I've done HL1 back in the day, and my question is thus:
Where and what was Gordon doing inbetween the end of HL1 and the beginning of HL2?
I can't find this explained anywhere, and background story info seems rather sparse.
Cheers.

Ooh, nice.
When the Black Mesa accident began, portals started to open (as you well know). The portals started opening in the Black Mesa facility, and then carried on moving outwards. When the facility was destroyed (and Gordon was put into stasis), it didn't actually stop, and eventually the whole of Earth exprienced the portals.
Also, the combine, just appeared. Apparently, massive holes would appear, where the citadels would appear. Out of the citadels, floods of combine soldiers would appear.
That's all I know at the moment.
At the end of Hald Life, The G-Man gave him the option to either die or work for him. Obviously, the sequel is assuming that you choose the latter option.
The G-Man put Gordon in stasis until he needed him again.
