Favorite Tag

[Tatsuto]

Looking at another post, it got me thinking: What's your favorite tag (Graffiti) in HL2 and episode 1? I have many favorites, and there are a lot of tags in the game.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

The Combine holding a baby.

 

[Tatsuto]

Not really a tag, but I always liked the poster with the arm facing upwards and the text "Born" underneath. Deep.

 

[ríomhaire]

CASTE, same as Rimmer.

 

[Rapstah]

"Surrender Freemen".

"In HL2 and episode 1"... doh!

 

[Xendance]

"Surrender Freemen".

"In HL2 and episode 1"... doh!

It was in Half Life 1 aswell:E

 

[Rapstah]

That was kind of my point.

Remember at the end of Ep.1 where you have to escort the citizens to the trains (sorry, but I can't remember seeing it any other place else to the best of my memory), you'd see this graffiti, (in order from right to left), there would be a render of a chimpanzee or some other primate, a human, and then a Combine Transhuman with the side of its brain or what's left of it exposed; machinery; gears; wires; etc. I'm assuming it's pro-Combine considering the depiction of the "evolutionary process;" first chimp, then human, and last but not least, Mr. Combine.

I'd say, at least to me, the above tag is the most interesting.

Most of those are graffiti pieces, not "tags". If you're going to leap into graf vernacular, do it right! Tags are usually just one (sometimes 2) color symbols/words, not murals.

The evolution one was my fave, as well...

Another one that I find interesting, just like some other people here do, is what appears to be a metrocop holding a baby. And also the one Tatsuto provided. And the one with the smoke coming out of the Citadel from its side with the word "DAWN" written next to it. Heck, I love them all...

At the trainstation in episode one there's a crudely drawn citadel with smoke coming from it. Clearly rebel artwork, presumuably to remind the rebels of whats happening and give them hope.

 

[kupocake]

The mysteriously suited umbrella holding man graffiti. Forget where you can see it though.

 

[Mahalis]

The evolution one and CASTE are my favorites. The evolution one seems too detailed to be plain ol' graffiti, though; looks more like some kind of stencil-poster-thing.

btw, perhaps you can enlighten me on this; what does "qft" mean? Pardon my noobishness...
