The combine weren't at earth until after Hl1. And hl1 is according to the Saga timeline taking place in 2000.
It's said for sake of simplicity, and even the Saga timeline assumes Combine being in 1999, a year before HL and even stated "many years before HL", so they even could have been on Earth as early as 1 AD. 
And for 2000, I've read that originally it was 2003 but changed to '200-" (any year between 2000 and 2009). But 2003 is still used somewhat, so I assume it's 2003.
Just bumping old thread here,

Yes, they were in 1999, probably many years before that, but they weren't at earth, because they had no way of coming here, before Black Mesa (G-Man) opened the portal to Xen.
YAY!! THIS THREAD IS ALIVE!!
I had a version at mAL already.

Aperture Science portal project failure, anyone?
EDIT: This forum (and phpBB3 in general) is one big failure. Non-underlined links... Manual deletion of too many quotes... Attachments going fail...
It's funny how your theory has nothing to do with G-Man at all, when clearly in the Half-Life series, G-Man is the man who is causing... Well... Every single thing.
EDIT: Note: This thread needs to be kept up or the forum won't see Portal 2 released.
What theory?
Maybe there's no G-Man in the Aperture Science Golden Age (that's how I call the first half of the 31st century), but he's really an influent figure from Prelude to Episode Three.
What relation do you think the Gman will have to the player in portal 2?
EDIT: Do I need to put this note in every post of this thread?

Will he still be alive? No. Period. Changing the subject.

No more advertising of the mod that is hated here.

You're only posting that because
The Portal 2 storyline was alright,
But at the Episode Three storyline
Look at the full sentence:
If you want to build your own Portal 2/Episode Three speculated storyline, I welcome it. But just giving a "duh" emotion doesn't really help this thread much.
It's a speculation, after all.
EDIT: Okay, that wasn't keeping this thread (and TWP too) up, so now I'll do something that is keeping this thread up. And that is changing the subject: 
Given Portal and Portal 2's awesomeness, will there be something like Portal 2: Episode One? And what it will be?
