Am I the only one who feels this way? Too much is implied and stated outright for him to NOT have a helmet. Like in Ep2 where Alyx says "Phew that sure stinks, you got room for 2 in their Gordon?" Why would she say that if Gordons helmet is off, its gonna smell without a helmet and she must think your not smelling what she is. Also, what about when Gordon goes into the reactor core? How is his face not MELTED ****ING OFF when he is walsting around 3 feet to a radiational UNSTABLE energy core with more power than every nuke in the world x2? Too much evidence speaks for this.
 
DO NOT QUESTION THE LOGIC OF THE ALL POWERFUL HEV SUIT!!! and i believe she said that it was cold
 
When you briefly see Gordon jumping into the portal in Opposing Force, he is indeed be-helmeted.
 
We've had this discussion before. I think it ende out being the helmet slides on and off whenever it's needed.
 
I just assume he removes it when he's not in use of it.
 
When you get the suit in HL and HL 2 neither of the times do I see a helmet hung next to it.
 
Technically it has an helmet (The hazard suit). HL community just referred to him without the helmet on because of Gordon's Model (which did not conclude a helmet because people wouldn't understand the referents to Gordon). Opposing Force had a mistake (not the only one). It's like the wrong timing of the scene where Gordon gets ambushed and carried away by two soldiers in Half-Life Blue-shift. You also see that his heads looks down while in the original HL his head is up. They surly meant that the Hazard suit includes the helmet in the first game. I don't think Xen has Oxygen besides that. Can't prove it except for simple logic, xen is the middle of nowhere and its even the middle of nowheres. There wasn't much point for the helmet in the second game, you would scare the little children in the streets of C17, and besides no one would have recognized you if Gordon was always with the helmet on. But the helmet has a use so we can better assume that in storyline actuality he takes the helmet on and off

Neither do you see gloves. Yet when Gordon's hands wave in front of his face we see - guess what! Gloves!

Ah, the HEV helmet debate. Ancient. Old. Stop it. He has one. It may be retractrable.

It is implied the Resistance has more than one HEV suit, since rebels in the escape railroad didn't recognize you as Gordon Freeman at first. Once the word got out though, people recognized HEV suit = Gordon Freeman. That's it. No more debate. Lock the thread.
 
There were gloves in the second one, there wasn't in the first simply because the graphics couldn't do it.
 
I am Gordon Freeman and I certainly didn't smell anything in the sewers so I must be wearing some kind of radiation-proof glass helmet which comes down and up when needed (like in movie Red Planet (2000)).

Everything Half-Life related has been discussed. Why don't they just shut down the ****ing forums then until episode 3 comes out?

Hint - nobody is forcing you to participate. I, for one, appreciate the discussion. So **** off.
 
... Let me quote alyx for just a sec...

"Ugh! You're lucky you've got that hazard suit... This water's nasty. Got room for 2 in there?"

It wasn't a sewer, as you were in a parking garage. The water was nasty because of past rains, it most likely flooded this low laying area. The water being nasty refers to how there are decaying zombies in the water. Not that gordon doesn't have a helmet... I mean, after all the shit he's gone through, he's had to use it once or twice, right?

Hey, remember he also "just carries" a crowbar, G-gun, 2 pistols, smg, pulse rifle, crossbow, shotgun, few granades, rpg launcher and the pheropods. I think one helmet won't matter at all. I also think we are very petty discussing these minor details.

oh yeah, you're right :P
 
in before riomhaire.

Heheh, use the search button a little. Youll find riomhaire's posts around about this helmet matter.
 
Gordon is wearing a helmet. At the same time, he is not. It's relative to the player, just as our decisions we make in the series are all different and our responses to other characters. And either way, it doesn't make a huge difference.
 
you know what? i think you put a lot of thought into this and, you are to be commended for that. not sarcasm as my best friend mistook it as right when i typed it.*sigh* he is stupid sometimes. you gotta forgive him, he cant help it.

err...WHAT little children? you HAVE playd hl2, right???

also, as for the issue at hand - consider this: you can't zoom until you get the HEV suit. forever after you get the suit, you CAN zoom whenevr you want. this implies that the suit puts "something" over your face that allows you to zoom. that something would be a helmet. always able to zoom = helmet always on.

but in all honesty I think that valve dont give a crap if you think he has a helmet on or off - they probably havent thought about it themselves, as you never see gordon so who cares, right?
 
i think his suit has:
A-a retractable helmet
and
B-a jack to hook his suit up to his glasses
 
Invisible helmet? But seriously, he had a helmet. Somewhere, sometime, if not all the time.
 
He also has a small teleporter in the rear-side of the suit that links to an automated, remote armory rack in which he stores ammunition and weapons. When the train crashes in Episode One, he temporarily loses connection to this, thus he loses all weapons. The suit, during the reboot process, installs previously downloaded HEV V firmware that seperates the flashlight from the suit's sprint function.

There's an explanation for everything, see. It just helps being on an English Literature degree. Bullshit studies ahoy!

I don't think Gordon can hold his helmet through time stasis. (Replacing his skivvies) No helmet there. Kliener not stating a helmet (Although he was interrupted).
There is no helmet, just stubborn people who make excuses to in-justify flaws of a mere game.
 
The HEV suit tracks the usage of weapons by the player and creates the interface. Though i'm not sure, whether the helmet shows the interface, or is it a hologram or something.
 
I also figure that's where the voice comes from, for the HEV suit.
 
My theory:

The helmet of the HEV suit is semi-detached and has a attachment at the back of the helmet to the back of the suit at the neck. So Gordon just pulls it down over his head when he does into an environment such as the toxic-waster pits in "route kanal".
 
I thing the helmet is like a hood,and attached to the suit so when he takes it if it doesnt bother him,and i guess he turns it of,cause on valves pictures of him he doesnt wear it,but the HEV suit is bound th have one
 
Even if the helmet is not on the suit model, in-game we can't see it from behind. It's probably like a hood that extends from the back.

Isn't that how modern NBC suits work? The hood is a pull over.
