uh thanks. All the while I thought they were labcoats. Im so dumb

This has been pointed out alot, but there is still no clear explaination development-wise as to why the Zombies in HL2 wear Lab coats when there were not many scientists around at all. Certainly the Halflife2 beta (if any of you seen it or played it) had Zombie models with citizen uniforms...

I think Breen is not truly evil, he has good intentions. But he is somewhat in a delusion that the combine can "help" humanity overcome its primitive instincts.

xen is like a borderworld. so everything from various dimensions end up there. Nihilanth was like the de-facto leader of xen and he enslaved the vorts The portal storms were caused by Dr Freeman by pushing the test crystal, and launching that ICBM satellite in HL1. (Well he was told to...

I dont think you can ever be healed by antlion extract with half of your brain already gone

as far as we know: Crows, Seagulls, Pigeons, Cats, Rats (removed from the game), Most insects are still around Id guess there are still alot of animals around that werent shown in the game that still exist

the vehicle stages are probably just 25% of the game. I loved the vehicle bits as a whole, it added variety I have to agree, I found the HL2 wasteland parts to be more atmospheric than the later ones. I loved going though the unoccupied houses and looking for supplies.

i always liked AMD because they were more affordable. i still havent upgraded from my athlon 2600+ which i got in 2003. Its a good thing most games i like are for older PC's. Definately would go with intel, if they didnt cost as much You can buy the same priced athlon for the price of a...

That would probably wreak havoc on slower computers since theres alot of physics involved. it would be nice to use a tau cannon or gluon gun again tho

Personally, I dislike the concept of time travel being overused in genres. It would be too messy, sortof like the terminator franchise. I would be content that no one has still mastered time travel in the HL universe. Although Gordon traveled in time in HL2. It was merely a fluke.

I always thought the poison headcrabs always existed on xen, but werent shown in the first games. (Similar to the antlions, they werent shown). I think thats a better explanation for them, rather than "they ate something poisonous and become poisonous themselves". But cant argue with canon, I...

I didnt get scared of Ravenholm at all, although it is a nice level. I Must have been immunized from all those times playing Silent Hill.

I think the zombies wearing only white was just a minor oversight by the developers. At least they added Zombines in later games. Laser guns while fine, they may spoil the games' balance, by being too powerful. Thats why in the first game, you only got the TAU cannon and Gluon Gun very late in...

in the game commentary, she used to be more pushy and demanding, but the playtesters didnt like it so they made her more 'pleasant' As for me, I think Alix is cool. I also think shes too nice, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Id like to see a game that has nothing to do with Gordon or his friends. Sortof like an offshoot game, similar to HL Opposing force. Basically the earth is still infested and alot of land remains a wasteland teeming with aliens. The new earth government decides to 'liberate' the remaining...
