I just want a (somewhat) [B]shitfucking huge and varied[/B] arsenal of weapons, like in Half Life 1. Basically I'm expecting much more content compared to HL2 and it's Episodes, since the original "Gravity Gun boom" from 2004 is long over. I couldn't care less about weird-looking/consolized menus, as long as the game is functional and fun I'll play it.

Yay for snarks in mp!
I'd like to see the Gluon gun make a comeback.
[QUOTE=kimr120;32817751]It would be fun with some old creature weapons such as the Spore launcher from Opposing Force and the Snarks from HL1.[/QUOTE] Snarks not so much, since it is unlikely that they could survive for any extended period of time on earth. The Spore launcher would be a no since it's a Race X 'weapon' and valve constantly avoid confirming anything in the gearbox games.
I doubt they'll ever even consider it, but I'd actually like to see the OICW make it in.
Hey, well I would 2nd that. I would also second guess they did in fact do something to answer what used to be that gravity gun boom. Why wouldn't they?
[QUOTE=1STrandomman;32823423]I doubt they'll ever even consider it, but I'd actually like to see the OICW make it in.[/QUOTE] If we went the path of Beta weaponry, I also wouldn't mind seeing either the Immolator or the Combine Guard Gun.
Immolator would make sense because if it takes place in the arctic you're gonna need to defrost at least one object, and it would be a lot more practical solution than making long, boring puzzles.

Or along the coast where the soldiers have burned some corpses? Maybe the cremator had a finger in that business...he just went in the back of the ATP.

Me wants immolator for fire traps! Make wall of fire!
Weren't there talks/rumors of there being a flamethrower of sorts?
[QUOTE=zryii;32832322]Weren't there talks/rumors of there being a flamethrower of sorts?[/QUOTE]There was a weapon_flamethrower (listed as being in "ep3") in the DotA 2 file logs.

I used to get so mad when people called it Half Life 3 instead of Episode 3, but now I just don't really care.
[QUOTE=zryii;32832322]Weren't there talks/rumors of there being a flamethrower of sorts?[/QUOTE] I'm thinking they could do something "Next-Gen" with a flamethrower. Like realistic ice melting to solve puzzles. It'd be a reason for being in development so long.
[QUOTE=4yourmalice;32857821]I'm thinking they could do something "Next-Gen" with a flamethrower. Like realistic ice melting to solve puzzles. It'd be a reason for being in development so long.[/QUOTE] They could just as easily fake it with dynamic models like in Bioshock.
Ep 3 better be the most polished game in history. because they sure have had alot of time to polish it. I mean just thinking about it is so weird. Throughout these past 4 years, Valve has somehow managed to keep EP3 completely out of the media. No pics, no videos. Only 2 concept art pics. And whenever asked about it, they shun the interviewer. Only Valve could ever pull this off.
Yeah..........it pisses me off.
They should never have added Gordon to Renegade Ops, it was supposed to come out on the 14th, then today, now just "October, 2011". It's like just having him in the game makes infinite delays happen.
Gordon and Alyx should get down to it. Now make episode 4.
Remember a PC gamer article from mid 09 with speculation about Ep3 being released around Christmas that year. Nothing ever came under the tree. :(
I got socks
I hope they come with a BIG FUCKING SUPRISE including EPISODE 3 next year! They had lot of time!
[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;32861707]I got socks[/QUOTE] That socks.
[QUOTE=smug.gif;32833031]Cremators dissolve corpses, not burn them. There would be nothing left.[/QUOTE] But they immolator had a flame thrower.
Episode 3 socks! \:v:/
