After a bit of discussion, they decide to send Gordon over to Kleiner’s Lab. Isaac Kleiner, Gordon’s mentor from his MIT days and former Black Mesa employee.

One of them separates him from the rest of the arriving citizens and directs him into a small interrogation room before revealing himself to be former Black Mesa security guard Barney Calhoun, who is operating undercover for the Resistance.īarney contacts Dr. Continuing on his way, Gordon meets armed Civil Protection officers policing the train station and its surroundings. Wallace Breen, former administrator of Black Mesa, and now the administrator of Earth. That's just cool.Nearly twenty years after the Black Mesa Incident, the G-Man wakes Gordon Freeman from stasis and inserts him (seemingly without any goals) into a train arriving in City 17, a city located somewhere in Eastern Europe under the control of the Combine Empire.Īfter leaving the train, Gordon and the other passengers are welcomed by a broadcast by Dr. The first time one came tumbling down the road at us, we'd already been trained to handle them without even realizing it. We learned how to pick up, throw, and catch, we increased our bond with the eager robotic companion, and we discovered how to defeat rollermines, an enemy we wouldn't encounter until much later in the game. When it first fell into our hands we played catch with Dog, which wasn't just a cool sequence but functioned as a sneaky tutorial. What made the gravity gun so cool in Half-Life 2 wasn't just that it could lift stuff-it was all the different things that could be accomplished by lifting stuff. It's the gravity gun's final form and it made the perfect tool, surprisingly, even better. In a corridor packed with Combine you can rip a soldier from his spot and send him pinwheeling back through the rest. And then you can blast those Combine ragdolls around the room, send them spinning and slamming into each other. Instead of just picking up objects you can pick up people, and it's a blast, yanking surprised soldiers off the ground, pulling them wriggling through the air, their limbs violently jerking and flopping in a way that makes Darth Vader's Force Choke look like a gentle embrace. The tool that could do everything except that one thing now does that one thing, too.

But when it passes through the confiscation field in the Citadel, it isn't destroyed like the rest of your weapons. The gravity gun, for all its usefulness in Half-Life 2, can only pick up non-organic objects.
