The citadel has a lot of sound and power coming from it, so it isn't too far fetched for it to be making a really loud sound that can be heard from far away

the Entanglement music has an interesting history. originally, only the 39 second version (HL2_song0.mp3) was in the game, in map d2_prison_05 (the moving walls in Nova Prospekt). but back during the 2013 Steampipe updates, the eight second Entanglement loop (HL2_ambient_1.wav) was added in an update to the Citadel, as you pointed out, restoring a previously cut music cue. this was implemented by a member of the community helping Valve out, and Valve liked the restoration so they kept it. prior to this, this .wav was only in the 2003 HL2 leak.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say those specific combine are part of a special temp faction so you can walk in and watch the breencast without agroing them. Similar to how snipers aren't enemies to the crows on the roof until you reach the top floor, an ai_relationship probably flips.

you can cancel any sound the gravity gun makes if you turn on/off your flashlight during anytime one of its sounds plays

4:20 that reminds me of something similar in halo 3, when you rescue sergeant Johnson in the first mission, if you have allies still with you, its only johnson and dead bodies, but no allies during the rescue will have alive prisoners who join you.

1:00 lowered audio by 136 dB so it doesnt blast your viewers eardrums because the citadel is so damn loud

I had no idea about entanglement! So cool!

Thanks for your attention to detail.

Not that I have the means to go and check, but there are a few places in Xbox Half Life 2 that aren't textured properly as well, I remember finding some see-through walls in the Water Hazard chapter when I was goofing around and not rushing through the airboat segments where you're being chased by the chopper!

As with relistening to a favourite piece of classical music, this never gets old. Thank you!

7:08 i’ve seen that before I tried running on Garrys mod, but it still was a missing texture. Must’ve been a decal that was used previously, but was removed. They are actually two of them. I don’t remember the other missing texture.

0:16 is really eerie 'cuz it gives off vibes of like some creature that's luring you in

5:25 "Hold your fire! Dr.Breen is speaking."

Interesting how they just make them disappear in the first clip. I really don't think it would take that much (2004) resources to keep them in the map until you hit the level load. This is especially egregious considering Manhack Matt and Arlene get killed to reduce resource load in their respective levels among others.

I remember entanglement being one of the only songs saved as wav files in the hl2 leak. Also how much hours do you have in hl2?

i always thought the entanglement loop was a distant alarm

The first fact reminds me of when I played half life 2 for the first time as a kid, barely knowing English, I did not figure out that I'm supposed to flip the car with gravity gun. I thought I have to go somewhere and "turn on the power" or something to make the crane work. Makes sense, right ? I managed to get through this whole chapter on foot until the gunship battle. Then the guy would not open the gate for me. Sad

Also, i dont remember if you covered that shadow casting cube where the van falls into the citadel in episode one. When you get out of the van and it falls, shine a flashlight onto where it was and youll see a shadow cube.

I suspect the grenades are counted like the other weapons as both a weapon and as ammo, when you pick up a grenade the grenade acts like any other weapon and gives you the grenade weapon and a grenade ammo, like picking up a pistol gives you a pistol and some ammo, and it allows you to refil ammo by picking up another pistol, so the grenades refill your grenade ammo, and when you run out you still keep your grenade weapon, it just lacks its grenade ammo.
