So in the game titled 'hunt down freeman' you never once actually see Gordon Freeman in the flesh! (oR raTHer hIS remaINs x3)
Even more insulting when all the trailers prior showed the scene with Gordon's head clearly visible as he pummels Sergant Mitchell in the flesh (or rather, his remains). A very poor bait and switch, if you ask me.
Only things I could give credit to were very sparse
- Seeing the night sky almost blotted out by countless of Synth aircraft really nailed down the sheer extent of Combine's power by bruteforcing the planet into submission.
- Partial cleverness with G-man: He offered Mitchell authority, to have time to amass power by killing off any other authoritative figures that could stand in Mitchell's (or rather, his remains') way:
- Colonel 'Loading' Queue
- Harvey Fresh Ltd.
- Captain Rose-felt Jesus in his heart
Although it can be argued these could've done more if left alive on the grand scheme of things, but that's beside the point.
