Poll: What do you think is Gordon Freeman's trademark weapon?

[oliveira8]

Valve has a bloody golden crowbar in their lobby.

I ain't bullshittin' [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/videos/zeropunctuation/2655-Yahtzee-Visits-Valve-a-Travelogue.2]

I entered the Valve reception area and the first thing that struck me was the sheer number of awards lying around the place, ranging from simple perspex trophies along the window sill and shelves of framed certificates to a big golden crowbar and a wooden crate lying on the floor...

I think that won the argument.

Aint Valve a friendly company. If you wanna rob their HQ you dont need to bring a crowbar from home, just use theirs.

Google Gordon Freeman and this is the first image that comes up.

I'd just steal the Crowbar.

Well many games have the wrench and the crowbar but not many had the almighty gravity gun! The crowbar may be cooler and look awesome in pics but it is indeed unoriginal.

Just because a .44 magnum is used in other movies does not mean it is not Dirty Harry's trademark weapon.

He only needs a crowabr to kill anything. Heck, he can use his crowbar to deflect rockets back into enemy.

Nah, they probably have Gravity Guns lying around the receptionist desk, and anyway, we all know the crowbar is too epic to be touched by anyone else but Gordon Freeman.

I think OP's a little mixed up:
Crowbar is Gordon's trademark.
The gravity gun is HL2's trademark.

 

[Yooz]

The iconic one obviously is the crowbar, think about it, have you seen art with Gordon holding a grav-gun? I haven't..

Fair point but hey I'm one for the feeling of something special :/

 

[darkcow55]

Sure, the gravity gun is something special... but that was not the question.

 

[Lios]

A crowbar is much more useful than a zero point energy manipulator. And since the gravity gun only came around in the second game, and since the crowbar has proven to be the one weapon you'll always need, it's certainly Freeman's trademark weapon.




Pop-trivia: How did the Crowbar get its name?

 

[GyroCaptain]

Where's the option for "Beard and glasses"?

 

[FalloutJack]

Crowbar, the choice weapon of the apocalypse!

 

[Paradox244]

The crowbar is the only real answer here. The Gravity Gun is awesome and genre defining and all that, but the crowbar is still his signature weapon.

 

[Jabbawocky]

The crowbar is what is most associated with Gordon, but the gravity gun would also have to be a signature weapon.

 

[Angus565]

The crowbar i would guess it was in the 1st and 2nd half life so i would say Crowbar all the way!!

 

[Hippobatman]

Well, I haven't even played Half Life and still I associate Mr. Freeman with a crowbar.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

They are both his signature weapons equally.

 

[Howlingwolf214]

I myself don't have a opinion

Are you a robot?

Anyway. It's obviously the crowbar. I mean he's pictured holding the thing in most of the half-life 2 wallpapers.
