Was Dr. Breen really a bad guy?
He was essentially the only thing standing in the way of humanity's extinction. I mean, they were up against interdimensional colonists. What chance did Earth have, really? At most they would all die with what little dignity that remained.
He convinced the Combine that Earth had "value" and was the only thing keeping them from sucking the place dry and blowing it up. Why didn't Gordon see this? Why didn't he and Dr. Kleiner try to get him on the inside so he could at the very least try to get deep within the Combine forces, much like he did with Xen and the Nihilanth.
Maybe that was Breen's plan all along. Maybe he either wanted to use Gordon to help take down the Combine, or perhaps, in a sense, sell Gordon's soul to the Combine to use for their own purposes.
Fortunately we'll find out in Half Life 2: Episode 3 soon.
Who cares? Everyone is a pawn of G-Man anyway. The individual motivations of pawns are at the end of the day irrelevant.
>>318011460
How did he die again?
>>318013543
It is unknown whether or not Breen escaped to the Combine homeworld, or was destroyed with the Citadel.
The ambiguously canon Twitter account that Marc Laidlaw runs suggests that Breen was transported to the Combine homeword through some sort of vessel, but simply stored away and forgotten.
>>318011460
>He was essentially the only thing standing in the way of humanity's extinction
bruh the main goal of the combine is to assimilate them into their alien army. The human race was going to be extinct anyway. All he was doing was prolonging the inevitable in exchange for him having a cushy position in the upper combine ranks
Was this guy really a villain?
When the main party confronted him I found myself trying to figure out what they were there for other than Ashe getting revenge for her father.
Why can't we have a half life general? Is it because you didn't start off with the tie quote? I just want to discuss half life
>>318013784
Thanks anon. It's been years since I played any Half-life game.
>>318014416
I really just want to discuss Half-Life, too. I guess people only want to discuss HL when you start the thread with one of those unforgettable quotes.
>>318014742
>>318014416
you have to mention how scary the mawmen are
>>318014742
To answer the OP (I'm assuming that's you), maybe breen didn't *know* he was being a bad guy? I guess there's a chance he really did think it was best for humanity to be gobbled up by the combine, but I'm super positive that what I said in >>318013856 was on point, so whether or not he thought he was acting in Earth's best interest is a moot point
>>318011460
Gman was playing Breen the whole time too.
Everyone important in this series are pawns in his game of chess. Every single thing that happens outside of EP1 and most of EP2 while you are out of his sphere of control have been meticulously planned to happen the way he has planned it.
Breen was always going to be rekt by Gordon, because it's part of G-man's plan.
>>318015094
So why did G-Man kill Eli?
Was he really that mad about the Vorts stopping his control over Gordon?
>>318015094
Are you sure the Gman was controlling breen? He's been acting against the combine the entire time. While I do think that it was part of his master plan to have gordon wreck breen, I don't think gman was controlling breen at allunless there's something I'm missing
>>318015203
I don't think gman killed eli. gman doesn't have any sway with the combine
>>318015094
G-Man isn't really controlling anyone but Gordon. It's why Breen says that "your contract is open to the highest bidder" shit.
stop putting more thought into stories than the creators did
>>318015383
But gman was controlling Eli, as well. Eli brings it up at the end of episode 2
>>318015369
Well, he wanted to make sure Eli was killed. He tells Gordon to ensure Alyx gets to White Forest safely, and tells her to tell Eli to prepare for "unforeseen consequences".
Half Life has a "ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWA" story to it, you know Earth is going to win. Or all of the other alien races will rebel and the Combine will fall apart or something like that
>>318015758
Shit I forgot about the unforeseen consequences line, but I'm still convinced he didn't actively kill eli. I think he must have known it was going to happen, but him sending combine after eli goes against everything the gman is working towards, y'know?
So maybe because the vorts helped gordon fuck up the gman's plan, he knew they would get found out by the combine, and the gman couldn't stop it?

>>318011460
>He was essentially the only thing standing in the way of humanity's extinction.
Not really, the combine infected the water with some virus that didn't allow anyone to reproduce, so basically they planned for humanity extinction, that and all the resource drainage.
The combine knew what value had the earth before Breen actually told them anything, since you know, they have done the same deed countless times already and that is the main reason as why they came to earth, they have been draining it from resources since a long time as you can see how drastically the water levels decreased among other stuff.
If anything Breen actually helped the combine to subdue humanity faster due to his nonstop broadcast and preaching.
Nigger did you even play the goddamn games?

>>318017702
>the combine infected the water with some virus that didn't allow anyone to reproduce
silly goose that was the suppression fields that stopped reproduction. The water makes you forget
>>318016221
Who the hell knows, people only found his name because someone took apart the game files and looked at the 3d model name, and with valve being a comfy position of keeping money by doing nothing we will never know.
>>318015094
G-Man is the one controlling the actions of Freeman, but quite a few lines suggest that he is in the employ of someone else, and that this is all falling in line with their plan. The Episode 2 monologue encounter reveals a lot, including the fact that G-Man is sometimes under pressure from other parties and has to abide by certain 'restrictions'.
>>318017702
There's a suppression field stopping people from breeding, not the water. That's why Kleiner says people can start bangin in Episode 1, since it gets destroyed
>>318017702
>the combine infected the water with some virus that didn't allow anyone to reproduce

>>318011460
It all depends on your point of view. It has been seen across fiction that hiveminded organisms possess a great strength compared to humans who remain individualistic. Whether the Combine was simply going to use humans as slaves, (Stalkers), or as minions to conquer other worlds, (soldiers), it doesn't look like a good deal. Naturally humanity would fight back. But Breen supposes a different story...
(Judith leads the pod into a room with Eli and Dr. Breen talking)
Dr. Breen-..ancient stars colonized by sentient fungi. Gas giants, inhabited
by vast meteorological intelligences. Worlds stretched thin across the
membranes where dimensions intersect...Impossible to describe with our limited
vocabulary!
Breen envisions greatness for humanity. In the second map of HL2, Breen addresses a letter sent by a concerned citizen. Mulling on about how immortality is now within our reach. Immortality by becoming part of the Combine, perhaps? Now instinctively we recoil at this. I don't want to be a slave, neither do most folks I imagine. But what if being a "slave," was actually being part of a whole? What if human minds could be enraptured into one in the gigantic Combine consciousness?
Then humans could theoretically live forever. Not as individuals but as one! Think, my friends. When you go to a concert, you are together with hundreds, if not thousands of other people. Chanting the same lyrics, forgetting yourself in the whole that is the crowd. There is no "I," in that moment. There is just "the" moment. What if we could stretch that moment across an eternity? What if we could stretch that moment across a thousand eternities? Let us go into the void, as one.
Reminder that by killing the gonarch you fucked up the ecosystem
>>318018841
>Then humans could theoretically live forever
What would the "human race" even mean if we were all part of the same hivemind though?
Had Gordon not turned off the suppression field, that would have been the last generation of humans. Would the combine even have let "them" into the hivemind? Because up until that point, they assimilated the other races into their army, and not in this hivemind breen was talking about.
If they let one human into the hivemind, and killed everyone else, would that mean that "humanity" was still in the hivemind?
>>318019128

>>318018980
Xen was destroyed anyways. Who gives a fuck.

Who says the "human race" isn't an obsolete term in an age where if we lost our computers many important documents and memories would be lost forever?
>If they let one human into the hivemind, and killed everyone else, would that mean that "humanity" was still in the hivemind?
The one they chose would say yes. Everyone else would cry foul.

>>318019337
>him
>>318011460
We don't know. There's certainly some room to speculate that he wasn't.Just wait for the sequel.
Yes, he was really a bad guy, he was helping the combine keep order long enough for them to consume all of earth's natural resources and it's implied that he allowed the combine invasion to happen in the first place.
He is the one who instructed the scientists to use the anti matter spectrometer in such a way that would cause a resonance cascade, and it was agreed by the science staff at Black Mesathat this was unusual and potentially dangerous. It's possible that communication was established with the combine at some point during human expeditions to Xen and that Breen agreed to cause the resonance cascade on purpose and assist them with the occupation in exchange for great personal power.
How else does a SCIENTIST, not a politician or general or billionaire philanthropist or what have you, but a SCIENTIST, come to manage the surrender of Earth's forces? Because there was likely a pre existing arrangement.
>>318019410
>Who says the "human race" isn't an obsolete term in an age where if we lost our computers many important documents and memories would be lost forever?
Important documents and memories won't matter if there aren't any humans left. Humans existing are what matter, and as long as the human race still exists, the term "human race" of course wouldn't be obsolete. There's been a ton of old sacked cities, lost languages and texts. But humanity still soldiered on.
>The one they chose would say yes. Everyone else would cry foul.
See, I don't see how you could use the concert metaphor if you claim that one human in the hivemind would be "humanity." It would be one human in a sea of other species. But I guess now we're getting into the territory of shedding humanity entirely, and the hivemind being the new "species." But if that were the case, humanity would still be gone, and I'm really not sure if that would be worth it
>>318020080
>Important documents and memories won't matter if there aren't any humans left.
>See, I don't see how you could use the concert metaphor if you claim that one human in the hivemind would be "humanity."
But see this is your conjecture that the Combine would only accept one human.
And of course it's my conjecture that the Combine would accept us all. So yeah.
So what exactly is Gordon fighting for? And why did the gman choose Gordon? For all we know Gordon simply showed up to work on a bad day which then created the giant domino effect. But why is it that we assume Gordon is to be earths savior? Why was the assignment only given to gordon and not some other soldier who could be better equipped and trained? Is it because Gordon is an analog for the player and its a video game and due to tropes in video games the player thinks for Gordon and assumes he is there to save the day despite being some average physicist?
>>318016221
G-man just exists to provide trippy cutscenes, and that's not a bad thing
>>318020394
And don't mistake this as me copping out it's just we're getting into speculative territory where neither of us knows what the Combine want. I was attempting to rationalize what Breen may be thinking, but in all likelihood given that the Citadel has an innumerable amount of humans in pods, stalkers in pods, the state of Nova Prospekt, the Combine just want humanity's teleportation technology.
>>318020394
Oh, I didn't think that the combine would only let one human in, I guess I was trying to figure out what humanity would even mean if we got eaten up into a hivemind. And I'm guessing humanity wouldn't mean anything at that point. And now my head hurts and I've lost track of what I think I was trying to get across.
>>318019595

>>318019812
just because he was the administrator of a research lab that doesn't necessarily mean he was a scientist
>>318020602
>why not other soldier better equipped and trained
because soldiers are useless compared to him, just watch how he wrecks the shit out of people with military training, military assassins, aliens, alien warmachines, and misc in the first game, not to mention people with his same equipment also failed in tasks he does as seen by the dead bodies in test suits on xen, then gman takes special interest on him as the game proceeds eventually grabbing him by the balls and freezing him in time to use him for his hidden purposes which are only stated to be dictated by a contractor.
WHEN IS SHEPHERD COMING BACK
>>318013543
>>318013784
>>318014514
It's implied he's the grub you see get launched out of the Citadel in a pod in Episode 1, and possibly the one you find in the barn in Episode 2, and maybe even the one that kills Eli.
>>318020602
The gman chose Gordon because he managed to survive black mesa and kill the nialanth or however you spell it. I think the gman started to observe gordon, but I don't think he chose gordon until the end of half life, when he recruits him on the space train
>>318021043
Why couldn't G-Man also send in Adrian Shephard?
>>318021204
How is he a grub? Unless he malted into one. Or was one the whole time.
>>318021271
He wiped his memory and sent him to the future to combat other terrestrial threat :^)
>>318021271because valve will never use adrian in their games ;_;
but I think valve considers the expansions to be cannon, right? So there might be a chance?
>>318021363
You see him talking to a grub in ep1 (I think) and he's talking about them giving him a host body
>>318021363
When talking to the Combine just before Gordon arrives, he says something about needing a vessel. His mind is placed inside of a Grub so he can survive the Combine homeworld's environment.
>>318021363
To clarify, I mean an advisor, not the antlion grubs.
>>318021408
adrian shepherd is basically Schrodinger's cat right now
>>318021408
Well, there's keyboards with his name spelled out by different colored keys in portal 1 or 2 as a neat easter egg, so you have that going for him at least.

You know what would be great? Half Life 3.
Breen was a pragmatist in that he did what he felt had to be done to save what he could of humanity. However, he was also a coward more interested in self-preservation than the human resistance. He also shows pride in his role and status which manifested itself in obnoxious condescension towards Gordon.
So he had noble aims but human character weaknesses. All in all, an interesting and believable antagonist.

They wrote themselves into a corner. Not to mention because it's been so long people will be expecting nothing short of perfection, which is obviously not going to happen. Unfortunately they've given up, they don't need to make HL3 now that they can thrive off the games of other devs.

That's a possibility.

For all the shit that Valve gets, I feel like they are some of the best when it comes to videogames.
Their animation, art work and voice acting is absolutely top-notch.

Dr. Breen was buying humanity some time - in part for his own benefit.
Dr. Freeman is trying to save humanity for good. For the greater good.
His hand gestures reminds me of someone.

That's obviously on low settings or something.
Everything is fine here in Nova Prospekt, according to everyone here in Nova Prospekt, sources inside Nova Prospekt said today. There is absolutely nothing about the situation in Nova Prospekt that is anything but totally fine. "There have been no unusual events or circumstances inside the former prison, now a theme park for humans, with rides and candy and cute puppy dogs and soft pillows," said Doctor Breen, the very handsome, smart, and kind administrator of City 17 and Nova Prospekt. "Really!"

You forget that vayne had something greater in mind, mankind freedom, and he got his wish at the end, mankind is forever free of the occuria.

Way too frigging long ago. Even Freeman's Mind finished last year.

Still hoping for a proper unveiling of Source Engine 2 with HL3. Maybe they'll port all their big games to it? Who knows at this point. All we can do is wait either way.

I think from his perspective humanity was a lost cause and he was just trying to save his own skin and become an advisor.
>>318028808
wasn't he in for like a half a second when you were teleporting everywhere?

>He was essentially the only thing standing in the way of humanity's extinction. I mean, they were up against interdimensional colonists
You mean those weak babies you kill in droves? A single military dude in 1 could probably take out a squad of them.
>>318045969
That's a metro cop
They're humans that joined for more privileges
>>318030257
These guys are the soldiers
Also keep in mind that they used their real military to take over earth
>>318046525
And they were still babies you killed in droves
I want to learn more about synths. I always felt bad killing them when they let out one final scream that sounded like a whale
