[edit] More Information
I think the Half-Life series article should include more complete facts, such as dates of release, sales, and critical reception. 67.172.204.135 13:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lack of a Weapons List
I noticed a red-link in the Combine (Half-Life 2) article. Combine Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, to be specific, We need a weapons list for either the entire series, or each individual game. Black Mercy 21:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- A recent precedent has removed all weapon lists I believe. If you see any red links to weapons, feel free to remove them. Qjuad 06:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Episode Four?
Since Ep4 has been announced, why isn't it listed here? 82.117.101.124 19:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Because it wont be called Ep4 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.233.247.10 (talk) 00:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Half life.
I agree with the comments above, about having more complete facts would be good. I noticed half life shown on a TV show, Lost season 1, Ep 21, near the beggining of the show.. just for some information for other people in case some one wants to use this data. Jessycormier 20:06, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Portal
I could be mistaken, but as far as I know, Portal has not been given a confirmed place within the Half-Life series time-line, so it seems wrong to place it in the "Half-Life 2 era". Although perhaps HL2:Ep3 will shed more light on this. --Beeurd 00:37, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
You can find evidence of this in Portal itself (references to Black Mesa), the Portal "hacked" site, and Aperture Science is refered to at one point in Episode 2. The link is also mentioned in several interviews with personnel at Valve, so it seems to be a pretty firm tie in to me. 38.112.96.194 20:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Races merge
The following fail WP:FICT and should be merged: Race X, Tentacle (Half-Life), Nihilanth, Ichthyosaur (Half-Life), Headcrab, Gonarch, Gargantua (Half-Life), Carnivorous_Leech, Bullsquid, Black Ops (Half-Life), Houndeye, Barnacle (Half-Life), Alien Grunt, Alien Controller, Hazardous Environment Combat Unit and Antlion (Half-Life 2) --David Fuchs (talk) 19:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Merged info is now here. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 21:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Why does HECU Redirect here?
Why was the HECU page removed and instead HECU redirects here? I thought the former page was fine. Besides, this article makes no mention of the HECU, what they are, or what role they play. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.122.97 (talk) 04:45, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I agree, when they moved all the races into 1 talk page, they forgot the HECU page. Not only that, but without the HECU page, someone needs to edit all the articles and replace "HECU" with "Marines". I would do it, but I'm using a shared IP (this IP is used on about 100+ computers throughout the building) and somebody got it banned. So I can't edit until I get an account (It's on my to-do list).204.14.12.35 (talk) 14:38, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dog
I'm wondering why all the characters listed in the expandable section on Half-Life have their own page, except Dog? His (its) link redirects to the Half-Life 2 page (specifically the section on technology). While I am a Dog fan, Wikipedia should either have a page about him or remove him from the "important characters" section. As far as his importance to the plot goes, it falls somewhere between Huey Dewey and Louie from Silent Running and See-Threepio and Artoo DeeToo from Star Wars. 24.243.102.5 (talk) 03:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ease of Navigation and Continuity
I tried to find out some info about the Half-Life series a while ago, and found it quite difficult to navigate Wikipedia on this subject. This was partly due to the fact that few (or none) of the pages list here (the Half-Life (series) page). This means that there is no continuous thread or common link between all these pages. I wanted to add it to "see allso" , but I think its important enough to rather be worked into all of the introductions of these pages. Thus one could find your way about Half-Life through this page. =GeiwTeol 23:27, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
