When thinking about it I believe no. 5 could probably be Dr. Breen (seeing his drop in popularity during HL2).
This would also mean that no. 2 could be Eli Vance. There was a quite long time gap between HL1 and HL2 which would explain the slightly younger looks on him.

GMan didn't really have a place at Black Mesa, he wasn't a researcher. The Second one is Eli, 4 im sure will come up, 5 is Breen, 7 is kleiner, 8 is Gordon, and 9 is the new researcher they bitch about in episode 2.

9 is really a scientist in HL1
but looks like G-man.
6 is Dr. Magnussen from HL2 Epsiode 2.
and the 1 with the X is either
Breen G-man or someone nobody knows about.

3 = Judith Mossman?

She worked at Black Mesa at the time, and shes the only female in the picture.

What i want to know is, what does the "A.M.G" stand for in the bottom left?

K i did some research. Looks like AMG stands for "Advanced Metallurgy Group".

Which refers to scientists working on radioactive metals. Winner.

As I can see the photo...to me it looks something like this :
1.Dr.Rosemberg
2.Dr.Eli Vance
3.Gina Cross
4.Colette Green
5.Dr.Wallace Breen
6.Dr.William Burns
7.Dr.Isaac Kleiner
8.Dr.Gordon Freeman
9.Dr.Magnuson
Stop guessing people...and start investigating...:))

And by the way...G-man was not in the foto...because he is the very one man that actually RULES that place...anyway...I don't think that...black mesa had something to do in the actual evolution of combine...just that the incident started the world connaisance...that's the bad thing that started the collide of worlds...if you want to know more...contact me...

It was G-man who told eli to put the crystal thing in the lazer thing that you did in half-life 1, Eli told you in episode 2 :) so its gmans fault!

"Xen"- Have you even seen gina cross and collette green? they look nothin like that!http://images.wikia.com/half-life/en/images/2/26/GinaCross.jpg (from half life decay on the PS2 version of half life) The fourth and last guys are just scientists from HL1 (eli and kleiner too but they're in HL2 too so...) And about the combine's arrival, There's some stuff about that on Wikipedia.

"Gman"-you need to pay more attention, What eli ses gman told him before the accident was to "prepare for unforeseen consequences"

"lol"- it probably isn't mossman either i don't think she was in their group (i think thats why she's jealous of gordon)

If you notice, this same photo hanging up in Dr. Kleiner's lab back in city 17.

Left to right.

1. Unknown (possibly Rosenberg or a Valve employee due to photo realistic face)
2.Eli Vance
3. Unknown (possibly a Valve employee due to photo realistic face)
4. Einstien (scientist head model 2 from HL1)
5. Breen
6. Unknown (possibly Magnusson)
7. Isaac Kliener
8. Gordon Freeman
9. Slick (scientist head model 4 from HL1)

The writing at the bottom appears to be A.M. and the third character is unknown.

A.M. stands for Anomalous Materials which was the name of the Lab where the photo was taken.

Number 9 is definetly just the default model scientist

do you know what is that foto in freemans locker in HL1?

There has been a lot of argument behind the photo in Freeman's locker. It is a baby who is actually the child of a ValvE employee but a lot of people believe that it may also be Alyx, daughter of Eli Vance.

If you ask me, keeping a photo of a colleagues baby in your locker would be kind of creepy.

I think it is just an easter egg placed by one of the mappers.

yeah, u are right, just an Easter egg, cuz somewhere in HL1, i saw the same photo, don't sure where,sure far in the game. maybe in Dr. Eli Vance's office:)
and Judith Mossman, when she introduces herself to Dr. freeman, she says "I heard about u long before Black Mesa incident" and so on.. so she don't know Dr freeman, and she couldn't be that. and i thing that 2nd is Dr Eli Vance cuz 2nd Dr is the only one afro-american in that pic and Eli is black, i am not an rasist but i think that.

i think the text at the bottom says "AM '67" as in Anomalous Materials 1967.

C-Bird: if that was in "67, and we play gordon now. Plz explain why we arent playing an maybe 70 year old man with a crowbar?

C-Bird i thogt(sorry for bad english)half-life is in futere

sorry for duoble posting
C-bird i mean valkyrie

As far as I remember Gordon is put in a kind of stasis by G-Man at the end of HL1 and later awakened at the beginning of HL2. I believe there are several references in HL2 that Gordon had vanished during the first invasion and that everybody he know (and who knew him) had grown quite a bit older.

I believe that HL2 plays in the future but not as far as 2067. Human technology hasn't progressed that far and the introduction of alien technology as well as the stagnation of human engineering under the alien supression would explain this strange mix of sci-fi and conventional gear.
