Gordan Has a "PonyTail"?

[thethingexe]

I was just looking at random pictures and I found this...

PonyTail

Is it just a Model Problem... Or is that His HairStyle?

 

[Feath]

In Opposing Force, the Gordon model had a ponytail. But in the Half-Life 2 artwork, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't have one.

 

[Harryz]

What Feath said. It seems to be removed in Half-Life 2.

 

[thethingexe]

Why did they eva give him a pony tail?
Is this another reason to hate GearBox?

 

[Harryz]

Erm, didn't you know? Gordon is homosexual.

 

[B-MAn]

Why would this be a reason to hate gearbox.....seriously any excuse eh?

ahh, gearbox, that word is hardly used anymore

Does it matter that much? Its just a ponytail on one model.....

 

[Ennui]

eww. removing the ponytail and deciding NOT to give alyx braces are two of Valve's best decisions.

 

[BlackDahlia]

Get a haircut, hippy!

I actually kinda like the ponytail, but he does look better with the short hair.

 

[Insano]

Why is the old Gordon model in a HL2 invironment with Eli? I mean: wtf?

 

[Asknoone]

ahh, gearbox, that word is hardly used anymore

And with good reason. They did this to the Gordon model in Decay as well. Why I have a good mind to take a Shepard picture to photoshop!

 

[KagePrototype]

Heh...the model had it in the original HL as well, so Gearbox aren't exactly to blame.

 

[Asknoone]

Aha! That means....ummm....what? That can't be true...no, I won't believe it.

(Oh crap it is)

**** **** *****

Ahem.

 

[Feath]

Heh...the model had it in the original HL as well, so Gearbox aren't exactly to blame.

You know, I don't think it did.

 

[Asknoone]

You know, I don't think it did.

I'm inclined to agree. I didn't think Kage could be wrong...but haha

 

[Shippi]

I think they should have kept the ponytail in HL2, but oh well

 

[Hondo]

When I went into third person with some cheat in HL1, I remember a pony-tail.

 

[Feath]

Why am I the first person to think of this?

 

[Kitfox]

quite an easy explanation. You see the soldiers that captured freeman were gay so they tried to pretty him up. Luckly during the rough jump from earth to xen freeman lost the pony tail he never knwe he had... all the scientists laughed behind his back.

 

[Thadius Dean]

I believe that Gordon has a ponytail in the original Half-Life also. use third person mode.

 

[Lahire149]

Man I feel like Valve saying this...
you're Gordon Freeman...so if you have a ponytail he's got one; if you don't then he doesn't.

 

[Feath]

The higher detailed model of the DM Gordon has a ponytail, but the low detailed one doesn't.

Where did these higher def ones come from? I only remember there was a button for "High detailed models" when you were setting up Deathmatch. Did Gearbox make them or did they come with the first game?

 

[DevgruSeal]

Didn't Gabe have a Pony Tail before the release of HL2?

 

[Lahire149]

Didn't Gabe have a Pony Tail before the release of HL2?

let's hope not...

 

[Asknoone]

let's hope not...

No, I don't think he did.

Well, I know that Gearbox made the High-Definition models to go with Blueshift.
