Plus lots of things suggest that you wear a helmet in HL2, like as said before, the headcrabs unable to hump your head, having a HUD, or even the fact that you can see clearly under water.įor other games like Portal where you are able to zoom I just think that in usual Valve fashion they just didn't bother to remove it or they saw it was necessary for the game play close to the end and didn't bother explaining it.

In HL2 you don't even have a proper model in tps, you just have a place holder model of the Gordon Freeman in HL1 but looped in idle animation and with the wrong texture. Remember goldSource is a big plate of spaghetti at this point, you can't really tell if it wont break something else. You could still say that why wasn't the model, the one of the scientist with the full suit, the main model, I think it might be a problem consistency for the model's reference in code, it could mess things up if it was another model. You have to not think of this like 'the third person view has him not wearing a helmet' this is not how it works, as said before here the tps model isn't canon, he doesn't have a helmet only because it was likely added for the multiplayer after release.
