Lol, well put, but i actually think its just a matter of the programmers' laziness.Anarchemitis post=9.68723.638113 said:
Well, one thing most players don't realize is the hazard suit has a helmet that covers his entire head. It's what projects the HUD, allows him to zoom in, and lets him breath under water (for damn short periods) and protects him from having his face shot off. You see it in Half-Life 1. Most assume there's nothing as most pictures of Gordon show, well, nothing on his head but those thick, super nerdy spectacles and perpetual stubble.Shrake12 post=9.68723.638772 said:
Dunno, guess because going down and elevator 100 miles per hour just isn't THAT comfortable. Just a wild guess here.GuerrillaClock post=9.68723.641484 said:
Aha, but you start Half-life 2 without your suit... when you do pick it up, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a helmet.Vigormortis post=9.68723.642988 said:

Sorry to point this out, but your helmet should have one but doesn't. When you get it in number one, it isn't connected. In number 2, when you see your suit, it's still not on. Plus all the pictures say otherwise. So, nah, he don't gots one.Vigormortis post=9.68723.642988 said:

Like how they modelled a cracked and fractured lower skull and jaw, just in case you managed [easily] to remove the headcrab from the body?Lil_Hank93 post=9.68723.642969 said:
The suit does have a helmet. Remember playing multiplayer in Half-Life? The default model you played as was of someone wearing an HEV suit with a helmet. It's also the original model design for Gordon in the old Hammer/World Craft files. You never see a helmet in any cover-art/concept photos because players identify with Gordon by seeing his face. Him not speaking is bad enough, but making him faceless too would be worse. Granted, you never really see Gordon put it on or take it off, but it makes sense he would have it as it lets him breath underwater (which, as short a time as it is, he does often) and, as I said, shows the HUD you see in-game. No point in wearing a hazardous environment suit, which is designed to protect you from fire, acid, radiation, and shrapnel, if it doesn't cover the head. Oh, and don't feel sorry for pointing out your idea. It was a valid attempt.PurpleRain post=9.68723.657880 said:
