heard Gman movin around on the catwalk above
electricity doesn't do a ton to him this first go around but does hurt and seems to paralyze him for a moment. Muscles seizing and all that
rescinds his disdain for everyone who died. Admits it's a bit difficult to live under the circumstances
"white men in armoured hazmat suits can't jump" SIR

bounces back quickly!
just goes and shoves some words together. For fun!
dislikes the ammo being covered in blood. Considers leaving it behind because if that
impacts still hurt. High impact reactive armour this is Not
e7
simian instincts strike again

came home to a guy impaled on his window's insulated glass. Explained that to the police.
"kind of like glass in a way" fragile and lacking a smell? got it
"GYAHH" high pitched scream!
has been hit by many tasers over dates.
pepper spray is worse.
first instance of sonic damage (gun in air vent)
some guy named Jessie would electrocute himself on his bed and end up paralyzed for an hour for fun. Sounds fun tbh

Wait wait wait, Hostile Takeover ? TF2 canon with HL ??? You gotta say more pleaaaase 🥺
okay so hostile takeover was a cancelled half life expansion done by 2015 studio, taking place at a another facility of the black mesa company called allied processing whose job it was to go to xen to mine and bring back damples for black mesa and would take place during the rescas, the character you would have played as was, accoridng to marc laidlaw a "jounior gman" type of character who gman was essentially testing for "something" 2015 studio was not told what exactly,
the expansion was supposedly 60% done and "90 dyas away from going gold" (and actually could be played thru tge entire game technically) when it was cancelled by valve in 2000 becuz either valve or sierra didnt want to over saturate the market for half life
where team fortress comes in is that the player eouldve been able to utilize the tfclassic mercs (which valve had recently aquired) as allies who worked at the facility, so tbh my 3am brain was prob accidentally misleading as to the canonicity of teamfortress to half life as this wouldve drastically altered teamfortress lore as we know it today
but yeah, this pack wouldve had sum neat feayures like the remote controlled car bomb, the vortigaunt gun, a mjnor parkour element, and similar npc escort elements to hl2ep1 with alyx, the "big houndeye", and zombified mknkeys which acted like fast zombied and tho unmentioned in the article reminds me of the monkeys from return to ravenholm
u can read about it here
