Okay not quite this is a Canadian production that seems to have official support from Valve.

"Escape from City 17 Part 1" they did this on a budget of 500$ I''m impressed they could make an entire series out of this.

Nicely done. Though surely a lot of credit must go to the postproduction process.

I just replayed that whole part of Half Life and I thought that was very well done. At first I really liked the use of sound effects but they seem to overuse the droney beep sound.

the which one? the one when the combine dies, or the one from the strider, or the droney beep sound from the alarm, or the drony sound from the....

Its Half Life, every third sound file is a droney beep [Smile]

That was pretty cool but it made me nauseated to watch it, because of the way the camera slewed around so much. Very exciting, though.

That one's NOT sanctioned by Valve and uses elements of Half-Life, Lost and several other IPs.

There's a rather nonsensical ARG trailhead regarding it HERE.

its impressive but I liked the first one better as it has alot more movie/tv potential then this one, which seems more like a viral advertisment video.

It was apparently originally made as a self-promotional video, but there seems to be something bigger in the works. Nobody's sure what.

Also the timing doesnt make sense, is this supposed to be the beginning of the 7 Hour War? Or something just after its end? They're nowhere near Black Mesa.
