I remember around 2008 this level was broadcasted as an ad for ep.2 and I, being one of the people who was knee-deep in reading the lore of HL and still getting acquainted / planning to buy the Orange Box, was amazed by it. So many years later it still holds up! The upgraded source engine/graphics, the many environmental puzzels, the introduction of hunters / antlion guardians and the big open-air battle at the end of White Forrest. Only thing which wasn't right was the ending. Well, after HL: Alyx, Valve retconned and redeemed it. Now it all makes sense!
I can see how the Guardian inspired the new Gonarch at Black Mesa. Running after the player at much faster speed on it's lair, throwing object at the player, punching it with it's head. If it wasn't for the long Jump, we would see a sequence of tunnel to hide from Gonarch since it is so fast.
At times like that Guardian hunting Freeman, it becomes raging the fact that you don't have the Long Jump module, something that i wanted A LOT in my first time playing HL2.
@@Sexy_Nutella It's not necessary to mention the long jump module doesn't fit at all with the whole game map design, therefore isn't necessary in any rate. This is just a comment about nostalgia of Xen playtroughs. Anyways, I always wished to HL3 having the Long jump module as an epic comeback of that tool. Hope it gets back.
I do actually, there's been a couple of hints throughout the HL2 games that suggest Alyx has a thing for Gordon. And like Eli said, they do make a pretty good team
"you messed with it's eggs? no wonder it's mad."
*shoots the nearest grub with a pistol*
Haha! One last assertion of dominance from our man Gordon
11:29 "Doctor Freeemaaan..."
I think the voice actor did this line with a smile. (still creeps me out)
That line sent CHILLS down my spine

Yeah, I loved that they moved the setting away from the City and into the forest, it was a welcome change of environments.

I agree. The Guardian chase in ep2 was the first thing I thought of when I played through Gonarch's Lair in Black Mesa
11:02 "We weave the Freeman's life with hers." 😳
15:02 "Come on, Gordon. Next to me." 🥵
Valve couldn't have shipped these two harder if they tried lol

At least it made the encounter with the Guardian that much more tense :P

Oh I didn’t hear what he said and I was confused on why the guardian wasn’t dying-
Haha. That must've been brutal to have used up your ammo on it to see it still standing
gross bugs

"Parasitics, gross" - HL:A Combine ;)
Oh!

I got a question for you Nutella, idk if you are aware of this kind of stuff but do you ship Gordon and Alyx?

I have a question for ya nutella ,Do we have a hope for Half life 3?
We got a new Half Life game after 13 years so why not :)
@@Sexy_Nutella Yeah i think we need to wait for 19 years to get half life 3 i guess
