The trailer on the offical website is pretty cool, its like a trailer for a movie.
One question though since gordon freeman is only a scientist why is he being used by the miltary to do combat operations?

AFAIK, he isn't. He has no military connections.

The G-man is above the military I think. I'm not too sure but I'm fairly sure that Gordan isn't working for the military, especially since they were trying to kill him.

But g-man didnt exactly want him alive either he only let him live because he survived for so long. Well anyway, time will tell.

Because of the potential he showed in Half-Life. Surely you noticed that the entire point of the original game was to tell the story of Gordon's transformation from mere scientist into near-superhuman hero? Now the G-Man has forseen an opportunity to avail of his talents again, Gordon has been unleashed.

Sounds like speculation to me. Its clear the intentions of the G-Man are suspect. Many of the Half-Life mods speculated as to what his true intentions might be. Some predicted that he was setting himself up as dictator of the Xen world (and possibly Earth). Others predicted that he was in league with the aliens from the beginning, or that he was a time traveller with advanced knowledge of certain events. What do Valve have in store for him? Who knows...

mr_angry I'm writing the story for HL3 as I speak I should have it finished in a couple of more minutes.......as soon as I figure out how to get some lesbian porn in, but anyway I'm sure you will all enjoy it - it's class it has everything!; Guns and other Guns, Oh and dont forget Targets. I think my story is going to drive the game:cool:, Porn, Guns, People You Kill; Perfect.

Sorry. Sarcasm doesn't seem to come out well in plain text. We really need sarcasm tags in this place...
