What's the purpose of this site? The Half-Life Saga Story Guide was created in order to provide a concise, accurate, user-friendly overview of the events dealing directly with the events of the Half-Life Saga, and allowing users to easily get a better understanding of the story behind the games.



Why did you make this site? The Half Life games' story is told in a method far different from the way typical stories and games are told, which is in a very passive nature. It's up to you, the player, to piece together the information and make conclusions on it. Inherent in these games is the fact that Gordon Freeman simply isn't supposed to know what's going on all the time; he's being kept in the dark for a reason. If you're diligent enough however, it's easy to put together a pretty accurate account of what exactly is going on around the game, and what events preceded them. I've tried to do this and document it here.



Where do I get started? The main navigation is on that column over there on the left. Going by section, most of the information about the saga is laid out in the Saga Timeline in chronological order, so you're best to start out with that. Extended information about the Combine and other specific elements of the games can be found in the Expanded Info section. More specific answers to frequently asked questions can be found in the FAQ section. To read up on the latest updates and goings on of this site, check out the Latest News section. If you still have a question, feel free to contact me at the Author section.



Is there anything else I should know? Remember, this site contains massive spoilers regarding the events of the two HL games. The content of this guide assumes you've beaten both Half-Life and Half-Life 2, so if you haven't, steer clear.
