SPOILER



















I think it just means your mission is over and you are no longer needed. It was meant to give you a sense of nonclosure i suppose since technically you are hired to do your contract and not be attached to the mission.

how can we talk about the ending without spoiling anything? the story's vague enough as it is

Ditto. Most people that don't understand the ending or the story for that matter haven't played HL1. It's a sequel, just like a movie sequel. You can't go to T2 and say, "Robots wha? John Conner who? That doesn't make sense."

I thought the ending made perfect sense.

I just beat the game myself; 30 minutes ago, and I have no idea what the ending meant either. Cool way to end though. Than again, last time I beat HL1 was..................3 years ago....

I just finished it, and I thought the ending sucked (regardless of whether or not it fit into the storyline of how the first ended).
