Gordon shits his pants

He didn't. There's no helmet in the lockeroom where he gets the suit, and when you see him in OPFOR and Blue Shift he has no helmet.

Play Half Life.

The Helmet is removable and he wears it in combat and removes it during conversations.

I find it difficult to believe swimming in radioactive sludge is doable without a helmet

He obviously wears a helmet, as otherwise all the crap he encountered in Black Mesa would've killed him. Not to mention taking a trip to Xen which possibly couldn't have a breathable atmosphere.

No. How else would every NPC in 2 recognise him otherwise?

I did. You see him without the helmet in OpFor, but you also see a HUD for oxygen when you're underwater and he would never survive in radioactive shit without one.

it's a video game

Gordon on the left must have a concentration camp build to fit into that tight suit, just look at the waist goddamn.

It's stylized art.

I still need answers.

>Not to mention taking a trip to Xen which possibly couldn't have a breathable atmosphere
So how did all the creatures on Xen survive Earths atmosphere?

Ugly alien green magic
or they don't breathe

It's projected on his glasses

All the HEV suits you see on Xen have the helmet.

HEV has atmospheric filtration (one of the first systems checked when you pick it up for the first time). You can't have atmospheric filtration if you're not wearing a helmet. Every other scientist wearing the HEV suit has the helmet on.

Yes but he takes it off when he feels like he doesn't need it.

ok but how did the creatures on xen surives earths atmosphere.

He's very good at holding his breath

Why would he feel like he didn't need it when jumping into a fucking interdimensional portal?

Gman has taken an interest in Gordon and gives him a constantly replenishing air bubble. Or Xen has oxygen and the helmets are to prevent contamination risk in either direction

How did Barney survive on Xen without a helmet then?

His neck is very weird on that left art, maybe is on purpose to go with the "skinny nerd" look? Never understood why some people see this dude as some "badass".

He didn't

So you're saying he's a pencil neck nerd?

Nigga had a ponytail lmao

He only puts the helmet on when he goes underwater

Fuck i lost kek

>canon

You can only pick one user

I always assumed the helmet was what projected the HUD elements. I think you also don't get the HUD until you get the suit.
Thus, any time you can see the HUD, the helmet is on.

>escapes an facility by shooting 5000 special ops marines and aliens by himself

gee, why would people think this guy is a badass

He clearly has a helmet on

It doesn't matter. Gordon's model doesn't have a helmet and he never even sees one until he gets to Xen.

the suit can project a force field type of thing around his head

I read
>shirts his pants
and was quite confused

when headcrabs attack you but don't kill you, there's a cracking sound when they make contact with you, suggesting they're trying to break through your helmet to couple with your head but failed to do so

Alyx is cute

Fixed

Would absolutely marry and honeymoon in xen

Are you referring to the new half life Alyx?
if so, I agree

Did they changed the voice actress?

>Did they changed the voice actress?
Yes

Have you heard about the catatonic theory?
It says that once he got struck by a lighting in the test chamber he got knock out and the rest of the game he is in coma dreaming. Just because he forgot to put on the helmet.
The are explained by saying that Shepard is freeman alter ego (stronger)

This theory is old before HL2 was released. The fans speculated that is was a red herring by valve. (They released some confusing promotional videos that mention catatonic state)

He shoots all kinds of firearms in vents, he would be deaf without the helmet.
He traverses radioactive areas, the radiation doesnt just ignore the head if it was unprotected

but you see him without his helmet and how would everybody recognize him with a helmet on?

maybe it folds up when danger is nearby

He wore the helmet in Hunt Down the Freeman
