Who is your favourite character in the entire HL series so far? I mean allys, enemies, anyone.
I would say the grunts from HL1 are the coolest. They were in it for the best cause and Freeman misguidedly killed them and sent that bloody rocket into space! At least the marines knew what they were doing.
Freeman is a pawn. He does as he's told by anyone.
Your overall favourite Half-Lifer

Gordon has a false sense of free will, just like the player in the game. The single player level is really designed so that there is an anticipated route of progress, but the large space with 3D skybox gives us the sense that anything is possible.
Perhaps this reflects some truth in real life. We're given the sense that in a free country (Europe, Australia, and the U.S.), we can do whatever we feel like doing. But most of us fall into the predictable track to go to school, get a diploma, get a job, get married, buy a house, have kids, get old, and die.
Not much variations there, unless we're willing to live in a commune and committ mass suicide at the end.

headcrabs and g-man 
I don't know why headcrabs.. emm.. maybe because they're cute, and g-man because of the mistery behind him.

I always was able to indentify myself with the G-man, its fun locking people up in odd useless facility's and then cause total destruction!

the scientist that look just like einstein,
i loved shooting them in the foot with a glock,
and the time where you are in the lift and it crashes,
and when one is hanging from that other broken lift and falls to his death......eee nostalgia

Umm... Highlander... that had nothing to do with the topic...
I guess Im sort of being very generic here, but my favorite character is by far the Gman. He is the most interesting person in the game. Mysterious, in charge of strage power, and without him Gorden would be nothing. He's like a hero builder, he takes people with a glint of potential and turns them into powerful weapons. Gordon and Shepard are perfect examples of pawns that being controlled by the Gman. Like a handgun we lock in the a until dire need, he keeps his weapons locked in time until "their time comes again..."

Forgot the bullsquid! I hate the controllers and the baby(nihilanth) couse they look like babies and it's the last thing a game needs! And controllers have those jeppanis underwears(like the ones that sumo fighters wear) I think they are called togo or something like that.

the grenaded penguins in Op4. think of that. there like the counsins of the snarks, but they have grenades staped to them.
think of there targets:
"what the hell is that thing?"
"I think its a penguin Mr."
"what the hell is a penguin doing in a FPS?"
"who cares, there cute!"
"aww your right...ah, it bit me, stupid penguin"
man pulls out gun
"die"
gunshot, gunshot
BOOM
stupid enemby AI, thinking you can escape the grenade with legs, that hurts you like a snark until it blows up.
but my favorite Monster is still the garg

I used to like the bullsquids because they attacked headcrabs...
It showed their MANPOWER
You could say I also like the shadows that are there but never show for the time is not right. They are very less

Wow. Popular thread. I forgot the penguins. I put them in the place of snarks for my entire HL folder because the snarks are just more annoying for some reason.
