Could Gordon Freeman Survive Halo? 

There’s only one classic strategy that Gordon could use to survive: Run. Think. Shoot. Live.

Gordon doesn't need to hear all this, he's a highly trained professional

The right man in the wrong franchise makes all the difference.

Halo npcs after seeing Gordon Freeman for the first time. “Ah Gordon freeman and about time to”

Gordon is a bhop speed demon Don’t question his abilities

9:30 ackshually, the reason Johnson survived, is because he's a Orion/Spartan 1 and the chemical augmentations he had made him resistant to the flood (as well as being probably the most badass SOB this side of the milky way)

Rise and Shine Master Freeman

5:09 They are because 1. They track you 2. If 7 get stuck on you, they explode.

Very interesting video. Would love to see more "what if" scenarios like this. But the real question is... Would YOU survive The Flood, noclick?

John Half Life

As a mild expert on both series, Master Chief with Cortana dwarfs Freeman in every way save the amount of weapons Gordon carries. That alone could easily be enough for our Crowbar knight to get through Halo 1. Good on you!

Gordon would beat Halo because of the door infinite door glitch used In Half Life 1 for speedruns, he is fking cracked with that.

I remember the worst part of Halo: CE *FLOOD WITH ROCKET LAUNCHERS...*

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.

Of course Gordon could survive, he's a highly trained professional Also if you really think about it, the covenant and the enemies in Half Life (in 1 anyway) aren't all that different, headcrabs and zombies are similar to the flood, the vortigaunts are likely the best equivalent to the grunts, the alien grunts are the best equivalent to the elites ironically enough and the giant xen creatures (can't remember the name but the flamethrower ones) are best equivalent to the hunters, and the HECU are equivalent to the skirmishers and jackals, and Black Ops assassins are the best equivalent to the invisible elites (i also apologize if this is hard to read)

There was a fanfic some time ago, called _Halo: Freeman Evolved,_ and while it had some non-lore friendly elements on it, it was a interesting idea of what could've happened if Master Chief and Gordon Freeman swapped places.

Ah its the Half Life 2 version of Gordon, remember he has the power of Source Engine Physics by his side. There is no telling what Unforseen Consequences he will be able to bring to the Covenant.

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

More Weapons for Gordon

I feel like a Hunter's flechettes are a good analogue for Needler needles.

It depends on which Freeman we are talking about.

The warthog run but it’s just Gordon bunny hopping

There's another reason HALO Custom Edition, active mod

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

Chief, what are you doing on that covenant cruiseship? Sir, showing my a$$ to the covenant. MASTER CHEEKS

My two favourite franchises!!!

That's actually a mod I've been wanting to see for a while, GoldSRC Halo. With Gordon instead of Master Chief. Especially now we have func vehicles.

I dont think the antidote injections or the HEV suit will help gordon with the flood ways of infection, but is a good detail

1:22 Also Gordon can abuse the batteries on Covenant weapons to recharge his shields, if we were going to do this from a lore perspective.

Can't wait for "Why is "Could Gordon Freeman Survive Halo?" so bad"

Could Gordon Half-Life become a Gordon Halo? And could John Halo become John Half-Life? Also, if you don’t mention this: Gordon Freeman can backpack reload all of his weapons (IIRC).

I love the idea of this being a series!

This is a certified flood with rocket launchers moment (also imagine him using the halo shotgun like the half life shotgun and firing 2 shells at once) (ps noclick if you see this nice vid and it would be cool to see if master chief could survive half life)

Definitely make more of these

Gordan Freeman would just reverse bunnyhop his way through the Library

Awesome video from Noclick once again!

11:01 This is not the same, it’s quite the opposite, it will drain the power of his suit and it will probably kill Gordon. Fun video bdw

i dunno if I'd say the blanket statement of the hev suit protecting gordon from 'energy discharges' would necessarily apply to plasma, with it kinda just being balls of concentrated *sun*, this is to say the main saving grace gordon has through all of this is stretching the definition of energy discharges

I need a 10 hour version of that crowbar swinging clip please god

If freeman is gonna tango with the flood, he'd have to wear a helmet lol

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.

He has helmet on during games, he wouldn't survive all the radiation he encounters without it.

Or for a next video: could Master Chief survive the Black Mesa incident and/or Half-Life 2 combine occupation?

Gordon kept his overcharge for the rest of the game, and even partially through episode 11:59

Ah, but could Dr. Freeman survive Reach?

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.

Should be noted sgt johsnon is a Spartan himself

Someone should make a mod that ports CE in Half-Life 2. Then we’d be able to actually experience this.

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.

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.

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...

My two favorite games in one frame

5:21 hl2 overcharged reference?

i liked the idea, good video! :) And how about Gordon Freeman surviving Serious Sam?

I think you should include that Gordon Freeman have time god as guardian angel.

most is accurate except for the getting shot part, the HEV suit mark V can withstand shots really well, it also administers morphine if legs get broken and etc. and also gordon tanks bullets like they are nothing aswell can survive a literal superheated crossbow bolt to the chest if max suit energy (for this instance overshield) so that means he would likely be able to go on with the usual stuff even if shot

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

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.

Nice vid!

Wowsers! This video is definetly the most not stupid video I have ever seen!

Gordon doesn't wear a helmet because of his glass. I can relate.

How dare you call my marines and elites not smart

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.

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

Guy has vague knowledge in both franchise but mad respect for tryin to think about this logically to an extent and trying to make it fun

3:15 I thought Gordon wasnt slapping with the assault rifle lol

Well they are both amazing.

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?

"Master Chief, you mind telling me what you're doing on that subway train?"

"Can the Freeman survive a trillion sniper jackals?"

9:34 He's canonically a Spartan 1

You forgot to pick up an over shield in 343 guilty spark.

0:47 CANONICALLY in HL1, Gordon was wearing his helmet! In HL2, this may be more questionable

I would like to see the entire Halo Franchise

Gordon can survive anything, he's a highly trained professional.

There is no antidote for the flood, so a Freman would die from one bite.

The zombie combine if I'm not mistaken, can sometimes carry weapons, right? So I guess some of the flood wouldn't be suuuuper different?

I am sure with that gravity gun they can save the world again and again

Someone else said that gordon doesnt have cortana or his neural implant meaning hed get trapped in the covenant ship, and of he did survive the library by miracle, cortana wouldnt be there to save him and hed erase all life in the galaxy killing himself in the process

9:35 he's a spartan 1. for reference the master chief is a spartan 2 (the best of the 4 generations of spartans) he probably actually fought flood, too. but still probably mostly ran away

Predicting it now: He survives up to the end of the Maw but dies when the Autumn explodes because how the hell is going to fly a spaceship?

I have a suggestion for a next video: A comparison between the ironman mcu suits (From ironman 1 to The avengers) vs The hev suit and wich one is better

Could Doomguy survive Halo?

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

I thought the text on the bottom right at 3:46 was the “activate your windows” text.

So basically gordon freeman and black mesa is an advanced type 4 ( galaxy cluster) civilization and unsc and master chief is an early type 3 civilization so gordon freeman will destroy master chief because he is a highly trained professional

He can survive in any way after becoming Gordon's crowbar💀

I'm very surprised to hear that an HEV suit could block a plasma shot, considering a single one of those melted through a Mark 4 MJOLNIR armor.

Please make a video of if Gordon Freeman could survive Dead Space

Well considering plasma weapons in Halo absolutely melt people and armor and the Flood tear through armor and flesh to take control of them I'd maybe (The information of the plasma weapons is from the Halo books)

Yes.

Gordon's model in HL 1 doesn't have a helmet, however in Black Mesa he has one.

If he was given a helmet, yes he could survive the flood.

Freeman is facing full life consequences in the Halo installation

Could Halo survive Gordon Freeman?

My two favorite characters

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

Yes, Gordon has limitless potential

I've been looking for the music used at 2:07 for a while now. I've scoured RadHaz's channel and I can't find it. Anyone know the name?

There needs to be a halo mod with Gordon and weapons and enemies from half life 2 in halo
