On the question Half-life 2 asked by the author promote the best answer is At the beginning of the game, the mysterious G-Man mentally wakes up Gordon and rather vaguely hints at the "great things" to come again. A few seconds later, Gordon finds himself on a train arriving in City 17, unarmed and without his protective energy suit, which served as his faithful assistant and saved his life several times in the first part of the game (moreover, earlier G-Man said that Freeman can keep the suit for himself). Soon the situation begins to clear up: City 17 is under the rule of a totalitarian government, headed by an administrator, named Breen, as it turns out later, the former head of a research center. But Breen, in turn, is himself a pawn in the hands of the leaders of the powerful all-galactic alliance - the Alliance. Portal storms that began after the death of Nihilanth throughout the Earth attracted the attention of the Alliance Council, and soon their troops attacked Earth, starting a war dubbed "Seven Hour", as after seven hours of war, Bryn forced the remaining forces of people to lay down their arms, which earned the Council's patronage. and became the plenipotentiary chairman of the government on Earth. Now the troops of the Alliance almost completely control the entire planet, except for only a few small pockets of resistance. Thanks to high technologies, humanity is making a sharp leap in development. Gordon, arriving in the city, sees their widespread integration. Some of the buildings have been modified with ferrous metal fortifications. The area is patrolled by mobile robotic scanners that monitor the situation in the city. The organization "Civil Defense" operates in the cities - people specially trained in combat skills who entered the internal police of the Alliance and thus lost part of the brain cells, replaced by microchips. But the most terrible means of persuading the government, along with propaganda, mind control and the fields of suppression of the reproduction cycle spread over cities, were synthetic robots - biomachines that destroy everything in their path.

Answer from Neurologist[active]
An experiment on the so-called "anomalous material" led to a "cascade resonance" that opened a portal to the parallel dimension Zen, and opened the way for a hostile alien civilization ...

Answer from Vitriol[newbie]
Half Life is a game idol of all times and peoples !! ! her graphics engine "sourse" made a mega hit out of the second part! real physics, beauty, storyline shine! the second part has two episodes 1 and 2, look for them on the torrent sites! try there

Here is a list of 245 soundscapes used in Half-Life 2. They are easy to test using the console command. playsoundscape which includes a limited search for soundscape names so you don't have to print out the entire list.

Soundscapes that have "util" in the name are part of other full soundscapes. On their own, they work without problems, but they have a poorer sound compared to multilayer soundscapes ..

Others have positional sounds that play at specific locations specified in the properties of the env_soundscape entity. If these locations are not specified, no sounds will be heard. The list of soundscapes that include positional sounds will be updated over time.

Soundscapes with positional information are indicated with a prefix. They are tested in a closed room 1024 x 1024 x 1024, soundscape centered, player centered, and eight circle-directed markers with a radius of 512 around the soundscape and player. Marker 0 - to the left of the player (at nine o'clock), by the player's height; Marker 1 on the left at an angle of 45 degrees; Marker 2 directly in front (12 o'clock); Marker 4 to the right of the player (at three o'clock), and so on in a circle. After the center test, the player walked in circles through the markers, eliciting local sounds.

Introduction.

We welcome you to our guide, completely devoted to the question - "how to play hl2rp?". In this guide, we will try to explain to you all the basics, nuances and subtleties when playing on a server with this topic. We warn you right away that there will be a lot of letters, so if you are not ready to devote yourself ~ 20 minutes to reading and comprehension of what you have read, then I think we will not be able to help you with anything. Those who want to learn will learn and read all the literature on this topic.

After downloading all the necessary content, looking at the loading screen and waiting for the Sending client info bar to load to the end, you have finally entered the server. The first and most important experience for you will be answering the simple questions that are presented in the menu. On each server there are ~ 5 or more of them, and it happens that they are not translated into Russian. In our case, we have 5 questions. If you had at least a little experience on RP servers, then you can answer them without any problems, right? But, if you are just ready to learn, or you are too lazy to guess - then here is a picture with the answers to the questions. After answering the questions, we move on to the next step.

Character Creation.

We have a simple menu with three buttons at the top:

The first button is responsible for the transition to the character creation menu. New is a new character. When the character limit is reached, this button will no longer be available.
The second button is responsible for ensuring that you can easily leave the server if you suddenly have such a need.
The third button is responsible for loading ready-made characters. If you did not have them before, it will not be available until you create your first character.

When you click on the New button, we go directly to the creation of the character. This is how our menu looks like -
Of the available factions at the moment, only one is available to us - this is Civilians. Who they are and what they are famous for, we will find out later. In the meantime, we need to create a simple person, but, of course, with his own peculiarity, which you will indicate to him yourself. Select the gender of our character and continue.
Now the turn has come to call our character somehow. We use some simple (or not so) names and surnames. But you have to consider some nuances:

1) Not all servers support Cyrillic. Therefore, it is advisable to write the name and surname in English.
2) Use real first and last names.
3) Do not use the first and last names of popular or famous people. Even with a hint of them. (for example: John Cena, Vladimir Pudin, Petr Potroshenko, etc.)
4) Do not use words or names that may seem offensive to some people (for example: the surname of the Heroosos, although it is real, is, to put it mildly, inappropriate)

Observing these simple rules, we get a character with some name and surname.

1) As with the first / last name, not all servers support the Cyrillic alphabet. Therefore, it would be best to write your description in English. You can use google translator or other translators.
2) You should only write a PHYSICAL description. That is, a description of the character's body, what he wears. Only. The description of gastronomic preferences, political views and other things is strictly prohibited.
3) You should not write any offensive words in the description. Имеется в виду называть чернокожего персонажа "Ниггером", писать в описании какие-то мемы связанные с конкретной моделью и прочее. In this case, the administration will show you your sharp humor.
4) Never use exact numbers for weight or height. No one can know for sure how much you weigh, how tall you are, or how long you have ANYTHING.

At the output, I got the following:

Attributes.

These are the qualities of your character. You are given a certain number of points for which you can "pump" a certain attribute. The menu looks like this:

Acrobatics- how high will you jump.
Agility- how fast you will run.
Dexterity- how fast will you perform actions (for example, tie / untie)
Endurance- how much pain you can take.
Medical- how effectively will you heal other people (not yourself)
Stamina is your stamina score.
Strength- how hard you will hit other people with melee weapons or fists.

On other servers, the number of attributes is different, and the number of points given is more or less than 10. Also, these attributes can be "pumped in" without this menu. To do this, you just have to do what this attribute is based on. For example, the more you jump - the more acrobatics you have - the higher you jump.
Go ahead.

Features of your character.

This is a unique development of our server, based on the experience of the game "Project Zomboid", where the character could choose his own characteristics. It is under development and its menu is intuitive. But, if you have any questions about a specific perk - just hover your mouse over it, then you can read what each perk is responsible for. The menu looks like this:
After that, you will automatically be taken to the game. From this moment on, your long and tedious journey through the world of roleplay begins. Congratulations. But in order to strengthen the success and stay here for a long time, you need to study all the other aspects? Rules, factions, teams, lore and much more are already waiting for you below.

These are not all the rules, of course. But this is the basics you should know. More subtle points are regulated by the administration.

Interface.

And now, having appeared at the station, the question arises - what can you do here? This game mod is rich in various mechanical actions, interactions with objects, etc. .. but let's not forget that the main thing here is roleplaying, and everything else only helps to make the game more beautiful and interesting.
First of all, you will see a completely empty screen, some buildings, train cars and so on. This is understandable, you have just arrived in this city. But we are now interested in two things - the TAB button and F1.

F1 button.

When you click on this button, the following menu opens:
All basic information about you is located here. Your name, CID, the amount of currency in your wallet, the state of your health and limbs. There are also quick access buttons.

The first is Description, here you can change your description if, for example, you changed your appearance or made a mistake.
The second is Emotes, here you can choose the animation in which your character can be. For example, you can sit on the floor, lean against the wall, and so on. Very practical and beautiful.
The third is Fall Over, when you press this button your character will "go into a trance", "fall asleep", "fall". That is, you will turn into a ragdoll, you can be picked up and carried away somewhere. You will also receive damage, be able to speak and do everything except walk on your feet. To get up - press the space bar.
The fourth, Voice Description, is not available on all servers. Here you can change the description of your voice.

This is where the F1 functionality is over.

TAB button.

When we click, we see the following picture:

Everything is more complicated here, right? But nothing, let's figure it out. Everything in order:

Characters (edit)- here you can choose another character or create a new one.
COMMUNITY- ignore this button, it leads to the official site of C16 (forum of the gamemode creator).
Business- if you have a certain flag, you can order any items there.
Inventory- the place where you store all your belongings. It deserves special attention, because it is a place with which you will contact a lot. The inventory looks like this:

Initially, you have a case that can usually be sold for a modest amount of tokens from a local NPC, and nothing else. The menu is quite simple - the first tab is Inventory - your inventory, and the second - Equipment, here you can find all your clothes and weapons. To interact with objects, you simply click on them and interact. It's that simple!

Info is a summary with different commands, information about the server, build, and more. If anyone is interested, they can take a look, but this button is not very remarkable.
Skills are your attributes. Here you can track your development or degradation.
Settings is a very large and useful graph. It also deserves special attention.

When you click, this kind of thing comes out:
As you can see, the menu itself is huge. We will be brief about everything.

Chat Box: Here you can control what is displayed in your chat. With a minimum of knowledge of English, you can understand what it does. Well, or by typing to see what will change.
Framework: interacting with the schema itself, the interface. The only interesting buttons here are Show bars at the top of the screen and Enable third person. When you click on the first setting, all panels with the state of hunger, health, armor, fatigue will be displayed in the upper left corner:

Well, the second includes a third-person view. Nice, comfortable. There is even a sight.

Next comes the theme menu of the schema itself. Here you can choose any color that you like best. What for? So that the inscriptions on the doors, menus and various other inscriptions were somewhat "customized". Improvise.

Features - all the features of your character that you chose when creating your character are listed here.
List of players - here is a list of all players on the server, their nicknames, factions and names (if you know them).

This is where all the special "menus" end. It remains only to indicate a couple of little things:
- by pressing F2 you can "get acquainted" with another character. This person will see your name for the place of your description.
- when you press F3, you can start tying a person if you have a rope in your inventory and you are standing behind the victim's back.
- by pressing F4 on a connected person, you can search him.
- you can run by pressing ALT, if the server allows it.

Containers.

Some props on the server have the ability to contain any items. These can be cabinets, garbage cans, and more.
The container menu looks like this:

You can put your (other's) things into containers for storage, but if the container is not under a password (administrator), then there is a chance that someone will take your things from this container. Be careful.

Useful and necessary commands available to the player.

/ apply is your first command to be used on the server. Having registered this command, you will give your name, surname and CID, as well as get to know all the people around.
/ me is the main weapon of a good person who plays on a roleplaying server. Here you can describe your actions that are not technically foreseen. The better you describe your actions, the bigger and more beautiful they are, the better for you, because you won't find good RPsters in the daytime with fire.
Good example:
/ me put his heavy suitcase on the floor, took out his CID card from the inner pocket of his blue vest and showed it to the officer opposite.
Bad example:
/ me Put the suitcase down and gave the card to the officer
/ me sighed
/ me Went further
As you can see, reading a bunch of texts in lines is very inconvenient, not beautiful, and such a person kind of tells us that he doesn't care how to act out. He does not respect people, and therefore few will entrust him with anything. Also, write your actions with a small letter, for this is already the next part of the sentence. The first will be your Name and Surname, and the text that you wrote will be your action.
/ it is a secondary command of a good RPshire. Describes the actions that take place around.
Good example:
/ it When the citizen handed the card to the officer, a notification was sounded that citizens from the newly arrived train should immediately drop off their luggage and go to the GSR office for check-in.
Bad example:
/ it someone in the queue kicked a lot
/ it all shut their noses
This BAD example shows all the irony and "fun" of the situation. But be prepared for the administration to apply a whip and straps to you so that you do not do this anymore and do not clog the chat with a large number of actions.
/ y is a shout. You can use this command to shout something to someone further away from you to hear normal speech.
/ w is a whisper. If you have any personal RP information for a person next to you, then come close to him and write through this command what you wanted to tell him.

Basically, that's all you need to know at this point in terms of teams. Further more.
Now is the time to get acquainted with the factions. About them below.

Civilians.

As you can see, when we clicked on it, we were presented with a small summary of information about us. What is our name, what is our CID, the number of our loyalty points and violations, as well as our place of residence and our status as a citizen.

Everything in order:

Our name and surname, CID - everything is clear here.
Loyalty Points (LO) are points that show your loyalty to the Alliance. This is necessary in order to enter some structures of the Alliance (Civil Defense, GSR and others). And it also contributes to a softer attitude towards you of civil society employees, getting an additional ration .. in general, this is a very good thing if you are going to stay in the city.
Violation Points (OP) are also points, but opposite to OL. They show your level of "danger" to society. If you are detained again, they look at your amount of HE, then additional sanctions may be applied to you, up to cutting off (death).
Place of residence - specifically on our server it is 1 letter and 3 numbers. The letter denotes the block of apartments in which you live. For example, block A is located in the main square, it is difficult to miss it. The first number represents your floor, and the last two represent your apartment number. On the door to which you will approach there will be its designation, so you can figure it out right away.
Your status is usually a short CITIZEN, but if you try very hard, it can change to ANTI-CITIZEN, that is, "intruder". This will mean that you are a threat to society and you need to either be isolated ... or killed. Be careful.

What to do in the city?
There are not many activities for an ordinary citizen of the city. Your leisure time and work should be determined by you so that you do not get bored. But, if you need money or communication, it is best to contact the office of the Civil Union of Workers (GSU). On each server, the location of the office is different, so it will be better if you ask a GO employee or another citizen for directions to the office.
Talk to an employee in a respectful, competent manner about the job. I think he will not refuse you, if he is not particularly busy. Later, just follow the instructions given to you by the employee.
Also, sometimes the civil defense officers themselves can call a large convoy to work. Unlike work for the GSR, this work is mandatory, and approximately 50% of all citizens who are not currently employed should participate there. The notification about this work looks like this:
The Citadel / Center / Dispatch / Dispatch is a central system for alerting the civilian population of any event. You may have heard this female voice in Half-Life 2 when the intruder was announced, various codes were canceled, and more. This is also his responsibility. But all you need to know is that sometimes very important things are said there.
Let's say that you found a job, found your apartment, and, in principle, settled down in the city with your friend or alone. It will be better if you find friends in arms on the server, get to know someone in order to spend time together and enjoy communicating with other people. If you have not yet figured out where to determine your destiny, then you need to wait for some events (Events) that will stimulate you to take any action.
A couple of examples:

Announcements of recruitment to the Civil Defense - this happens if the command staff of the civil defense does not have enough people to protect the city. Usually, with this announcement, all interested citizens must gather in the place where it was announced in this very Dispatch, which was mentioned above. How this set goes depends on the server, everywhere there are rules and foundations. Example of a declaration:

City Administrator Speech (GA / SA) - an event in which the GA announces something, or simply tries to lure more people to the side of the Alliance. But, usually, this happens in order to stimulate civilians to earn OL and become part of high society. By the way, having earned a certain amount of OL, you can meet with him. Sample speech:

Breakthrough of the forbidden sector (D6 / District 6) - an event in which a group of members of the resistance was able to break through the defense of the forbidden sector, and now there is a temporary opportunity for all willing citizens to escape there and become part of that very resistance. Of course, GO employees will not disregard this. Example:

These are the main events that take place on any server. But, each server is unique in its own way, so the set of these events may differ.

Civil defense. Introduction, equipment.

At the moment, this is all the necessary information for every GO employee. Your commanders will tell you about ammunition and other subtleties.

Workers' Civil Union.

The Civil Union of Workers (hereinafter: GSR) is an organization created to provide the city with employment, its improvement, as well as the organization of any events within the city. It mainly consists of people who, for some reason, could not enter the GO, or did not want to be completely loyal to the Alliance. The work is not easy, it requires a lot of perseverance, but it is a more important backbone than Civil Defense, because if the civilian has nothing to do, these guys will be to blame. They deserve respect for their patience.
The faction itself is very simple, and the leader of the structure will explain all the nuances to you, so we'll get by with a small FAQ for this faction:

Q: How do I join the GSR?
A: Contact the GSR staff with this question. The standard criteria are the presence of OL, the desire to do "dirty" work, and a lot of online.
Q: What is special about this faction?
A: The peculiarity is that these people are equal (or even higher) than the usual loyalists. If a loyalist can earn OL simply by handing over to a counter-band, then the GSR employee does not need to prove his loyalty. He already does a lot for the city.
Q: Is it possible to help the rebels playing for this faction?
A: Of course. Nothing physically can stop you from helping someone with anything, but it is worth considering the fact that people with pure faith in the Alliance are accepted for service in the GSR, therefore such rat employees must be approved by the server administration.
Q: Can I join GO as an employee of the GSR?
A: Of course. You may even be given priority on the set, maybe even help with some particularly sensitive questions, because you have already proven your loyalty and need for the Alliance.

City Administrator.

The City Administrator is a local deity. The tasks of this deity include the distribution of posts in the structure of the GSR, carrying out various kinds of events in the city, interacting with the loyal population of the city and pushing boring, useless speeches. The very work of the City Administrator (hereinafter: GA) is very privileged - still, this is the second person in the city after the Sector Commander (SeC). He also has a very important role in civil society, sometimes he even takes the reins of this structure into his own hands, if there is no one else to do this.
The GAs themselves in the history of Half-Life 2 are an official who is assigned to each city by order of the Administrator of the Earth (Wallace Brin). Carrying out the work of the pre-war Mayor of the city, he, at times, makes the residents nervous by the fact that he has a very high self-esteem, and practically does not care about the affairs of the city. But, nevertheless, there are those GAs who work diligently to ensure that the Alliance and the city flourish. Know that the closer a city is to City 17, the harder it works.
On each server, the person who plays the GA is unique. Someone can introduce a Party system on the server, someone can collect Loyalist Councils, but someone doesn't really do anything. It is pointless to write down any particular things about him, and as in the case of the GSR, we will get by with a simple FAQ about him.

Q: How do I become a City Administrator?
A: He is usually appointed as the Super-Administrator of the server, so it makes sense to ask the Administration about this role. But, sometimes, if the online server allows, a kind of "election" to the City Administrators can occur. But, you see, it will look strange. But interesting.

Q: Who are Assistants?
A: These are the second people after the City Administrator. Assigned to them. They have a specter of secondary duties ranging from "bring me coffee" to "hand over a scientific dessert about teleportation of particles within the same multiverse." Usually, these are trusted people who have some unique skills. Where to get them - the GA himself decides.

Q: Does he even leave his palace?
A: Certainly. Usually, when such an important person leaves his 4 walls, the streets are blocked. But in order not to load the GO apparatus, the GA takes bodyguards with it. This was done by a GO unit with the rank of EpU, now it is the work of the Superhuman Patrol Unit (OTA).

Q: Someone said something about the Party. Is this LORNO?
A: Certainly not LORNO. But in favor of the interestingness of the game, of course, sometimes you have to retreat from the ENT. By itself, HL2RP is very limited by its own history. If you think about it, then in the original there was no mention of other cities, sectors, organizations. This is all improvisation, but according to the logic of things, such structures must exist.

Superhuman Alliance Patrol.

Alliance Army Soldiers / Superhuman Patrol Units / Patrol Soldiers (OTAs) are highly trained, excellent teammates and use a variety of combat tactics infantry troops. It is the main military force of the Alliance on Earth.

First of all, these are special-purpose soldiers who, in "peacetime" times, operate outside the boundaries of cities, where resistance forces are hiding. It is practically impossible to meet at least one Soldier in the city, because those who look at them can be destroyed. In moments when civil defense officers cannot cope with the rebels, it is these guys who come out.

The mass production of the Patrol Soldiers began immediately after the first Citadel appeared. The Alliance tries to tame every enslaved creature. This also affected people, but only those who were in very good health. First of all, these were captured soldiers of state armies, special forces and other special units of different states, since their health was somewhat stronger than that of ordinary people. Over time, the OTA began to recruit Civil Defense personnel, because there were simply no healthy people in the world in advance.

This faction, in spite of its "closeness", sometimes "unnecessary" surprisingly has its own clear standard structure with a small rank system inside. All about this below.

OTA rank system.

(OverWatch Soldier) - The standard overwatch unit. Obey the orders of the Center and the squad leader (usually EOW). Has no opportunity to think freely in spite of specialization. They act as a brute force in suppressing riots and storming buildings, as well as taking an active part in clashes outside cities. Has secondary surgery.

(Elite OverWatch soldier) - Elite Overwatch unit. Submits to the decrees of the Center and the highest ranks of the GO. Some unit specializations have the ability to think freely. They are engaged in the protection of objects of special importance to the Alliance, in the most extreme cases they take to the streets of the city. Additional surgery is underway.
These are all ranks in the OTA structure, but there are more specializations (units). Here they are:

GUARD is an EOW rank unit specializing in the protection of VIPs. They could be City Administrators, Earth Administrator, High Command Headquarters, or those ordered to be protected. Since they guard people, and standing still and humming something under their breath is not appropriate and annoying, they were given the ability to maintain a conversation with their "client". Of course, they can support some kind of conversation. But not with those to whom the "Protect" order does not apply.
STORM is an elite assault squad, which includes units from the OWS to EOW rank. They are engaged in storming buildings, cleaning sectors with special training.
ECHO is a versatile free-use squad, it includes units from the OWS to EOW rank. Usually they are engaged in protecting the borders of the city, as well as attacking the settlements of resistance outside the cities.
SPEAR is a special purpose squad, also sometimes called "squared special forces", it includes units from the rank of EOW. They are engaged in the elimination of specific individuals who are not pleasing to the Alliance. The smallest detachment.
NOVA is a prison guard detachment. It includes ONLY OWS units, controlled by the Center. Widespread in prisons for high-risk prisoners. They are engaged in torture, interrogation (in a particularly harsh manner) and amputation of especially violent offenders. Have the ability to think freely. It is possible to be present inside the Nexus Oversight as a guard in the prison block.

Small FAQ.
Q: How to become an OTA unit?
A: As mentioned in the description above, you must have a rank in GO (usually starting from i3 you can apply for this), and there must be a need for OTAs themselves.

Q: I noticed and became convinced many times that OTA is a license to kill. Why?
A: Everything is quite simple - many servers put OTA above all other factions and give them huge advantages. Because of this, many players who play for OTA simply stop paying attention to the RP process. If you notice this, then my advice to you is that it is better not to play on such a server. This is an indicator of decay.

Q: What is the general "trick" to play for OTA?
A: Not with anything. It's just that if someone wants to shoot like in some Counter-Strike, then this faction was created for them. But, if you want to see RP here, then it is worth playing for the unit of the GUARD squad, since you will spend most of your time with the City Administrator (if there is one).

Q: Is it possible to betray the OTA Alliance and join the rebels?
A: Impossible. You are completely under the control of the Center, as all OTA units undergo surgery to place implants in the brain. Your actions must be synchronized with the command.

Q: Is it possible to "hack" OTA?
A: Not possible in the current percept. This is not a machine for you, they are even bio-robots only 20%, and in addition, surgical intervention, given the lack of resistance or other people of the necessary equipment, such an idea will be doomed to failure.

Rebels.

The rebels, or as they are also called "rebels, resistance" - are people who "categorically" deny the Alliance's authority over the human race. Many may say that they are engaging in some kind of machinations aimed at directly overthrowing the Alliance, but this is not the case. First of all, rebels are people who fled from cities under the city itself or outside the city in order to stop being the object of the Alliance's surveillance. In general, they are engaged in survival where it is, in principle, impossible to live, and where the Alliance will not go. If they were going out all the time, I think they would be in big trouble, right?
The insurrectionary movement did not have a clear structure and organization, but over time, the first groups of people began to appear who fled to the canals, beyond the cities, into the forests, and who gathered in groups just to survive and help others survive. Later, under the leadership of Eli Vance, the first combat detachments were formed, which, if not attacked, then they could certainly defend themselves. The main sign of a true rebel is the Lambda sign, inscribed in a circle.

The rebels, it was said, are people who have fled the city in search of a "better life", but this is only the majority. Some people have not been under the control of the Alliance even after the seven-hour war, such as Eli Vance and his entourage. Also, some lower-ranking GO employees who were "opened their eyes" to the "terrible truth" about the Alliance, who were able to escape along with others, also joined them. But for now, the rebels are a weak force that the Alliance will not pay attention to if it does not revolt.

There have long been rumors among civilians that there are people who are fighting for freedom for all of humanity, so some citizens could even tell you how to get to them. But do not forget that the Alliance has its own eyes and ears everywhere.

On most servers, the rebels are a formal organization with their own leader, their own foundations and rules. But in the best traditions now, these are people who gather under their own leadership. That is, if you gather a group that will oppose the Alliance without even having weapons, you will already be equated with the rebels, which means the rebels.

All information about weapons, equipment and ranks (if any) is explained by the leader (if any). Therefore, it is pointless to paint anything here.

Timeline.

Literally translated as "time line". This is a chronology of events and their description.

At the Black Mesa Research Facility, an incident occurs, resulting in a cascading resonance, which in turn has led to the indiscriminate invasion of beings from the world of Zen through open portals. Black Mesa is destroyed with the help of both the creatures and the government's rapid reaction forces. The earth is plunging into chaos, portals are opening everywhere, "portal storms" begin. Through them, aliens from Xena invade in heaps, trying to escape from slavery by the Alliance on their home planet. The Intergalactic Alliance is watching and doing nothing.

Portal storms continue, people flee from small towns and villages to large ones in order to somehow hide. Large cities are surrounded by walls and troops are brought in, they become strategically important strong points. But, despite all the efforts to contain the hordes of aliens, it is difficult. The population of the land fell by 10%, and the birth rate fell to a minimum. Many third world countries have ceased to formally exist. Many leaders put aside their geopolitical interests in order to save the population from death (Russia, USA, France, Germany, China, etc.). The UN Security Council submits resolutions promoting the unification of countries in the fight against a common enemy. The truth about what is happening was revealed to the public, such personalities as Wallace Breen, Isaac Kleiner, Gordon Freeman, Eli Vance are named. Despite the disclosure of the truth, many people ignored these claims.

2004-2005 year.

Vortigaunts, a race of humanoids from the parallel world of Zen, became uncontrollable and free after the death of Nihilant. Since the end of 2003, the Vortigaunts began to surrender en masse to people. Over time, after it became known that their actions were controlled by other beings (Nihilanth, Controllers). People treated them kindly, despite all the damage brought to humanity. Since mid-2004, the Vortigaunts have taught humans to cope with the attacks of other creatures from Xena, have learned to speak different languages of people and have been completely assimilated by the latter culturally and verbally. They worked in factories as "endless batteries", as cooks and in other technical / humanitarian professions.

The Intergalactic Alliance, observing what is happening for six years, finally decides to bring its troops to earth through the portals and enslave both earthlings and again free creatures from the planet Zen, killing two birds with one stone. Countless armies begin to arrive through the portals. A war begins which lasts only 7 hours, later it will be called the "seven-hour war". During the war, people flee the city, not wanting to be captured by the Alliance, behind the cities they manage to stray into groups and hide from alien troops. During these 7 hours, the Alliance manages to destroy most of humanity in cities, modify the soldiers taken forcibly captive to the conditions of what is happening, and in the end enslave the earthlings, with the help of Wallace Brin, a scientist from the Black Mesa complex, who in turn invited people to lay down their arms and obey the guests, to which the earthlings agree. Wallace Breen subsequently becomes Administrator of the Land. People outside the cities are starting to move farther from the places where the clashes took place.
From this moment on, the human race falls into an era of oblivion and exhaustion.
The question of why people lost the war is very simple - all countries were exhausted from the attacks of aliens from the world of Zen, so waging any wars would be fatal for all people, and the launch of Nuclear Missiles would be considered a declaration of war and an act of aggression against other states. ... For 7 hours, the World Government could not agree on the introduction of universal military service, the unification of the command centers of all countries and the authorized launches of Nuclear Missiles.

The UN headquarters is being destroyed. The construction of the main command center of the Alliance begins - the Citadel, which was built in just a few months from material not yet known to mankind. The population of the planet begins to be sorted: quite healthy, middle-aged, they are sent to reservations created in cities. Old people, children, sick and wounded, the Alliance takes and simply takes away, then their fate is unknown. All the soldiers who managed to survive and be captured by the Alliance are taken to the citadel, where after the modifications they become soldiers of the patrol (Overwatch Transhuman Arm). People who escaped from the cities unite with the adapted creatures from Xena, and organize small groups of refugees, united by a common goal - to survive.

Cities in our current understanding are now destroyed. They were replaced by names like City-1, City-2, City-3 and so on. An internal Alliance police force - Civil Defense (GO) - is being formed. At the initial stages, anyone could enter this structure at will, having previously undergone a forced "sterilization" of their past life. These people also underwent a special course of drugs that stimulate the development of muscle mass, the development of intelligence and high endurance. Many of the GO employees, upon reaching a certain rank, were forcibly sent for modernization to the patrol soldiers (OTA). The main media become completely controlled by the Alliance, the rest simply disappear, and the media are also heavily censored. On the part of the resistance, a parallel propaganda of freedom for humanity begins, but to no avail. The first Ant Lions hives begin to appear under and beyond cities.

Civil associations of allied workers are formed under the authority of the Civil Defense. The Workers' Civil Union is its name. Providing the population with food, clothing and a roof over their heads falls on their shoulders. Since this year, joining the civil society structure has become more difficult than before. Now, joining this structure requires loyalty, higher intelligence than the rest.

The former maximum security prison "Nova Prospekt" is reopening. It accommodates anti-citizen citizens, as well as political prisoners, Resistance fighters and problem citizens. The object is used to "transform" people into stalkers, soldiers of the Alliance Patrol, as well as the production of synthetics, etc. using the technologies of the Alliance. The supreme rulers of the Intergalactic Alliance outside the earth, decide to establish a "field of suppression" on the ground in order to stop the reproduction of people. And they succeed. The people remaining on earth become the last generation of their planet.
The first official census of the world's population was carried out this year.
Numbers:
Civilians: 3,543,351,000
Civil Defense: 2,000,000,000 people
Civil Union of Workers: 124,543,120 people.
Resistance (Alliance estimates): 1,500,000

The Alliance begins to drain the oceans of the land, thus preparing the territory for the future resettlement of new captured creatures. Ant Lions hives now have a very large space to populate. The Eastern Black Mesa resistance base is being created. Mass production of synthetics of a new type from earth resources begins in the Citadel. In parallel, the Alliance begins to develop a teleport within the same universe under the leadership of Judith Mossman. The development of the teleport took 6 years.

The rest of the detailed information is contained in the special group of the faction.

Civil Defense Organization(the inner city police) maintains law and order in City 17, and controls the citizens of the city's citizens.

general information

Civil Defense officers (metrocops, geoshniks, patrol officers) can be found at all posts in City-17. In addition, they patrol the surrounding suburbs. GO soldiers are collaborators who joined the ranks of the GO to improve their standard of living. Unlike Alliance soldiers, they are not physically modified, although their respirator helmets distort their voice.

Armament and equipment

The GO fighters are armed with paralyzing electric batons, Hk USP pistols, MP7 submachine guns, and M-83 anti-personnel grenades, each wearing dark green uniforms, black leather boots, and a white respirator helmet. The belt is equipped with a vital activity monitoring system and a Geiger counter. Some employees carry menhack stripping robots with them. Also, they often use stationary AR1 machine gun turrets. Civil Society employees can be easily identified by their frequent radio communications. Civil defense officers contact dispatchers to find out the current situation, new assignments, detected violators, personnel losses and other information. Civil defense personnel move around the city in transport helicopters, APC armored personnel carriers, and are often accompanied by scanners and robotic menhacks.

Tactics

The GO fighters, in comparison with the Alliance soldiers, lose to the latter in training and tactics. So, for example, GeOshniki shoot from the hip with MP7 assault rifles, and do not use grenades, and also, employees armed with pistols, react rather slowly to danger and shoot with a low rate of fire.
