Yeah when we really realize that we are Nothing against the Combine.

"I was left alone, riding the weaponized research vessel into the heart of a Combine world. An immense light blazed. I caught a cosmic view of a brilliantly glittering Dyson sphere. The vastness of the Combine's power, the futility of our struggle, blossomed briefly in my awareness. I saw everything. Mainly I saw how the Borealis, our most powerful weapon, would register as less than a fizzling matchhead as it blew itself apart. And what remained of me would be even less than that."

This really shows that the whole fight against the alliance is a futile affair. This is a universal organization that captures entire worlds. What humanity represents against this background is a miserable anthill. Even Gordon Freeman himself understood this, even he, a man who lived through several lives in one, who was able to do the impossible - accepted it. Alliance are too strong, they cannot be defeated. Everything is in vain.

@@specter7227 G-Man is a character who is vitally important to have employees to fulfill his own goals and the goals of his employers at their hands. If he could do everything himself - he would have done it a long time ago, which can be said about other creatures in the boundless multiverse - a man in a suit cannot be one of a kind, in some worlds there must be those who have the same abilities as him, or even stronger. And yet, the Alliance is still not stopped - the universal alliance has captured countless worlds, because it is simply not possible to stop the real army of harvesters. Just think about it - the Alliance definitely possesses not only the Dyson Sphere, the greatest, and infinite source of energy of the stars themselves - but also technologies for manipulating dark energy, which is the very component of the worlds, and is not only in someone's hands the most powerful weapon - but also, probably, a way to change reality itself (thanks to dark energy, expansion occurs in our universe, the Alliance probably used this property so that their home world, or maybe others too, existed forever, and this is just one example of the possibility of using this energy). If the universal union could be stopped, it would have reached this point long ago, but no one is capable of it. The greatest probability of the nature of the Alliance is that it is an eternal machine, a program that was once laid down to capture and hold worlds - and such a machine will forever fulfill its will, because in the case of combines, they can forever provide for themselves. Just imagine - the Alliance's bureaucratic apparatus is so perfect that it is both reliable and effective, it is impossible even for any perfect machine that sooner or later will have a mistake - but not for the indestructible, mechanical system of the Alliance, which can support itself for eternity. The Alliance imprisoned G-Man, from which he could not get out - this shows that he has ways to deal with such creatures, not excluding their destruction. Perhaps G-Man and his employers know how to defeat the universal alliance, and strive to do so -with the help of other beings capable of resisting the Alliance regime on captured worlds, like Gordon Freeman. About such a success, given the scale of the combine forces, one can both doubt and assume, because we know very little about G-Man, as well as about his employers, at the level of the fact of their existence. The only way to defeat the Alliance is to drive it out of the captured world, and not let it invade again.

Of course there are. It wouldn't be a Half-Life ending if it tied up all loose ends, that's actually why we kept playing these games in the first place, the way the story slowly became clearer yet just scratching the surface of the happenings and the grander scheme of things, this kind of story was always intended to be questionable in many ways, there would always be cliffhangers, there would always be more questions, that's the formula, and I think it fits pretty well. But I am curious, what questions do you have, in regards to Epistle 3? I may be able to answer them for you.

@no1noob37

6 жыл бұрын

There would always be cliffhangers with no clear ending?But then what about the Combine,the G-Man and Alyx Vance?Would G-Man make her the new Rebellion leader?What was wrong with Gordon and he left him to die with the ship?I knew he wanted to get rid of him,since he mentioned at the end of Half-Life 2 that he would "choose for him if and when his time came round again".And it was pretty clearer at the beginning of Episode One where the Vorts blocked his way and took Gordon away.Would he be an enemy in later games after Epistle 3?However,one thing is certain IMO.Where Gordon was extracted after Epistle 3 is probably a lifetime when no Rebellion,no Combine and no G-Man would be present on Earth.An Earth which would be mostly isolated or at least with a couple of humans and if it's possible still a couple of Xen creatures to fill its inhabitance.

Adrian being held and lost in the void , Shell walking on the earth with no purpose , Kleiner back at the white forest , Barney dead or alive far away with rebels from his close friends and Gordon alone and finally found his bitter freedom while writing this letter to us . I wonder how he held all the stress and emotions within his 2 -3 week time without even saying a single word but we all know you have the loudest mind . This is my own farewell to you Dr. Freeman , its been an honour to experience all the things with you together .

The only problem is that you put in two Dyson Spheres instead of one. This ruins the scale of the Dyson Sphere in general, and doesn't make it as immense as just one. Stars are massive, and when they are right next to each other like that, they look small.

@Khrayfish

I'm fairly certain most large stars are part of a binary star system, so probability does suggest you'll have two Dyson spheres. The Dyson spheres shouldn't be moving as fast (if at all) though, that's the main issue I think.

@Error-ke1tf

7 жыл бұрын

Moving parts is a rather noticeable error, yeah. Makes them seem off-scale. Something moving that fast would reduce planets to dust on impact. Still don't like the inclusion of binary stars regardless. Difficult to manage them and the affect of additional gravity could make them unstable so I don't see the combine choosing a star system with two stars, the letter suggested only a single Sphere. The resources being taken off Earth were probably being used to build the Dyson Sphere in Epistle 3, as the amount of resources required for such a project would take up far more metallic alloys than a single star system could provide. So two dyson spheres, risk of gravity manipulation aside, wouldn't be feasible. But hey, Combine do what Combine do. Still like the Dyson twist a lot though. Explains why they're draining the sea dry.

@bugjams

7 жыл бұрын

Who said they're Dyson Spheres? Couldn't they just as likely have been star ports, or generators, or both? The technology and race of aliens needed to make such a thing would be so advanced, we could only guess what we were looking at. Perhaps the blue glowing orbs are actually living beings, kept alive by alien technology. The unfathomable, mysterious nature of the alien objects provides a much stronger emotional sensation than if we simply knew what they were.

Now... when Half-Life 3 isnt just a meme, isnt just a rumor. It is a game legend. The series is a legend, the one and only Half-Life. Even if VALVe isnt going to make this game, release it, we know by guys like this, we can make our own Episode 3. If we want, even better than VALVe's games. If you agree, let me know it, in any way, reply, like the comment, any way you want. Because in the deeps of this community, i know there IS people who thinks the same. EDIT: And because, this video was made on the engine of that game, maybe using some other programs, but the that this WAS made on the game engine, inspires everyone to do something great, good joob anomalous materials, because of the people like you, we know that sometime we will have our episode 3...

Im gonna be Honest... I cried a little, becuase i franchise i grew with it, its now Gone. I was 8 years old when i played Half life, It was a amazing game, but when i finished episode 2.. It was the end for me. I waited 8 years for a update or news from Half life. Now im 16, knowing the fact that Valve decided to cancel Episode 3 was so heart breaking to me, and the worst part they decided to make a dumb Card game. The good thing is, that Mark decided to finish the trilogy, ending it. Thanks Mark for fighting against Valve system and Ideology and Gave us a hope for reading the end of Episode 3. Most game i grew with were Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Portal, Metal Gear Solid, and DOOM. Few games are good and strong. Left 4 dead 2 had great and awesome ending, watching how Coach, Rachel, Ellis and Nick survived thanks by the previous character we played before. Team Fortress is struggling so Hard to keep alive, i cant believe people are comparing Overwatch over Team Fortress 2, both games are good. But i grew and played with Tf2, and the sad part is that the Communitty is so little and keeps strong, For Example NISLT, Karma Charger, Jerma, and few youtubers comments opinions regarding about Tf2 small, yet strong communitty. Portal is connected with Half life, the only things that worries me most, is about Chell. Did she really Escaped? I hope so. And Half life... Half life is Like *LOGAN* Or Samurai Jack. I cried so much knowing that Mark has ended the Franchise. Thanks Half life Communitty for keeping Strong like Metal Gear Solid, Dead, but we keep shinning like Diamonds. I will always keep the memories. Thanks guys...

Is it ok that I let a couple of tears out? I'm not gonna lie, I have not been a fan of the series for a long time like plenty of people in here, I played the first Half Life game in 2012, since then I became a huge fan of the series and it took me less than 5 months to finish all the games I've replayed the Half Life games multiple times, specially HF2 Episode 2 (My favorite), and reading Epistle 3 by Marc and seeing this video makes me really sad, it makes me feel kind of empty, I was really never on the hype train for HF3 or either of those things, to be honest I would only check once or twice every 2 months to see if there was any update or anything I'm sad because reading Episode or "Epistle 3" and watching this just makes me wonder how truly a masterpiece this could have been, it would have been amazing, the plot, I can't just imagine how extraordinary it could have been Thanks Marc, for sharing that masterpiece with us, it was a beautiful plot, and I'm sure it would have been a splendid game, rest in piece Half Life You will always be remembered

Thank you for making this and thank you Marc Laidlaw for the closure we needed. I remember playing half life back in college almost 20 years ago. Such great memories. Wouldve been nice to see what happened to Corporal Shepard.

It has been 5 years bros

This was gorgeous and the music choice of triage at dawn was of course perfect

"Fanfic" yeah right. Great video man

Saiko Not really a fanfic,just unused story.

"Doctor Freeeeemaaaan." "...Recently my employers have recommended to me that I... dispose of you. Hmm. Over time, I came to realize that this 'child' whom has accompanied you throughout your endeavors... Rather, whom you have used for your own personal benefit and put in such danger, is much more of a valuable asset than what I had originally deemed her as. And as such, Mr. Freeman, I must now extract from you another payment owed for this cruelty and negligence you have caused her..." -- _Brief pause to swallow saliva_ -- "My employers will be very pleased to learn that you are... no longer of any use. Good-day to you, Mr. Freeman."

Blu the Scout What the fuck did Marc Laidlaw smoke?Alyx doesnt compare to Gordon,he fought against entire armies for fucks sake!

Gordon was getting further and further from Gman's influence. This was implied in the episodes. Valve said somewhere that as early as EP1 that they wanted to show Gordon 'free' for the time being from Gman's control but also show the potential consequences that could arise from that. What are *you* smoking?

Sometimes I dream about threes

Dude I've watched this like a 100 times now =] Kudos for creating something so beautiful so fast!! The epic part where Gordon looks at the huge spheres with the awesome music...just give me chills every time. You deserve way more views!

This is amazing, thank you. I would love it if someone made a more detailed, lengthy animated film depicting Epistle 3, but I understand that this is more of a highlight reel/summary of it. It's amazing in its own right. Well done! And great song choice. :)

we cant kill the combine, but we can get them out of earth

This literally gave me chills, it's so beautiful. It game me an emotion of sadness and like, butterflies in my stomach. Just seeing Gordon staring at the stars of the Combine realizing his fate it just is, amazing.

Have you just fucking prediced a fucking future???

Wow, I think you've done a really good job at capturing the desired feeling of the game. I know not many people are fussed on epistle 3, but done like this, I reckon it could be a killer.

I got interstellar vibes when the dyson spheres appeared :o

Thank you for taking the time to create this! I really enjoyed it. The part at the start with Alex and Gman walking away was amazing.

This is so amazing! The concept alone of what the combine’s home world looks like is fantastic, not to mention how stunning the visuals are. The music is on point and the film flows well. It is so amazing. The only thing I don’t like is that this video doesn’t have at least 50k likes because thats what it deserves.

alyx is taken by gman now its time to set adrian free freeman and shephard ..... even gman cant win

So... am I to believe that the entire Half Life franchise was just Gman's elaborate plot to build Gordon up, introduce him to Alyx, get them close together, and then take Alyx at the last second for no good reason? Was all this just Gman fulfilling some bizzare, cross-dimensional cucking fantasy?

gman has control of Gordon, but loses it in episode 1. Because of that, and the fact that the vorts protect Gordon from the gman powers, then he focuses on alyx and in episode 3 he needs to get rid of Gordon from a perhaps fearful in the future may intervene in his plans

If you listen to Valve News Network's "Ask the G-Man" podcast (Letting off Steam), it'll add a very humorous spin to this. It's totally worth the full 90 minute time, I swear; it's a voice impressionist doing a PERFECT G-Man impersonation.

I cried oh my god So good This is what i been waiting since 07' Thank you!!!

This makes me realize that fighting the Combine won't result in any victories. But hey, at least it's better to die trying.

We need someone to make this playable, no matter the cost or time, just DO IT! (And yes I know that games are difficult to make but the point is that it can be made)

Dude, I don't even know how many times I've watched this video. How beautiful and interesting it is... I can watch this video for the rest of my life

but wtf does it mean? call me stupid but I'm too lazy to read Marc Laidlaw's "Epistle 3".

This deserves more exposure than it's getting, it's so cinematic...

Good grief I haven't seen anything this good in a long time. Keep it up!

Ağlamıyorum gözüme epistle 3 kaçtı :,(

ITS BACK BOYS. HL3 IS CONFIRMED .

Even if it is just a 'fanfic', it's good to have closure after all this time... Excellent job on this SFM short Anom; capturing that moment where Gordon realizes how truly powerful the Combine are was nicely done =)

This is so simple and short, yet so fantastic and satisfying.

Success of Steam killed Half-Life, crazy to think that every cent you spent there was one more nail in the Half-Life 3 coffin.

Anomalous materials, the person that made Art from SFM.

This gave me chills, what an amazing work seriously. I hope this comment pushes you to expand a bit more on what you see the epistle being. Subscribed!

I love what you've done, especially the citadels just floating around, waiting to be dropped on their next targets

видео 2017 года . до выхода HLA ещё 3-4 года , а в видео показано как GMan забрал Alyx

BEAUTIFUL! Just... ugh... that was... beautiful. The visuals, scenes... everything.

This is a pure masterpiece.

this was outstanding. very, very nicely done.

She's gone Gordon...

Maybe Half Life was supposed to end this way? Idk...... Knowing how deep this entire storyline is, I wouldn't doubt it if Ep.2 was supposed to be the end. maybe you as the player are supposed to realize that the situation is helpless, that when a radioactive isotope is unleashed, it can be contained until it decays into its next half life, then the next, then the next until its just dead... Maybe that was the point all along?

Love this reference to Marc's intended story for episode 1.

Farewell, beloved franchise! I will definitely miss the amazing gameplay and story you had to offer. Too bad you fell on the wrong hands. I salute you, Mister Freeman! May your fate hold the best for you!

Y los fanaticos de Warhammer 40k piensan que pueden superar esta escala...

Hey man, I fucking love you for this. Best graphics ever made in an SFM short. This leads me to ask something: did you use anything else next to SFM to achieve these effects? Thanks in advance!

In sony vegas, I applied a bloom effect which raised contrast. Otherwise, it's SFM. You can see an unedited SFM screenshot of the dyson scene here: twitter.com/AnomalousMater/status/902317147556241408

man i hate commenting on youtube but this is one of the few videos that's not just a soundtrack to something that i've liked, so, uh, rad also if the background of the invasion nexus resembles a globular cluster on purpose, that is a cool fucking detail that you are awesome for adding

the combine homeworld, again, I do wish they would just make hl3 already, the final confrontation with the combine would be the most epic shit ever, on their home planet

I'm sorry, did someone in 2017 predict the ending of Half-Life: Alyx?
