Politics

[stuboy]

What with the 1984 influences, the apparat-chic style, the fact that the vortigaunts turn out to be "misunderstood" and that the real threat is from a human (Breen), and the whole moral ambiguity with the g-man/breen thing, do you think Valve are trying to make any obtuse political points with hl2?

No politics or points, just inspiration. (In my opinion.)

The real threat is actually the combine leader(s), Breen is their pupet.
