[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Clearly, bullets go through this door.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]So, just as clearly, it's necessary to kick it into Adrian.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Well, that was over quickly.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Instead of just shooting him like the Combine normally would've, he bends down to grab Shephard for some reason, who hits him in the head with what appears to be a clay pipe, and then they...
dance.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Adrian's breakdancing knocks the cop's G-36 pff to parts unknown, so the cop draws the katana he had sheathed on his back for just such an occasion. Not only is this completely fucking ridiculous, if they wanted to have a melee fight, they could've just given the cop a canonical stun stick. But no, wire-fu and breakdancing necessitate katana.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Apparently when unarmed and confronted with a sword, the best thing to do is to grab some random chain -which will ALWAYS be locked in place- and throw your legs at the enemy.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Oh-HO! It turns out that Adrians pistol was empty the whole time, rendering pretty much everything about this scene completely pointless until now.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]As shown here, reloading guns is usually more effective than throwing them. They fight some more.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]OH SHIT! A CROWBAR! SYMBOL OF GORDON FREEMAN'S MIGHT! Surely this will deliver victory unto Shephard! Shephard strikes the foe once, and...
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU DIPSHIT?! HE STILL HAS HIS SWORD!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Oh.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Kicking a knee in the direction it's SUPPOSED to go is not a crippling move.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The cop forgets what he was doing again, or says "fuck it, I'm out of here." Either way he just politely kneels and waits for Shephard's killing blow, delivered with the crowbar he picked up again. But what about Zoey and Fat Man?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Railings are neither concealment, nor cover.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Ooooooh, exit Fat-Man, just as he began the transmission. Despite the fact that his head is a huge bloody mess, Zoey stops to check on him and gets knocked out with a rifle butt.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]They're making an awful lot of effort to take our heroes out alive. What do they want with them? Information? Test subjects? Brainwashed new recruits?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]None of the above! Just kidding, they want them dead after all. The fuck?
Then we get more nonsensical narration: "Nobody knows where these bastards came from, nobody even knows who they are."
Except that everyone knows exactly who they are. They know exactly where they came from. Cops and soldiers are humans working for the Combine. This is established within the first five minutes of the goddamn game.
"But as someone once said, the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world."
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]It's Shephard in disguise, who... shoots the unarmed CP first before shooting the one actually holding a gun. Hooray, the day is saved!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]HA HA THAT GUY IS PEEING.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]They somehow just blunder into this massive group of Combine, as Adrian states that "If you're listening to this, then the transmission was a success." Which means that by being "the right man in the wrong place" he completely failed to make a difference of any kind since the transmission already got out at that point. Well, at least Zoey got to shoot a peeing Combine before she died. Big difference, that!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]"My story ends here."
To summarize: Adrian Shephard and two friends teamed up to go on a suicide mission to tell everyone what they've already known for five years. They knew they wouldn't survive this. Tell me again what exactly the "difference" they're making even is?
Not to mention this makes portions of his narration completely nonsensical, because either he was broadcasting his narration in real time somehow, or he knew he'd come into a safe house with a dead guy in it ahead of time, among other things.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Adrian drops a brilliantly-glowing grenade just behind his back to take a few more Combine down with them. Except that these grenades have short fuses, the Combine are moving in slowly and cautiously, and as we've just seen a few minutes ago in this video, these grenades won't kill you if you're more than five feet away from them.
GOOD JOB TEAM.
