Something about half life decay (spoiler warning)

[musicshootout198]

Ok idk if anyone remember this game but in HL decay you see two military soldiers finally got and kill freeman but in hl2 he alive how? Was half life decay a different storyline? I’m curious

[Just Chill]

Would you mind linking to a video or another source of Freeman's execution?

I have played Decay on PS2, but I never encountered that scene.


Addition...
Ah, it's a cut scene:

Seems they are... "not canon" (I said it XD).
But I guess we can fairly say that they are not canon as they are cut from the game.


It's from the cut Mission 9:

Very little information is available about what was originally intended to be the ninth mission as no media demonstrating it has ever been released and few remnants of the level remain in the game files. It would have directly followed the events of Hangar. In an interview, Gearbox designer and writer Randy Pitchford described a mission in which Gina and Colette would manage to save Gordon from being killed after he is captured by the military.

“There's also an instance in the original game where you're knocked unconscious by soldiers, who then begin dragging you somewhere, muttering about how they're going to kill you. You wake up later in a trash compactor wondering what happened. In Decay, you find out that these two scientists are the ones who save you--because you, yourself, have to save Gordon from the soldiers in Decay.”

Oh it was cut from the game if so why?

I don't know.

I just experienced the regular PS2 version of Decay and found these information about the cut levels right now by googling it. :)

This never happens in Decay. However, you may be confusing it from the ending of Blue Shift where Barney sees the two military personnel dragging Gordon's body to the trash compactor. See here:

What happens in Decay..stays in Decay.

[Reginald CZ]

Wasn't that supposed to be just a game over scene, if players wouldn't be able to stop the marines from shooting Gordon in time (or something similar) and thus non canon?

[Olde]

I love Decay. Probably a little out of line here but I'd love to play it with someone if they also have the PC mod and can talk via Discord.

Was making a little joke there..explaining the joke isn't funny.

Whats happens in vegas...stays in vegas

You do realise I wasn't actually responding to you or "explaining the joke," but just using your quote as a jumping off point to talk about Decay, right?

I was in some other discussion earlier and read your response wrong because my hackles were up.

I apologize.

I just made an edit...because now I don't know wtf is going on.

[musicshootout198]

Hey guys ok look all I know that it was cut from the game and also the military just knock freeman out so what else to expect?

I always read it like this. XD

Except they shot him in the hazard suit, not his unprotected head... hazard suit absorbed the blast... so Gordon is still alive.
