What's about Gordon in a Coma?

[Sparta]

I read it on another thread and also in this sites Game FAQ section it sez that Half-Life 2 is set 15 years after original?? Are you serious?

 

[rec]

No, we just put that in the FAQ to f*ck with you guys. ;P

 

[Homer]

is he kidding or not? the new topic of this post.

 

[Brian Damage]

Yeah, personally, I've been wondering, where does that figure (15) come from? I think I heard 9 years, somewhere else. Did Gabe say it? Marc Laidlaw?:dork:

Seeya.

 

[Gordon'sFreeman]

10 years.

If its 10 years old, and gordan was kinda old in hl, wont he be all =\ in hl2?

 

[mchammer75040]

Ahh i heard it was only 2 or 3 years in many previews....

I've heard it was from 10-15 years but Gordon wasn't in a coma he was like frozen or something because he didn't age at all. Pretty much, its 10-15 years after all the stuff happened at Black Mesa and Gordon doesn't know what is going on.

Edit- Hey, I'm a Zombie now.

 

[dawdler]

And I heard 5 years

 

[Homer]

its been 2 weeks, and there was no coma.

would explain why the other survivors havn't aged much.

Plus remember Barney's statement:

"Remember when we thought Black Mesa was as bad as it could get."

I'm still not sure who confirmed that guy as being Barney, he seems too.... cool to be Barney... but whatever. He sounds to me like he spent a nice vacation after Black Mesa happened so it's gotta be a couple years in the future.
Edit: Yay Zombie

I always thought barney was kind of heroic, he would only use his pistol agents even the biggest monsters, and even then he would be brave… so how could you not adore barney. That makes him cool in my book :bounce:

Maby the portal in the end of HL1 was also a time portal.....

Or a normal portal with some "purest sample yet" added to it.

There has to have been enough time between HL1 and HL2 for the entire planet to get whomped on. So anything over a couple of years is likely, but not too long so that everyone involved is old/dead. And I'm willing to bet some money that Gordon hasn't been aging in that time, and he was more likely sent forward.
