The [sp]Sheckley and Griggs[/sp] part would make an excellent multiplayer survival map. Someone should port it to Alien Swarm (if that game is still alive).
[QUOTE=glitchvid;34002901]Nah, not only does it take 9 months before you even get a baby, I doubt any / much time will have (canonically) passed between the 2 games, not to mention it gets real hard to market a game / get decent ratings when kids are in games with this genre. Cool idea for future VALVe games though. And yeah, Original Half Life 2 had children; which perfectly darkened the story-line.

Dat ass, perhaps? Or an escape hatch to freedom?
We won't be seeing kids or babies unless several months / years have passed since Episode 2. Doesn't all of Half-Life 2 through Episode 2 take place over just a few days / a week? Kids don't get made / age that fast guys :v: Also I'm fine with no kids as they're just fucking annoying (in video games / movies). They can't act either.
The scariest bit of Half Life 2 was when that vortigaunt pops his head over the ladder, I shat bricks! [url]http://youtu.be/NT_RAvO4a8Y?t=1m26s[/url]
The coal is gonna power up the Borealis. Just watch.

[url]http://youtu.be/NT_RAvO4a8Y?t=1m26s[/url][/QUOTE] That honestly scared me more than any other part in Episode 2. Even as I was climbing up the ladder I knew that something would pop out as soon as I got to the top, and even still I freaked out.

New Year seems to have brought back sense into this thread. Finally a point in going here.
[QUOTE=psikobare;34007443]gabe: "you choose: free games, or HL3 gets released sooner" EVIL!![/QUOTE] That'd be fucking pain.
I want them to get SUPER dark in this one, like no hope let on Earth dark. I always have wished these games were darker, can you imagine what Ravenholme would've been like if they had the video technology today when they made it? Fucking brilliant. (Don't get me wrong, Ravenholme was fucking creepy when I first played it)
I love playing the HL2 beta tbh, I love playing any beta that was leaked and I wish developers would give alpha and beta builds publicly, it's so interesting watching them evolve into final copies.
[QUOTE=ewitwins;34008243]I want them to get SUPER dark in this one, like no hope let on Earth dark.[/QUOTE] But wouldn't there be more hope this episode/game? Since they just fucked up the combine's portal so they can't send anymore troops.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;34008261]I love playing the HL2 beta tbh, I love playing any beta that was leaked and I wish developers would give alpha and beta builds publicly, it's so interesting watching them evolve into final copies.[/QUOTE] You think someone would've (and probably have tried) tried to get into the system and look around for stuff relating to the game, or even the alpha or beta. Not saying I want them to :v: [SP]HINT[/SP]

I don't want people to leak a hl3 beta because it could potentially ruin the game for me if I haven't played the final first.

Well at least we've been harassing them so much lately that they have to start being blunt about things.

Perhaps if we stop bragging about it to valve, they'll release something? It'll be hard telling that to SPUF though
If there was some way to make the ENTIRE community completely silent for one year, and NOONE sent in a single email, I wonder what would happen? Let's just tell Valve that we already made Half Life 3 on our own, and we don't need them to anymore. AND they don't get to play it :v:

Since they just fucked up the combine's portal so they can't send anymore troops.[/QUOTE] Your forgetting the advisors, those things are pretty creepy. but I would like an overall darker story; E.G. You arrive in a rebel (or scientist / refugee) colony, you hope to find some resource, or warmth, shelter, anything; but when you get there all the doors are locked to the few buildings, you and alyx find a way to force open a door, you find (somehow, writing on the wall? notes? Alyx just says it?) that they all ran our of resources, and slowly had to turn to cannibalism, when people were not staying still trying to preserve energy, they where fighting over who got to gorge on their neighbors. Creepy shit like that.

Creepy shit like that.[/QUOTE] Along with a Skeleton holding a slightly smaller skeleton and a handgun, surrounded by other skeletons all pointing toward the first skeletons, followed by a pile of spent cartridges and a headless skeleton with a shotgun by its side. All of that would just depressify the entire scene.
Imagine What would happen if Valve extended the ending of EP2 and then announced the new Half-Life shortly after? Oh man I can already imagine what would happen to the community, steam goes down, then spuf goes down, this thread reaches hyperspeed and facepunch goes down as well, after that every other forum that had HL discussion threads goes down and there's nowhere left to discuss about Half-Life. I'm sure that's impossible though, but I would laugh so hard if something like that happened.
Guys what if like what if they just decide they don't care anymore and update ep2's ending and an advisor comes back and beats up d0g and kills both gordon and alyx [editline]2nd January 2012[/editline] I had a much more morbid and complete thought. What if one day Gabe Newell ends up in the hospital, perhaps relating to his admittedly overweight physique. There's no telling if he'll get better, and his hospital stay could go on for weeks. Through this Steam has an event that in some way ties to the release of Episode 3, perhaps something that also helps to support Gabe in the hospital through moral help, and if we reach the goal we get the announcement of Episode 3, and a better chance at Gabe's recovery (because he'll be happy at all the support), and if we fail then I dunno, we don't fail that's what. (And just so he knows we aren't just doing it for Episode 3, it isn't told whether its for Episode 3 until we succeed)
[QUOTE=Clementine;34010617]Guys what if like what if they just decide [B]they don't care anymore[/B] [/QUOTE] Valve does care and it is in development, so there is your point completely voided.

Suppression field has only been down for 4 days tops, plus we have no real idea how it inhibits the development of key enzymes in creating a foetus. It may take a couple weeks for the body to get back into shape. Though Kliener does urge them to procreate as soon as possible.

alyx is pregnant of freeman, with the help of the vortigaunts
