At the end of the trailer you can see a tiny gameplay scene.
What would Half-Life 3 look like? We’ll probably never know, because back in 2020, Valve explained why the legendary game never came out.

The trailer showcases the world of the alien species Combine. Using fast tracking shots and wide-angle shots, it shows how the alien species prepares to take control of the Earth again.
Fans of the series will recognize old acquaintances from the games. During the tracking shot at the beginning of the trailer, the iconic headcraps can be seen, and a little later Strider staggers through the picture on her three oversized legs.
Half-Life hero Gordon Freeman also plays a role in the trailer. But see for yourself:

Given that it is a pure fan project, the trailer is produced in impressive quality. Donald Çela, aka Unknown Dino, manages to tell a little story in the three-minute film – visually and aurally.
