Hello fellow half-life fans...
I know this have been already argueed in this forum and many are tired of discussing the story or the theories behind the story. But i must say there's a lot of questions that need answer and many of this questions can be answered without waiting for HL3 explanations (perharps it even bring MORE questions...).
What I want to say is that there are so many HL2 players, forums and sites that it's not acceptable that nobody has done a "Full Story"/"Full Facts" text on hl2. I've been looking for this for a long time with no success, except one that needs registration + original cd + burocracy.
So... here's the deal:
Why don't everyone post some of the facts or hints they have picked up in the game?
For example:
I've played HL1 many times, but it has been a long time ago.... can someone make a review of the story and connect the first game with the second?
Can someone show some of the phrases and lines showed in the game that really proove some of the theories behind the story?
Can someone tell me a FULL STORY site, post or article on Half-life? PLEASSSSEE???
Now, let me be the first:
First off there's something on the reviews that really bothered me. HL1 ends with G-Man proposing Freeman to work for him or engage into a battle that would certainly lead to his death. HL2 starts many years after hl1 ending. Now everyone just says that Freeman has accepted to work for G-man. But why? Who can proove this? In my oppinion, freeman's personality would most likely be against such a charactor as the misteryous G-man. Wouldn't it be great if our hero just tried to match this G-man or whatever battle he meant and showed him what he's all about? Wasn't in this very challenge that Freeman really became powerfull, even if it was impossible to win? (In HL1 he's a scientis that fights pretty well. In HL2 he's a savior. Why? How?).
Now, a few questions:
- What do we know about the Combine? What is their relation with Breener? Have they already conquered the world or just that area we see in the game?
- What's Breen trying to do in the end of the game? I was so alert to enemies that I confess I didn't pay much attention to what he was saying. But what is his plan? What is that portal for? What happened when Freeman destroyed it?
Now, some theory of mine:
It has already been discussed, but few tried to understand the idea behind it. What if G-man is Gordo FreeMan? Is it really that impossible? Why are we so certain it stands for governmant man?
And now some facts for no theory can be understood without facts (not saying it's true, just trying to make it plausible):
- If you imagine Freeman without glasses and beard he is not very different from G-man at ALL! I'm the only one with this picture in mind? They actually look similar! Haven't anyone noticed their eyes have the same collor? Try to imagine a Freeman with 50 years. How close to G-man would he look like?
- Time. It's the keyword on Half-life 2. The first game barely mentioned it. But in HL2, it's everywhere! Like they're hints in a puzzle! First off, a lot of time have passed since hl1. Secondly, we now know it exists in the game and it has been discovered! Freeman is actually a time traveler. The portals used in the game not only travel between space dimensions... they travel between time dimension as well. When Freeman use the portal with alyx they travel for a short time, but still travel. And we can see G-man mentioning time for many times. Actually, it's even right to say that G-man was not worried at all about time... it's as though this task was hard and crucial... but G-man still left Freeman with no weapons and very few information. Would you do that to an worker of yours? Only if it didn't matter the time you had to accomplish the task.. perharps it didn't even matter if you accomplished it THIS TIME. Now we're getting somewhere...
Theory: When Freeman used the portal for the first time he not only oppened this dimension to others... and not only he travelled to other dimensions and back to ours. He actually traveled through time. And that leads to a whole deal about Parallel universes, paradoxes, and other stuff that would make this story VERY HARD to understand. Anyway, it must have something to do with it. Time must be a keyword, a hint. Peharps Freeman travelled through time and learned a lot of things that we're not expected. Perharps he became powerfull for this and started changing the future. Peharps he designed a plan and made sure this plan would work. And then.. just peharps... he came back in time to make sure his other Life, in our dimension, succeded. So he is G-man, Gordon Freeman, that man that frees. And he's helping his "other he"... without trying to convince him that time travelling is real.. without trying to explain to him what is going on. Isn't it a great plan? And now this government we heard off, the employees... Peharps they believed in Freeman.. peharps they helped him travel back in time and become G-man.
And now something a few haven't noticed. In the end G-man says: "You have made it. You have impressed... And just to think everything could have been lost if not for...".
If anyone remembers any other phares, especially from G-man or Dr. Breener (explaining/convincing Freeman), please post it!
