Figure you might want to see it.
was always how I kinda imagine HL2RP should've played out for some reason.

I want to explore the concept of a lowly, malnourished citizen in the half-life 2 universe making the grave mistake of killing a combine force member, and exploring the resulting combine responses following the death of a single civil protection officer. Slowly building to the most extreme possible conclusion that kills a city and puts humanity’s future at risk


STORY FLOW

  1. Character transfers to new city
  2. Is slowly drawn into small rebellious activities
  3. Is manipulated into murdering a civil protection officer
  4. City begins to go downhill fast in response
    1. No rations for citizens
    2. Apartments are being raided
    3. Higher security levels
  5. The character is kicked out of their rebel group to fend for themselves
  6. The character is found
    1. Further cops are killed by the player
  7. Triggers a judgement waiver
    1. Excessively high security
    2. Overwatch soldiers patroling the city
    3. Rations still locked off
      1. Starving/ dead citizens
    4. Entire streets and buildings cut off
  8. The character attempts to reach the city outskirts through the underground
  9. The character has to fight through overwatch forces holding a series of checkpoints
  10. Triggers autonomous judgement
    1. Citizens being gunned down on sight
      1. Some fight back
    2. Striders, choppers and gunships hovering across
    3. Shelling
    4. Aboslute chaos
  11. Climactic ending
    1. Ending one - Escape the city and leave it to perish
    2. Ending two - Surrender yourself to prevent more citizens from being killed

its a good concept... in theory

but then it begs the question

how do all the rebels in hl2 survive shooting cops once in a while due to the once in a while CP sweep without the entire city being depleted everytime it happens?

If the railroad is anything to go on. They barely do.

Even the geared ones barely manage at times, the dock base is loaded with wounded left and right from combine attacks.

Then ravenholm..

Hl2 resistance have to keep their heads down or they get wiped out.
