Just pretend Gordon received enough radiation from Black Mesa that it scrambled his DNA enough that he's immune* to Flood infection like Johnson was. *IIRC later lore changed this to the Flood just trolling people, or something, but that was under 343i.

[@martinnavarrete5279]

No, the change was under bungie, joseph staten himself said it like in 2005 and later he made it cannon with the halo visual novel. Before that around 2004 he said that they would probably ignore the immunity and retcon it in the future and they did.

[@tech34756]

@martinnavarrete5279 The way I remember it, Johnson was immune, but then the Forerunner Trilogy Novels stated that there is no cure for the Flood and that they basically pretend some kind of immunity exists. This was some time ago though.

[@mixtape82]

it's a little complicated. halo: first strike initially presented johnson being immune by way of a disease. this was retconned in the graphic novel that painted his disease as a hoax. later on, frank o'connor stated that johnson's disease made him harder for infection forms to turn, so he became a lower priority target for the flood's outbreak

[@tech34756]

@amerifatcheeseburger I believe In the past the canon was that Johnson's nervous system made it difficult for the Flood to infect him. However, I believe later canon also stated that the Flood can be selective over who they infect, to the point that they fooled ancient humans into thinking they had a cure. So Johnson could have just been to the Flood the equivalent of a several day old McDonald's cheeseburger or the Flood just trolling humans again.

Honestly, I am actually curious how Halo would play if this was an actual mod. No shield, instead have a suit that reduces incoming damage taken when you have some charge No weapon limit - carry every weapon from CE at once (it's not like they are many) Heck, maybe even alter the controls/movement a bit so that it's less floaty and slow and is more like HL1 or HL2

[@Lambda_Source]

[@JamesTDG]

[@m.w9418]

There's another reason HALO Custom Edition, active mod

[@possiblyzslot838]

People have conflicting opinions on Gordon and his HEV helmet. I think its highly implied that there are many moments (even in combat) where he is not wearing it, but I have to believe he was wearing it for large stretches of time, including most of HL-1 due to the sheer amount of environmental hazards (duh) that he could not have survived if he was even just breathing the air. HL-2 has much less hazards and his face is all over the marketing so its pretty safe to assume he was not wearing it nearly as often, but there are definitely times he must've had to put it on. Also, it's a bloody cool helmet idk why people seem to ignore it so much.

[@kyleyoung7314]

Freeman has one big advantage over master chief, it's his speed and agility. If you have his speed in half life 1 freeman can easily dodge any of those slow projectiles coming his way. Don't forget he also is capable of having long jump so he could just jump away from any incoming danger.

[@gummycubez]

Considering Gordon Freeman uses a reactive armor suit, Needlers would be not as effective against gordon, because the needles would individually explode each time they hit him, meaning they don't do much damage and cannot supercombine. He also doesn't suffer from the flaw of overcharge draining the suit, plasma pistol charges would just do more damage and maybe even charge the suit because of the EMP effect. Medkits are common in the first halo, so his health could always be stocked up, and remember that the Mark V suit resists a lot of bullet damage when charged. Gordon stands a considerably decent chance in this scenario, and with a plethora of weapons to back him up, he'll pass with flying colors.

0:47 why I think Gordon doesn’t have a helmet in Half-Life is, He did put on a helmet but it got destroyed when the test chamber exploded, and just doesn’t have one in the rest of the game and for HL2, Kleiner just didn’t make a helmet for some reason, could be because the Mark V is made for combat and not Science stuff. Hopefully this made sense, hope it did

[@Capiosus]

I think gordon would definitely be able to use the batteries in the plasma weapons to charge his suit.

[@noclick]

good thought actually

[@AudibleFist]

Johnson survived running from the flood because he was in the spartan program before chief, he was also immune to the infection because of the augmentations he took, which were not as extreme as Chief’s but nonetheless made it impossible for his assimilation for some reason.

[@Crow_Rising]

Something worth pointing out is that Gordon's equipment isn't the primary reason for his survival, but rather his mind. He's something of a strategic and survival prodigy, so sharp in his ability to process information and improvise a winning strategy that he's able to do this for days on end without a wink of sleep, and even maintains the ability to be a capable leader for the duration. It can be seen in the Xen levels in HL1 that there are other scientists who were similarly equipped to handle the same threats, and yet still ended up meeting an unfortunate end.

[@Ellesiumss]

If HEV Mark V absorb 80% of damage, in half-life 2. In halo canon, legendary is canon difficulty so. - Enemies do 180% damage - Enemies have 140% health - Enemies have 140% shields - Enemy shields recharge at 200% speed - Friends do 180% damage - Friends have 140% health - Friends have 140% shields - Friend shields recharge at 200% speed - The Flood infection attack lasts twice as long - Enemies have deadly reflexes, and fire in sustained, dead-accurate bursts - Overall, enemies are 140% efficient. Otherwise, gordon on hard mode and will receive high damage + because he's not modified soldier, energy sword will be fatal and elite punch will be serious injury for him. I don't think zealot will be easy for him, his shield literally high and will take half of ammo. Same as hunters. Next thing i want is, to put chief in half-life 2.

If Gordon did, it's safe to assume that a genetically enhanced super soldier from the 2500's with an armor costing in the billions jam packed with the best and latest technology humanity has to offer, and a super AI mapped to the brain of one of the greatest scientists to ever live, would survive with a stick and a rock as his starting weapons. And he has to share the rock.

@@MiguelChaach Gameplay mechanics are not canonical. Spartans are seen carrying way more than two weapons all the time. Also, what the hell would a poison headcrab do to someone wearing an *energy shielded* armor from head to toe?

Edit: And now, thinking about it, seeing how he has a grapple shot as of Infinite, I'm not sure he would need the gravity gun in most instances except in the citadel. He can just grab objects at a distance with it, and throw em at insane speeds seeing how he can deadlift about 5 tons while in armor.

You should've also added the movement module that Freeman gets that let's him jump really far. That makes running away a lot easier. Also, Freeman's movement speed, even his walking speed in both Half-Life games, is much faster than Master Chief's RUNNING speed. Master Chief walks as fast as Fat Albert. I'd also like to argue that Freeman might've been smart enough to pick up the energy swords instead of leaving them on the ground like Chief did in the first game.

Good video. Sergeant Johnson is resistant to the initial Halo CE Flood outbreak, which also had another oddity, Jenkins. He is not immune. There were a number of bull explanations, but the simplest is that everyone else was white. If he got bitten by the Flood again, he would be infected, just like any other life form. Note that the Arbiter also did not get infected. Presumably, if Gordon Freeman was involved, Black Mesa weaponry and HEV suit recharge points would be standard.

[@spartanwar1185]

So anyways Chief would be able to kick ass in HL2 in a one-on-one with even some of the meanest the combine has to offer (imagine him punching a hunter to death lol) Though i imagine he'd struggle with specialized situations Such as both roller and hopper mines, as well as anything that requires the gravity gun unless he brings it along with him the whole time (forgoing the second weapon slot) Excluding grenades, he'll probably always have plenty of those...Infact he could probably use those to solve his mine problem if used correctly...

I will say, Freeman also has a mobility advantage.. significantly so. And he can jump crouch on account of the mouse and keyboard... Also thanks to his background in theoretical physics, he has an infinite portal of holding in his but... This allows him to carry a large amount of equipment, something the Master Chief is limited on based on what it's available.. granted, it always seems to be available so it's not really too much of a problem.. But it is in advantage. Sure his energy shields or whatever for the power armor thing, they don't automatically refill, and that can definitely cause complications but.. The guy runs and can turn on a dime at like 20 miles an hour, and that's just when he's going around the office... No he does run faster with power armor it seems, although it's a little bit of a retcon if you ask me lol.. and worst case scenario, he gets into a dark room, because he has the world's most inefficient flashlight for some reason, and then he can't run and then he drowns or something.. Also again, he's kind of got a problem with the sauce, so when ladders aren't available he may need to engage in some longer drops for that major fracture boost.. and at this point if you take him out of the suit he's going to disintegrate lol pretty sure every bone in the body is broken but.. you know he seems to pull it off for for a good long time.. with no real signs of ever needing to take it off... But if he does, you might have to go back into the rehab train for a few years again. he may not be a career combatant, or rather he may not intended his career to be as a lifelong combatant.. which I guess he is now... Clearly that's going to be a disadvantage, but again, The guy can equip a small army out of his. ...uh .. hole.. And sure his actual capabilities are not terribly advanced in combat, but it does work... Even if it shouldn't.. and it's really boring... Which is not to say that the master chief is any BJ blaskowitz, or point man, or random dude from dark Messiah, or Richard b Riddick, or the MDK gimp in crysis, or JC Denton, Sam Fisher, Big Boss, Ryden, that old dude with the bandana, Max Payne, The sniper feller with x-ray eyes... Like he gets it done, I guess, but like.. you kind of wonder what all that combat training went into when if it wasn't for his helmet he wouldn't even be able to aim let alone hit things or even open doors or interact with switches lol.. But you know.. Freeman ain't exactly any of those fellas either, he just has basic hand eye coordination of a grown adult, sort of anyways he's a little slippery, but you know.. we're dealing with a really low bar here.

To be honest if all of the enemies in Halo were as strong as they were in the books or the lore, I don't think Gordon would be able to survive the whole game. Maybe a few levels he might pull through, but levels like attack on the control room or the library I doubt he'd survive

[@boundesumo]

chief cant be infected by the flood because his genetic augments make that hard and cortana, not just the armor

[@Kisseyhersh123]

I don't think Gordon could actually make it too far. The Flood is too menacingly unstoppable for Gordon to be safe from; he's helmet-less, and the only known immunity from the Flood comes from the Orion Program that Sgt Johnson was a part of. Covenant weaponry is also a huge no-go, Gordon's suit is designed to protect against EMPs and other electric impulses. Plasma is basically the equivalent of being hit with snowballs as hot as the Sun flying at you at the speed of a bullet. He would simply have to be incredibly fast on his feet and play a no-damage run in order to survive. But once the Flood get introduced, he's toast no matter what.

[@smashfanx7560]

if gordon got one of the rocket launchers from the zombies (assuming the zombies drop the rocket launchers), would he be able to rocket jump?

[@doguezter7047]

My headcannon is that Morgan Freeman puts his helmet on when his in Xen and the scientist guy there is only alive because that part wasn't exposed to the vacuum

[@nagger8216]

Gordon absolutely has a helmet, it completely defeats the purpose of his suit if he doesn't.

I think it makes me wonder if someone ended up recreating HL1 in Halo Custom Edition

[@luheartswarm4573]

Freeman is facing full life consequences in the Halo installation

Realistically, Chef can easily carry more weapons than what we can in the games. Gordon Freeman probably can't carry as many weapons as we can in Half-Life, even with the HEV suit equipped. As for the escape pod impact, it's possible that the extra weight from Chef made the escape pod crash as hard as it did. For the tank section, Gordon Freeman lacks a neural implant and would need one of the marines to be the driver. Gordon Freeman probably could survive against the Covenant forces but I don't see any way he could survive against the Flood even with his helmet on.

*Gordon Freeman escapes Halo via backwards long jumping to reach escape velocity*

"This is the Freeman. The Covenant reckoning has come".

[@Phantom_Aspekt]

Before the video even starts I'm going to say no, he's dead as soon as the Flood outbreak happens lol

[@johnbroh4030]

Gordon Freeman is like batman of FPS games , he always survives because he's Freeman

[@clan741]

I don’t think Freeman’s melee should of been nerfed completely. There are multiple examples in lore of un augmented marines punching the lights out of Grunts and Jackals, so I think Freeman with a crowbar could definitely game end them with a solid swing to the cranium. Elites and hunters though, that would be the limit of its effectiveness lol.
