Lots of speculation
Moderate force? I see what could be a space rip above the citadel in episode one, maybe the explosion was not as moderate as you think, but a dimensional-ripping explosion.
I think you are wrong here... remember they have entanglement devices\portals in citadels, and...
Of course they do. Hence the need for "motivational speeches" by Breen (nova prospekt chapter)
But I think they got most of their memory erased, and I bet they don't even know how life was before the combine takeover.
I'd really consider buying the xbox 360. But it really bugs me not being able to play first person shooters the way they are meant to be played - with a mouse and a keyboard.
I played hl1 decay (coop) for the ps2 with the joypad and it wasn't too bad, but I really hate not being able to...
Super mega ultra uber CORRECT. If they will ever remake hl1 the should really only change the graphics. Maybe they could add some extra non-canon bonus level, but please don't touch the plot or the original levels.

Oh my god, that's uber awesome.
Does anybody know it that image is somewhere on the net? High-resolution if possible.
yeah, also the government sure as hell couldn't foresee the extent of the portal storms, so it makes sense to nuke the site.
But, after hl2, I think the gman knew about the combine prior to the events of hl1. Maybe he didn't know they were after earth, but if he did he could have nuked the...
Technically, he delivered himself.
Yeah, could be. But I still think Breen had a measure of greed and hunger for power, of course combined with his thirst for scientific knowledge.
That's for sure, I think he was blinded with greed at the idea of trading eli (for his knowledge of teleport technology) and freeman (for his talents and skills) to gain more power. Maybe another combine world to administer?
There are two possible reasons for the nuking of black mesa.
Number one= Government clean-up. Pretty self-explanatory.
Number two= the gman knew of the combine. So he helped the government in nuking the base to prevent the combine from acquiring the lambda teleport technology.
But...
Him... or his employers :O to me are just one of the many players in the game.
Between the combine, Breen (that I suppose has an agenda of his own, "having both of you in my keeping ensure that I can make any bargain I care to make with the combine" or something like that. Please note that he...
I was playing "follow freeman" chapter yesterday and I noticed that the combine soldiers ai is actually very good when you fight them at long range, but when you got close they just stand there shooting you with three rounds smg bursts (which equals something like 0 hp damage). I imagine they...

Freeman can be sexy, look at that picture.
And even if he is not, he possesses genius level intelligence and god-like combat abilities, why on earth a woman shouldn't be interested in him? Being a woman and not being...
I completely agree with you, except for the part about the lenght of the game. I finished the game in under three hours, without using cheats, and replayed it reloading everytime I got hit (at hard difficulty level) and I was still able to beat it under three hours.
But anyway, I don't have...
