We posted a thread on our social media accounts about our Xen findings in the recently released Net Test 1 build. There's new information about how the Nihilanth battle was before it was replaced with the final version.
So, I have a theory about everything that G-man does in the half-life series, and that is that it's all actually part of his plan to employ Alyx in half-life Alyx let me explain. So, when he gives the crystal to the black mesa scientists which starts the resonance cascade, he does it as a sort of "contest." in order to see who is competent enough to protect Alyx during the events of half-life 2 which is why he spies on characters like Gordon and Corporal Shepard.

He does this so that the chain of events can be set up so that Eli will die at the end of episode 2 which he can use as his bargaining point for Alyx. But before that can happe…

Do y'all think Eli knows Father Gregori is just chilling in Ravenholm or is he like some urban legend to Black Mesa East? Also, Eli and Gregori like HAD to have met at least once. A religious leader and a Resistance leader who's places are operation were basically one? They just had to have met before.
according to chatgpt, the best half life 2 quote is "Ive got a rocket in my pocket." -The Vortigaunts
Theory: Alien Controllers are juvenile members of the Nihilanth's species. They look very similar: the clawed hands, the third arm, the large head, and the telepathic and electrical abilities.

Fun fact: in 2014 Valve released official Civilian Jacket, that means that canonically all civilians are dripped out. Combine occupation isnt so bad after all.
