Having played through Half Life 2 Episode 2 I could'nt fail to notice a photo hanging in the lab at White Forest. I think I recognise some of the faces, although they look more like the Half Life 1 models...

think about it y would any time in the future look like Black mesa just saying I think Half life 1 is like the 70's(possible becuse gordan was 27 at the time of Black mesa)-90's and half life 2 is some where in the future(mabby 2010-20)

WAIT mabby the thing at the bottum is Anomalous Materials Graduits(collage(MIT))

the Man and the women at the end left, are seperate sceintists, they are also to do with the Borealis, and as such portal, the one with the X will be Breen as kliener will not want to remeber him, everyone knows gordon, the one at the back left, is Eli vance, and kliener is the one infront of gordon on the left, the rest i don't know about.

AMG stands for A: Anomalous
M: Materials
G: group

ok so 1 the half life 1 events are said to take place in 1995ish 2 the year in half life 2 is 2015ish. 3 the lady in the picture is definantly not gina, collete or judith because judith (i believe never worked in black mesa because eli said she was up for gordons job at black mesa but failed. 4 the crossed out sceintist could be the sceintist with red hair that was cut out of the game in later stages.

I cannot say for certain, but I think Eli introduces you to Judith with something of a phrase: You might remember Judith. She was in Black Mesa too.
Pherhaps a possibility that she worked there after all.
Though, please correct me if I am wrong, for it is a long time since I last checked it out.

Is it not possible that the short woman at the front is Alyx's mother? It would make sense, she looks nothing like Gina or Collette, and it's pretty likely Breen knew her (judging from the end of HL2, when he says 'You have your mothers' eyes but your fathers' temper' to Alyx). Would possibly explain why Alyx has a Black Mesa hoodie small enough for her as well.
yeah... | 14/10/2009, 13:23
The guy crossed out is Breen
Abbaraak | 28/10/2009, 08:22
If you look at the photo Eli shows you at White Forrest, Alyx's mother looked nothing like that. Also, in the HL1 manual, it says 200-, meaning the game takes place between 2000 and 2009. Many fans believe, for the sake of clarity in time-lines, that the events of HL1 take place in alternate history 2000 and that HL2 takes place 20-25 years later (Due to the age of Alyx), making it set in 2020-2025. I also agree with einstein in saying that the letters are AMG, which stand for Anomalous Materials Group.

number 1 looks like gordons father^^
Eric | 15/01/2010, 16:33
Yeah, it would make sense that the story in Half-Life 2 takes place in a later time than HL1. G-man puts Gordon into a "sleep" or similar, being confirmed when G-man states: "Rise and shine, Mr.Freeman" at the beginning of HL2

As far as I understand Half-life 1 is placed somewhere in 1990-2010 and Half-life 2 is placed 20 years later, because there is no children anywhere, but still about 20 years old people.
I think also that the A.M.G means Anomalous Materials Group.
I don't think the woman in picture is Vance's wife, because she wasn't a scientist. She only lived in Black Mesa campus with Alyx and Eli.

"2 is placed 20 years later, because there is no children anywhere"
Holy shit there were no children in HL1 either! CHILDREN DIDN'T EXIST BACK THEN!!!!!!!!!
Thomalio | 23/03/2010, 22:58
The girl in the picture, could it be Eli's wife?
As you heard, Eli said that she died during the ressonance cascade.
bluhrs | 04/04/2010, 15:21
half life 2 is set 20 years after the black mesa incident
Dimori | 02/05/2010, 20:54
It is actually said in HL2 that people couldn't breed and so there couldn't be any children either..
And as for HL1 it's hard to imagine children in corridors of top secret research facility. Even though it's forbidden to put children in a shooter game...
Mr_sam | 10/05/2010, 22:24
2: is eli who died in episode 2
Magnusson | 27/05/2010, 20:42
Doesn't it say "AMG"? Could stand for Anomalous Materials Group maybe...

That the nr. 3 is Einstein and nr. 4 is the guy who mess things up for Gordon's work.
I also think... That... Now you will go against me but... That Gordon Freeman is Gman, or that Gman is his mind. You see him talk with one doctor in HL2, but that could be the guy crossed over and in his mind is Gman...
Now why i think Gordon is Gman or his mind is: That Gman don't have a specific name, and G could stand for Gordon. Also Gman helps gordon on ways, and you see him when Gordon kinda sleep.
Now... umm... I don't know why Einstein should be there, but he looks very well like Einstein - also the doctor or doctors that looks like Einstein.
Well... Umm... Valve - the creator of Half-Life - is maybe read some posts on the internet about the whole story behind Gordon and the people he works with. So it would be really nice to have their story on a website, or their website to know what happen - but again, it's the exciting about the game, that you don't know anything about anyone - even not Gordon Freeman.

G-man keepped Gordon trance, and in kinda like a place where time is stopped - but though it was only 15 years so that's the end of that theory. I think the 67 stands for some science team number or else, but our best hope is that it doesn't matter.. :)
