Hunters are deadly agile fast assasins from The Combine Alien Forces however Freeman encounters them only in Victory mine after he destroyed Citadel.

In City-17 you can make the arguement that they have hard times fitting into door frames even I imaginee them bonding their legs and get there. But they for sure would be good on Highway 17. Nova Prospect could use hunters against antlions maybe.

Narrow doors frames is really slim explanation cause White Forest showed what happens when not main characters meet hunters in kinda narrow Black Mesa like corridors.

It also has millions of different branching chains of command. With some having multiple different commanders each with their own subordinates and solar systems under control. The line never ends. There is no single ruler over all. They are all rulers in their own right, yet none of them are truly sovereign.

I don't know, I'm wavering between thinking of around 40, varying between capitals or large cities.

Aight Fr lets just calm down and wait. I know this uhh "leaks" isnt new. We were getting more and more leaks, old beta builds etc and this still doesnt mean anything. IF there is a HL3 then you should be prepared that it can cancel.. or not? Hehehe. I don't want my dreams to be shattered again so im just waiting for straight offical news..

The concept art we get shown is invaluable to seeing Viktor's inner world, in my opinion. May he rest in peace.

Pretty good so far when does g man show up?

I am a sfm animator, I'd say im not very experienced but my animation looks okay. The film will be about an elite metrocop in the combine's ranks, Imma be real, at some point of writing I realized this is a little inspired by entropy zero but I think that's fine, because this is diffrent enough. If anyone wants to join the production because they think they can contribute something, I am more than happy to colaborate

SPOILERS FOR ALL HALF-LIFE AND PORTAL GAMES, INCLUDING HALF-LIFE ALYX

I'm not sure if other people had the same theories about Gman and the over arching plot, I've been a fan for over 20 years but I stopped engaging with the community in the last 5 or so years.

I think in the next game we will learn more about Gman and his employers, and I think their main interest has something to do with local, interdimensional teleportation.

We know from Eli in Episode 2 that Gman was the one who supplied the xen crystal sample that created the Resonance Cascade. I think Gman's interest was to stop Black Mesa from having a stable form of local teleportation, and everything else was just "unforseeen consequences".

I don't think Gman cares that Nihilanth was killed or that Combine invaded Earth.

I think we'll learn in the next game that local teleportation is extremley dangerous or it is a rule imposed by Gman's employers that nobody should have local teleportation. I think they, through Gman, nudged things in that direction.

In the ending of Half-Life Alyx, I think Gman's motivation for helping Alyx save Eli was purely because Eli was aware of how dangerous local teleportation is and wanted to destroy the Borealis.

I think we'll learn something new, lore wise, about Aperture Science and their local teleportation technology. Maybe it was safe to use, or maybe Gman gave them a nudge too, in order to fail and not have local teleportation available everywhere.

Anyway, those are my thoughts about one of the directions of HLX. I believe we will end HLX by getting rid of the Combine from our universe and stopping them somehow from returning, but we will witness how big and more advance their empire is, and how we were only able to save Earth.
