Throughout the many iterations of VideoGame/HalfLife1 universe you've been walking in the shoes of Gordon Freeman, Adrian Shepard, Barney Calhoun as well as many other human characters. And what have you been doing the whole time? [[YouBastard You've been killing all those poor Xen aliens!!]]
Have you ever thought about ''their'' [[TitleDrop Point of View]]?

!! Point of View contains examples of:
* FaceHeelTurn: Xonxt himself at one point decides to simply ditch working for his boss Nihilanth.
* LivingWeapon: All of Xonxt's weapons are Xen lifeforms, including himself or rather his own hands.
* StandardFPSGuns: ''Averted'' or rather ''inverted''. All of the ''weapons'' Xonxt is using are Xen lifeforms. The reasoning behind his inability to use human firearms is that ''they kick too hard''. This still doesn't explain why can't he use melee weapons. He is capable of using stationary/mounted guns however.
