Haha thats great. My favorite part is the sound effect for the handgun. "Bah, bah, bah, bah." | |
This is absolutely hilarious. I love it when he hits the railing "Ba-dew" | |
You think he would know how to spell the word "century".... This mod seems fun, for about 5 minutes, then you would wonder why the hell you downloaded it the first place. | |
That's pretty nifty, must have took a lot of comitment. I would like to see someone do somthing similar for Fallout 3, all those squishy head explosions would be hard to imitate. | |
Hilarious to watch, but I think it would get old and/or annoying after a few minutes... | |
And now whenever I ever see Gordon Freeman again I'm going to be imagining him making gun sound effects. I'm not sure whether to thank the mod maker for the hilarity that offers or slap him for permanently putting a slightly silver lined black spot in the character :P | |
Wow, that must've taken alot of time and dedication. Perhaps Valve should hire him to work on HL2: Episode 3. Maybe it'll cut down the 40 year wait time to only 35 years. Wouldn't that be wonderful. | |
1327? So close! | |
This is the greatest mod my eyes have ever witness.
Hahaha mines to. | |
It's nice to see a modder actually providing something different from your usual mods, quite a funny touch to the game, but I too imagine it getting to the point you want to pull your own ears off. | |
Oh my god, after watching this video I will never see Half Life the same way again. | |
Ok. I must now get Garrys Mod. and this thingy :p | |
I saw this on the Garry's Mod website a while ago. I'd get it, and probably laugh at it every time. | |
I'm so getting this mod. Anyone else notice that the bombs that the helicopter dropped sounded like those weird little imp things from Zelda: Wind Waker? | |
This must be mine. There is no other option. | |
What's intresting is that he's Russian. He says "next" when picking weapons. Sometimes it looks like entire territory of the former Soviet Union is a natural habitat of all things Crazy Awesome. | |
I think the weapons sound kinda cheap. We need a Bruce Campbell BOOM for the shotgun and rocket launcher. | |
This video makes me want to listen to system of a down... "Beimm boimm..." | |
The sound it makes when he walks on concrete is awesome "Dob, dob, dob, dob" | |
This mod would be perfect for that counter strike mod that replaces the guns with your fingers. | |
The grenade needed a completely uninspired "boom." That would've cracked me up. | |
Hey! I did the exact same thing with my friends for Counter-Strike 1.5! | |
yep, thats about how long it takes to not only get bored of it, but completely annoyed by it as well. honestly, i think its something that would be good for gmod movie makers out there to add in some extra laughs, but you DEFINITELY dont want to play though the game this way. | |
It made me smile a little bit at first, but Christ that would get annoying after about 30 seconds. | |
I really worry about people........... but at least I laugh at the same time... | |
That was hilarious, I'd definitely get that mod | |
This made my day. So pointless, yet so hilarious. | |
Nice. | |
Ha thats brilliant, I hope this guy does more mods like this for other games | |
I still prefer Nate Pack. I just wish he'd release the darn thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxNBQOWRtCg | |
Ridiculous yet awesome :P Oh, by the way, does anyone know the song in the background? Sounds like system of a down. | |
Awesome sauce :) | |
That's hilarious. The pulse rifle was done really well. You might think it's the actual sound effect. | |
Remind me of this when I'll play it next time. | |

Half-Life 2: Now With Vocal Sound Effects
An enterprising (and dedicated) modder has replaced the sound effects in Half-Life 2 with ones that give the game a slightly more ... "human" touch.
Making sound effects for guns is something that humans have been doing since ... well, probably since guns were invented. "Pew pew pew!" That's either a laser, or a Hollywood Silenced pistol. "Cha-CHNK!" That'd be the reloading of a shotgun. "Bachabachabacha" is a machine gun, and so on. That's precisely what dedicated Source Engine modder Tr45e did, demonstrating his mastery in a YouTube video.
With the exception of some ambient sound effects and the voice acting, his mod (available here) will replace every sound effect in Half-Life 2 with one generated by his own voice - all in all, he ended up recording and replacing an impressive 1327 sound files in total. Weaponry, footsteps, vehicle noises - they're all man-made, and while it strikes me that this mod is something that could wear on you very, very easily, it's pretty amusing to watch. The first half of the video or so is just him demonstrating the various sound effects - skip to about 3:35 to see some gameplay.
I think my favorite part about this is just imagining Gordon Freeman fighting the Combine while making machinegun noises as he fires. I guess he's not such a silent protagonist after all.
