I've foten wondered if anyone's heard of Freeman in the world of HL2? He's probably some kind of legend.
Gordon Freeman, the man who started the whole thing and plunged the world into the abyss it is now engulfed in. Some think it was an accident, and some think Freeman sabotaged it on purpose, while the conspiracy theorists believe he was manipulated by some higher power. The facts, howerver, are clear: When everything went to hell, Freeman was fingered as the prime target by the military and hunted down. But he proved quite the resourceful type, scavenging weapons and making his wya through the broken facility in the early hours of the incedent. When the military arrived he evaded them and soon after became involved in the Mesa-wide resistance of scientists and security staff who had joined forces to protect themselves. Freeman disapeared for a while, only to re-appear topside during the afternoon of the second day of the incedent (it's night-time in On A Rail) before going down to the Lambda labs. It is known that, with the help of the last remaining scientists who were holding out in Lambda, he travelled to the alien world, but it is here the facts end. All that is known is that a few hours later the Xen threat seemingly vanished, and Freeman was never seen again. Some say he defeated the aliens but died in the process, others that he got back from Xen safely and assumed a new identity in order to avoid the government. Another theory is that he simply failed and died, while the military invasion of Xen accomplished the real job. one thing is for sure: nobody has seen Freeman for many years.
Opinions? Please?
