[QUOTE=Dierag;32906361]I think it would be interesting if for one level gordan was h.e.v suitless for one reason or another.[/QUOTE]
I could see how a "depowered level" could make for interesting changes in pacing and gameplay, but I think you could reach the same effect by spawning less medpacks and suit power batteries, this way the suit's benefits would go down the drain in a similar way and the gameplay would also change.
The added benefit of this technique is its modularity. You could use it at any time without big explanation needed, and you could even align it dynamically to player behavior. Shake up that FPS veteran that is doing so well it's not even exciting anymore by analyzing his recent playstats (accuracy, surplus of supplies, damage taken VS dealt, etc).
I personally wonder if they, story-wise, continue with the "Hero for Hire"-twist that Breen, the G-Man and pretty much all resistance members through their reactions towards Gordon (or lack thereof) hinted at. Breen's "and his one has proven to be a fine pawn for those who control him" almost sounds too similar to BioShock's twist that isn't forgotten easily.

Oh god I just jizzed.
pretty sad when you realize that's the closest we've got to episode 3 for what... 4? 5? years now?
come on Valve, losing hope here...

When Portal 2 was about to be released I was sure they where going to release Episode 3/HL3 with it, like some sort of shock/surprise for us. They didn't :( All we got was an empty Borealis dry dock
Why should they? Also, games need a 6 month marketing campaign. Valve wouldn't forget doing that.

I think doing that would make it ridiculously famous
ugh. they should just make the game!! the engine is good enough (mostly) all they need is new models and maps!
(wouldnt mind physics based mellee mechanics and ai driven animation)

Holy shit they totally aren't!
[QUOTE=ksenior;32921297]I think doing that would make it ridiculously famous[/QUOTE]
While it may sound like a great idea that will make everyone love Valve once again, it's not a plan that's going to create ANY new fans at all. Things are different these days, Valve aren't a little Seattle based independent developer any more and they need to make the Half Life franchise big again for the newest generations of gamers.

That's to simulate our empty hopes and dreams for HL3 :v:
I hope the actually put the slam in the single player for epsiode 3/hl3

[QUOTE=AltFanatic;32932047]trespasser?[/QUOTE]
Man those controls were awkward. Was cool to see something new though.
fun ghame though
So is valve just going directly to Half Life 3 since they obviously didn't follow their episodic releases?

Funny and somewhat relevant to EP3 (HL3) ((Skip to 1:03))

LOOKS LEGIT!
Y'know, I remember how Gordon got a rudimentary squad control system in the original Half-Life 2, as well as the Bugbaits that gave him tactical C&C over biotics.
When Episode 3 comes along, I hope they have an updated squad control system for both the rebel troops and later the Antlions (maybe his suit gets an upgrade based around pheropods?) if they can survive in the Arctic. Maybe it could work similar to the Ping tool from Portal 2 Coop?
And on the subject of the suit, would having the suit being "upgradeable" be a good mechanic or would it deviate too far from the Half-Life gameplay we used to know?
