So the Overwatch is made up of humans?This was good to read, very detailed and showed how the HalfLife and Portal stories ran in parallel, which I had always wondered about.
I never thought of Overwatch to be humans. Thanks for the information.
Damn, and I thought I knew everything regarding the HL2 Cannon already. This is both disappointing and great at the same time. Nevertheless, thanks for the great reading and source!
Well, it's time to forget about that, because Half-Life 2 has arrived. And, in many ways, this big-budget sequel does what it sets out to do: Half-Life 2 is a technically amazing, sharply honed first-person shooter that pulls all the tricks that made Half-Life such a beloved experience. With that said, many of those tricks feel more than a bit familiar now, and the game itself is saddled with a disappointing story. Still, that doesn't stop Half-Life 2 from being a very impressive and engaging shooter, and a faithful follow-up to one of the greatest PC games of all time.
Skimmed through the thread, dunno if it's been mentioned, butTHEY DIDN'T KILL CHILDREN OR BABIES. THEY INVADED IN 200-, AND YOU PLAY HL2 IN 202-, WHY DO YOU THINK THERE ARE TWENTY-YEAR OLD LOOKING PEOPLE THERE?!
The Combine's ultimate purpose is to convert all of humanity into stalkers, and all of the vortigaunts into the slaves they were before Gordon freed them.More important minds are taken to Nova Prospekt, where they are stored in containment and experimented on - the Combine want to get as much knowledge out of humanity as they can before they destroy it. All of these things are leading to a drastic change in the purpose of humanity - it is about to become a slave race.
Finally, the Combine begin to drain Earth's oceans. These tasks show that the Combine are preparing Earth for new residents.

According to our canon, the Combine invaded in 2015 and the RP takes place in 2016. It's simple as that, keep those two years in mind and you'll be fine.
