Half-Life 2 vs. Hunt Down The Freeman - Synchronized Parallel POVs
I've had this idea since I discovered that Operation Whiskey Freedom actually added Gordon Freeman in the Ravenholm part of Hunt Down The Freeman.
I gotta admit, I've cut some corners here and there. Like how in HDTF Freeman shoots zombies with SMG at 35:10, but I noticed that only after recording HL2 footage where I did nothing, or how the buggy hole at 51:52 is definitely not underneath any sort of bridge, or just some really sloppy gameplay here and there.
That being said, I didn't want to try and fix some of these mistakes, because it's still HDTF even with all the improvements people at OWF have made.
You can also see I added couple of "waiting" periods for HDTF, because otherwise you'll get Mitchell spending less than a quarter of the time Freeman does to somehow reach roughly the same place at the same time. In other words, the catacomb and the town maps in HDTF are too damn short.

And big thanks to Torifeather for making the thumbnail look good
