I saw him:

-On the Vortigon's TV in the trailer in City 17...the Vort then turns and says, "We both serve the same mystery"

-Beginning of Water Hazard at the Red Barn

-End of Water Hazard, standing on the dam before you jump through

-Talking to Col. Odessa at NLO if you look through the fixed Combine binoculars

-Security camera in Nova Prospekt

I've seen him about 6 six times on monitors and in some of the ss that have been posted. One that I should post is in Ravenholm he's on top of a building with bodies hanging, I'll see if I can find it.

I have another sighting but I don't know how to upload/attach the screen grab.

Near the end of the wind-propelled-boat bit just before you jump over the high dam. After you've shot down the helicopter that drops mountains of mines on you then open the gate, there's the building with a heath and a suit machine on the wall inside. After you've finished in there and go back out and round the corner, he's there in the middle-distance and walks off as you get remotely close.

I have a screen grab but don't know how to send it.

it must be him, standing in the window, you can se him walkin back and forth, but he only does it every 10 minutes or so...

Good find. I was always too eager to play to wait long enough to see that. I'll post it right away.

Aha! Thankyou PrayForDeath.

As I said, these are just before you jump over the huge dam near the end of the wind-boat section.

The G-Man is your employer of sorts. Thats all you know about him. Hell, for all we know he could be your sub-concious. The reason sightings of him are important is because Valve did the same thing in HL1 by putting the G-Man always 1 step ahead of you in the game and often not really caring about what is around him.

Does anyone know more about the gman than this?
 

I finally beat HL2 and it seems that the gman is your boss/employer and your are like his contract killer employee. But what does the g in gman stand for, gordon, does anyone have any ideas?

Hey I disabled the AI and then walked up to the G-man when he appears right outside the red barn at the beginning of the water hazard level. Here's my image:

gman

When I was up beside him I then re-enabled the AI and he just stood there and watched me and blinked his eyes. I couldnt do anything to him though, he was just like a friendly.
