Serious question.

[LUSITANO]

Will Gordon have a model? If we look in to the water will we see his reflection, or into a mirror? And one more thing, why cant we see Gordon's hands when hes driving?

One of the guys from valve said no in an interview

You can't see Gordon ingame.

[edit]Or so I'm told. ¬¬

That's silly. I know about the immersion factor...but cmon.

If there is HL2 Classic Deathmatch, there should be a model of Gordon like there was in HL

Not sure why we don't see his hands while driving if we see them holding guns and throwing nades, but It would take up plenty of viewing space in the relatively open Kart, which you'll be looking all around in to fire the gun. putting model arms and shoulders would probably lead to legs etc etc.
so it saves space, provides more sight, and less system use.

Reported that you won't ever see your reflection, so I'm guessing that there won't be overt mirrors like in max payne2 or doom3, and you won't see reflections of yourself in water, just light is reflected (or simulated) on glimmering surfaces I believe

Point of not seeing yourself is to keep you Gordan Freeman, not a person playing as Gordan freeman, as in max payne or doom3 where you have a sense of playing someone else's role, rather than your own.

Hope this helps, If I'm wrong on anything, feel free to correct me (anyone).

If your curious about this subject there are probably atleast several hundred pages of posts on it that you can search for.

I'm pretty sure you didn't see any hands on the guns in the game...?


Anyway, to the original question. There will not be any SP Gordon models shown in ANY of the HL games. -- Reserved for expansions obviously.
