw sorry for my spelling)

  • @ieetmelon >everything

  • @Leeroys95 i stand coorrected

  • @ieetmelon half life > sex.

  • @ieetmelon

    doom > half life

    by logic of main char. achievements: doomguy went thru hell multiple times and back and fought demons in various other places, freeman only stopped 2 alien races

    doom has a LARGE number of custom wads (new maps covering all 32 original map slots), and each wad has about 20+ custom musics, with the fast rate of wad production and complete new play experience for each wad....

    doom is probably the only singleplayer game with true infinite replayability

  • @roxasfruit ahhh, as much as i respect your opinioon , i still think half life is best

    the immersion pacing soundtrack , and gameplay , they all mack for what's in my opinioon , the best game ever,

    still , everyone has they'r opinion's and i respect your's.

  • @roxasfruit, Still, Valve made a SDK so people can make mods, far beyond what WAD's could do. Just look at all those mods, they are all different from eachother, while Doom mods continue the same sort of game.

  • @TheRealDutchOwner

    heheh

    doom mods: custom weapons, custom maps, custom monsters, custom textures, music, huds, sounds

  • @roxasfruit, Ever heard of Mario Kart Source? Could Doom do such a thing, making a FPS run a race game? Or Insect Infestation? I don't think so.

  • @roxasfruit Doom is gay as fuck and unreal as fuck

  • @ieetmelon I simply can't compare Half-Life to anything, it is the most unique, deep and thoughtful saga I've ever seen. Wallace Breen's speeches are impossible to describe, absolutely amazing.

    Valve should make sure when they do release HL2: Episode 3 that it is as perfected as much as they can do humanly possible. I'll be willing to wait as long as possible for the game to be completed to the best of their abilities. Valve, we as fans have complete confidence in you, don't let us down!

  • @GreenPepperTeam im sure they wont :)

    beside's , valve dev's multiable games at once.

    so the team that is working on ep3 has been doing so for several years , and if valve's history teachs us one thing it is:

    longer wait = better game

  • @GreenPepperTeam We've waited 10 years for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. And it was fucking epic. I could wait 10 years for EP3.

  • @NightwishLover2012 you renember duke nukem forever ? 12 fukicng years and now its rated 2.1 ! I kinda like the game bacause if the boobs and guns but what is Valve makes EP3 real shit more like the 10 years play the games that are now like Rage there is already a torrent of the game

  • @NightwishLover2012 dont you mean duke nukem forever?

  • @NightwishLover2012 i think the new game will be half life 3 not ep.3 because vale seems to be takeing there time with it.

  • @jimcoolfilms i think its half life 2 ep.3 in the us and the same game is half life 3 in eu relese but i dont know

  • @NightwishLover2012 I would wait 20 years for EP3

  • @NightwishLover2012 I could wait 15, so that BMS (black mesa source) could exist, bms is the best mod that never existed

  • @GreenPepperTeam i agree completly, iv bean playing half life since i was 5, and i cant wait to see what happens next in the story line.

  • @MRKILL357 dood Ive played hl1 sincer I was 5 too :D it was my first game :)

  • @ieetmelon i partly agree, but what about legend of zelda: Ocarina of time ?

  • looks like 8 people got crowbared in the face and smacked around by the scout then after pressing dislike

  • i am feeling safe and secure already!

  • It would have been easily ten times better if no one had leaked the beta.

  • @drmayo65 yeah, that's TOTALLY true!

    i mean, it would had take 2 or more years, but it would WAY MORE awesome!

  • The most awesome picture I've seen for Half-Life 2, with very fitting music! Just throwing out a possibility, if any of you have GMod and you want to play some Half-Life 2 roleplay, just message me on YouTube.

  • "Welcome to City 17. It's safer here."

  • @RescoeZ *tears down holo-sign of Breen.*

  • @RescoeZ " you have chosen or been chosen to live here "

  • @RescoeZ i always wondered, safer than what? being eaten by a bear?

  • @ferdinand12390 All the aliens like ant lions and headcrabs that are outside the city

  • @KickenItOldSchool but living in fear with the police raids and no free thinking fascism controlling whts left of humanity? i´d take my chance living outside with the ant lions

  • @ferdinand12390 Well not really. That's one option. The other is that you join Civil Protection. You're still human but you're a "CP" officer and you get food, shelter and weapons.

  • @Davidstuts575 maybe...maybe but no one knows certainly what they do to humans to transform them into the CP officers, i definitively would become one if one of the processes takes off your wang o_O

  • @ferdinand12390 I am a HL2 Rper in Garry's Mod and i know how it goes. Basiclly if you haven't done any "anti-civil activity" you can apply to become an officer. You start off as a recruit and you slowly rank up. As an Departement Officer a.k.a. OfC you are auggmented by 2%, as a Ellite Protection Unit a.k.a. EpU you are aggumented about 50%, as a Division Leader, a.k.a. DvL you are auggmented 80% and as a Sectorial Commander a.k.a. SeC you are auggmented 99%. Overwatch soldiers are 100%.

  • @ferdinand12390 They transform them by giving them amour, suit and weapons such as MP7s, 9mms, Stunbatons, depending on the officers rank. When they are auggmented they lose a part of their organs, ( like for example liver) but they can still control themselfs, even though they are brainwashed aswell.

  • @Davidstuts575 meh it still doesnt convince me, well i rather live with the vorts and try to learn manipulating the antlions

  • @ferdinand12390 I don't know...

    Being eaten by a bear sounds preferable to being turned into a stalker.

  • @Wamitoria that`s what i mean, preferable to live outside where who knows whats left, to be a piece of meat to the combine

  • @RescoeZ its complitly the oppiste

  • @RescoeZ 'bomb goes off'

    

  • @RescoeZ Safe my ass >:(

  • @RescoeZ no it aint but you have too agree with breen or else you will have a stun stick in you ass in 5 sec (-.-)'

  • @RescoeZ When I first saw the metrocop push a man I thought "Bull Shit."

  • Comment removed

  • hl2 epsisode 3 valve where are you when we need you!!!!!!!!!!

  • Somebody should make a remix of this song. I love the beggining but it sounds like a great intro for a fast paced song. This reaulted in me listening the to beggining over and over. Still, a great song from a great game.

  • groovy tunes

  • other games can go suck dick hl trilogy is the way to go!

  • This one's called Guard Down.

  • \Combine 4 Ever/

  • I want to be a Combine Eilte if the take over the world muhahahahaha XDXDDXDXXDXDXDXD

  • @jdglavin if you wanted to take over the world as a combine you would be a beta combine guard which is almost invincible and its gun is extremely overpowered.

  • @gmodfan11 Its primary fire was the Strider's warp cannon, and its secondary fire was the shotgun. I have all the beta weapons on Gmod, so I know.

  • @saturnmasonALT its secondary fire was not used. It used an alternate weapon on its rist as secondary fire.

  • @saturnmasonALT

    The beta weapons on gmod aren't exact... Even you should know that.

  • @gmodfan11 that will be cool thanks you mate

  • Awsome but I can't remember hearing this song anywhere in the game. 5/5

  • You hear it in Hl2 ep 1,

    but i can't remember the mission.

  • Thanks anyway.

  • If they come Ima join the CP Lol, so i don't get beat up and stun sticked and get turned into a stalker o.o.

  • @petrinko99

    But Cp's get mutilated by Gordan Freeman ^^

  • I want to be metrocop :D
