You can distinctly hear: "OH GOD HELP! HELP ME!"
shudder
I take it this means that the hosts are definately still alive (to some extent)
Poor bastards.

Just reading through the section on HL2 enemies on wiki and came across this. Have you ever played the zombie moaning sounds backwards.

Yeah just a little bit old but I'm glad you posted a link to the sound because I've never heard it before.

Just because you get something that sounds vaguely like "OH GOD HELP ME!" when you play the file backwards, doesn't really mean anything. It does seem rather likely the hosts are still partly alive though. In Uplink, you could see a scientist that wasn't under the control of the Headcrab yet.

Yeah, I remember that?
Didn't he say something like: "Hello? I can't see a thing!"

I'd upload the sound, but my computer with all my HL stuff on it is dead at the moment.

A lot of the weird sounds in HL2 are reversed.
Reverse the "citadel_scream_loop" sound. It's weird. It's not freaky, it actually sounds like a movie clip but I'm not sure.

dude, how else did you think they got those sounds? Its the oldest trick in the book!
For example, Ever see the movie called "Ghost" with patrick swayzee. In it the spirits sounds are just a crying baby played backwords, which gives a terrifying scream.

Pretty creepy. It's a simple trick though, to make something sound inhuman and alien by reversing it.

I don't think it is supposed to be anything special. halo does that too, IN H1 the elites were another marine's voice backward and slowed, and in H2 the jackals where also moddified sayings.
I think that is a neat trick, and it sounds alot better than just some guy moaning.

wait, I remember hearing that.
my guess: that was the zombie moan when ignited in the leaked alpha (which I played) and they apparently had it reversed for some reason.

lol.
The zombines talk as well. Thats much less freaky though. Actually I'd say it was more comical. The fact that the soldier has been headcrabed and at the same time still relays messages over his radio, warning his comrades of the incoming thread. Such as "Necrotics Inbound" and "Biotics overrun"

also, i like that part barney says "FUCK YOU!"I like the way they covered it in the game by dropping the citatel gates at the right moment.

This might prove usefull to me. Saying 'hello' in a most calm voice backward will sound like a blood freezing scream. Just listen: ollehhhh!

Hehe, if you play that citadel one backwards, at the end you can hear (in barneys voice) "Fuck me! Fuck you! Fuck you!". I think that is what Rimrook meant. Any way of extracting and reversing these sounds besides recording them with live feed into a sound recording program?

This zombie sound is not played backwards, it's just as it sounds in game. They even say "put it out" when they are on fire.. So in other words: the host is alive until the headcrab detatches from it's nerve system

Oh calm down Not like this forum is ever alive...
I remember first seeing Ravenholm in the E3 video and thinking how fun it looked when he blocks the door and the combine soldier kicks it open. Oh and the traps looked great...Shame they cut it out but the Missing Information mod lets you play it so I'm happy now

Me neither that did look fun...ah...the promises. I suppose it made sense to remove the soldiers from Ravenholm though, considering the storyline and all.
Oh and erm...WHO THE FUCK KEEPS BUMPING DEAD THREADS!?!?

This zombie sound is not played backwards, it's just as it sounds in game.Not True! The sound in the link in the first post in not in the .gcf file. In fact the "put it out" you mentioned is this sound played backwards.

Regardless, It's still freaky.

When Dog lifts up one of the Citadel support collumns to let you get to the underground part (when you're gaining access to the Citadel) he says
"Oh, and if you see Dr. Breen - tell him i said fu-<CRASH as dog releases the support collumn> -you"

For example, Ever see the movie called "Ghost" with patrick swayzee.throw the snacks in the bag and I'm ghost like swayze
Also that Barney clip - He indeed says the full thing, they just lower the volume at that part significantly to accomodate the crash sound. You can hear the whole thing if you open the file though.
