the G-man question

[shithead]

Who is G-man ?


i believe he is as the name might suggest the "Government man", working for the US.human government, behind the scenes to save humanity from major trouble , as all the science that was from black mesa was unleashed on the earth in the hands of the madman administrator Dr Breem . g-man is saving humans from untimely extinction and from the aliens who perverted the earth. as he does appear to be, using the services of Gordon Freeman along the way.
travelling through time and space, through dimensions and warps to xen and maybe even other places. he certainly has a lot of capabilies but who does he really work for ?

any ideas out there?
:upstare:

that's part of the suspense/story that we don't know.

 

[TheCorps]

Nobody really knows but if you check this forum(i.e. search button) their is a lot of speculation about who he is.

 

[Ennui]

ah, good old newbies make me feel so smart

thecorps said it, really, there's not a whole lot you can do to find out other than read the infinitely long speculation threads. We don't actually know anything other than that he controls what you do by putting you in various situations.

 

[Kouler]

He is part of a section of the government that is working on ridding the Earth of aliens.

I'd say that anyone who actually claims they've come to any certain conclusion is an idiot.

So if anyone tries to tell you anything, you can pretty much immediately guarantee it's wrong.

Until Half Life 3 or beyond...

the G-man is David Copperfield. He might look like he's always ahead of you or that he "stops" time but it's all just smoke and mirrors.

This does mean that he can fly in HL3, correct?

and he does this thing where a big saw blade goes right through him

I'd have to say G-man works for the government, since he kinda tells you in HL1.

of course

and he does this thing where a big saw blade goes right through him
