There was this one part at Follow Freeman in the Nexus. Barney tells you to take out those floor turrets by saying "You go take 'em out! You're the one in the HEV suit!" LOL
Other scientists had HEV suits too. Remember the corpses in the Xen dimension? Besides, Gordon seemed pretty well-known even before he got his suit back.
It's the same suit Gordon used to wear. how would kleiner be able to make improvements to the internals of the suit without taking off the...
He didn't set himself on fire. He set the whole area including the zombies on fire and retreated into the crypt, still blasting away. Psychotic priest... pretty darn cool.

the SMG/grenade launcher combo used to rock back in HL, where everyone had to be proficient in that to stand a chance, but the HL2 SMG/GL combo is considerably weaker now... saddening....
As a replacement, I'd have to say the grav gun. versatile.
