Warning 1; Freeman and his fellows are climbing from the wreckage of the base; and finding the horror of what exactly happened. Military forces are being alerted; Adrian Shepard being told of a special target he is being assigned to. Warning 2; Military forces arrive; Freeman and fellows fighting for their lives. First Xen forces begin to appear. Things going from bad to worse. Warning 3; Military forces failing; New Mexico is being overrun by Xen creatures. Freeman and fellows are abandoned; Shepard now fighting for his life. Portal storms beginning to erupt across the globe. Warning 4; world is gone. In less than three days; Black Mesa destroys the United States and triggers a world war against an alien race mankind has no hope of stopping. Only Gordon Freeman stops the portal storms long enough for mankind to collect their bearings; but the death of the Nililanth brings the combine to earth. I cannot imagine how much horror the world went through before it all finally came to an end. Based on the globe in Alyx; America is gone.

4:52 This moment was an unnerving feeling when I was playing the game. The place you hear this broadcast is in a subway portion of Black Mesa, which is a very big part. Hearing this broadcast while you're deep in the facility AND in a big portion of the facility where you're exposed gives me an unnerving feeling, plus is guaranteed to give YOU an unnerving feeling the first playthrough of the game. 7:42 Hard to describe this feeling, you are being targetted by the H.E.C.U. but then suddenly them pulling back, but struggling to, gives a sense of relief but also a sense of uneasiness. Because, we're talking a huge force of Marines that almost killed you multiple times. But, also, you know the aliens holding them back isn't too difficult for YOU to face, so that adds a sense of strength compared to them. Verdict, Black Mesa did an amazing job. AMAZING job remaking Half-Life. The radio transmissions and the broadcasts weren't really that good compared to Black Mesa. So the fact that the Crowbar Collective managed to add upon some of the elements and give these unnerving feelings goes to show you that they did an excellent job. Please, if you haven't already, PLAY THE GAME.

For those wondering why a few have the same callsign with Echo and such that isn't their official callsign. Example Echo-5 Yankee. Echo-5 denotes the persons rank E-5 is Sergeant and Yankee denotes a last name beginning with a Y when someone doesn't have an official callsign. And with Echo-3 Juliet, E-3 rank is PFC or Private First Class with a last name starting with J.

@@Prussia1991 What’s funny is, while “ambushed” makes sense, what I hear is “vanished” - which makes me think the squad, or just Juliet-3 himself, might’ve gotten hit by some wayward portals. If that’s true, that implies a few things: 1. Juliet-3’s squad did *not* make it back out of Xen. 2. His leg injury might have been the result of aggressive wildlife maiming him or worse, like teleporting halfway into a solid surface. 3. He likely has no idea where he is, where to go, how to even communicate where in the facility he was dropped in, or where to even find anyone. 4. His IFAK, and likely most of his equipment, could have been lost during teleportation… Meaning, it’s possible he literally had no way to save himself. … Yikes.

I feel like what people fail to realize a lot of the time is that the HECU are a specialized combat unit comprised of reconnaissance marines. Most of the guys probably got reconnaissance contracts or volunteered for BRC straight out of SOI either from Geiger or Pendleton and most of them could not have been more than maybe 21 years old. A lot of the Lances or Corporals you see (the ones with the Echo-3 to Echo-4 callsigns) are probably in their late teens or early 20’s. The only people that I can imagine being more than the age of maybe 23 are probably the Sergeants (Echo-5 callsigns). These guys were probably the same ones having a giant barracks party the weekend prior and then all of the sudden, get called into a situation they were completely unprepared for. What I hate about the original Half Life is that they depicted HECU grunts as these 80’s badass special forces type that you’d probably see in Rambo or Predator but in reality, they were probably scared kids that didn’t know how to handle or even mentally grasp what type of giant shitstorm their entire command probably threw them into.

Yes, those were their orders, but you think some of the marines would realize what they’re doing is wrong and stop. Maybe that happened, but any of the ones we encounter in the games that kill scientists and guards deserve their fate. Later in the story, some might be justified in trying to kill Freeman because from their perspective there’s this guy in a hazard suit killing a ton of marines and they would obviously want to preserve their life and Freeman’s not gonna stop killing them after they tried to kill him.
