Freeman's Mind?Internet Kraken said:
--------------------
Well, whenever I don't know the reasoning behind something, wizards did it. Or, in this case, G-Man.
But I agree that it would have been weird for Gordon to appear in City 17 wearing an HEV suit. It would have tipped Breen off pretty swiftly that the One Free Man (as he would later be known as) had returned. And he was kickin' names and takin' ass!
It is my thought that the "G-man" works for some sort of inter-dimensional, and/or inter planetary level of bureaucracy, or governance so to speak. Though I should point out that a lot of the weapons in the first half life far outstripped the power of many of the weapons in HL2, I suspect this is because the combine has a monopoly on most technological advances of humanity, but anyone else have any ideas?solidstatemind said:
Its a different Suit. For the people saying that Gman gave the suit to Kleiner, Gman didn't create the HEV suit, it was created by the Scientist of Black Mesa... which there happens to be alot of.
As for the people asking why Gordon Freeman is fighting the fight, its in the game, G-man says that he is in-valuable because Gordon has the ability of "free choice", for the sequel he takes that choice away from him.
His choice is to fight back.

With the Crowbar I thought he must have gotten the one the HECU marines took away from Gordon before throwing him into the trash compactor. As to the HEV suit, I'm going with the theory that GMan placed it somewhere for Kleiner, Eli or Barney to find.r0botosaurus said:
Holy Crap.
The G-Man and Kliener are SECRET LOVERS!!!111!!!!
No, but seriously, that's pretty neat that you noticed that.
But on a more related note, my theory is that the G-Man is actually the leader of the combine, or he's been the real enemy all along. I think this because of the fact that Xen seems to have no real significance in Half life 2 and the episodes. It's all this "combine overworld" talk. My theory is that the G-Man wanted Xen so he could get the crystals, which he could then use to open a dimensional rift for the combine to get to Earth. I don't believe that the G-Man particularly cares about the vortigaunts, because the Vortigaunts did half the job of rescuing Alyx, and they seem to help you do whatever you need to do, which you are doing for the G-Man.
Spoilers follow! I warned you.
Also an interesting reoccuring theme is that after a character reveals they know about the G-Man to Gordon, they die. Seriously, Doctor Breen gets killed only after he tells you that line that says "Your services were open to the highest bidder", which is clearly referencing he knew of the whole bit with the G-Man, and Eli Vance dies after he tells you he knows about the G-Man as well. I don't think these are coincidences either. The G-Man clearly doesn't want anyone to know he's there, instigating the situation. Maybe it's because both Doctor Breen and Eli have already fulfilled their purpose for the G-Man, and will be of no more use to him. Doctor Breen Gave the Combine control of earth, and Eli Vance started the resistance while Gordon was in stasis. And it seems clear to me that Alyx will die to, or maybe she will get put into stasis as well. I don't know. But regardless, it seems clear to me that the G-Man doesn't want anyone to know about him.
However, G-Man cannot be the leader of the Combine because he is obviously satisfied that Gordon is blowing them up. I still do think that it will turn out that the G-Man will be the real enemy though. Maybe G-Man just wanted them to establish a stable connection to the Combine overworld or something, so that he could go there and capture it. I don't know about that though, because he hasn't done anything about you going and shutting down the super portal at the end of Ep 2.
Well, I'm out of ideas now.

Bigger plot hole. How and why is a scientist taking down army guys and saving the world? Surely therese someone more qualified for this job.

*gets shovel*
I thought Kleiner himself just updated the suit, so technically it could be the old one?Ashbax said:
I'm not sure, Half-Life's story is getting waaay to convoluted.
