10:02 The following message is transmitted at the request of local authorities. At 9:47 AM, Mountain Time, a disaster of unknown type has occurred at the Black Mesa Research Facility causing significant damage and failure to various power and communication systems in the surrounding areas. An immediate evacuation order has been issued for all residents within a 75 mile radius of the facility, and on-site military has been dispatched to provide assistance. Make sure to bring an emergency supply of food, water, clothing, first aid kit, flashlights with extra batteries, and battery powered radios. Follow local evacuation routes which have been marked by local authorities and only use one vehicle. Do not return to the warning area until the all clear has been given. If you are not in the evacuation zone stay where you are. If you are within the evacuation area and have no transportation locate your nearest police department or military officer. Do not use telephones or cell phones except in the case of emergencies. Stay tuned to local news media outlets for further details and information on this situation.

There is 2 more eas but they didn't add them to this video.

I love your use of other games' radio chatter. The one that stands out to me is hearing the HECU's use the term 'broken arrow'. In battlefield parlance, it means an artillery or air strike on your own position, and that's how the voice line was used in the first edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. In the context of black mesa and the HECU's, it takes on its second definition. The term 'broken arrow' also refers to an event when the United States loses control of a nuclear device. Your usage implies that the black ops soldiers planted and then lost control of the demolition warhead we see in-game. That's utterly terrifying, and the voice lines honestly work for either scenario. Great work, man. That was creative and VERY realistic. This whole video is straight-up gold.

Love this, the one gripe I had about that fantastic "Black Mesa Disaster on One Map" video is the lack of context towards the end regarding the military situation, you still hear scattered chatter but you never get a sense of what the broken remnants of the heckies, the black ops spooks, or the surviving BM personnel are doing. I really expected something like - "Unit so-and-so requesting air support/resupply/backup" coming up once the HECU arrive to clean up, and as the events unfold the requests for aid become more numerous from different units and more frantic until eventually you see something like this sometime after the order to evac comes through - "Unit X requesting CASEVAC/Exfil" "Unit Y requesting CASEVAC/Exfil" "Unit Z requesting CASEVAC/Exfil" etc, and then finally a response, "General Request: DENIED" There's also that weird mustache-twirling line that immediately took me out of it, it was like "We'll get you THIS TIME Gordon Freeman" - other than that though the map really blew me away and this looks like a fantastic companion piece to it. Do they go good together side-by-side? Like, if you have two monitors you can put this video on one and the map video on the other and feel like some random security guy located in a cave somewhere monitoring the situation from an external BM outpost, watching the beginning of the end of the world.

Brilliant, I absolutely love it when fans manage to expand the backstory of a game much better than the actual creators. The parts that really got me were ones like the security guard/scientist who couldn't even type properly anymore because of his injuries, the futile cries for help presented in such a monotone and emotionless format (text-based messages obviously cannot convey the pain and fear of being hunted down by aliens and the military), or the eerie, lonely general announcements still telling the former workers about recruitment or harassment. And towards the end, it gets really, really quiet, that adds a lot to the experience. What you do is really unique and I personally can't think of a better Half Life fan creation than these detailed videos you make about surveillance and security systems in our favorite fictional multi-billion dollar research facility. This one might just be my favorite. Keep it up.
