A question to ask, is G-man a good or bad guy? That's truly a good question indeed, don't you think guys?

Well, some say he's a good guy and others say a bad guy. Well, I think he could be a good guy as you can see in Half-life, he is talking to a scientist to tell him to stop the experiment (muffled sounds, but if you listen hard enough, I think you can listen to what G-man's talking about). And also in Half-life 2, he was talking to Odessea Cubbage, I think G-man was warning him about the gunships that were coming and supply Cubbage and the other troops with RPG Launchers and rockets.

What do you think? I don't expect a satisfactory answer, but I have to ask.
 
I belive he is bad. Maybe not bad combineish but his motives are not the liberation of mankind.
 
Good, why would he use Gordon to save Earth?
 
Thanks for the answers guys. I appreciate these small attentions and in fact, great answers.

Somehow, I believe that G-man could be probably using Gordon to save the Earth, I remember he did say, "When your time comes round again".

I think he is saying that when the Earth is going to be in danger again, he will send Gordon back again, I think the story will unveil in Half life 2: Episode one I guess.

No it will not you will learn sweet **** all.
 
frankly I don't care if he is bad or good. At the end of HL1 it really pissed me off that I couldn't kill him. So Valve if you are listening make it so in one of the episodes you could plant a lump of lead right in his forehead:cheese:

I would love to do the same to the cock sucker.

I bet he sucked Gordon off when he was asleep.

He is neutral.

And speaking of being neutral, do you think he has used the gun to defend himself from enemies? There is one thread that says what is inside G-man's briefcase and there is a gun.

Do you think G-man have used a gun on his opponents? I think yes.
 
You use read bad languish Sparda. **** here and cock there.

Just becouse he is neutral doesnt mean he isnt a evil mastermind. But i seriously doubt that. Him being neutral that is, i belive he has a agenda, and his mission is not the well being of earth.

Eh? not 100% sure what you are saying.


Most of the "bad Language" that i have posted is **** or whatever
 
I'm talking about the g-man, this is a g-man thread is it not?
 
I think he's neither good or bad. Just trying to get his own selfish agenda/motives accomplished. However, one with the abilities of the G-Man could get those agendas done by himself/herself, but that's another discussion entirely.
 
The G-man is good, yet he's not without making a little profit on the side. The thing is, we don't even know what that profit is. Not something as earthly as money, and he possesses technology far greater than what any of the bidders could offer him, so what does he want? And as I keep saying, no one's even sure he accepted any bid of any kind from the resistance. He also only took certain offers from certain people, so helping the resistance fits into his ideals at least somewhat.

And for the eighteen-thousandth time, NPC_GMAN.CPP!!!
 
Well, that's for the Valve Company to know and for us to find out!

I believe Episode One will unveil the secrets, if not, then we still need to take the trouble to wait for another half-life episode to find out.
 
It is unlikely we will learn all there is to know about the G-man until the very last episode (to set the stage for the final game), or in the final Half-Life game itself.

Yep. But then again, it depends on Valve to make up the story.
 
Well its been said that aftermatch will shed some light on the hole gman thing.
 
Saying Valve will release all of the g-man's secrets is wishful thinking IMO.
 
I believe g-man's motives are not for the good of mankind. It is my belief that g-man represents an entirely different race or assimilation of races similar to the combine and just as, if not more, powerful. G-man's 'employers' and the combine are engaged in a kind of cold war-ish, stand off, slowly building up their forces by conquering uninvolved planets (earth for example), stripping these planets of their resources (the citadel digging), and assimilating the inhabitants of the planet into their Armies (the synths, the overwatch forces). G-man is engagin in espionage style tactics, infiltrating combine operations and sabotaging them but also helping pave the way for his 'employers' to invade other planets, as I believe he was doing in Half life.

He knew that if the experiment at black mesa was allowed to go foward then the resulting resonance cascade would attract the attention of the combine and jepordize g-man's employers plans to invade earth. He began preparing to subdue any outbreak that could possibly occur due to the cascade by overseeing the training of a special group of marines. However when Shepard failed to eliminate the nihilanth as I believe he was intended to do seeing as g-man directly helps him, g-man begans to persue other means. Enter Gordon Freeman. I don't think that freeman was originally intended to defeat the nihilanth, one because it's just uncanny to think that g-man could possibly for see that one scientist could navigate his way through hordes of aliens and marines to a teleporter and defeat the nihilanth, two because g-man never directly intervenes or helps freeman, he just observes.

After freeman defeats the nihilanth, g-man's employers are impressed with freeman's abilities and offer him 'employment'. However, unforseen consequences arise from the nihilanths demise and the launching of the containment satalite and the portal storms continue attracting the combines attention anyways.

G-man's employers then devise a plan to turn the intergalactic standoff they are currently engaged in with the combine into a war in which they have the upper hand. The remove Gordon from stasis and insert him in city 17 and pave the way for him to link up with the resistance. G-man's meticulous planning eventually lead gordon to the citadel, where he inflicts heavy damage and cause's it to go critical. Now g-man's plan is to far in motion to stop. With the collapse of the citadel will come a world wide uprising, weakening the combine's grip on earth ( if the destruction of nova prospect can cause i city to revolt then a citadel will spark global rebellion). The combine, frustrated with the Breen's shortcomings, will remove direct control from the human overwatch forces and take over themselves. They will send in an invasion force on par with that used in the seven hours war. However, g-man's employers will attempt to exploit this weakness in the combines line of planets by sending in a force of there own and earth will become the focal point of a massive intergalactic struggle. In other words, humanity is screwed.

In the coming episodes I believe gordon will learn of g-man's true intentions and break free. trying desperately to take the fight to both powers homeworld before earth becomes nothing more than a smoldering battle field for all manners of creatures yet to be seen by us.

G-man's bad, definately.

Yep... Me too. Valve's fans will surely be crapping on their pants to get to play the Episode One game.

THEN WHY WILL GORDON FALL FROM HIS GRASP...AHHHHH THE WORLD IS FALLING APART!:frown:
 
He's bad imho. I feel as though he is simly using Gordons as a means to get what he wants, hence why in the EP:1 Trailer he says, "We'll see about that!" in a rather angry and discouraged voice. Some believe this is because he is losing control over Gordon and doesn't like it too well.
 
Yeah, I think I agree...

Because I was playing Opposing Force, after the bomb was deactivated and it was clear, that G-man re-arms the bomb again, looks at Adrain and leaves. So this could be a sheer evidence that G-man is a bad guy.
