Serious Half Life Universe - Lore looter and explorer thread

Half-Life Universe - Lore looter and explorer thread
Welcome to the Lore researching thread. What we do here is finding out things about the HL2 and Half-Life Universe Lore.​

What is this thread?
This is a thread, where we are going to find out things about the lore of the Half-Life Universe. Everyone is free to help, and this will not only help this server, it will help other servers too. Everything you have to do is, put im some content, such as proofs, these could be pictures and ect., and what you found out.

Note: this thread might doesn't survive here, a copy has been created and a thread is created at another side were CW:HL2RP got developed at. If any material on this thread does have to do anything with, metagaming it can be request to get removed.


What things in the Lore are we gonna find out?
Basically, everything that didn't get find out yet.
Every information is gonna be putted inside here. There is going to be a list with things that have been found out and things that would be good if we find them out.


The List:

Things that is found out:

Code names meanings from Overwatch Forces

We thank you for your help and I hope it helps other people.

 

How to find out stuff
​

A lot of stuff is basically in the game. We can hear it, see it but that what we see might not be enough, we need to understand it better. In order to do so you can extract maps, look through the source code and research stuff.

I suggest to use Combine Overwiki.


Code Names from the Overwatch Forces:
In the game voice files gets called by a code, if we can explain that code, we know for what the voice file is used for, which will result the meaning of that code name. We can also use exsisting code names, that are things that is found out. Some code names are combined with other code names. Lemme give you an example:

Skyshield
Skyshield contains from Sky and Shield.
Sky is the sky and doesn't have any special meaning.
Shield is already a code name, which means, To apply defensive tactics or to defend a designated target/location.

And if we combine that together and use common sense, it means something that is defeinsive in the sky, such as a Gunship.

Use this to find out what things means, not gonna tell what.

 

Extractor - A grenade from the Combine team.

In the server there is a OTA named Sundown, I wonder why. It isn't part of the soldier name. I wonder if any of these phonetic codes means anything, it is so confusing.

 

Next thing, Exogen and Biotic are different. Both of them are monsters, alien but why are Vortigaunts not getting called Exogen?

I have already the answer will come to it later.

 

Biotics: A non-specific designation typically referring to non-manipulative xenian lifeforms. This can encompass vortigaunts or antlions. In most situations it refers to vortigaunts.

took that from the cp guide so


Biologally? Idk

Refered to Necrotics it contains of Necro and tics
Necrotics are zombies we know that.



Exogen are Antlions or some monster structure...
But as far as we know does Exogen really only mean Antlion?

Exo might be, you know Exoplanets, planets that are not in our solar system as far as I know. So Exogen could actually mean monsters instead antlions or things like that.

Monster that are like bugs are Exogens

There is also a Parasite but I didn't find that out yet.

Remember the source is found in sentences.txt

Yes, somethings are missing.

 

Ahm, Combine don't have feelings nor can make taunts so what the fuck is this, this is pretty smart to be honest. You know at CS:GO that there was some kind of meme when you kill someone they go to a player and crouch at them. Let's see if we can bring this here, just different.

If a Combine Soldier gets damage and it didn't hurt much it will say these things:
Basically a how to talk as a combine.

Target ineffective - His target was ineffective
Bodypack holding - I guess it's some kind of quote like if you can hold your bodypack means it's good.
Then this is interesting
MYNAME, MYNUMS as example Razor 9, fullactive
Well fullactive means he is completly active on that situation.

Overwatch request reserve activation
reserve soldiers that needs to be activated first.

COMBINE_LAST_OF_SQUAD2 npc/combine_soldier/vo/(v100) on1 sector V_SECTORS, outbreak outbreak(p105) outbreak(p110) off1 {Len 1.28 closecaption NPC_Combine.Last}

That above is interesting, p means pitch (p100) is default


Then Overwatch Request Skyshield, we know it is something defensive on the sky

Overwatch, request winder dispatch.

What the fuck is Winder?

Again the OTA's squad is dead so what it wants to say is, it needs reinforcement

Winder must be something that is like a reinforcement for him, but it can not be something that flys in the air and only shoots and defensive, it must be something else.
