Should I make another episode?
Dude, this is better than 90% of Hollywood's action movies. This is freaking amazing!
Yes Please
Yes I really like the idea of a live action Half Life
yea
Yea of course, btw add more funny stuff like 3:21 lol
Mad props to the camera man risking being shot by the turret
nice
Camera man never dies
Hehe, very nice touch to include those in-game soldier quotes at 4:48.
my only problem with this is that gordon isnt going mach 11 bhopping away from the soliders and then waiting for them to move out of cover so he can beat them mercilessly with a crowbar
Considered it. Went for the slomo instead.
The level of detail is incredible. So many references to Opposing Force. The Employee of the month plaque, the squad being addressed as Foxtrot. So much effort was put into this.
thanks. yeah we put a lot of thought in.
Already 2019 and I just now discovered this? This needs a lot more attention, not to mention more love and respect!
Cheers
agreed! im about to share it in a group of 45k
If you are new you probably dont know about the video of 2012 wich is the first video of the series
I have discovered it in 2021, and i'm so angry at myself i did not find it earlier! It's GREAT!
I love how the marines are just as notorious for grenades as the first game
The Combine in the second game span them as well.
@@007spudmanSpudsArmy yeah true but this is about black mesa and such, combine weren't really even figured out yet c: but you're right in the second they spammed those fuckers like hot cakes
"The world is ending and I feel nothing"
Well duhh, you're on so much morphine it's a wonder you're still conscious
that was fantastic!! and that bearded doctor was AMAZING.
I thought so too as did many others.
яиду домой he's busy with star wars again.
At 4:50 the soldiers actually say lines from the game, I think that's really cool.
Yep, the door look was lifted right from the game and if you notice the soldier's names are Mark and Laidlaw after the writer Mark Laidlaw
Love it, wish it had been a full-length movie, one can dream but until then this is the next-best thing! Please don't keep us waiting for the next episode!
jcmccrae thanks. Please share.
Gabe Newell and JJ Abrams had a DICE presentation where at the end Gabe Newell said he wanted to work with Bad Robot and JJ Abrams on a Portal or Half Life movie. I have no idea how they would make a Portal movie but a Half Life movie seems right up their alley.
Yeah a Half-Life movie would be cool. Trouble is the fan base is not really there for Half-Life. Even if it was exceptional, it might not perform at the box office. A TV series might fare better and have considerably less budget. If VALVE wants to pony up for series and have JJ Abrams EP it, I will gladly run the show and make it to the high level Half-Life fans would expect. I'm waiting by the phone for them to call. :)
I would support having you do a 2 hour film. You got a good portrayal of the Half-Life atmosphere, with a conservative budget and some outside help I think you'd be able to honor the game.
ua-cam.com/video/0Z6CfxZ4opE/v-deo.html
And please employ these guys.
I like how they show that the HECU aren’t bad people. There just Marines dropped in to try and stop a situation from going and to worse.
"we tried to kill him for no reason so he killed us, he's gonna pay"
you did good at making these guys hateable
Fairly certain that conversation they have while the guy is looking through the sniper scope is almost verbatim a conversation you can overhear in Half Life 1
Exactly
I can actually understand the HECU, and they did have a reason to kill them. I don't think it's smart, what they did, but it wasn't dumb, either. Killing the scientist team would ensure another resonance cascade would be highly, highly improbable, thus preserving more lives and keeping the peace (if not for the portal storms). It's more of a moral thing, if anything. They aren't the good guys, by any means, but to be fair, in Half Life 1, no one is. It's just a desperate fight for survival.
6:40
When the scientist said “Freeman,” THE VALVE STARTUP THEME KICKED UP. INSANE ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
Cheers
holy crap i didnt think it was possible to give gordon a slightly ok voice but oh my god the nailed it.
thanks
I love how the soldiers aren't shown as bloodthirsty minions of the government. It shows how conflicted they feel about killing innocent civilians for the sake of a cover up.
so you're more of a opposing force guy
just following orders. He killed their buddies you know.
Dude the HEV suit look so fantastic
HEV*
HIV suit lmao
The fuckin hiv suit
@@beneb4889 oops haha
hiv suit
That is peeerrrrfect.
since thats the Episode 2: part 1, i think we gonna get one more video EP2: part 2. and no episode 3.
thats the spirit.
I need more of dis. complete the story...
MORE on the WAY! Episode 2 Part 2 will drop on Christmas Eve in the U.S. as a stocking stuffer from the makers at Chariotdrive. Merry Christmas!
You must wear your Black Mesa ID during the apocalypse at ALL TIMES.
Just like your passport
true
this is better than 90% of netflix
Thanks
I like the way Gordon looks around when people are telling something. It feels like the way players are left free to move & look anywhere during story moments
I love the inclusion of that little conversation the HECU soldiers have in the game about Freeman.
I was thinking the same thing, little nods like that are fantastic
HECU really has the audacity to make Freeman pay for the death of their buddies when he’s just defending himself 😂
You've never played the game
@@pleasegoawaydudeYou haven’t played the game that’s what they do, they go in there and kill the survivors, and the first marine you encounter tries to kill everyone in the room
I love the part just before this with the sniper. The way they allude to in game dialogue 5:09
It's lifted straight from the game
It’s from the game. Word for word.
I've contributed with Brazilian Portuguese subtitles (just needs approval). Hope it makes this more accessible for more people!
I'm an experienced translator with a passion for games, so I thought that doing this would help you guys a lot.
Great work, as always! ;)
UPDATE: it has been approved! Thank you! :D
I'd assume we shouldn't expect an episode 3?
Great work as always :^)
episode 4 or episode 2 part 2
I don’t think many people have said this, but just the HEV suit alone makes this so legendary. I’ve been getting into half-life very recently, and everything about this is amazing, even down to the music! I bet that actor felt super cool whenever he had to don Freeman’s suit.
Thanks
This series deserves way more attention, the amount of effort that've gone into these goes up there with Netflix, imo
thanks
The fact that this dude is still active... lets just say I'm thankful.
Thanks. I want to make another one I really do. It's just about the funding
I've never wanted a half life security guard to live this hard
then you don't know BLUE SHIFT
@@ShadowlordDio Well I did want The T H I C C security guard to live but this one gives me more hype energy
nice
SO much better than i expected 😍😍 and i love the fact that you guys used the ingame HECU conversation 😂❤
This just shows how much potential there is for a movie in Half-Life Universe. I mean just this masterpiece could be a teaser/trailer of the movie and everyone would be thrilled. Such a shame that there's no movie in universe already.
Yeah and the fact this is a decent movie with low budget is incredible
Very true Doctor!
Greetings Dr. Freeman
Hello, Gordan
Well said!
Gold words
Give these guys an even higher Budget... and I promise these guys will probably make a Movie of the Year Film or a Series of the Year. Props to everyone involved in the production of this series.
This is bloody awesome guys you need to make a full length movie of half-life, use this to get Netflix onboard your get backing easy. This is is almost to the script of the game I was waiting for Alex to come on the screen with her robot dog.
Can't believe it's been almost 5 years! Thank you for creating such an amazing series!
to think episode 3 wont even come out
Update: It in a way did... Still can´t believe it...
The sheer level of detail you put into this is absolutely incredible. This looks like a high budget Hollywood film.
Thanks!
4:51 bruh I love it how they included that speech from the chapter "on a rail" in the original half life
cheers
I am a big fan of Half-Life and you made this on point with the feeling of the real game and i like that you guys used some original sound effect which was a major point of the feeling as well. If you ever make a creature teleport from Xen, please use the real sound effect for that also, as it was creepy in the original HL1. This is the best i have ever watched that is fanmade. You really took the feeling from Half-Life 1 into a real perspective. This is actually work that i would love to watch and pay for.
Keep the awesome work up and don't stress to much, take your time because stressing makes always a worse outcome.
You have a new subscriber here from now on.
Hope you all involved have a nice day!!!
Thank you Arbrex !!
Greetings Pyromancer, episode 2 part 2 coming in February of 2018!

Hey there, after a lot of work, the gang at Chariotdrive is going to finally release Episode 2 Part 2 of The Freeman Chronicles this Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas!
What the actual fuck, how does this video not have over 1 million views? This deserves WAY WAY WAY more attention. Great work! I really hope this series continues.
Thank You! Episode 2 Part 2 will drop on Christmas Eve in the U.S. as a stocking stuffer from the makers at Chariotdrive. Merry Christmas!
Rewatching this 6 years later. It still holds up good.
This.... this is too good for a fan movie
And it gets better! Episode 2 Part 2 of The Freeman Chronicles will drop this Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas from all of us at Chariotdrive!
Michael Thomas Wallace
Holy shit, thank you for noticing peoples comments :D
And thank you for the upcoming part 2, I sure won’t miss it
5:00 i love this reference
God?
@@barebear5428 yes
Guard that baited the sentry: I’m expecting you to run
Freeman: He he HEV leg go BRRRRRR
I like the idea that gordon freeman dosent introduced himself because some scientists blamed him and tried to kill him
I'm gonna go ahead and add this to the ever-growing list of "Things That Have Happened Before the Release of Half-Life 3."
The communication over the radio is done so realistically! Props for that!
I thought in the end he was going to say: "Damn, i'm looking good"
Lol
"anybody mind if I...take off my pants?"
OH MY GOD ITS G-MAN AND THE EFFECTS OMG I L O V E I T PLEASE DONT MAKE ME WAIT FOR THE NEXT PART. I LOVE IT
Damn I've been living under a rock. I never knew this existed. Are there anymore episodes or is it just the two?
Here is all the content.

This was so amazing.
I m a Huge Fan. I know HALF LIFE since 1999.
I don't think anyone can do better than that ! This is pure Half Life, this is the really spirit of this game. Thank you so much.
I assume we shoudnt expect an episode 3 ah ah ah !
Lau sky cheers
There will be no episode 3... but MORE on the WAY! Episode 2 Part 2 will drop on Christmas Eve in the U.S. as a stocking stuffer from the makers at Chariotdrive. Merry Christmas!
I hope these people in the Lambda Lab can get this under control.
Well done, this needs to be a full blown movie. I definitely pay to see it.
This is perfect. I hope that pt 3 will be made.
Thinking about it
Great episode once again! I love how it is really *just* like the game!
But man, that Gordan Freeman HEV suit must've cost you.. a shit ton!
The materials cost a fair bit but the real cost was the time to make it. goo.gl/yxUBdv
"One thing I know for sure is he's been killin' my buddies."
That got my like alright.
4:50 that reference dude that is sick
finally someone who talks about it
Gordon is spot on. Superb. Indoor lighting for the dark scenes looked like a high dollar movie. Great filming.
a full half life movie would be amazing
@EnRionPC:
Or about most of it anyway. Trying to cram all of that into an hour-and-a-half or two-hour feature-length film...would probably yield a four- or five- or more hour running-length, too long for most movies.
On the other hand, a Serial or Chapterplay format would suit a full _Half-Life_ live-action presentation way, waaay better. You could run those lots and lots of more hours, just not all at once, see hehehehehehehe
damn the production quality is so good. Its a shame you guys weren't able to raise funds for the third part.
Well there are technically 3 parts. But yes it was too expensive to continue without some kind of deal with Valve and a production company to finance it.
@@ijduncan that’s sad
why am I just discovering this masterpiece??? so well made, extraordinary!!! are there any other episodes or a full-length movie perhaps?
theres a part 2
@@awsomebot1 watched it, simply amazing... this could easily be made into a whole 3h movie, or into series
Cheers. Worked on it for a long time.
4:17 RIP camera man 2017 - 2017 got rekt by gordon freeman
MORE on the WAY! Episode 2 Part 2 will drop on Christmas Eve in the U.S. as a stocking stuffer from the makers at Chariotdrive. Merry Christmas!
Break the cycle and make a part three!
Recently just got into Half Life and just came across this masterpiece, thank you for this!
Thanks
Can't wait to see a Vortigaunt!!!! So far this has been an amazing ride! They even used some of the original dialogue from the game!!! Keep it coming!
Per your request
Bob blank_placeholder next episode of The Freeman Chronicles will drop on 12-24-18 Christmas Eve as a gift to the fans! Ho Ho Ho!
I am in love! Absolutely awesome :D I shared this like a thousand times or so XD
Holy shit dude. I'm a 80s/90s US military buff, and you got the HECU almost perfectly spot on. Wearing correct gear for the time, with good IRL standins for the nonsensical gear Valve gave them in the game. Personally, I'd have given them the standard body armor of the time, a PASGT vest, but those can be hard to source so I don't blame you for choosing to use more readily available airsofty stuff. Oh, and I'd make sure they'd have the proper firearms; either an M4A1 if you're going the "they're not marines they're army" (which is correct based off of their gear), or an M16A2 if you INSIST on them being marines.
Cheers
This. This is awesome.
*THIS.* Is an actual masterpiece.
idk this even exist
I wasn't expecting a lot from this, but man I loved it! Don't know why but the best bit for me was when Freeman kicks the turret over.
Awesome HEV suit and so many nods to the original game. Top work!
The security guard wasn't Barney at all, it was Evan
correct!
Gotta love the Opposing Force sniper rifle prop.
Thank you and... MORE on the WAY! Episode 2 Part 2 will drop on Christmas Eve in the U.S. as a stocking stuffer from the makers at Chariotdrive. Merry Christmas!
I love your attention to detail by Gordons HEV having a chest mounted flash light
cheers it was a lot of work to make it
I dont know if this would ever continue, but god damn, this dude is the perfect actor for Freeman, and if we ever get more, or a Hollywood adaptation, I’d hope you all come back, full funding and all, cause this was some of the most beautiful live action adaptations in the industry. And it’s a fan made film.
Amazing the ammount of dedication that goes into this
Truly a passion project! Episode 2 Part 2 of The Freeman Chronicles will drop this Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas from all of us at Chariotdrive!
Great screenplay and the artists did a very good job. Kudos!!
Thanks!
Love how you made them recite the same line the soldiers say when talking about freeman.
cheers, glad you noticed. Did you notice their name tags were Marc and Laidlaw. After the writer of half life.
@@ijduncan Yes, lol. Awesome.
Never give up guys! You are the best
This is Surface Tension chapter ,like in original Half-life game .Yes.
somewhere in there
Man, this made me wanna see a live action of Half life so bad, this was amazing.. good job! I can't wait for more episodes.
Is it me or is this version of freeman a total wimp but that security guard is the true bad ass?
Freeman is a scientist, a shy and cold man in his mid 30's, I think the actor is amazing for this role. Starting for the fact Gordon Freeman has no military training, he just had to take weapons and kill aliens. Now if you talk about Adrian Shepard, he was a true badass.

Loving the comments, know that The Freeman Chronicles Episode 2 Part 2 will be released on Christmas Eve, hope you enjoy this present from the gang at Chariotdrive!
@@215MTW *fangirl screech*
@@v-future1444 actually freeman does have a training
@@abgmuhdfarmeezulterminator8865 when?
This is film for fans and only fan respect this!
Why so exclusive? Anyone could respect this, even if they've played the game and arent a fan.
Yes, exactly who playing in this game and liked are been a fan!
Amazing.i wish they made a full real life half life movie. i would watch that and gordon really look like gordon.
The random scientist guy at around the 7:00 mark is actually the best actor in this!
No
I am beyond stoked for this. was in high school waiting for the continuation of this series, now through college. And so thrilled! ;D
finally a good recommendation after 2 years
the reason as to why Gordon is able to take down so many of Foxtrot is he has the same training as they do even with the HEV suit. something that the military just can not match,that and hazard training as well.
but the military have a different version of electric reactive armor, the PCV. And there are waay more than them. Gordon was blessed by the gman.
@@tatotaytoman5934 not everyone uses PCV. only Adrian Shepard
@@juniorsilvabroadcast I'm pretty sure the entire elite
HECU unit would have been given it, it doesn't make sense that they would give it to one guy.
Why did I discover this just now? This is amazing!

Very underappreciated AAA production. Ian James should be proud.
Cheers

!
New Episode is finally ready to be released out into the wild... it will be available to view on Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas
the best bit of this for me, is that in the Half Life game, there is literally nowhere else to go except for where the game tells you to go, where as in this, it really feels like you can escape Black Mesa. Loving this series; really hoping we don't get the Half Life 3 treatment with it...
Barney is honestly badass in this
Damn. I never seen smart security guard in Half Life
except Barney Calhoun lmao
More people need to see this. high quality video 👍
Cheers
the HEV suit looks awesome i want one XD
thanks!
This is going to be amazing, probabily the best action movie ever, you guys definitely deserve tons of awards for this. Can't wait for the sequels!
MORE on the WAY! Episode 2 Part 2 will drop on Christmas Eve in the U.S. as a stocking stuffer from the makers at Chariotdrive. Merry Christmas!
I love this.
I love that Freeman isn't a one man army, the security guard helps quite a bit here, which would make sense, Gordon isn't a guard, only a scientist.
I love the look of complete trauma on Gordon's face, amazing work from the actor. G-man being here is also a nice touch.
The effects on the zombie were grossly good.
There's not much to criticize here, AMAZING work.
Robbie thanks very much.

Awesome!! I am wearing my HEV suit in anticipation :D
You grasped the essence of Half-Life, fantastic work, I could watch a full length movie from you. You can count on my support, thanks for the great work.
