Freeman joins the Resistance, including some old colleagues from Black Mesa, and is able to help disrupt the Combine's control of Earth by destroying the Citadel, the Combine base of operations in City 17 in Eastern Europe. He 'stores' Freeman and reawakens him ten years later to deal with a new crisis.īy this time Earth has been invaded and occupied by the Combine, an interdimensional alien race whose attention was drawn to Earth by the original Black Mesa incident. His skills are noted by the mysterious 'G-Man', who initially appears to be a shadowy government inspector but is ultimately revealed to be some kind of non-human (or possibly post-human) intelligence with formidable powers over time and space. Freeman, armoured in an experimental Hazardous Environment Suit, is able to halt the invasion and destroy the alien controller, the Nihilanth. An accident at the facility results in alien creatures from the planet Xen invading the facility.

The series charts the adventures of Gordon Freeman, a scientist at the Black Mesa Research Facility. The series is also one of the most commercially successful video game series of all time, with more than 20 million copies sold since 1998, and has an immense number of fans. The Half-Life series is frequently cited as the best first-person shooter series of all time, notable for its focus on atmosphere, immersion and puzzle-solving as well as combat. Valve have also developed Portal (2007) and Portal 2 (2011), which are set in the same universe but follow a mostly-unrelated character and storyline. The Half-Life series is a best-selling first-person shooter gaming franchise developed by Valve Corporation. Rock Paper Shotgun has highlighted some of the problems gamers are having with Valve over the issue. However, a recent comment by a Valve employee seemed designed to end such speculation, hinting that any announcement about the game is still some way off.
The non-appearance of the next game in the Half-Life series has become a bit of a running joke in the gaming community over the past few years, but in the last few months slivers of evidence have started mounting up that Valve are close to some sort of announcement about the future of the franchise.
