n00b here.

I have questions because I've never played Half Life 1 before, but i've heard plenty about it, and read a lot too. But I have a few questions to help me better understand the game. (btw, did anyone else notice that the head crabs make a few noises that are DIRECT rips from super metroid? I thought it was awesome!)

I get why the zombies/aliens are there (elaborate Quake 1 rip off

). And I know the government wanted to kill everyone, including Freeman and he's basically a fugitive.

So what's exactly going on? Who are the resistance made out of? What exactly are they resisting? And does it seem like Dr. Breen is just killing everone who isn't his soldiers?

Another thing I noticed that was bothering me, is the city seems to have tall black walls that occasionally "step" inwards and swallow up anything in it's path, as if it's "Eating" the city alive, you have to actually escape being crushed at some point. What the fuck is that all about?

I'll eventually get around to playing the original game, but for now, I don't have time for another game.

Just give me a general idea of what's happening, i'll flesh out the details when I play the game myself, I just want to know wtf is going on
