Nice video dude. Also, will you be willing to use a demo (Camera) to take cutscenes? Maybe use maps such has City45, City18, City8 to take cutscenes. @Berserkoid Also, use different maps and episodes of each main character, like Citizens, Resistance members, OTA (Overwatch Transhuman Arm), Civil Protection AKA Metrocop, EOW (Elite Overwatch) etc. Just some tips to remind you. Programs like these are good too. Sony Vegas Pro 9, AudaCity, etc.

@best360gamer I just use GCFScape to extract the sound files from HL2 (and Eps 1 and 2), and then edit them to make my own words and phrases - although even making one new word can be a torturously slow process - one reason why the latest video has been taking so long to finish...
Thanks again - still having a few issues with part 30 at the moment, but I'm going to upload it in the next few days, whether the problems are fixed or not - time to move on to part 31 - and playing Portal 2!
I just rewatched this going through my subscriptions, and I'm excited for the next one! Thanks for making these! The sheer amount of keybinds you must have is mind-boggling.
Holy FUCKING SHIT...! 0_0 I never thought this series would become so. freakin' EPIC! Seriously...! 00 Very EXTREMELY Amazing! No LIE...! I LOVE IT! X3
If HL2 had this kind of ability it would be so KICKASS...! ^-^
Gman: freeman... you can win anything you have the power... to defeat the combine... unleash the power inside... freeman... you left the toaster on...
@SRMTHFGLover1 Hi, I hope to have part 30 done and dusted pretty soon - I've just been doing some more work on the Combine radio chatter (which has taken me almost two months so far) . The first part, Death Rides into City 17, was uploaded on Feb 27th 2007, according to YouTube, so I'd like to get part 30 finished and uploaded on or around the 27th if I can.
@ahartakpower I don't really have a script - I have a few ideas in my head before I start the video, but I don't really plan and very rarely write anything down - the video just sort of makes itself! Sometimes I will record something with a Combine script in my mind - like the Metrocop with the crowbar in No Prisoners - but usually I record the scenes first then think of some Combine chatter or other NPC talk to fit the action. (Although I do already know the story for later videos...!)
@ahartakpower Hi again, do you mean at 13:59? I can't remember the name of the track off the top of my head, but in the original game's sound files it's HL2_song28 - you hear it in HL2 after you take down the last Strider in the final battle in City 17.
Simply said, awesome as always, you never cease to amaze xD keep up the good work beserk, we know that the wait is whorth it... thake this awesome thumbs up (?)
@mechaelite Thanks, I hope the series stands up to repeated viewing - some of the earlier parts are pretty rough and scrappy, I think, with maybe too much action and not enough story - although they have an intensity and glee, I guess, which I'm quite pleased about (one day I'll get round to putting up a website/blog, and explaining what I was thinking and trying to do with the editing, and why the videos were rushed). But thanks again - and I wish you all the best for your exam tomorrow!
@best360gamer Hi, I've listed all the Gmod addons I used (like the beta stuff, and the NPC Control addon, which tells units to move/run to a certain location on the map) in the video description, if you want to download them (although the Assassin doesn't scream - I added that bit). And there's a scene at 07:53, where I gave a Combine soldier a sniper rifle and had him moving behind the Combine Guard towards the sniper tower (I was going to try and use the SDK to get him to climb the ladder...
...to the tower but, well, it seemed like too much hard work for such a brief scene!). But I've been thinking about doing a stealth section later on in the series, and I've a feeling there's going to be some kind of stealth in Episode Three - maybe sneaking up on Advisors with some kind of Portal Gun, and having DOG dropping through portals to take them out , I don't know. But the section in HL2, just after Ravenholm, when you're crouching and creeping along the railway tracks...
...trying to avoid the sniper bullets, is one of my favourite moments in the game (I love the Thief series as well). (I think Valve didn't use the Combine Guard in the final version of the game because perhaps they thought it looked too similar to Quake's the Strogg - although if you look closely I'm sure its armour is made of Vortigaunt skin (!?))
Wow that was certainly worth the wait once again my friend action packed as ever I was beginning to think that everything that freeman touched was invincible, feel kinda bad for the strider though never knew they were females O.=.o but anyways absolutely liked buddy keep up the good work and I shall be pondering what freeman will do in the next episode :}
hey a little question. Where did you get those dropships with containers/striders in them? And how do you do to make the Combine Helicopter drop bombs?
@mechaelite Cheers, I've just posted a reply to zonetrooper re the Dropship containers just below , if that's ok - and if you don't mind looking through the comments for Barney Trouble (Part One), I've posted a reply there which should have all the info you need to tell you how to get the Combine Helicopter to drop bombs (both timed mines and bombs which explode on contact).
@zonetropper Hi again, thanks, you can tell dropships to pick up containers or Advisor pods or whatever, using console commands: spawn a dropship and type ent_setname dropship, spawn a Combine container and call it ent_setname crate; then ent_fire dropship pickup crate and it'll fly over and hover above its target. It won't pick up the container cleanly, but you can use Gmod's physgun to adjust the container so it fits under the Dropship. You can also tell it to land and leave and other stuff!
Unbelievable more action than the end of all the Terminator movies when the rocket buzzed Gordons head I actually flinched these vids of yours just get better and better if you put this on a disc I would buy it.
Amazing you are a VERY talented guy I am waiting for the next one Thanks for your efforts!! Steve
@sanctumofficium Not as many times as I crashed, falling off that Strider! But, yes, I did have a few, although these are films, machinima, so there's a lot of editing and sneakiness going on (the beta molotov cocktails caused more problems than the bombs or nukes for some reason - they really flatten my framerate as well). Barney Trouble was by far the worst for crashes, though, probably because there were so many ragdoll corspes in such a confined area of the map.
What a battle! You've done an impressive job, this was well worth the wait. It's like this is the actual game, and I wish it was. Keep up the excellent work!
It's kinda like incredible, that it's like the fourth - fifth episode only about people killing each other in the exactly same place and yet it's exciting as hell!
5/5 and I want to believe you've got more of these to upload soon...
This should be a real chapter, if i were Gabe Newell i would be throwing money at the screen just to make this a game.
