The 7 Hour War - Every 20 minutes | Mapping | Half Life Lore

In may of 200X, Black Mesa experimented with a crystal that would bring forth a resonance cascade, causing flora and fauna from a borderworld known as "Xen". Portal storms would rip open and this Xen flora and fauna would spread all over the planet we call Earth. Meanwhile, an interdimensional empire known as the "Combine" saw these portal storms and took advantage of them, invading Earth and crushing their forces in a mere 7 hours. Humanity would only be "saved" by Wallace Breen, who negotiated with the Combine, bringing Earth under an administrative district of the Combine. Humanity would be ruled under an extremely suppressive dictatorship for many years to come...

Hope you like this video! Just wanted to go back to mapping and do something different for once! This is a fictitious scenario and never actually happened!

[@Mr_Blah]

If the combine invaded in real life I would have to call my friend Kevin

[@SireDutchball]

Forget Gordon Freeman or Alyx Vance, Kevin here about to no dif defeat the combine WITHOUT a crowbar or a revolution

[@KevinGhidor_uh]

Probably not me but I have the incentive silly urge to reply

[@maelstorm3634]

“KEVIN!” -Combine’s words that change humanity forever…

[@heisenfaust]

@Mr_Blah no, better call Saul

[@jaredjosephsongheng372]

Hopefully it's Kevin Kaslana from Honkai Impact 3rd.
Dude's gaze alone would have absolutely destroyed the Invading covenant forces

[@Birdiebobehite]

Man in orange teletubbie suit with crowbar destroys empire

[@CatSmuggler1]

[@A_Combine_Elite]

[@falconcorbin3830]

So you have changed the all mighty amarican people? Good fucking luck lad!

[@C.A._Old]

@@falconcorbin3830 jeez

[@Dominic-di6nr]

Combine will be sure to never attack the penguins in Antarctica, they are such a fearful opponent to ever be laid on the combine empire.

[@DogDogGodFog]

Poland holding on for so long sounds very unrealistic, lol
(Saying this as a Pole)

[@kiriko72mikiri]

I suppose it's because the Combines never gave a greater strike force in those areas of Europe, for Europe alone is the least devastated continent

stary słyszałeś o westerplatte? jakby takich walecznych ludzi było więcej to bym się nie zdziwił :1 września 1939 r. o godz. 4:48 niemiecki okręt Schleswig-Holstein dokonał ostrzału Wojskowej Składnicy Tranzytowej, rozpoczynając tym samym II wojnę światową. Bohaterska obrona Westerplatte, prowadzona przez przeszło 200 żołnierzy pod dowództwem mjr. Henryka Sucharskiego, trwała aż 7 dni. Niemcy rzucili do walki ok. 3 tys. żołnierzy, wspartych działami i artylerią pokładową wspomnianego okrętu. Polscy obrońcy przetrzymali huraganowy ostrzał z lądu, powietrza i wody. Walczyli w całkowitym otoczeniu - bez chwili wypoczynku, dostępu do bieżącej wody i ciepłego posiłku. Ostatecznie w trakcie lub w wyniku walk poległo 15 polskich żołnierzy, a kilkunastu zostało rannych i kontuzjowanych. Z powodu miażdżącej przewagi najeźdźcy i braku perspektyw na odsiecz oraz ze względu na potencjalne dalsze straty Polacy 7 września o godz. 10.15 zdecydowali poddać placówkę.

Real question:
How the hell does Xen support life?

[@SireDutchball]

Because Gordon didn’t need to hear all of this, he was a trained professional

"Dude get the Crowbar"

[@agustinarguello9129]

But... Humanity didn't even have time! Restart the server! Xd

[@relcomrade]

if humanity was prepared, then maybe humanity would last 8 hours

[@FBManimations]

1:18 I can see French people on internet saying "yes we changed our capital 5 times in the last 20 minutes and almost lost all our mainland, but we ain't gonna surrender or the americans will never shut up about it! Come on, we can outlast the rest of the world in New Caledonia!"
1:27 "see? Not a single defeat in the last 30 minutes. Well yeah we didn't fight for St pierre and Miquelon so we didn't lose a battle if there was no battle"
1:29 "so, we lost our Caribbean islands and they're arriving in Oceania, but... I don't know what to say lol f*ck this I'll just sleep and see if I wake up"
1:47 "come on how the heII does Spain still exist?"

[@vietnamfnf6162]

If only the xen and humans cooperated

[@SireDutchball]

Maybe they would’ve lasted 8 hours

[@DvNAssaultMain]

​@@SireDutchballor 7 hours and 20

[@TheExpertProcrastinator]

@@DvNAssaultMain jokes on you, if we had alex/half demon/half angle/hot/eyes turn red when mad/carries katana/singal/cute/nice on our side humanity would have held out 8 hours
also this is poking fun at the braindead people who go into like "ADPOT AND RAISE BABY!1!!" and set their name to this

[@OnionIlan]

Basically some companies make portals and aliens came from those portals and take over humanity, correct me if I’m wrong

[@countryball-enjoyer]

@@OnionIlan why didn’t humanity use nukes?

[@SireDutchball]

@@OnionIlan That is a huge oversimplification but yes.

[@SireDutchball]

@@countryball-enjoyerthe alien empire was far more technologically advanced than us, having far greater numbers as well
