they lost all your shit in a system crash and you were late for the experiment so there was no time to deal with you.

>>389625104
Respect doesn't mean he has clearance

>>389625206
And yet a rent a cop like Barney does?

>>389625202
Even at the beginning of the game before shit even goes down he needs a scientist to help him get to a place he needs to go

Compartmentalized information

Just because you have a Top Secret clearance doesn't mean you have a need to know

>>389625379
the system crash happens before gordon even gets there

>>389625439
Right after the experiment goes wrong, you need the help of a scientist to even leave, it's one thing to keep secrets even from high ranking employees, it's a whole other thing to block off employees from where they need to go

i used to play half-life too

but then i took an arrow in the knee

>>389625701
I remember now, If i recall, you try to do an eyescan and then the system crashes right? Then that begs the question, why did it just erase Gordon's data?

>>389625830
not even, you get off the tram, barney at the gate opens the fuck-huge security door, and then the barney at the desk greets you and tells you that they had a systems crash about half an hour ago and they're still trying to get all their shit fixed
>"looks like it's gonna be one of those days"

>>389625928
It's been a while since I've played it, but that still doesn't answer why out of all the the scientists and security guards involved in the Black Mesa incident, only Gordon got locked out. I would say it's because of G-Man's meddling but he wasn't even interested in Gordon until half way through the game

Get ready for a surprise.
High level clearances are nearly always restricted to the unique areas you work. It cuts down on the risk of one person getting access to everything then selling all the information.

>>389625295
thats what they rent him for dumbass

>>389625295
To the specific areas he's guarding, yes.

>>389625379
did you even play the tutorial?

>>389626124
if a man can walk in and out of reality im pretty sure he know everything that has and ever will happen
he set up the play and watched it all unfold

>>389627286
It's pretty clear from Opposing Forces that he was initially targeting Shepard and didn't care about Gordon until he killed a bunch of soldiers and aliens

Opfor starts just before Gordon reaches the lambda complex. He already killed a bunch of troops before Shepard started running about.

>>389627550
Shepard was never wanted which is why he gets stuck in limbo at the end of the game instead of getting recruited.

>>389626124
My assumption is that security has general access to all things, and played doorman to everyone else in the lab that day.

>a rent a cop like Barney

>>389627867
There are several times in which the other scientists open the door for you too

>>389625104
>Gordon Freeman is supposed to be a well respected (or at least respected enough that everyone at Black Mesa know his name) employee at Black Mesa
ok and? a janitor can be well respected and to everyone know his name but not have access to every area in the facility.

>>389625295
top security officer would have access to all the areas, while regular employes only in the areas they work in

how the fuck is this hard to understand, seems like you're roleplaying that you're smart and looking for "holes" or something

>>389625104
Wasn't he pretty new on the job?
Also, respect doesn't give clearance, money and status does

>>389628062
They used their science powers to hack the doors open.

He definitely wasn't new on the job.

>>389628730
Doesn't he have a baby? You find a picture of one in his locker.

>>389628730
>only one in the HEV suit
>gina
>all those dead scientists in xen

The answer is the G-Man. He's a great deux ex machina because you can easily blame literally every plot hole in the game on him.

>>389628947

That's John Freeman's kid, Gordon is the uncle.

>>389629080
I would hope if anyone would ever make HL3 it would have a Half Life Full-Life Consequences easter egg.

>>389628947
It's a baby of some dev, doesn't actually have any bearing on gordon.

Am I the only one who thinks that the HL1 HEV suit looks better than the HL2 ones?

>>389628947
that's alyx

how the fuck did kleiner even get the suit even though gordon was wearing it when gman put him in stasis?

>>389630082
What happened to Gordon's suit after he got taken out of stasis? The G-man let him keep it after all.

>>389630082
Gman took his suit off while Gordon was in stasis and probably had it teleported someplace where Kleiner would find it.

>>389630041
>having a photo of your colleague's toddler in your locker
That's kind of creepy.

>>389630197
I wonder how it smelled after the hours of running and sweating and maybe even pissing in

haha

I wonder if gman took a whiff just for laughs haha

Anyone here is really enjoying all these half-life threads lately?

so gman saw gordon naked?

>gordon was a full adult man when alyx was born
>eli was trying to get them to fuck in 2
what did he mean by this?

>>389628730
>has the most important job and goes in the chamber alone

his job is to push the cart

Don't talk to me or my son ever again.

>>389630747
What about your wife's son ?

>>389625104
What the fuck does being well liked or respected have to do with being qualified to go into the restricted areas? Why are you so goddamn dumb?

>>389630792
fuck him. literally. Especially if his name is Mordred.

>>389625104
He was new to the job. People only know his name in HL2 because he was one of only a few people at ground zero when the resonance cascade happened. He became a sort of folk legend over the years as nobody knew what exactly happened to him but whether or not he lived or died, he had to single handedly beat back the alien "invasion" as well as the military cover-up.
