it was a cool weapon but i just typed impulse 101 i need my shotgun :p

[x-byte]

And where does all this information comes from?? From the game itself?? Where was this story when I was rinding around in that buggy?

I'm sorry, I played the game, and payed attention all the way through ... This information is nowhere to be found in the game!

There're bits of pieces of information hidden in the game. It's up to you to find it... Also many things are put together from the HL story.

G-Man is the guy in the Blue business suit. That's just it, we DON'T know who he is! He talks to you in the opening of the game.

Yup that's true. Hopefully there will be some expansions in the near future that fill in even more of the blank pages of this story, though. :p

[spiffy0517]

he was pretty mysterious in half-life, he would appear in places that you could reach only after a bit of work and he would always be gone when you got there. at the end of the game you learn that he has been "watching" you and then recruits you for his employers. the game ends with it saying that your status is hired and you await for assignment. thus ending half-life. until half-life 2 :). my best guess is that he is quality assurance for some alien force. making sure that Freeman is doing his job. :D

How do you know its him though?

Some people are suspecting that HL2's story is just a simulation and that Gman is putting him through this to hire him for a job. they back up there theory with the fact Gman is always about and at the end says his been watching him. and at the start the guy on the train says "i didn't see you get on this train".. the clues are there.

Other people (rivals to this theory) say its always teleporters.. freeman he teleported to the train Gman teleports around the place watching freeman etc...

I believe its all a simulation myself though..

I know it is id him because I looked through the Zoom Lens

Cool Theory I beleive the second one myself.

And Oh There should be a spoiler tag on this Topic right

[kalizar]

simulation? eh? why does someone saying "i never saw you get on" proof that it is a simulation? that theory could possibly make sense if there was any sort of evidence to back it up, but since i have not found any i doubt very seriously that it is something like that.

[Mambo Boy]

Just a random screenshot i think looked sweet...

[kalizar]

Probably me being a b00b but...

On the bridge after u take out the gun ship u have to plug a plug back in to enable bridge access... ive played with this bloody plug for 10 mins now and it wont go in? am i doing something wrong? tried it manually and with gravity gun but it either pops down or up really annoyingly  :blush:

thanks for your time

you dont plug the plug back in. you go hit the switch in the corner of the room.

[l77Il7H]

lol, i never knew gman made small appearances through out the game. i never spotted him.

I spotted him once, although I can't remember where :unsure:

[Djmutik1013]

Everyone should go look at the guide at the store they have like 2 or 3 pages of just gman appearences.

[Razorwing]

He's my father :ninja:

"FAJA" :laugh:

[remix17]

Another clue is that you will never need to use something that can be thrown away.  For example if there is a cliff nearby you will never have to use anything movable by the gravity gun.

584957470[/snapback]

That's not completely true.

(possible spoiler)

If you remember in Highway 17, when you insert those 3 batteries to open the gate, you can easility throw one of them over the cliff or in the water. I didn't try it, so I don't what would happen exactly. It would probably restart it saying that I lost objects that are necessary to complete the mission. (This what happens when you car is destroyed by the train. lol)

[Rob2687]

I came accross a bug, at that part.... My car was smushed once by the train, then when it loaded the save game, it kept thinking my was destroyed. :s

[ForeverUnknown]

[Rogue`]

Apparently there is a patch coming soon that will fix this issue (hope its true!)

Very true, all the other levels from here on are a little more intense - more thinking on your feet (especially the Strider Battles later on) :)
