OH GOD NOT SERBIANS
EDIT
:ninja:
Or at least, that’s what they want you to think. :freeman:
Whatever, he’s clearly Gary Coleman anyway. Ever since his parents stole his money he made a pact with aliens to do grunt work for some extra cash on the side. I can’t believe all of you were too stupid to see it.
This thread is just going to get more and more ridiculous, isn’t it?[/size]
I never readed your shitty thread on facepunch nor i visited facepunch website. And technically, i made this post FIRST in Black Mesa: Community Forums.
Losing Eli Vance just like losing a king in the chess, but human still got their “Freeman”, they never know “Freeman” is one, only chess of Gman.:meh 
there is still one “not canon” chess)
:retard:
Probably the best theory yet
True you did post first in the BM forums but my post was more descriptive (on Facepunch I mean…) and it wasn’t my thread and i don’t want to fight about something as stupid as this.:meh:
EDIT: BTW i found my post on FP if your interested…
That… that… XD
Little late for that, but mine sound cooler.
There’s something about G-man’s interest in Alyx that doesn’t make sense. In EP2 he said that he saved her from Black Mesa because he has foreseen some use for her in the future. But, at the end of HL2, he only saved Gordon from the citadel Explosion, and left her to die. The purple Vorts rescued her, but that was obviously not in his plans.
- Sorry for my bad english grammar.
Its possible that his foreseen use for her was fulfilled in Half Life 2. Its also possible that he can only teleport one person at a time and he would rather have saved Gordon than Alyx. Or he knew that the Vortigaunts would be there in time to save her.
valve does not have a master outline, their stories are written from game to game after a lot of customer feedback
That’s disappointing…
No, he wasn’t expecting that. When the purple vorts show up in the void Gordon were kept, G-man looked very upset.
And there is more: Why have he returned to the void right after leaving Gordon there? Ok, time was relative in that case, but… I feel like EP1 plot was so poorly planed.
It wasn’t poorly planned.
Just a few… things.
Just thought I’d share this site with you all. It has a Half-Life timeline and everything!

Until proven otherwise, I subscribe to the theory presented here.

welcome to several years ago
Hello guys.Since I saw this thread I started to wonder again and feast on my brainstorming while contemplating again who and what G-man’s purpose(s) really are.A couple of months ago I was talking to a friend,also a big Half Life fan about diverse unreal and maybe too crazy theories about G-man’s plot.And a week ago I was thinking about the Borealis itself.Well,since the entire Half Life saga revolves around Gordon and G-man I find it most natural to talk about the whole game rather than G-man himself ,because he kinda encompases the whole point,the premise,everything.
So ,what I was thinking is ,what if the Borealis would be a modern,escape route for humanity,like a Portal kind of Noah’s Ark ,which would rather save the earth from Combine’s stretches.I mean,It would be a nasty thought to just teleport Earth from it’s solar system to another ,or maybe to teleport all the important pawns to a more safe location to be used later. I’m saying ,If the G-man truly wanted to lure the Combine to Earth to devise some kind of wicked plan to destroy them ,like some kind of indirect suicide mission,he would normally think of a way of anihilating them with a single blow.
So ,the thing would be ,destroying the whole earth while the Combine Empire truly descends on it ,and saving what’s left of the remaining important pawns(If I may call it that) would be a truly despicable plan of G-man. So,I was also thinking about Adrian Shepard.He is also ominously important to the Half Life series.He is too engulfed in that mystery ,and I’m guessing he has and will play as a important pawn in the forthcoming events.It would be pure crazyness to just think about the many encounters you could have in the game and the many plots it could establish.Adrian Shepard could also have been recruited by G-man,to some bidder,to serve as a launcher for Combine’s invasion on earth.A more secretive bait as to say.So what If lots of players play in this game.It would make it an interstellar chess-game meant only for the best.
So actually ,this Rebellion that enacts against Combine’s rule over the universe.It’s hard to really call the Combine THE MOST proeminent of races just because they can subdue the very most of them.Maybe we even haven’t met the apex of evil in Half Life.Maybe it’s just an event to serve for a more grandious event.Sorry If my ideas are dilly-dally but I can’t think of a way to organise them all.I’m just too pumped up when thinking about Half Life.
It’s a neverending epic game,and I’d truly puke of dissapointment if it would end just with the annihilation of the Combine,only if that wouldn’t come to soon.So,I’m very eager to talk about theories.Maybe I’ll talk about more later.Cya guys 
There is no chance in hell that the Combine would even have a significant portion wiped out by Earth going bye bye, the super portal would have let them send in a full scale invasion fleet, sure, but how many full scale invasion fleets do you imagine they have lying around? Hell, given the state the humans are in they probably wouldn’t even send their GOOD soldiers, they’d probably send a team full of recruits and low ranking officers and say “squash them and be back in time for dinner.” And even, if by some blinding stroke of stupidity, they sent their A-team to wipe out the resistance (and remember, this is one resistance in one city in some tiny insignificant corner in Europe, not even a planet-wide threat to their regime at this point) how many other planets do you suppose they have forces lying around on?
If anything the Borealis was just another GlaDOS gone awry (or the Enrichment Center was the Borealis dry docked or something, but that’s pushing it). It probably housed portal technology, but like I mentioned either above or in another thread, even tech behind the portal gun is a huge boon for whoever gets it, and doom for the resistance if the Combine get it because of their new ability to divert forces anywhere at a whim.
Since Aperture’s portal technology seems to be the most advanced in the universe right now, G-man’s supposed interest in the ship (at least, that’s why I assume he deemed it so necessary to get Alyx to White Forest safely, so you could get to the Borealis) is either so you can secure it for the Combine if my G-man as combine theory is true, or to secure it for his employers. G-man can teleport anyway, as can Vorts, but I imagine portal tech would be a rather handy bargaining chip as it’s transferable technology and not what appears to be a personal/racial power.
With Shepard, eh, Valve wants to use him I think (an interview somewhere said that), but I don’t think he’s too overly important now.The only real way I can think of tying him in at this point is that if through the Borealis or some other means you end up in whatever void the G-man holds people in and end up setting him free somehow. Valve’s writers could probably think of better scenarios than I could, being professionals and all, but there’s only so many ways you can reintroduce Shepard without it feeling like a forced cameo for the sake of bringing him back. Not to mention Op4 has really cherry picked pieces of canon so you really need to get your story straight before you bring him back (for instance, does Race X exist now? Was it part of the Combine? Did that whole part never happen and Shepard just fought an adviser or something?) so Valve may end up losing more ground than they gain by deciding to bring him back.
I don’t really think they’d loose ground by bringing Shepard back,because ,a cliffhanger at the end of Opposing Force is not something the majority of people would really like to suffice with.Myself,when I first played I really didn’t pay attention to the details but the second time ,I had myself asking "Why would even this game bother? Ok ,seeing it from another point of view,one of a soldier first encountering the horrors that unleashed during the Resonance Cascade and maybe the potential he has against all odds " .
But ,I find it difficult to believe it’s just a leave-and-go scenario.If Shepard was intentionally meant for this kind of role,it just means everything to implement him in a future installment.Or it could be as you said,being unimportant and just there so we could really have a glimpse of what G-man intentions are and why his sudden interest for a mere soldier.
So,I hope ,that maybe not in Half Life 2 Episode 3 ,but the one after,would implement Shepard as a HALFLY important character.That sounded weird.The WEIRDEST thing revolving around bringing Shepard back is…How the hell does look like? I mean,ok,put a random face on him and expect us to go all “WOAH,is THAT CHUCK NORRIS?Oh wait ,he says he’s Shepard” .I’m not expecting something like “Hey Gordon,I’m Adrian Shepard,remember me? Oh,wait ,you we’re the badass suppah scientist who saved Black Mesa while I was away in a helicopter listening to the boring rants of a suited up old man”. No ,that’s not what I want ,so I expect Shepard to be like G-man,a mysterious character,helping from the shadows ,maybe working under a codename,never showing his appearance cause that would be too blatant.
So,I would expect G-man to have an arch-nemesis also.It’s not like Gordon’s his nemesis.We don’t even know G-man’s true intentions.He’s like on the line of true neutrality here.The words “bad” or “good” don’t quite spin around him.So,I was also thinking about the possibility of other races coming to your aid other than the Vortigaunts ,and others may be against you.There may be lots of races enslaved by the Combine and I would really love to see some unwordly combinized creatures other than well…our own species.And I also don’t see the advisors as REPRESENTING the Combine .They’re just too random.Seeing as their names are Advisors ,they must be Advising something 
) ,no? So ,a more PURE Combine should exist on the Combine Overworld.Like some kind of nobility or something.
Another thing would be ,at the end of episode 3 :I’m thinking another transition will take place,like the gap from Half Life to Half Life 2 .So ,maybe we’re bound to meet other characters or maybe we’ll get to resist the span of time with the help of the portal technology and transcend to other planets where we could gather information about the Universal Union. There’s a lot to think about.I’m not guessing Gordon will age anytime soon ,so Valve thought already about this seeing that Half Life would be a long running series,hopefully.
