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.
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
I really liked how competent you made the security guard. It's like Freeman is learning from him. That makes sense because some nerdy scientist would not become a one man army in the blink of an eye. Excellent job!
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!
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.
It was so accurately what Half-Life was about, everything matched in a modern manner, the costumes were really great, I never really realised what a real life HEV would look like but you guys nailed it, and that dude, he is Gordon, he matches at 100 % the wrong man in the wrong place, realistic, no utter badassery, just a well geared survivor. I can't believe how few views it has for what it is, every dude who once awaited for an episode 3 or a sequel to Half-Life should watch it. 40 000 views in 5 years is scandalous.
@@007spudman 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
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
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
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.
the HEV suit looks so perfect, it looks bulky (which most wouldn't like) but it makes sense because it's meant to be PROTECTIVE! it looks comfy and has that charm that the Michael Keaton Batman costume has (the one with the big connected shoulders) the HEV looks like it could take a hit, it's so sturdy looking. even though IRL the costume would probably be SUPER delicate.
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...
Man, I love the details in this movie that call back to the iconic events of the game. The dialogue "Is he the one to sabotage, maybe?" I remember hearing that dialogue in the game just before we engage. I love that dialogue! Also, the faint workings of the HEV suit demonstrating its functions. LOVE IT! Freeman really looks Freeman!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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 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!!!
Arno Rexhepi 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.
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 !
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 absolutely love the work you put into this. I've been a Half-Life fan for, well, about Half of my life (put kinda intended) and this was just amazing to see, especially as a sequel to episode one of this series. I love the realism and the atmosphere of this. This is what Black Mesa would really look like; and the acting is great too! Keep it up!!!
Merry Christmas Skoot Ski ! The Freeman Chronicles Episode 2 Part 2 is coming this Christmas Eve, please accept this gift from all of us at Chariotdrive!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
Hehe, very nice touch to include those in-game soldier quotes at 4:48.
This was definitely worth all the waiting for it to be released. Great quality and content. Looking forward to the next part!
Cheers!
Can't wait for Xen!
yes we see us again in 4- 5 years :)
Worth.
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.
I really liked how competent you made the security guard. It's like Freeman is learning from him. That makes sense because some nerdy scientist would not become a one man army in the blink of an eye. Excellent job!
I can't believe he got Reynolds to come back for a new episode 5 years later just to kill him after 4 seconds of screen time lmao
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!

love how they gave gordon a friend so he isnt just standing there staring dead eyed at everyone he meets
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.
@@007spudman 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
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
holy crap i didnt think it was possible to give gordon a slightly ok voice but oh my god the nailed it.
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
"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

The fuckin hiv suit
@@beneb4889 oops haha
hiv suit
the HEV suit looks so perfect, it looks bulky (which most wouldn't like) but it makes sense because it's meant to be PROTECTIVE!
it looks comfy and has that charm that the Michael Keaton Batman costume has (the one with the big connected shoulders)
the HEV looks like it could take a hit, it's so sturdy looking. even though IRL the costume would probably be SUPER delicate.
he almost got heatstroke on set.
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.
I'd assume we shouldn't expect an episode 3?
Great work as always :^)
episode 4 or episode 2 part 2
"The world is ending, and I feel... nothing..."
Dang, this line gave me chills
6:40
When the scientist said “Freeman,” THE VALVE STARTUP THEME KICKED UP. INSANE ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
Cheers
Love what you guys are doing!!!! Please dont let it die!
Thank you
DigitalMusicXpress ! New episode drops on 12/24/18 a little stocking stuffer for you from all of us at Chariotdrive
I am in love! Absolutely awesome :D I shared this like a thousand times or so XD
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.

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!
Watched back in 2017, huge fan. A dream came true when I watched episode 2. Excellent production. Highest respects!
Thanks so much. You are who we made this for.

I remember hearing that dialogue in the game just before we engage. I love that dialogue! Also, the faint workings of the HEV suit demonstrating its functions. LOVE IT!
Freeman really looks Freeman!
this is better than 90% of netflix
Thanks
This series deserves way more attention, the amount of effort that've gone into these goes up there with Netflix, imo
thanks
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
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 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.
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...
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.

Yeah and the fact this is a decent movie with low budget is incredible
"it feels so long, yet i still doesn't realize."
Every Half-Life fan just screamed like a fangirl!
Yup, same here
I love that I found this holy shit
You must wear your Black Mesa ID during the apocalypse at ALL TIMES.
Just like your passport
true
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.
The sheer level of detail you put into this is absolutely incredible. This looks like a high budget Hollywood film.
Thanks!
wow, they actually use the sound effects from game and some in-game audio! incredible!
Thanks
SO much better than i expected 😍😍 and i love the fact that you guys used the ingame HECU conversation 😂❤
finally a good recommendation after 2 years
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.
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
Rewatching this 6 years later. It still holds up good.
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
