ok I finished hl2 and I hav questiongs

[<RJMC>]

what the hell hapened in the end?

if breen was saying some thing about humans survival that possibly can mean that are others enemys besides the combine? or the combine was not a enemy at all?

time travel or dimension travel? cuz there was the part where gordon and alyx used the teletransporter in nova prospetk and advance one week in time,also the part where gman walks trought a light ala matrix style

and btw I really enjoyded the game and was very cool but really the storyline is melting my brain cuz I WANT TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON!!!1

 

[Edcrab]

Well, ultimately we're all in the same boat- the basic premise seems to be that Breen maintains until his (possible) demise that he was acting in humanity's best interests.

The "time travel" is, according to Dr Kleiner, merely down to a slow teleportation system that takes ages to get an individual from point A to B. There's speculation that the Gman may have delayed you for some reason, but that does seem more direct then his usual manipulation.

There's definitely other planets and dimensions out there, but its not quite clear whether or not the Combine are the sole or biggest threat.

Oh, and Gman is some reality-warping super entity- we're just not sure of the who, what, why or where of it either

 

[<RJMC>]

one thing that I heard is that g-man stands for goverment man

do it is some true or is just a name?

also I heard the whole storyline is not complete

Yes, G-man stands for Government Man. It's not his actual name, just a nickname that was given to the model in Half-Life by Valve.

[pacerzfan763]

o shit it stand for govermant man??? i never new that. thanks for tellin me

 

[Zion]

I didn't know that either. But it fits perfectly in this insane story. The ending was very strange (even though not as strange as the ending of HL1 :E ). I guess now Freeman will be kicking the butt of a very mysterious enemy.

 

[Asknoone]

Yeah, his nickname is Gman. It doesn't mean he works for the government though. At all.

 

[Puzzlemaker]

He might work for the goverment. Just not the human goverment.

 

[<RJMC>]

my crazy theory is there are some "superiors" beings including gman,that maybe are like the most powerfull things in the universe and gman is like the representers of the humans,but maybe I am all wrong cuz we know that there is something more that the gman cuz at the end of hl2 he says something about contracts and stuff so maybe there is more that one thing apart from the gman

dam I want to know the truth *xfiles songs begins*

 

[Fonaki]

My G-man theory is that he is watching you, and he stops the time, to make you confused. So when you finaly meet him, you think he is a importent goverment-guy so you don't wanna kill him, but actually he is only a normal person. And then he kills you.:bounce:

 

[eber]

he cannot stop the time -_- thats ridiculous . if he could he would just do it and go around with a large trout and pop it at breens head.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Stopping time and carrying around a large trout? -_- That's ridiculous. The Gman clearly has the ability to cause anything to happen at any time if it were his choosing. But perhaps there are rules as to who can carry out the superiors' master plan.

 

[MTG_Maro]

OK i have to say somthing here: I think that the Gman is just some person that is working for some beings more powerful than Nihilanth and he knows more than one language due to his "theorized" interdimensional activity, or, he just works for a rouge government which has friends in high places and can do stuff like dimensional travel. Oh and ive noticed how much Gman looks like an older Gordon except the nose and him having ear lobes.

How....generic.

You need to be slapped. Hard.

 

[Eejit]

Generic is ok sometimes, you don't want to overtheorise on too little information.


The gman and nihilanth were childhood friends, discovering the ways of teleportation and dimensional physics. They gradually grew apart however, the idealistic nihilistic nihilanth and his thirst for personal power (eventually forcred to flee from the Combine to Xen) and the gman with his mercenary attitudes and annoying voice.
Things came to a head one night when they both got drunk and had a row. Nihilanth fell unconcious part way through the argument and the gman had him surgically altered to the form of a giant bloated floating baby! (They used to look quite similar). When Nihilanth woke up he was so angry that he welded a briefcase to the gman's hand.
And so they parted, each brooding over a wonderful relationship gone sour, until finally the gman got the contract he'd always longed for... and so Gordon enters the scene...

Your probably right; otherwise the G-man would do the entire job himself.

There could be limitations to the G-man's abilities, that prevent him from doing it without Freeman's help. Maybe such as his energy draining or physical posibilties and the amount of energy required. It could even be technolgy limitations. I really don't know.

 

[MTG_Maro]

I wonder who his superior's are?

 

[sinkoman]

I wonder who his superior's are?

If only you were around in 2004

 

[Zaffino]

maybe the g-man is an agent of god! and maybe valve will make an atheist version of the game where hes an agent for some uber-human race ! - zaffino

I have always believed Gman and Gordon will end up in a fight...but that's
just my thought.

He sounded pretty pissed off in the Aftermath trailer.
