Tell me, Dr. Freeman, if you can: you have destroyed so much — what is it exactly that you have created? Can you name even one thing?
I thought not.
A revolution and a cult.

Yeah but you gotta think deeper anon!
What about watching things slowly go to shit as HL 2 goes down
Think of all the creepy inferred horror stuff in the intro where you can't fight back but more of that
Maybe even see a cremator or something!
Or cry because you can't make babies and as far as you know the human race is doomed!
Maybe you could wake up in the middle of the night and get headcrab'd because a higher up spilled his coffee on a console and shelled your fucking bathroom!

Does that means that the combine now knows all the weaknesses of the resistance?

They're like brain vampires in that sense, so yeah they know what's up, where people are hiding, resistance's plans, and so on.

So what do you guys think is in store for Gordon if he somehow ends up caught and punished by the Combine?
Considering how ordinary people get mutilated and turned into stalkers, they must have something especially nightmarish for him in store.

Except perspective that shifts what either right or necessity entails.
The problem with saying Breen does nothing wrong is that Freeman is the tool needed to save humanity, and Breen can't see that.
He saw humanity defeated overnight by a vastly superior race.
Then after years of hardship he was given the ultimate authority to safeguard mankind's meager future.
He didn't collaborate out of greed, he collaborated because he really though he could make things work out in the long run, a naive and foolish idea? Yes. But not a malicious one.
and then some old coworker of his comes flying out of fucking nowhere from the past, while at the same time becoming the face of the pitiful resistance within hours of appearing.
Of course he moves to stop this foolishness at any cost, but he. just. wont. die. He tries every dirty trick he knows, and sends a legion out to hunt him down.
He does all of this to appease the xenos leaders that are watching the unfolding situation intently, to piss them off and fail is to probably doom all of humanity.
Saying Breen dinndunuffin is foolish, saying he's a devil is stupid as well though.
Breen was blind, blind to what Freeman truly was, the hero mankind needed.
>>317912753
Who is he working for again?
I remember reading years ago about how he represent a faction in Xen world and wants freeman to free it from the combines.
>>317915476I thought we were quoting Spec Ops the Line

>stealing dialogue from Thief 2

>>317916260
Shut up Breen, no one will believe you are good.

the mere fact he convinced them not to just outright slaughter the entire globe is miracuous. Would you have rather him not do that and pick up a gun and die?

To kill for yourself is murder. To kill for your government is heroic. To kill for entertainment is harmless.

We have more chance to see a Opposing Force: Source than Shepard in HL 3.
>>317916164
>Indians were saved by the British
Some were. Just like with Breen.
Instead of a planet of vortugants, we've got some people left who would have otherwise thrown themselves on top of funeral pyres or whatever other stupid shit Indians were doing.
Real talk, Valve needs to do something big with Adrian Shepherd if they ever do make HL3.
The fans will love it, and it might save it from a Duke Nukem Forever fate.
>no alien grunts and controllers in the resistance

>>317908250
Obviously they don't, just like no one cares if you step on some ants.
>>317916596
Weren't the grunts just manufactured in factories? If the combine really are in control of Xen right now then they'd probably cease production of the alien grunts or use it for themselves.
As for the controllers I don't know what would happen to them.
>>317916596
Alien Controllers went extinct
Alien Grunts are just modified Vortigaunts
>>317916596
>>317916714
>According to Marc Laidlaw, the writer of the Half-Life series, Alien Controllers were part of the Nihilanth's support network, and, since they were partially controlled by him, may have simply died out after his death.
>>317906348
Will you ever get laid?
>>317916714
if the vortigaunts are all free, which all found ones are, then presumably the controllers are all dead.
being only miniature nihilanths, they were probably drones under its control, or were just blind servants or children of it, and fought to the death after its messy explosion.
>>317915603
That's exactly it, we don't know, and that's the point. His only target is the Combine and his every move has been made specifically to fuck them over.
Giving the Anomalous Materials lab the crystal sample that caused the resonance cascade? Entirely planned, albeit with a lot of collateral damage. Linking Xen and our dimension was intended to draw the Combine to Earth to recapture the wayward slaves Gman had just unleashed on Earth.
Allowing the Combine to enslave humanity? Also planned. It ties up an enormous amount of Combine resources on Earth, as well as creates a downtrodden people ready to rise up and act as a convenient distraction for his agent provocateur to fuck shit up while they are busy dealing with a citizen revolt.
I have no doubt that Breen being offed and the advisors finding White Forest leading to the advisors brainsucking Eli were his doing. Both were expendable tools who had outlived their usefulness long ago.
Aperture's Borealis (whatever the fuck it actually is) is no doubt the lynchpin of some aspect of his plan, but we'll never see how it pans out because fucking Valve is more interested in collectible digital hats and cash shops than actual games.
>>317902924

>When asked about this possible return in May 2007, Valve's Doug Lombardi did not dismiss it but stated that there were no plans of bringing him back at the moment or any time in the future and that for example he won't appear in Portal 2: "There's nothing being built today, there's no secret Adrian Shephard project going on right now, but that's not to say we won't ever come back and tell another Shephard story. He resonated with players really, really well. When we heard the pitch for Opposing Force, he resonated with us too. So we'll see."[8]
>In 2009, series' writer Marc Laidlaw also joked on his canon status, saying that Shephard is a bit like Schrödinger's cat: he is neither canon nor non-canon, depending on whether or not the G-Man may or may not have a use for him.[9]

There also are no plans to make him a talking character, as Newell considers making the player's companions more interesting and compelling seems a more fruitful avenue to explore.
>>317915097
That would actually be Eli's fault for accepting the sample from this totally legitimate suited guy who no one else can see. He didn't have to approve the the use of the sample. He knew something was up but he still took it, and ordered the lab assistant Gordon to insert into the mass spectrometer.

Nope. I'd watch an edited 2hr/part analysis though.
>>317917901
It would be: "You still owe me that beer, Barney".
>>317919006
How bad/good is HL2 RP really?
I play SS13 so i can deal with autism to an extent
Major fracture detected; Automatic medical system engaged; Morphine administered
why the fuck did they remove the ability to disable the guidance on the rocket launcher
I would love a spin-off with Adrian Shepard. You suddenly awaken during the rebellion and people start to notice you're kicking ass due to your military training. You become captain of a team of rebels. I'd like to imagine the finale taking place in a synth factory or a warehouse, ending with Adrian making a final sacrifice to further aid the resistance.
>>317919331
It's what's called 'serious rp' among the gmod community. So there's no out-of-chatacter talking, except in a special chat.
You're entirely in-character and do things in-character. So yeah it can get pretty autistic.
The most impressive thing is their script. They've put a lot of work into it, and it's really impressive.
Google "taco n banana" to get their forums. i think everything in gmod is automatic now so you wont need to download anything manually, just join the server and it will do it for you.
>>317902924
>Can you name even one thing? I thought not
Nice, Dr. Breen. Stop picking on mutes. If you gave him a fucking pen and some paper he might've told you.
All of the organic weapons are super cuties
Half Life 2 is worse off because it does not have any living weapons
This is a fact
>>317918841
And how about Beaky snake of terror (Tentacle)?
Also, there are 3 types of Combine: Guards, Soldiers and Elite, also Zombine.
>>317919753
Yea but the guards, soldiers, and elite are pretty much the same with slight adjustments
Also the Zombie are from the Episodes so I didn't include them like the Hunters
>>317919863
>the Zombie are from the Episodes
Zombine*
>>317919930
The episodes are part of HL2. Except when Valve sells them, they are different games.
>>317919863
>Yea but the guards, soldiers, and elite are pretty much the same with slight adjustments
Difference is bigger, metro guards do not have pulse rifles and APC support.
>>317919647

I am still salty that there is only one episode in SIN game. Also devs gone full casual. Fuck them.

At least I got to experience all of it in its prime.
You know, alot of things in HL 2 are really horrifying when you think about them

If everyone kept fighting, maybe we coulda pushed it all the way up to nine or something.
Someone remember this little gem?
I still have a physical copy, which apparently is not common.
>>317916886
I just want to say thanks for your in depth post. You have an analytical mind and are talented at recalling information and reiterating it well. I'm drunk - but if the whole videogame community could see as you do we'd be better off.
TLDR
I fuckin miss half life and good games
>>317922062
I wonder if I still have the complete works box with blue shift
>>317917645
What if...
...what if they make it so every time you die in the series is actually cannon? And I dont mean turning time back a bit each time, but us actually being treated to a different parallel universe each death until we finally arrived at the one where gordon just sorta happened to survive each and every encounter.
Actually, what if you're not the only one? And whatever organization the gman works for is actually gathering the "that guy" from fucking millions of universes?
Maybe to gather into the single most unstoppable army anyone has ever seen?
Wake up and smell the ashes mr Freeman.
>>317909772
Because dog came and fucked his shit up.
>>317922894

>>317925623
>why was so underlooked?
It came way after HL and started out as a mod.
Valve picked it up and put it in retails.
It's not on steam because Valve doesn't own the rights, thus forgotten by many.

>Another occasion of Breen's appearance is during a video recording of a conversation made during Half-Life 2, where he mentions being transferred into a "host body". After seeing Breen on the monitor, Alyx is surprised, questioning how it is possible, but is then relieved when she realizes that it is an old recording - apparently she believes that Breen is dead. In the same scene, an Advisor in its pod (with the serial number 314 URB-LOC 0017) is moved into a launching tube and begins a psychic attack against Gordon and Alyx while leaving the Citadel. It could be possible that this advisor is Breen, having been put in this 'host body'.

>>317933492
Haha what the fuck happened to the cameraman, looks like he freaked the fuck out.
>>317933284
Simple, They took away everything the races needed, Food, water. even the ability to reproduce.
Like on earth.
They drained the seas and lakes to almost desert-like levels. as shown on the sand dune and canal levels.
They killed most animals, so that food production is minimal
And the Suppression Field, which in turn, led to human numbers rapidly diminishing.
In the end, Earth had to surrender.
>>317933670
He was just raped, of course he freaked out.

Daily reminder that HL3 will never happen because everyone has unrealistic expectations for it.
Better to just let it remain a dream.

>>317938453

I'm sure Valve is waiting for the next generation of console so they can support HL3 revolution.
Of course, who play half-life on console, but that's where most buyers are now.
>>317938916
Because of him, despite his best efforts, ultimately leading mankind to its doom due to his passiveness.
>>317939202
Nah, they are still refining Source 2, when it is ready, they will start working on the story and everything needed for HL3 release.
>>317939451
Heard rumors of the story being done long ago.
It's up to the level designer to adapt it, because you know, half-life doesn't shove the story through extensive dialogs..
What could of been
>>317939587
Its not a rumor, and im glad its a fact
I love how they made stories back then
Now the story wont be riddled with recent fads and will stay true to what stories in games were before

Also what do you guys think is under the helmet?
I think the skull is just gone and all of the bits inside it are wired up to the helmet
>>317943153
comparing some combine heads to regular human heads, yeah the skull is most definitely gone.
Probably why they are so weak desu senpai
Combine bio engineering didn't work so well on humans, the superior race.
>>317938905
It's a counterweight, I put it together.
>>317943153
>>317944723
Nah even the stalkers still have skulls/basic skeletal structures. But really who knows.
>>317938905
>>317944891
This. It was just a bunch of random objects until you make it a counterweight.
>>317945069
Not only is that not official art, but it just looks like they've added stuff on top of the skull, which makes a whole lot more sense than completely replacing the bone with their own metal/organics.
>>317944723
Most humans in Half Life are superior in only one respectDying
>>317945247
>Not only is that not official art
I'm pretty sure you can see this in the game
>>317945247
>Not only is that not official art
It's a tag commonly found in the game.
>>317945069
You can't see the skull in those pictures because of the musculature covering it up. The white bits on the human at the top are the epicranial aponeurosis. Anything white in a musculature diagram is connective tissue.
>>317945069
>metro cops being cyborgs
Man, rebels don't know shit
>>317945405
>>317945456
Nah, it's fan art dude. I don't recall ever seeing that in game and I replay it every year. But lo and behold a quick google search reveals the deviantart page it came from. You guys really shouldn't state ass-pulled guesses as facts.
Also, you can view the combine without helmets in the Source SDK and the model has been available for use in G-Mod etc for a long time now.
>>317913101
Yeah NO FUCKING KIDDING I HATE EVERYONE WHO STILL DENIES THIS.
HOW MORE IN YOUR FACE COULD IT HAVE FUCKING BEEN?
ITS CALLED FORESHADOWING THROUGH NARRATIVE.
HL IS SUPER NARRATIVE BASED.

Nigger I played the game just like you did
>>317945776

>>317945964
Killing the Nihilanth is what let the combine invade earth.
The Nihilanth new this. He also knows of GMAN and how he is not "man"
Also Breen knows of Gordons "contract" and can be bought to the highest bidder, that being Gman.
People always miss this type of shit because they are retarded, yet its some of the most important tidbits in the series.
>>317945776
>>317945858
Okay so it's in game. Guess after 11 or so years you don't stop and take in the details as much. Doesn't change the fact that there's clearly still a human skull there, and we've seen the combine unmasked.
>>317946132
>
Dude, combine are both biological and mechanical.
All the organs in combine human troopers are a mix dumbass.
>>317944907
Makes sense since I don't think they would waste the most expensive cybernetic conversions on drones. They were given only the bare essentials they need to perform their maintenenance duties.
>>317902924
He freed an entire race of aliens
>>317904401
>he listened to an in game guard
why do you always have to remind me of how good HL2 was?
>>317946220
NO shit Sherlock, that was never the question, the question is whats under the helmet, and it's been answered. We also know that the skull is not removed and left with the brain wired directly to the inside of the helmet, which was the other question. Try to keep up. The very picture I posted shows both mechanical and organic parts, that was never the question at all.
Did half life 2 never scare anybody else?
I guess the new zombles are alarming but they don't really spook me as much as gargantuas, tentacles and ichthyosaurs
Especially gargs fuck those things scare me
>>317945691
>>317946683
Yeah but that's a regular overwatch soldier
You never see elites without armor on and the weird one eyes thing they have going would probably be hard to see out of with two eyes
>>317946781
I guess Ravenholm was a little scary. Other than that, maybe some poison headcrab jumpscares.
>>317946781
Not directly, but all the synths, metrocops, suppression fields, sea levels dropping are creepy.
I like it because it´s not as obvious. It´s not like
>eek bloody corpses and severed heads everywhere! Spoopy!
but rather little by little you start to realize how fucked up Earth has become.
>>317916640
that is a really good point. When you really look at it, you know Half Life 2 is graphically behind the games that came after, but the way HL2's characters put on facial expressions makes it seem so much more real
>>317947210
This is true. Also Stalkers are pretty disturbing when you really start thinking about them.
>>317946781the bridgewas terrifying
>>317946781
Nothing in any HL game ever really spooked me, and I never felt that they were trying to. Both games had enemies that intimidated me at first though.
>>317946989
The only given difference used when describing the elites is that they have better, thicker body armor. Given that both Stalkers and regular Overwatch both have basic human structures including a skull and torso/appendages to attach mechanics to, there's no reason to assume the Elites required further body modification to apply better armor.
The whole two eyes thing is bogus, the helmets are bigger and fitted with better gear. I sincerely doubt the normal Overwatch Soldiers are using their human eyes to see either.

I'm guessing extreme atrophy.

Jimmy Neutron pls go.
>>317952595
There's no way they could ever properly explain G-Man and not have it blow. Him being a mystery is part of the fun.
>>317952595
One day we'll know the truth behind all of this, keep faith.
>Valve just give up and release the script publicly
They don't have a script. They build the story around the gameplay, not the other way around.
>>317953228
There are many ways they could give us at least a fragment of what the fuck is going on while keeping the mystery.
>>317953378
Lost faith long ago anon, valve only cares about hat money and co-op bait nowadays
>>317953495
This still have things written down to keep a minimum of coherence.
>>317931414
But hes a worm now, so he will sound different.
>>317953495
Does that invalidate the story though? It's still annoying how their abandonment of episode 3 left a whole bunch of loose threads hanging around.
>>317953620
I doubt they have anything written in stone other than "now gordon and alyx go in pursuit of the borealis I guess".
That's likely the problem they ran into with episode 3, they couldn't think of anymore interest gameplay setpieces to carry the story forward without being repetitive.
>>317917117
Only if they get Ross Scott to voice him.
Tell me, Dr. Breen, if you can: what's it like being a one-off villian in a c-list sci-fi dystopia written by a failed author?
>>317954260
And beating the campaign unlocks a Voiced Mode, with Ross doing voice acting for the whole game.
>>317954037
They still have that helicopter part to do.
>>317953378
There is no script. Marc Laidlaw already said there is no Half-Life "canon" and they haven't written anything beyond what's already been released.
>>317955190
Well, yeah. They WERE headed there in a helicopter at the end of Ep2. There's no reason to believe that ancient concept art wasn't scrapped completely though.

AND IF YOU SEE DR. BREEN, TELL HIM I SAID, "FUCK YOU!"
>cue gordon giving a thumbs up
>>317957460
>What was the point of going to the citadel and killing Dr. Breen anyways
Free mankind from the combines.
Deactivating the suppression (nosex) field too, very important.
>>317957890
Im all for destroying the suppression field, but I mean, I feel like there were a lot more important things to do than make some babies
>>317958156
>there were a lot more important things to do than make some babies
Actually no.
Human population have been greatly reduced, if mankind wants a chance at defeating the combine, it will need some warriors to be born.
Of course freeman is here but it can't hurt to have more people.
>>317957460
Gordon went to the citadel to save alyx and eli.
>>317904105
>20 years ago
The fact that I'm the first person to point this out in this thread scares me.
>>317959215
Maybe because it was obvious and didn't need to be pointed out.
>this thread is still up
Which had the better atmosphere, HL1 or HL2?
Being stuck in an underground complex is pretty claustrophobic but the 1984 style City 17 is nice too.
>mfw seeing half life threads again after so much time and there's not even any new announcements about hl3
fuck you valve, i'll never stop waiting. people will get bored of hats eventually but the games are always going to stay GOAT
>>317959486
They're different but equally good IMO. Which one you prefer comes down to personal preference
>>317959215
Also the sky is blue. The fact that I'm the first person in this thread to be pointing this out scares the fucking shit out of me.
>tfw have a Vive but no Vive support for HL2 yet
>>317959486
I'd say HL2.
HL1 got some unique environment like Xen world.
That said Valve did some kind of magic with the source engine.
>>317960054
I thought it didn't hit the shelves until December.
>>317960269
I'm a dev
>>317902924
Hope in a better tomorrow.
>>317960180
Xen doesn't deserve the hate. I liked it more than some BM sections.
>>317960054
There's a really good Oculus mod for HL2 being worked on. It works in conjunction with a pair of motion controllers, like the Razer Hydra. You can actually peek around corners and shit and throw grenades dynamically.
>>317918346
It's a much larger game, the first is a tech demo in comparison.
Freedom.
If 3 ever happen I don't know how my body will react.
>>317906453
literally mad over nothing
>>317961482
I would assume a same joyous shitstorm as /a/ did when theygot off the boat
>>317904105
never thought of that
>>317941005
You fuckin what?
>>317962371
It's real
>>317962567
I couldn't find any images confirming it, but I found some discussion in a few places.
I'm morbidly curious to see what the model is like, and if possible why they made this.
>>317946132
Well that's a CP officer, and they aren't enhanced with cybernetics at all.
>>317962957
I couldn't find any either but I've seen it before. I think it's part of Cinematic Mod which also made baby breen.
>>317957693
the fuck is this?
>>317917793
Not a bag. His mind got transferred to a giant maggot. Why the maggot was transferred to a shed outside the city and let unguarded is however a complete unknown.
>>317902924
First time playing this I thought
>The world we live in...
I think it's time to replay HL and HL2. The last time I played them was probably in 2008 or whenever the Orange Box came out.
I remember buying the orange box in 2008 and thinking holy shit these videogames are great, surely the years to come will offer more amazing packages of high quality games at a reasonable price.
I feel sad that videogames peaked in 2008 and there have only been dark times since. My expectations are that it will only be all downhill from here. I feel like Blizzard could be releasing a 'Cold Box' or something that includes starcraft, overwatch and a hearthstone adventure or some shit. But instead they are greedy jews and videogames will never be as good as they were 8 years ago.
>>317904382
XD XD XD
>>317964147
Great games are still coming out. You just have to ignore all the bad ones. Shovel Knight and PoE are worth staying alive for.
BEST WEAPON KICKING IN,
>>317937076
I think it was after the first encounter when it eats the dude. I mean how else would they know where the resistance were unless they saw the rocket launch
Why did they bother giving you grenades? No one uses that shit
>>317966997
Every weapon except SMG and pulse rifle. The ammo for the other guns is so much more scarce than the ammo for those two you end up not using anything else that much.
>>317918346
Portal 1 kinda adds to whats going on. Iirc there was a small addon where at the end, shell runs into a combine gunship. But well never know what happens since gabe decided to go ass to walls on 2
>>317916886
Also dont forget in half life 1 when youre fighting the slave master, he says something about how youre being lied too and whatnot.
All i wanna know is what happened to shepard? Like if gordan died would he have been the back up plan?
>>317937974
K we now know you havent played the ending to 2 or episode 1
What do you guys think about the leaked map from the android devtest?
Scraped HL2 content or early HL2 ep3 level?
>>317966997
You serious? Nades were my jam. You get so many of them.
>>317967853
What are you talking about?
>>317967395
Are you serious? You get tons of shotgun shells and pistol ammo, also lots of food for you gravity gun
It was only Crossbow and Revolver ammo that was scarce
>>317917268

Fuck, I never could have guessed it was a joke.
>>317904105
But it didnt came out today, Anon, it came out 4 weeks ago.
You're so fucking dumb.

>>317968861
Just engine tests, nothing more, nothing less.
>>317918943
Went and watched majority of that video. This guy is horrible at video games. He has some interesting points, but he is just too damn dumb to notice and comment on many interesting elements in the game. I now kinda understand Valve's insistence to use brain dead game testers.
>>317959215
It was a joke suggesting using an exagerrated number to suggest that Half Life 2 came out some years ago.
Think McFly
>>317969567
>Half Life 2 came out a decade ago
>>317930312
Half my family is hispanic and I think Speedy Gonzales is hilarious.
This "SJW" thing really is just another form of white cultural imperialism. Fuck anyone who tells me I can't enjoy Speedy Gonzales and Mucha Lucha.
>>317965875
That shepard died long ago.
>>317966658
I still have no clue how this is supposed to work.
>>317967497

Hahaha.
Fortunately, the resistance has shown it is willing to accept a new leader.
And this one has proven to be a fine pawn for those who control him.
How about it, Dr. Freeman?
Did you realize your contract was open to the highest bidder?
I understand if you don't wish to discuss this in front of your friends.
>refuse G-Man's offer
>die
Is this canon?
>>317971365
I think both endings are canon.
Doesn't he imply in HL2 that you really never had a choice? The aliens were probably just a threat.
>>317970714
Me neither, but DAMN it was orgasmic to shoot it.
tfw operation black mesa will never come out.
>>317971459
Maybe? I don't remember.
Also, no way the super aliens of the Combine have their supreme leaders on a backwater planet like Earth. The Advisors are probably like ambassadors.
Which means shit could get fucked up real quick.
This map has pretty nice ambient sound. Too bad many things were cut away from HL2.
>>317971365
G-man said that he gave freeman the illusion of choice but took the liberty of choosing for him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vhfEZ2IgfQ
All the speeches
G-man sounds way creepier in my language.
>>317972000
What language?
>>317972103
French.

Has there been any community effort to restore content?
>>317972432

Jesus fuck protoss tier.
>>317958156
Thread is ded but you should have learned the importance of symbolism after nova prospekt. Imagine how incensed towards rebellion the human population was when the seat of their oppression was destroyed.
>>317970714
It was originally an incendiary rifle, and each one of the cartridges would shoot one flare.
>>317967497
I'm not even sure that the two expansions of the first game are canon at this point. Even if they decide to make another HL game they have a billion other plotlines to continue (GMan, Portal tie-in, the Combine world, rebels, etc.).
>>317972625
There's an entire mod dedicated to it

>>317972953
Nice
If valve was a cool company they'd lend out a hand, or at least provide the last version of the scrapped hl2 project
>>317973197
Germans are c.ucks to censorship in the opposite way of America. Even a teensy bit of blood is too much.
They fear it might awaken the Nazi hearts in Großdeutschland.
>I've received some interesting offers for your cervixes
What did the G-Man mean by this at the end of HL2? Only Gordon and Alyx were there, does Gordon have a cervix? Is he trans?
>>317973447
Why? The US wont let them do anything anyway
>>317973452
Only the highest bider get to have freeman on his side.
>>317972282
I'm sorry, but french is in no way a creepy language
>>317972953
>borealis screen
Are you telling me that the alpha went up to episode 3 ?
>>317916102
So Breen merely adopted it and Gordon was molded to it?

>>317973973
HL2's "beta" story was completely different from what we have now, the only similarity was a 1984ish setting
>>317973659
I was joking, but they used to be really bad with violence censorship. They still are. CSS had "lay down and surrender" animations and sparks instead of ragdolls and blood.
>>317974159

HOLY SHIT
ALL THOSE DEAD HEV SUITS ARE ACTUALLY FREEMAN IN ANOTHER TIME CONTINUUM THAT DIED.
>>317973973
There was a point in development where Valve had you start the game as Gordon within the Borealis
>>317916404
A group is already working on it.
I'm on a phone so you'll have to look it up.
I always thought the Overwatch were pretty cool.
I wonder how the uprising went in the cities besides City 17. Did an uprising even occur elsewhere?
>>317974401
I'v been keeping track of it but looks like the team takes more than it can chew.
They're doing BOTH blue shift(Guard Duty) and opposing force source(OP black mesa).
