What is it? Context?

Kinda cool tho.

that is really good, remind me to watch it properly at home

yer this vid is awsome. people were speculating it was some half life viral vid or something.

What is it? Context?

A short video kind of set in the HL2 world - handy-cam footage with some great special effects.

They used the music from Lost when they opened the hatch door at the end there.

Yes I know no one cares but it bugged me for 3min trying to remember where I heard it before.


Cool vid, nice find :)

HL2? Maybe you've played a different HL2, the one I played is you're in a sewer, nothing happens, and nobody wants to talk to you, you spend half an hour trying to make something happen but nothing does, eventually some unexplained SWAT team shoot at you, it's totally lame, and you can't get out of the sewer, and then you type /quit and never play it again, and realise the orange box was a scam.

wow sounds like somoene failed at half life 2

jesus thermite how retarded are you?

^^ fkn ay, hl2 was good

cool video

lol well done thermite. you just made yourself look like a tool.

I think it's for the game singularity. Pretty cool vid.

I reckon I have played HL2 more recently that any of you f*****s, and if you ever went to play it again, you would realise how boring it is. NOTHING f***ING HAPPENS. At least in the first one you got to see a lot of cool stuff on that monorail ride in , then there was a PLOT involving an alien portal, and a series of challenges getting through coridors and sentries, unfortunatly then the game crashes so it kinda goes no where. The HL2 game involves walking around aimlessly in what looks like soviet Russia, with people who only say "don't talk to me" and s*** like that. I only bought the orange box a few weeks ago, what a f***ing scam!

lol deads***

Sure you spend like 15 minutes in a sewer (which had the really frustrating see-saw which valve was making you jerk them off for inventing weight...) You come out in a water way where you boat around and scale walls and do jumps and kill things (and then again are forced to float a stupid cage, proving again valve really were way too proud over their little weight innovation). You come out around black mesa where you kill a whole lot of guards and have a good time and end up in a zombie town with an awesome atmosphere. After enjoying some really fun flame challenges you eventually make your way into some kind of tunnel which leads to a road where you have to scale bridges and kill guards and get electricity sorted. the road leads to a beach where the aliens have infested. You gain the skill to use aliens (which is pretty damn cool) followed by carefully trying to work your way over a pit which will send a horde of aliens after you if you touch the sand... you make it to a fortified beach where you'll die once or twice learning to know where you can and cant stand. Finally you get to nova prospect build up a force with you and you start to feel like you are a part of something bigger then just yourself. You get into the fortress kill the boss and have a creepy and weird ending.

Its goddamn awesome, your gripe over sewers is like 1/10th the game i think there are like 15 chapters. the sewers is 1, or 2 if you don't like rafting.

the entire plot builds a tensity of being alone, running, escaping building up skills and weapons, and a means to fight back, building an army and then still single handedly being the most important person as you own the final boss. There is nothing wrong in that formula at all.

Of course, i havn't played the game in like two years, but i have pretty good memories of it.

well done video... it took the voices n sound effects to make me realise it was hl2 they were doing though... no headcrabs or crowbar! :P i still think the hl done in 60seconds that parabol poasted a while back was a much better representation of what the gameplay is like ;D

I vote "awesome". Great vid.

This is a short video made by a Dutch student. When he posted this video on youtube he was phoned by Pixar, 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios because of those briliant special effects.

I kinda wish the video would have kept going..

Thought it was going to be this old video.
