"Questionable Ethics"

[Hellrider]

So was Black Mesa researching Xen life forms before the resonance cascade , as seen in the HL1 chapter ?

Also what sector of the Black Mesa facility is it ?

 

[morgs]

I'm pretty sure they were, in opposing force they have barnacle samples, although that's not 100% canon.

As for where it is, I've forgotten which sector I was in when I played OP4

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Aye, the scientists knew about Xen for an unknown amount of time before HL1.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Black Mesa was definately studying Xen before the Resonance cascade.

 

[Narvi]

They've got a module designed specifically for navigating Xen, after all.

And they've got that satellite thing set up in Blue Shift, although once again it's questionable if it can be considered canon.

 

[Destron]

Don't forget all the Headcrabs and HoundEyes and such in the cages. And also the Alien Grunts in the lab specimen chambers.

 

[Planetary]

And the dead HEV-suit scientists you see when you venture there. not to mention that "Base Camp" in Blue Shift, after travelling through Xenien wilderness.

Blue Shift = Canon

what was that base thing in blue shift anyway? i mean like what were they doing there? anywhere mentioned?

 

[ríomhaire]

Blue Shift isn't the canon-minefield that OP4 is. Most of the stuff in it actually supports HL1 and HL2 (Except maybe Calhoun being "Out of range" of the g-man, even though nothing really seems to be out of his range in HL2).

Listen to what Rosenberg says. It's a sort of relay station.

 

[ríomhaire]

Which is entirly consistent with the Xen relay Mossman talks about in HL2

Really? Or is it just Gordon can't see? The primary control target of G-man is Gordon as far as I know.
