They're almost trying to warn their own or their situation. What makes it worse is that it's probably being communicated over their radio, too.

Zombine *sees freeman* Zombine: sector is.... Not... Secure..... Freeman: oh ok

Imagine You're clearing out an area known for being infested with headcrabs and have heard about no squads coming back Then you hear your radio just boot up and a dead soldier begins to inform you The area isn't secure and necrotics are nearby How terrifying, genuinely sickening, and sad that would be to hear someone you knew and confirmed is dead talk to you over a radio

The thing is with the zombine you can hear a beep at the end of their idle sounds so....their radios are still on after death? are the non infected combines just listening to their infected buddies talking to them from the grave....damn that's dark....

Soldiers appears to have slightly more control when becoming a zombine as they are able to properly say words and even small sentences.

parasite = headcrab biotic = xen creature ,headcrab , zombie necrotic = zombie necrotric inbound = verified headcrab pod launching restrictor = thumper (the anti antlion machine) bouncer = grenade (noted its worth mentioning that combine frag grenade bounce a lot and it have a beeping red light)

This is actually very interesting. Some people say the headcrab is just trying to mimic voices or there are some last recorded messages. I think the host is still alive and can feel the pain but cant control the body and any of his actions. The only exception is when there is suddenly any change headcrab has to react to such as spotting an enemy or being put on fire that breaks the full control of the headcrab for a second allowing the host to be conscious for that time. That's why zombine says these messages, zombies scream help me and zombine pulling out a grenade in attempt to kill himself.

Ok so, now that it has a beep at the end it means they're still contacting their buddies over the radio? That's dark. Imagine being a Combine soldier and then all of the sudden while fighting Gordon Freeman with your friends they all hear a distorted sound of another friend who is infected in a different location. That would be scary.

i heard a zombine said " help me !" once, that's really freaked me out

The zombies in hl2 are terrifying. They are basically people, trapped inside this hellish pain, waiting till they die, and be freed from their torture. Pretty fucking horrifying, ain't it?

Wouldn't wanna be alive with that thing on my head

The really fucked up thing about this is they're trying to warn other soldiers about Headcrabs in the area, imagine how terrified the soldiers would be hearing these distorted voices of fallen soldiers over the radio

This video is like 'how to pronounce SECTOR IS NOT SECURE, with Combine and Zombine'

2:14 "Shhhhiiiiiitttt..." **groaning angrily**

At least theyre still trying to warn their comrads even if theyre half dead

I think the headcrabs just take over the part of the brain that controls movement, so the host can still feel everything, but can only move on their own for a short amount of time. The the reason the zombine pull out a grenade is so they can end it quickly, which is pretty fucked up.

Just shows how horrifically the Combine twists the human body. The Combine's programming is so deeply rooted in their subjects minds the pain of becoming a zombie doesn't even prevent them from relaying their orders.

When the zombine says "sector is.... Not secure" it sounds like it's some lazy guy who hates his job

What I adore about the zombine is the creep factor, it is a human that has undergone so much brain washing that it isn't really phased by what has happened to it and is still trying to follow orders. Valves horror is just too good.

I used to be a combine like you, then I took a headcrab in the head.

The combine soldiers just on the radio and they hear: "Sector *Inhale* is not c-clear

Pretty sad, he’s trying to alert his comrades to the situation.

I guess you could say they're living a half-life now.

combine 1: KING DO YOU COPY zombine John: *SCARY ZOMBIE VOICES* SECTORRRR..... IS NOT SECURREEE combine 1: k more headcrab launcher incoming

1:15 Sector is... *fat bong rip* not secure.

zombine: SHIIT! Combine: SHIT!

I think that the Combine still has consciousness and it commits suicide to end the pain.

"Bouncer!" Whenever I heard it, I thought they said "Downstairs!

Love it how the person being controlled is trying to still warn everybody else in his troop or army that wherever he had gone would be infested our overrun, still some care in the enemy

1:25 sound like he vomits in his mouth alil...

1:15 at least they kept their sense of humor

the zombine are still alive and trying to warn other combine of the event and still try to end the pain by commiting suicide to kill gordon and himself

Is it just me or is it saddening that how even though they're barely hanging on and practically dead. They still call out to their comrades to warn them. Adds more to it since it seems like they have a hard time breathing at all

I like how desperately the combine soldier is trying to warn others that infestation has taken over

The fact that they breathe slowly when saying short sentences demonstrates the inmense pain they’re going through

it gives me chills thinking about how you are the combine soldier in the situation. you hear the beeping of the combine soldier who has now been the victim of a headcrab, you assume that it was freeman who killed him. but, the same voice talks to you on the radio, he doesnt sound the same, his voice is...slow and lifeless and you hear the grunting and painful wails of the soldier as he tries to communicate to you. this is an absolutely spine chilling narration that it gives me.

Normal: SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT Reversed: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT

1:34 I don't know what happened to me, but when the soldier said 'move' I died

The fallen combine soldiers are trained even after they got a headcrab on their head that's why they hold up their grenade to kill themself so they cannot feel any more pain

"Secrets"

The unidentified zombie noise at 1:04 sounds like a mix of a classic zombie death and alert sound.

Combine Soldiers have vocoders instead of vocal cords. As far as I remember, they have to think or something to speak. So speaking isn't all that hard.

These are one of my favorite zombie soldiers of all time. The 2 things we hate the most merged into one. also they are the only balanced zombie in the game. not too hard or easy

2:26 it's "extractor is" not "restrictors" and it makes no sense anyways for the situation. the combine soldiers say "extrator is live" when they are throwing a grenade at you during combat

So, when the combines get infected by a headcrab, they still use their lungs to talk via the radio. The combines actually resemble a bit of consciousness.

Zombines have more control over their body from the protective gas mask on their skull. This explains how they have the ability to take out a Grenade because they’re trying to end themselves. Also they can talk full sentences. It takes longer for the head crab to break down the helmet meaning they can control their body

A thing about combine soldiers. Their memories are replaced with combat data. So that's probably from where headcrab might be pulling combine call-outs.

If you reverse the zombie pain sound while burning its says"help god help"

While it may seem sad... the reason the Combine can speak so 'clearly' into the broken radio is because of interior cybernetic machinery. That same machinery has rendered whatever human race of the soldier obsolete and wiped. What remains is just a human shell controlled by machinery. So while the body remains alive, it's not really conscious as far as I know with combine lore.

I Feel Bad For The Zombines :(

I'd rather die than being controlled by a headcrab

Go home combine soldier, you're drunk.

Since zombines say "necrotics inbound" when they see you means they think you're a zombie. also when the pull out a grenade the say "bouncer" so they alert themselves about their own grenade. Also 1:41 *t* *a* *r* *g*

Imagine just chillin', enforcing the combine law. Then suddenly, through your radio one of your fellow squad members groans and speaks distortedly. You know he cannot be saved, yet you have to listen to his warnings and moans. Dark, isn't it.

C O N T A C T

i poop my pants when i see headcrab in game. imagine how it would be to see it in real life...

rip Combine :'(

That's impressive and scary at the same time I love this game

“Biotic *gag* overrun” *RRRR*

Finally I found a video on this. Thanks a ton!

1:10 I like the sound of the radio

Hello Zombine! I used to be a combine! .....oh!

I do love that they used sounds from the actual Overwatch soldiers to create the Zombine sounds. Valve either does it all the way or not at all (Except Half Life Source. We don't talk about Half Life Source.)

Hey thank you this is a great video!

I knew all but the zombie noises. thanks now I feel like a Easter egg hunter! :D

This is a torture for the part of the combine who is being controlled and being devour by yhr headcrab and trying to warn his comrades to the danger

Me walking towards the kitchen at 2 AM and i hear my mom eating something 1:20

2:15 the time that soldier trying to move but he cant because of headcrab stuck on his head until the infestation

2:16 is just low pitched version of Tyler1 making car sounds

1:09 Dat radio

Imagine fighting as a combine soldier and hearing your zombie teamate talking to you

i would like to think of this as most combine soldiers have been modified to such an extend that even the headcrabs do not have total control over them

I know the sector is not secure one

The kind of disturbing thing about this is at the end of the zombine idles you can hear the radio beep which means the other combines which are not infected hear the voices of fallen combines warning them about headcrabs

What's heard at 0:43 isn't the radio, but a zombie gasp. All the dialogue is cut up, slowed, or interrupted by the uneven breaths of the headcrab controlling the body. Which varies from shaky breaths, gasps, raspy exhales, snarls, and other wet throaty sounds.

Zombine: Hey Gordon, think fast ( Pulls a grenade ) Gordon with Gravity gun: ...( Throws )

Nice video!

Last man Combine soldier: ... Zombine: Bouunceeerrr...... Combine soldier : *IM FAST AS FAK BOIII...

Imagine you are the last combine alive in ravenholm, you start to hear your body's slowly talking in a distorted voice, You don't know the location or where it's coming from, but it is like it knows where you are.

Short and sweet I love it!!

The real reason why zombines don't have heads is because they attack you by holding up a grenade upon their head which explodes the head off.

The zombie are one of the most sad creatures in the entirety of half-life as they still seem to be alive, just not in control

Zombines have the most control when being influenced by a headcrab. They can even pull out their grenades to kill Gordon and themselves as a “last mission”

Wish more KZfaq videos were like this nowadays instead of endless filler

0:15 Apple-pen Pineapple-pen *Pen-pineapple-apple-pen*

0:32 the footsteps are slowed down cersion because Zombine is a zombie army

the fact some of these lines are being broadcasted over radio makes me want a game where you play as a team of combines trying to clear a headcrab infested area, and when a teammate dies and gets taken over these sounds play over the radio every so often, imagine how horrofying it'd be "hey man just cleared the warehouse, how's it looking over there" *silence* "you good man?" and then garbled screaming pours out of the radio

I really appreciate the message at the beginning clarifying that this is *not* about the classic zombie's reverse screams that most everyone knows about.

Huh, really fucking creepy.... Especially how the hosts can still feel all pain and they're still alive. (don't believe me? try setting a regular hl2 zombie on fire then reversing the sound of it on fire)

Just imagine: You're a combine soldier with his squad on a mission to find the missing teams then one of the radios turn on and you hear "Sector is....not secure" you question the situation and again, the radio boots up "necrotics nearby..." You are terrified, you continue but your guard is up all the time, next thing you hear " Biotic overrun" very close to your location and then they charge you, grenades in hand screaming. You open fire but there are too many, headcrabs start taking your teammates one by one and you're the only one left, you run but you can hear the radio booting up behind you. Terrifying thought, eh?

2:20 He didn't mention this but that sounds a lot like what a Poison zombie makes.

cool video :D i never knew this

when you're in ravenholm Gamer: *cassualy walking* Zombine: Sector... ( *breath* ) ...is not secure... Gamer:aight imma head out.

I actually find this quite interesting, as its known, Default Headcrab Zombies are still very much alive, and this logic properly applies to the Zombine. Some are probably questioning why the *Former* Zombine is headless when killed. Possible reasoning behind this is, as the Combine Soldiers themselves are pretty much Synthetic Humanoids at this point, and its known that Combine helmets are surgically attached to their heads, excluding Civil Protection, as they're still pretty much human, as what we see from Barney, as he can remove his helmet mask. Regarding this fact, its possibly safe to assume that the Headcrab has to attach itself to the Combine's helmet then penetrate that, then the skull, thus when the headcrab is removed, it takes the whole head, aside from the lower jaw. This logic doesnt apply to the default zombie, as the host has no helmet, thus the beak of the headcrab can directly puncture the skull. We can assume this logic for the Zombine would apply to the Elite as well, if there was an Elite variant of the Zombine, which can probably be said for a Zombie Metrocop as well.

*on the radio* Combine: Is anyone still alive? *a minute passes, confirming him the worst.* *then suddenly he hears the radio go off, in a weird, but, familiar voice* Zombine:Sector.... isn't secure.

Just imagine being a grunt and then noticing your commanding officer has disappeared, only to hear him on the radio like this. Since grunts still have a sense of humanity just imagine how they would react.

Zombie soldier: "yeah i think we have a zombie problem"

Overwatch inbound! Officer down all units- *COMBINE DEATH SOUND*

Even after becoming zombies. Bromance will never vanish.
