Chances are that Half-Life 2 and its expansions have been gathering dust on your Steam account for years now, so here's a quick refresher - mostly focused on the past five years - on what's available, single player-wise. Half-Life 2 is nearly fifteen years old now, and despite Valve's sequel plans seemingly fizzling out, it doesn't look a day over ten thanks to the efforts of modders. However the G-Man never bothers to hire him at the end, instead allowing the Vortigaunt to remain on Xen with his own kind.Every other Monday, Dominic gives you a reason to dust off one of your old games and dive into its mods with Modder Superior.

Although the scientists assume that Vortigaunt Freeman will destroy it's leader Nihilanth, instead Vortigaunt Freeman doesn't carry out this task and instead is worshiped by Vortigaunts upon it's arrival on Xen. Despite being a vortigaunt, the aliens turn on Vortigaunt Freeman, which forces him to kill them.Īfter a long journey the Vortigaunt arrives the lambda lab, where it uses a portal to travel to Xen. The Vortigaunt triggers the resonance cascade which opens up a portal to its previous home Xen, unleashing aliens upon the facility who proceed to attack the people working at the facility. The Vortigaunt identifies as Gordon Freeman and is tasked with testing out a crystal from Xen in the test chamber. The Vortigaunt's only difficulty is not being able to understand the English language, which sounds like gibberish. The Vortigaunt is 27 years old and somehow working at the Black Mesa Research Facility with humans, who don't seem to be bothered by his presence.

His journey during the Black Mesa Incident is similar to the real Gordon Freeman, but if he was replaced with a Vortigaunt a.k.a. Vortigaunt Gordon Freeman is the protagonist of the Half-Life "Alien Mode" for the Playstation 2.
