Why one of ordinals is missing radio on his back? Why do ordinals use SMGs instead of rifles? How did dropship pod managed to fit so many soldiers? Why don't these zombies have headcrabs on them? Pulse SMGs usually don't glow (idk why yours do) These shots should be fired by strider from his nose, not from his bottom cannon (which is a tank-like cannon)
The combine soldiers are using the only complete combine gun available in the entire Half Life Alyx asset base, there are no 'smg' or 'rifle' variants. I think the drop pod could easily fit 5 people, if not 8. Combines are brainwashed soldiers and comfort is not cared for, they can sardine pack a pod pretty easily. The zombies are xen creatures - I will make a video elaborating on their design. They are similar to a xen creature in Half Life Alyx, Jeff - who also does not have a head crab. The guns aren't glowing there is a light on the chest of every soldier. The radio not being on the back was a bug with S2FM, it deleted the backpack from the model. I did not see this as an issue as there are already variants within the combine- why not have an officer without a radio? And for the strider cannon - sure in the future I will use the correct barrel.
Same I’ve always preferred the combine over rebels like rebels have no mercy they just kill any kind of combine on sight while combine give warnings first
The strider is just amazing And I like to combine because Their point of view the want to get materials for a ever growing empire and the armor set is really cool
Looks great, except for the fact that the strider doesn't rapid fire small projectiles from it's warp cannon and most of those zombies have no headcrabs unless your trying to make up your own infection or something.
what's weird about is that sometimes the soldiers say random lines that doesn't relate to what is happening. Like when one of the ordinals said "Overwatch code 10-4, viscerator out." which means he deployed a manhack but he didn't deploy one while he was also just holding his position with the strider.
The animation here is amazing! It's too bad that it's really heavily hindered by the terrible camera work. Having the camera attached to the torso of the soldiers just made for a terrible viewing experience. If you were able to re-shoot it with fixed camera angles, I really believe that the film would drastically improve in quality. Also, it's a tad nitpicky but the soldiers leave from the wrong side of the dropship. You could have easily fixed this by just having the camera cut to either a from behind view or just by jumping ahead in time to the dropship leaving and a close up of the soldiers. Also the drop ship flew in way too fast it was kind of weird looking. On a more positive note, the sound design was fantastic and I really enjoyed the premise. I loved the creative liberties you took with removing the oxygen tanks and replacing them with lights, the light placement scene was bad ass. The combine terminal screen you made was SICK, like genuinely really cool. I was amazed by it. The choice in scenery and custom animations were overall very good. There were moments such as 2:45 where the custom animation was noticeable and a bit janky, but even still very well done. I know just how hard a custom animation like that is and you did a good job with it. Overall, you're a great animator and I hope you continue with your work, however, I really suggest looking up lessons on how to do camera work because the camera here was jarring, confusing, and detracted heavily from the experience. The best moments of the film were the ones where the camera stayed in one place.
The camera definitely sucked in this lol definitely something i did not like looking back, stay tuned for some more hl animations with alot more time put into them :)
although i love the animation , in some parts it is very nauseating like the camera being attached to the soldiers,bunch of flashy lights, i rlly think it looks good but maybe use less flashy lights and less jittery movements when you attach the camera to the soldiers? anyways all i have to say is that the beginiig and the strider parts look good, the dropship is a bit fast (needs to slow down much earlier when landing) over all looks great
That poor grunt tho... Got crabbed and he fucking pulls out a grenade to blow himself up! That's fucking unfortunate, scary and sad... But hey I guess that's better than being forced to be alive for years with your guts hanging out..
Osea la zona de cuarentena, es una zona afectada por la guerra de la invasión combine , ruina de uso de infección de plaga xen y combate de disminuir la plaga , whao sería genial ver más City 17 y los daños afectados y las demás ciudades de otros países.
I'm assuming there's two Ordinals because you wanted someone more elite than an Echo. If that's the case there's a Source 2 version of your regular Overwatch soldier and they may fit better than two command units in the future. Also this animation is stellar, just great

cringe
@@wilsonchristian42 how is asking questions cringe?
@@timur5241 i think he meant its too in depth and its jut an animation and we shoudnt dive too deep into lore
Also why are there two ordinals?
I grew attached to these Combine soldiers and was relieved that most of them got out alive. Am I a bad guy?
No. You just have sympathy.
Same I’ve always preferred the combine over rebels like rebels have no mercy they just kill any kind of combine on sight while combine give warnings first
@@Mini-wd7qz it’s a false sense of security tactic, do you know what the combine do to prisoners? Torture
If only the saxxies were still a thing
Theyre not?!?
i thought saxxies were tf2 only...i might be wrong
@@lilslayer811 Yea their for tf2 sfms. You get a saxton hale trophy...
Quite good work here! Combine soldiers would make such a great game!
Have you heard of Entropy:Zero?
There is a game being worked on called Citadel. I assume we officially play as a combine soldier.
i like this alot, what stands out to me is the camera angles that are in real movies where it looks like a gopro strap
So weird to be relieved to see a Strider, awesome work.
The strider is just amazing
And I like to combine because
Their point of view the want to get materials for a ever growing empire and the armor set is really cool
1:22 that looks so good!
I want an entire series now
One is in the works
@@ryanwilhelm45 oh hell yeah! This is amazing
You just earned a subscriber.
🇺🇸 God bless the enclave
Looks great, except for the fact that the strider doesn't rapid fire small projectiles from it's warp cannon and most of those zombies have no headcrabs unless your trying to make up your own infection or something.
Strider save coming in clutch.

Animations is rough, but camera work is awesome
I think now i understand why s2fm is better than sfm
So underrated
Bro this was amazing. Holy f this deserves so much more views!
Amazing work! Now I’m getting excited for HL Stasis
Really love the shots in this
that's an interesting way to use the camera

Ya the camera work is def too crazy in some parts. I fixed that along with improving alot of my lighting in this new series im working on.
Feels like blackwatch
Underrated channel
Cool, I also did things in SFM in Quarantine 😎👍
Awesome work
Very good job man
I wish i could see more of this!
welldone!
Great film. I really want a Half Life game where you play as the combine and level up and do raids and stuff like this, so good. 9/10.
Same
This is really cool and I love it! I wanna see a whole movie or game like this.
Dead body without Headcrab.
Combine soldiers voice in hl alyx looks like combine soldiers voice in hl2 beta
Wait one of the head crab zombie dose not have a head crab 3:07 can someone tell me why?
That poor grunt tho... Got crabbed and he fucking pulls out a grenade to blow himself up! That's fucking unfortunate, scary and sad... But hey I guess that's better than being forced to be alive for years with your guts hanging out..

This would make for a bad ass game!
@Qagmez 7668 Don’t worry bro, I’m playing the shit out of R6:extraction.
not going to lie i thought jeff was going to come lol
surprised this only has a few views
zombie headcrabs without headcrabs yeah people did animation but did not know what a headcrab is
I'm assuming there's two Ordinals because you wanted someone more elite than an Echo. If that's the case there's a Source 2 version of your regular Overwatch soldier and they may fit better than two command units in the future.
Also this animation is stellar, just great
This is amazing!
Im pretty sure the combine would have the foresight to give the team built in Night vision
Oh cool 😎 that is hard job
gut
Strider sayed radio's clean
Dead Necrotics 2
Почему некоторые зомби без хедкрабов?

Inspired by republic commando
Oh absolutely I took alot of inspiration from this kickass trailer. ua-cam.com/video/rsH8LAb-5qQ/v-deo.html
@@ryanwilhelm45 yeah I could tell, rc is my childhood game

Do they actually use drop ships in Alyx, never seen them.
You can see a few fly overhead but i dont think it ever dropped combine off like hl2.
Hmm….
