I like the phrasing “Overwatch is ‘requesting’ all units refresh and resolve. Cognitive dissonance will not be tolerated” and “updated live; acceptance is mandatory.” Interesting use of “requesting” when they have absolutely no control over what’s happening. I wonder why they chose that.
@@Xxbenjee41xX Kind of hypocritical euphemism regulary use by the Combine, like "familly cohesion preserved" meaning that they don't execute all your relatives. "Dissociation from civic populace" is in the same theme, it just mean brutal execution.
1:03 is a reference to Nova Prospekt from HL2. In that level you can hear the Combine soldier in charge starting to panic slightly as the Antlions overrun the prison and say "uh negative. No sector containment, no confirmation on target, uh one vector. We have secondary perimeter overruns, what is the ETA on that Skyshield drop?" I thought it was really cool how they referenced a line from Nova Prospekt when the Combine are getting ready to fight Antlions again, but made the context slightly different e.g. "secondary parameter codes" instead of "secondary perimeter overruns".
Fun fact: Combine soldiers Usually dont say "Uh" when reporting to overwatch/Other units due to their brainwashed states, But in Nova prospekt case, They are so panicked,They have troubles speaking.
I believe their voice modulators change depending on whether they're speaking over radio or speaking to a citizen. In the elevator scene their voices seem pretty clear. They also yell at you sometimes to try to trick you and their voices are pretty easy to hear
Dont forget that all the captains have a serious case of butter fingers and they dropped their voice boxes in water. Thats also why they dont use grenades because they cant be trusted to have one without dropping it
Apparently that's essentially what the lore for these gen 1 combine was Initially had a lot of specialization, but was eventually phased out for a more standardized cyberization style to save on resources and make the 'onboarding process' simpler
honestly if/when valve makes another half life game i hope they keep many of the changes we see in hla as retcons, i love the little bits of personality and flair that each soldier type has in alyx. before hla the combine were just reskinned stormtroopers but hla made combine soldiers kinda badass in my eyes
@@artimus4198 i think the problem with hl2's combine is a lot of that is lost in how the game presents them. fights in alyx are slower with the enemies closer to you, which along with some extra scripted sequences and less distorted voices makes these details easier to notice. hl2 has much less of that, so the combine just end up being generic soldiers in masks who get killed by the hundreds unless you really want to pay attention to their dialogue
Real special forces barely speak in combat, and when they do, it's usually whispers or soft but normal conversation. They use hand signals and lip reading. But it makes perfect sense why the Combine elites wouldn't operate like that. They're more disposable, and Overwatch wants to know exactly what they're up to. Forces like the SEALs, SPETSNAZ, Delta Force, etc, operate with a tremendous emphasis on the individuals operating independently. Overwatch is a hivemind.
The combine is a massive hive covering countless universes and realities, and they have a system where they can mass produce units and just send them in hordes
I mean if you see combat footage of special forces they're screaming loud as hell, you think whispers or lip reading mid combat works? Combat is already loud as hell. Scream all you want
Lip reading doesn't work with a mask on, so it wouldn't be an option for the combine either. Hand signals are used by combine, however it is still in tandem with actual speech.
As much as I know about hand signals , they are not that often used because of the amount of complexity that can be put into learning the hand signs , as far as I know militaries only use basic hand signals like "halt" or directional signs
It seems that compared to hl 2, these voices have even less emotion. With the standard soldiers it felt like there may have been something there, through the monotone and deliberately concise speech, some semblance of suppressed humanity may have existed. Here it's as though the slate has been wiped clean and a corpse and a DOS computer combined to make a living entity. It's chilling almost
It might be because of this particular combine's high rank. A common piece of fanon lore used in stories and roleplay is that the higher a combine rises in the ranks, the more brainwashed they become. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case here, since the devs seemed to have incorporated a lot of popular fanon lore into the game.
@@shadowslayer205 It's not a fan theory, there's models in HL2 showing Overwatch soldiers half augmented. And the announcement system mentions CP officers can be modified for more privileges.
I think they just sound more calm and collected because they have a higher rank and are therefore probably more professional and level headed than the average grunts. Just my take on it.

i always(and still do) believe that the vocoder the combine use is descrambled by their helmets, so combine soldiers can hear eachother perfectly normally(albeit maybe a bit more radio-y than normal) while hostiles/rebels are unable to understand what theyre planning
Okay so here is an idea. So from this point until half life alyx we have seen the combine radios as very professional in most cases. I feel like if there is to be another main line half life 2 game there needs to be a moment or scene of all of the professionality breaking loose, so basically the combine is freaking out because of something. Just a thought but it might be chilling in game.
They aren't "professional" Overwtach troops are brainwashed cyborgs, they can't really loose their shit or totally freak out. Civil Protections do, as they are regular humans serving the Combine.
All Combine soldiers can be whatever, at that point, they have all passed through the transhumanist process, they are stripped off the organs that the combine deem unnecessary, these being, digestive system and REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM so males get castrated, and females get their uterus ripped out. They also have their vocal cords replaced by an electronic voice box, that’s why they speak like this. They also get lobotomised so ad far as they are concerned, they were always like that.
i wonder why the Ordinal sometimes sounds effortlessly menacing and cool like in the lines in this video but then other times the line delivery sounds so awkward and forced even with all the filters
You can hear how the combine modified the normal grunts not as much as him, because the Grunts still have a slight human voice but the Ordinals sound really bad like they have been heavily modified to be completely loyal to the combine.
The voice actually sounds quite similar in style to the Black Mesa announcer. I'm sure there's no canonical reasoning behind that, but I bet behind the scenes it was intentional.

After looking at the comments, I am really pissed that no one didn't know the voice actor was involved in Power Rangers back in 1996. I'll give you a hint: Female, Alien, Leader.
@@l4dfanatic11 Did you learn how to do voice broken like Ordinal? Kind of like when a teenager's voice breaks down and they get jumps because of it. If you know what I mean.
The voice actress (yes, the Ordinal is voiced by a woman) lives in America but is of Scottish-Lebanese descent. She has a bit of a hybrid accent. It's mostly American sounding, but she uses some UK English pronunciations for certain words.
It's a group of people in VRChat that get combine avatars and voice changers and just go around doing combine things Sometimes they will get attacked by rebels It's really fun and I would suggest it if you like The Combine and VRChat
I never get to attend to actual role plays or functions due to me working weekends and times they do them. But thankfully the creator of the voice mod taught me how to rig it and use it! So now I can sound like CPs from HL2 and a Grunt and Ordinal from Alyx! It's so fun.
The Ordinal has no remaining emotion in its voice (most modified combine unit to make it the best at commanding other units) The Wallhammer sounds gargled (fitting with the fact that they need to carry heavy weight and their movement looks uncomfortable) The Suppressor sounds angry (their objective is to provoke the enemy and put pressure on them to make them move out of cover) The Grunt speaks clearly and makes mistakes on some of the codes (they are the least modified, still having some of their old memory and humanity in them, even fearing death)
They are the predecessor to combine shotgunners and combine elites in the sense that they are squad leaders, shotgunners being squad leaders in smaller operations like patrols outside of cities, and elites being squad leaders in larger operations like full on assaults like the battle at white forest.
That doesn’t make sense, Alyx only takes place six years before HL2, you really expect me to believe the combine changed that much? I’m actually a bit worried HLA is gonna retcon a bunch of things.
No matter how brainwashed they are, and get, I think there is somewhat a personality and maybe some memories involving their past ranks as an overwatch soldier. Some lines prove this, For example 3:16

in general i do like the hl2 combine sounds better but these ordinal sound effects would have been cool on the overwatch soldiers since they are much more heavily augmented
I disagree, I like both equally. The ordinals sound like they were the first prototype-batches of soldiers with completely clean slates and augmented lobes. It's extremely rough around the edges, but they clearly give the grunts better coordination, and so the combine refined and tweaked them. Im not an expert on HL Lore but to me I believe Ordinals are the one step below your HL2 soldiers, as those clearly don't require a commander, and work in perfect sync.

Btw someone should make a IRL police chatter mod with human voices...sounds like they burped while talking.
we're doing a combine ordinal voice changer
in general i do like the hl2 combine sounds better but these ordinal sound effects would have been cool on the overwatch soldiers since they are much more heavily augmented
@@PryzmMusic the hl2 voices are more dull imo
I disagree, I like both equally. The ordinals sound like they were the first prototype-batches of soldiers with completely clean slates and augmented lobes. It's extremely rough around the edges, but they clearly give the grunts better coordination, and so the combine refined and tweaked them. Im not an expert on HL Lore but to me I believe Ordinals are the one step below your HL2 soldiers, as those clearly don't require a commander, and work in perfect sync.
can you make a all weapon sounds video
