Half Life - Anthem of The Combine (Universal Union)

playing this on 2x speed is actually a bop

Now this is a new Order

Yes. I truly understand the great ideology of glorious Universal Union, moreover, I do support it in all ways! "Combine" is the term that enemy propaganda uses, but all somewhat conscious people these days know, that existance has nothing to do with future and Universal Union of all creatures alive and not alive(already happy, as what we call "happiness" comes from absolute calmness — nonexistance) will guide us untill we finally break the instincts, regardless of our species!

I wonder if any other earth animals still exist.

the anthem can really show how they can take over the whole world in just 7 hours. It terrifies me

es normal que no deje de oirlo?

Penguins: so uh… why is there just a bunch of water gone?

What the

Pretty sure the combine have no idea about new zealand because nobody does.

Me : Opens a bag of snacks

i have just been pulled in this rabbit hole of half life lore when i havent even heard of the game prior to this

This is giving me Empire March vibes

this sounds so powerful, like it could dominate other fictional countries like arstotzka

POV: You took a nap in Berlin you woke up in Korea

Germany if Mussolini didn't exist:

Idk what the combine will do with most countries

I love how it doesen't even shy away from the true nature of the combine. They don't lie about being some great empire, they are a brutal regime, who conquers and subjugates, with this song showing that.

funny thing is the universe is seemingly infinite and the combine controls parts of not only this universe but also other infinite universes, one of which is ours. in our universe the combine and the rest of the half life/portal universe is fictional but this doesn't mean we are safe from them.

This also means that there is a chance that a bigger universal union exists larger and stronger than the combine ever was. who knows? maybe there in our universe but we are to under advanced that they haven't noticed us.

I don't want to get to crazy with this theory but I believe that the G-man is a part of this larger union and they are tasking us to destroy the combine as they see humans as a valuable asset to themselves and don't want the combine to have us. this may mean that the reason why Gordon wasn't defeated quickly was because the combine is running low on resources fighting this larger empire or whatever you want to call it. this theory also may be the reason why the combine is striping the earth of its resources. its quite possible that the reason why they kept humanity was to create in-universe fast travel to win this war against this larger empire.

Nice to see that Helgoland's people successfully defended their islands against the Combine.

Glad to see that Santa and his elves were able to permanently fend off the Combine.

Resistance left the chat.

Freeman has been really quiet since this dropped

Glory to the Combine.

This anthem does not inspire patriotism. It makes me feel trampled on.

This anthem fits so well for the occupation Combine forces.
It sounds both evil and... alien.

The Combine has considered Antartica as a waste of resources to conquer lol

Heil combine! 🙋🏻‍♂️

How about martians will against human and combine empire new martians faction name Martians Invader

That one CP looking to our souls..

В смысле Россия тоже захвачена!? Не порядок! (Разбудил Ленина и Сталина)

Good to see the penguin space programme worked after all.

One thing I like about this is that it almost sounds like an organic lifeform wailing in horror.

The Combine is basically one enormous super-organism with integrated species acting as its executive functions and a near omniscient AI (Overwatch) to regulate its autonomic functions. It calls rebellious/non-compliant components "malignant" and to be "amputated". All this means that the mere sight of Gordan Freeman inspires terror, as he is an entity too small to keep perfect track of, too fearless to intimidate, and has existed external to the Combine machine for his entire life up until now, and so is the only person who is not part of the collective of humanity seen and counted after the 7-hour war and thus is the only person who essentially isn't from the same world as everyone else. He is creative, intelligent, motivated, fearless, and is willing to sacrifice himself to kill the Combine, so is in a sense irrational in a way that the Combine doesn't know how to cure. He is, unlike the citizens, referred to as "individual".

As silly as it sounds, the Combine fear the One Free Man because as a super-organism, they can't comprehend him. The CPs might see him as a man in an orange suit, but the Combine views him as an incomprehensible terror that can dodge every means of coercion that worked on his fellow human, and can often-times fight the Combine on their soil, but always on HIS terms.

That is why the Combine can defeat a collective of billions but can't face one individual.

Am I the only one who feels like they heard this a 18273829017 times?

i have a theory, the gman used the resonance cascade to lure the combine to earth becouse the only species able to ceace comunications between the combine overworld and their universe is humanity, it doesn't really matter if what's left of the combine is crushed or if the resistance fails miserably, but the fact that earth broke free of the grip of the combine empire probably started a chaos in the combine overworld, maybe that information got to other planets under combine rule, and meaby that ignited other revolutions across the empire, making the combine fall or at least making them a lot weaker

Мощь этого гимна: 4 балла. Мощь гимна СССР: 4 балла
