Half-Life story structure headcanon

I feel like Half-Life can be split up into three distinct acts with an epilogue and a prologue.

The prologue is "Black Mesa Inbound", and "Anomalous Materials"

Act 1 is from "Unforeseen Consequences" to the end of "Apprehension"

Act 2 is from "Residue Processing" to the end of "Forget About Freeman!"

Act 3 is from "Lambda Core" to "Nihilanth"

The epilogue is "Endgame" or the G-Man speech

I feel like this because each of the sections feels pretty distinct from the other

The prologue is like the calm before the storm before the resonance cascade occurs and the campaign "really" begins

Act 1 is the initial Xen invasion with vortigaunts and headcrabs, and also the initial HECU takeover of Black Mesa, it ends when Gordon is ambushed by the Marines and knocked out

Act 2 is distinct because it's when the Black Mesa Incident really goes to hell, with gargantuas and alien grunts running around the surface, the HECU begins to lose control of Black Mesa and eventually ends with them abandoning the whole facility. Act 2 ends for Gordon when he goes underground for the final time after escaping the gargantua from the car park

Act 3 is separate from the HECU-heavy act 2 as it recenters the antagonistic role from the military back to the aliens, It also brings the science team back into a central role in the story and builds up Xen as the Gordon's final destination

The epilogue is self-explanatory as it's completely separate from the rest of the story with the surreal G-Man speech

This post feels really long so im going to end it here, byyyeeeee
