[QUOTE="voodoothe2nd"][QUOTE="Hot_Potato"]No one has answered his question except for me. He asked what the relevance of Half Life was to the name of the game, not what a half life is. As I said, they were sitting around a conference thinking of names, Half Life was thrown out, it sounded cool,they chose it. They acknowledged that there's no relevance. It was in a magazine before Half Life 2 came out some years ago.Buffalo_Soulja
Good point, sorry. But Opposing Fronts and Blue Shift do have a little relevance to the game content, eh?
Yup. Of all of them Opposing Force probably has the most relevance. Opposing Force is the equal but opposite reaction to any initial force, as stated in Newton's Third Law of Motion. In the context of the game, the Opposing Force is the HECU; the government reaction to the initial force that is the resonance cascade in Black Mesa.
Blue Shift is more a pun. Blue Shift is a phenomenon of Astronomy whereby the visible wavelengths shift towards blue in objects moving towards from the observer. Blue is obviously the colour of the Security Guard Uniforms, and Shift implying it is their time to do something.
Ya, Ithink yo play as one ofthe guards in that version.
