Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the main character in "Half-Life 2"?

Answer: Gordon Freeman

Gordon Freeman is a scientist that was first hired to work at Black Mesa, but fatefully found himself caught up in strange events. The name is actually a homage to the physicist and philosopher Freeman Dyson.

2. What is the name of the antagonistic police force in "Half-Life 2"?

Answer: The Combine

Combine is also known as the Universal Union. It consists of alien and human characters that dominate Earth. The name "Combine" is actually a tribute to Ken Kesey's novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", which features harsh and manipulative authorities.

3. Which company developed "Half-Life 2"?

Answer: Valve Corporation

Valve Corporation is an American video game developer in Bellevue, Washington. It was founded in 1996 and became famous by its first game, "Half-Life" which won over 50 PC Game of the Year awards.

4. Which game is first introduced in "The Orange Box"?

Answer: "Portal"

"Portal" was later released as a stand-alone product on April 9, 2008. It has received praise for its unique gameplay, dark humor, and the final credits song "Still Alive".

5. Which gun never runs out of ammo, is used in "Half-Life 2", "Half-Life 2: Episode One", "Half-Life 2: Episode Two", and can lift almost any object in the game?

Answer: The Gravity Gun

The Gravity Gun is also called the "Zero-Point Energy Field Manipulator", but no one has the time or patience to call it that. The Gravity Gun can also shoot a powered spark that can shoot objects through the air and flip cars.

6. "Half-Life 2" is a first-person shooter.

Answer: True

The "Half-Life" games have won many awards, including Best First-Person Shooter. There is never a time in the game where you can see Gordon Freeman in third-person view. Another interesting fact, there is also never a time in any "Half-Life" game where Gordon Freeman speaks.

7. Are there cut scenes in "Half-Life 2"?

Answer: No

One of the few games that has no jumps or cut scenes throughout the entire game. The game is criticized because the critics believe that you cannot explain the back-story when you only see the game through one view. It also doesn't help the protagonist (Gordon Freeman) never speaks....

8. Which one is NOT an actual class in "Team Fortress 2"?

Answer: Machinist

The other classes are Soldier, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, Pyro, and the Spy. Each class has their own unique weapons and abilities.

9. The Spy can disguise himself as an enemy in order to infiltrate the enemy base.

Answer: True

This is one of my favorite features in "Team Fortress 2". The spy not only takes on an enemy player's look, but they are also given the Gamertag of an opposing enemy to further the deception. Spies also have the ability to temporarily turn invisible.

10. How does "Half-Life 2: Episode One" begin?

Answer: With Vortigaunts rescuing Alyx

"Half-Life 2: Episode One" begins with the explosion of the reactor core where Alyx and Gordon are about to be engulfed in the flames. The man known only as the G-Man rescues Gordon and puts him into stasis and Vortigaunts rescue Alyx. This satisfied the cliff-hanger in "Half-Life 2" where it ended with the explosion and left gamers unsure of Alyx and Gordon's fate.
