but seriously breens train of thought was transhumanism, eventually humanities best would become "immortal" thus the species would live on as part of the combine

Yeah, his speeches were more interesting part of the game.

The combine stopped certain enzymes from forming which prevented babies, it didn't stop people from fucking as far as we know.

Didn't the suppression field prevent embrional development or something like that? Still, you could argue that the oppressive conditions inflicted on the humans indirectly prevented them from engaging in sexual activity.

>talking about game lore which you know nothing about
Nu-Yea Forums

I just looked it up on Half Life wiki so I am now expert.
Breen's speech makes it sound like it stops urge to bang but Episode 1 dialog says it prevent embyro development.
But resistence fighters talk about wanting to mate so it seems like they still have urge...

>But resistence fighters talk about wanting to mate so it seems like they still have urge
isnt that after the field was taken down
"when this is over i'm gonna mate"

the breencasts imply that the suppression field kills the sex drive like chemical castration while dr kleiner's speech in episode 1 only refers to embryonic development
so it could be either or both.

It suppressed urges as well
The civilians were drugged to be apathetic to everything.

I think it did something to sperm production.
Dr kliner said something about it but he cut himself off.

Probably both. Breen’s speech denounced sexual urges so it’d make sense for that to be suppressed, but it’d also make sense for the Combine to make sure reproduction was also physically impossible to prevent anyone from reproducing even without sexual urges.

Question is if it surpressed sexual urges did it also surpress romance.

This is why halfkife was always stupid

what exactly is stupid about the concept of a city where people are stopped from reproducing?

Ahead of their time. Valve is planning out something big.

Man, 2009 was an incredible year. Half-Life 2 Episode Three was a true milestone, well worth the two year wait after Episode Two.

Dont forget the water. It makes you forget and probably a docile crazy person. Remember the train station.

>Were you the only ones on that train? Overwatch stopped our train in the woods and took my husband for questioning. They said he’d be on the next train. I’m not sure when that was. They’re being nice, though, letting me wait for him.

Does Breen has a mistress? Or does he jacked off to Combine VR porn?

Breen was based and redpilled and saw the long game. He is the only human that saw the real combine worlds and how resistance was futile. He manages to convince the combine of human worth and becoming part of the galactic empire.
People are butthurt because combined ones become blobs of neurons and fat but when you are a flying tech-enhanced lifeform that can bend reality around them who cares about being a blob of fat.

>wanting to be a grub
BreenGrub twitter actually shows why mind uploading is a pretty terrifying concept. BreenGrub can’t be sure if his own mind is intact and hasn’t been edited and modified by the Combine.

They were drugging the water to make people forgetful, they probably were drugged to make them forget their loved ones.
Though during the Civil Protection raids, Gordon can see a couple comforting each other.

>a flying tech-enhanced lifeform that can bend reality around
Breen didn't get any of that. He was just left in storage as a basic maggot.

Breen must have seen some really terrifying things

I thought it was hinted that there is no "combine race". The combine are a process rather than an entity. A faceless algorithm that perpetuates itself. Something that embodies the idea of life, on all scales, but is no single entity itself.

Kinda like the thing from The Thing, but in space, and a civilization rather than a life form. Intelligent space cancer.

Congrats, you destroyed one sphere out of the four hundred thirty seven under the supervision of the local middle manager. Truly you have greatly inconvenienced the Combine Empire by putting that manager’s career back by about twenty three earth years.

>it turns out the whole thing was because some rival middle manager in the Combine bureaucracy machine hired G-man to sabotage a coworker to get better odds of a promotion

Annnd... BTFO.

I really wish we at least got an Episode 3 that ended with the humans managing to completely cut-off Earth from the Combine empire. No victory over the Combine but basically reclaiming Earth as their own. Any attempt to defeat the Combine or explain gman would probably be less satisfying than just never touching on them.

I think that was the original vision, at least for Laidlaw and most of the old guard.

Some of the unverifiable rumors surrounding cancelled projects include a Half-Life 3 project that fell apart around 2015 partly because of a fight between newer and older employees triggered by the newer employees wanting to explain the Gman.

Was that really what caused the fight? That sounds horrible.

Unverifiable rumors and hearsay, so who knows? A lot of the hearsay about the inner workings of Valve could just be larpers or guys trying to bait VNN or something, but some of it is pretty believable given what can be known from actual interviews and stuff like glassdoor reviews.

I hope we get Project Borealis by the end of next year.
It's the closest thing we'll get.

>because of a fight between newer and older employees triggered by the newer employees wanting to explain the Gman.
laidlaw and valve had no fucking idea about the gman and painted themselves into a corner
thats why gabe, laidlaw and the rest spergs out when you ask about it

Make gman an agent for another combine faction allready synthisized with the nihilianth race trying to prevent the ones occupying earth from getting teleport tech so the combine power balance doesn't shift
there i fixed your shit

Don't forget Boreal Aleph.

This could have just been an user larping, but bringing it up because we should have strong evidence for whether it was real or not within a few weeks:

1. The upcoming "flagship VR game" is not going to be Half-Life, it's going to be a game centered around the F-stop mechanic from the development of Portal 2
2. Half-Life 2 Episode Three pretty much died for F-stop. The "free wheels" policy at Valve led a lot of people working on Episode Three to abandon it in favor of working on F-stop and other more experimental projects.
3. Because of how Valve "works," Episode Three was never formally cancelled, and it still kept going with a tiny skeleton crew even into 2012 when these last guys gave up and the last programmer went to work on VR stuff instead.
4. Episode Three was about "20% done" in 2007.

Why didn't they ever complete Hal-Life (Episode 3) to make a shitload of money off the pure hype? It would have sold like crack cocaine.

1. They already make tons of money off steam, no point in making something "just" for money.
2. Valve doesn't believe in management and tells its employees to self-organize. If the resulting employee "hivemind" decides to not work on something, it doesn't get worked on.

>1. The upcoming "flagship VR game" is not going to be Half-Life, it's going to be a game centered around the F-stop mechanic from the development of Portal 2
I fucking hate the portal series
shits boring and takes to much dev time

3. The employee "hivemind" can be incredibly out of touch with the larger game market and community. Examples:
- the Portal devs thought the falling hoop would be the biggest meme of the game
- the Portal 2 space sphere was based on an internal meme of a goldfish wanting to go to the aquarium that no one outside the company got
- Artifact

do we need to know who the gman is, though? All we can glean is that he's likely some interdimensional eldritch abomination boogeyman pulling strings for higher powers, and that's really all that's needed in terms of establishing his character and his motivations. HL as a series does a really good job at showing a few details or presenting ideas and concepts, and then letting your imagination fill in the blanks, IMO doing a tell-all on the gman would go against this in the worst possible way.

This would be huge if it were true since I dont know how VNN never got around to covering it in his "leaks". Just to play around and assume this is true though, I hope if such a game were to exist it would just be its own thing, I don't feel like we need anymore Portal games since 2 ended just fine.

They literally make a joke about Gordon and Alyx repopulating the earth.

Thanks, now I dont need to post

Mind explaining further? I thought the game just left all of it entirely ambiguous.

I always liked to think that the combine themselves are dead and the people they conquered have no idea and are being controlled by their 'overwatch' that voice that speaks all the time.

hl3 was gonna have gordon going to the borealis, then using the lost experiment tech. Which happens to be a time machine portal. Goes back in time to black mesa then goes to stop the experiment only to have been the one who cause it to fuck up (behind the scenes). The gman puts you in stasis and says "let's see how better you do this time around". Smiling, he shoes footage from hl1-3 as more and more footage comes across the screen showing the endless cycle of gordons failing

The games themselves leave things ambiguous, but Laidlaw posted a series of tweets under the account "BreenGrub," which was his own little "fanfiction" to sketch out more Combine lore. In the tweets, a version of Wallace Breen stored inside a Shu'ulathoi grub tries to explain the backstory of the Shu'ulathoi and his own current predicament in very abstract and indirect terms.

These are my personal interpretations/summaries of what I think the tweets tell us; others may disagree/I may have got some stuff wrong:
- In the larval stage, Shu'ulathoi are incredibly intelligent and psychic, and built a whole culture of mental constructs that they swap between themselves; they try to keep themselves in the larval stage since their minds degrade if they enter the adult stage, which is only used for reproduction
- A "mental virus" appeared that could wipe out Shu'ulathoi minds, and this caused the Shu'ulathoi to fracture into isolated communities to try to quarantine the infection
- The Combine discovered the Shu'ulathoi and came for the virus, using it to wipe Shu'ulathoi minds and integrate them into the Combine hierarchy as biological computers; some of the Shu'ulathoi managed to escape notice due to the quarantines
- Breen's mind was regularly uploaded into Shu'ulathoi grubs in order to have regular backup copies; however the process is imperfect and involves corruptions, and these various Breens are becoming increasingly paranoid because they can't trust their own memories haven't become corrupt or tampered by the Combine
- Breen thinks there is some hope to cripple the Combine by targeting their Shu'ulathoi, possibly through some sort of alliance between the free Shu'ulathoi that managed to escape the Combine's notice and the Vortigaunts

I understand a chad like Gordon but why Alyx? It's going to corrupt the entire gene pool with terrible self preservation and an inability to consider moving their stupid asses out of doorways.

You're a goddamn hero.

That might have been due to a rumored HL3 project that began around 2013 and fell part around 2015. In 2014 the employees might have been overly optimistic and thought they were actually going to successfully finish and ship it.

Our master is benevolent!

There have probably been dozens of HL3 projects that started and died over the years.

Right before the failed 2013-2015 HL3, there seems to have been another HL3 that had traction that was being worked on around 2011-2013; false optimism over that one was probably what led Gabe Newell to do the "these things, they take time" cameo in Clang's kickstarter video in 2012.

That seems to describe Xen pretty well, and considering that you e.g. see mantas literally appearing out of thin air it's probably fair to say that there's a a lot more going on behind the scenes.

That doesn't seem like something Kleiner would do.

Because the lungfish made that advancement on its own, bravely and boldly enfranchising itself and itself alone rather than seeking help from the already landed creatures, the lungfish did not give away its freedom nor its natural existence for this ability.

Actually, according to the Combine radio chatter stuff it's outlawed to have for normal citizens. Only Metrocops can get it and even then it's simulated because they aren't gonna get the real thing. It's just another way for the Combine to break down on people thus why when only the citadel is down do they make the Alyx and Gordon fucking joke because it's realistically possible they can do it without any issues coming from it.

"Raising the Bar" includes an anecdote about a conversation between Gabe and a prospective concept artist where they got really excited talking about ideas on using sexual imagery to terrify the player, plus some concept art of an enemy called "Mr. Happy" that would "rape the player to death."

As it should be.

So what are the universes the combine invade? What is the nature of them? Are they all parallel diverging off different paths of history? Or perhaps with different physics and are more align wth Xen?

Huh, that;s actually neat. Thanks user.

Aside from the fact that Eli for sure already knows, he himself tries to set Alyx and Gordon up.

How the fuck did he ever do that?

In EP2 he makes a comment to Alyx about her and Gordon and then says something to her like "now that the suppression field is down we all have to do our part"

Suppression field stopped conception, not sex.

I would imagine the metro cops started shitting their pants when the citadel fell and started to beat up the nearest Overwatch soldier. I mean, they are just volunteers that got paid in food and pleasure.

Most probably sign up because standard rations probably cant feed a family, hence why in Episode 1 they're ditching the combine and are trying to get out of City 17 and away from the rebels. Look what happened to French girls who married the Nazi invaders, they fear a similar fate to their wives and daughters.
Not that its undeserved

>Look what happened to French girls who married the Nazi invaders

HEV suit aiding him probably.
Perhaps some unseen help from G-man

>what is hev training program
they were used to go into xen after all

City 17's police force either deserted their posts and blended into the rest of the citizenry escaping the citadel's reach or took up arms as their own faction trying to escape through force. At the end of Episode 1 the policemen you fight are attempting to steal the refugee trains.

The police are also not mentioned or seen in Episode 2 so it can be assumed that the force was disbanded completely with all humans not directly serving within the combine overwatch killed on sight.

Gun nerd as well as physics nerd. People can have more than one interest.

Gman guided his bullets even the ones that miss

>Gman was actually the player all along.
It all makes sense.

Nah, Ep 1 alot of the force is clearly trying to make a stand from the rebels, and likely from the combine due to the luxuries they provided can no longer be guaranteed.
Most without families who can be identified as traitors would have either joined the rebellion or skipped town and went to live in a comfy cabin in the woods.

but at the same time those genes would cause them to be near invincible which means so long as gordon is a good father, humanity could have a race of unkillable child soldiers

>HEV suit aiding him probably.
>suit constantly having to repeat instructions for basic reload drills
>"pull charging handle back. No, twist it at the end so it stays locked. Press magazine release. Insert loaded magazine. Bring charging handle forward. Warning: your safety is ON."
And that's not even covering firearms not registered in Black Mesa's training program, let alone how it would distinguish an MP5 from an MP7. FUCK, it registers a goddamn jury-rigged crossbow and a common crowbar as a weapon

Oi Vey remember the six billion vortiguants

Maybe they thought this was just a set back and getting the fuck out of dodge meant they would get back to being cops in another city.

Um, there wasn't even 6 billion vortigaunts in Xen at the time

I think you skipped the part where you are the first line of defense against the rebellion and sent to keep shitty sewer outposts, have no weapon or military training, which mean you are often targeted for ambushes just for the sake of stealing your equipments.

We're not sure what "non-mechanical" means, for all we know it's about fucking a synth.

Do not listen to this poster. The Universal Union encourages accomplished service records. To intentionally delay the advancement of mankind by not doing your part is suicide.

>The Combine commits mass China and steals H&K's designs to mass produce their firearms and give to the lowliest, most underfunded of police forces
Based

Okay, I can buy quality being the focus since mass quantity is no longer needed, but still, the Match model?

yeah, that shit looed cool in underworld AND you'd need to be as accurate as possible with a shitty pistol

How does Gordon, a Nuclear Physicist Egg head get so good at killing people? It can't be the HEV suit alone because so many mooks armed to to the teath died in Xen.

Thank you for writing, anonymous.

To be concerned of what might happen beyond your career with the civil protection force is a natural fear. It is natural, after all, to be afraid of the unknown.

"What might happen to me?"
"Will I be the same?
"Is it really worth my humanity?"

However unfortunately naive and childish these concerns might appear to be, it is simply a reflex of the mind to lash out against what it does not understand. This has been a constant for mankind and a blight we must quarantine before it spreads further. It has strangled us throughout the centuries, toppling once great nations and delaying crucial advancements that otherwise could have granted us technology once thought it be the impossible.

Plainly said, a fear of the unknown is human. We have grown abundant on ignorance, drunkenly gulping it down with fervor not unlike that of a child who should have been weaned long ago. Our benefactors are the way to shedding this reliance upon fear and hatred. I ask you, anonymous: what do you have to lose from tossing away mankind's indignities, its shameful inadequacies? To cling to the flimsy definition of 'human' is nothing but folding under the weight of your own fear.

Doesn’t quite capture the tone, but good effort. Laidlaw’s a damn fine writer and his Breen is very hard to imitate just right.

because he got training, going through all that shit with aliens and spec ops prepares you for fighting in xen with the exact same aliens.
Also people who were in xen where trapped their for long periods of time with only few of them ever making it long enough to travel back

training and luck

Is this achievable natty?

just be american

>When you realise the first metrocop you see was being a bro because picking up a can counts as voluntary work and ups your social credit score.

Most of those are war-synths. The Combine probably have some sort of specialized recreation-synths for that purpose.

I'll take the carrier

My nigga. Something about its organic design always made me curious.

I'll take the supersoldier, thank you
