#hl2 beta conscripts

[r0yal-guardian]

Played through Half-Life 2 again with the excellent Beta Aesthetics mod, it surprised me at how different it felt, it felt much more like a 2004 game, ironically. Here’s some beta conscripts, I do prefer the Civil Protection but I kinda wish they were in the final game somehow.

The life and death of Korba, aka Conscript GF, during her isekai time in the Half Life 2 Beta universe.

For a longer time I was obsessed with what I call "dabeta", and I knew of it for even longer too. My passion didn't not fade away either, but I am less inclined to talk about it, knowing full well how I tend to bomb people with ramblings and aesthetics and "it was so dark and gritty, man!!!"

So, for a time, I would draw and put my Korba in various situations within the world. The general premise was that she would meet my other original character named Hecktor, who was a very gay very burly HECU soldier with a very specific speech impediment (talking like a HL1 HECU, stringed sound files and everything).

The two would join the Conscripts on the basis of Hecktor being in the actual military, and actually beinh black in Back Mesa (he got isekai'd by a Vortigaunt), while Korba lied about being in a military of sorts :) proved herself with her skills anyways so thats good.

THE two had non-specific roles in the Conscripts, went on some courier missions, met interesting people, and Korba even got to participate in some good ole marketing!

They would perish while tagging along with Freeman and Alyx through the late game of da beta, holding down a gate for the protagonists to pass through :( and have found themselves a long time later in the irl :D
