This Is What Half-Life 2's Combine Invasion May Have Looked Like In Its Early Stages
By the time Half-Life 2 begins, the Combine invasion is well on its way. This video imagines what the invasion might have looked like in its early stages. Buildings are still intact, it's bright and sunny, and crates of ammo and explosive red barrels are intermittently placed instead of showing up everywhere.
The video, which is simply described, "Elements from Half-Life 2 composited into my neighbourhood," comes from Nick Bertke. Bertke is better known on the Internet by his musician pseudonym Pogo. Under that name, he creates impressive remixes of movie soundtracks like this from Disney's Alice in Wonderland, but he also dabbles with video game remixes, as well. You can find a Borderlands video he created here.

Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
