I wonder what the Combine fleet looks like (if they have one). For some reason, I always imagined a Combine ship to look like this: [media]http://www.startrekmovie.com/downloads/images/d51_1024.jpg[/media]
Who knows, JJ Abrahms and Gabe Newell were friends, back in the LOST days, unless Gabe got aggravated how in Abrahm's FOX show Fringe had those mysterious guys in the hats use the "prepare for unforeseen consequences" line just like Gman, as if their behavior of bending time and space is not enough, not to mention the real Eli Vance was on that show after getting killed of in HL2: Episode Two. I think a new Combine ship should be obvious.

[QUOTE=npx190;28322823]I think a new Combine ship should be obvious.[/QUOTE] Are you fucking stupid? Why would such a thing be obvious, when we don't even know for sure if the Combine HAVE space-faring capabilities?
[quote=SuperDuperScoot]Wait, how many Half Life references were made in Fringe so far? I need to start watching that again... [/quote] Valve and JJ Abrams are constantly referencing eachother's work, Fringe has fuckton of Half-Life references.

I want Father Grigori to help you out somehow by setting traps or something. Would be damn awesome. And Odessa Cubbage at the Borealis helping you out with a squad of rebels. But seriously, they need to bring back those characters, they could have had brief appearances in the story line, but it'd be great to expand them even further.
My theory on the reason the game is taking so long is because they're remaking all the entities. So they look more updated. Heh a man can dream.
If Episode 3 isn't on some sort of new engine I will be pissed for waiting this long.
[QUOTE=wait, what?;28332574]If Episode 3 isn't on some sort of new engine I will be pissed for waiting this long.[/QUOTE] It will most likely be on a new build of source. Source 2014 anyone?
I hope we see more of the technological capabilities of the Combine in Episode 3. A trip to the Combine Overworld would be much appreciated, or at least some other dimensions. I wonder how big the Combine Empire actually is...

Shit, I dreamt today that somewhere between now and march 3rd, there will be some kind of beta for a new feature in hammer I belive. Anyways, there will be a test map, and in it there will be an easter egg with hidden text that says something about Alyx and Gordon being captured and that there will be more information March 4th.
Don't worry guys, HL3 gonna be on next gameinformer cover ;)
[QUOTE=Butthurter;28341172]holy fucking hell in a 10 year olds piss filled boot son, that is the single dumbest thing i have ever seen[/QUOTE] I had a blood vessel rupture in my right frontal lobe.
Most people want an explanation to the G-Man in Episode 3, but I disagree. Explaining the G-Man in Episode 3 would ruin his mysterious character. Come on, the main reason why we love him so much is because he's so god damn mysterious. He walks around in his blue suit, straightening his tie while zombies are raping rebel's skulls, and he appears out of nowhere holding a speech to you... His intentions are unknown, and whether he's an ally or enemy is beyond the player. Sure, a bit more clarification would be nice, but let's not give away the entire character.
[QUOTE=FrankWell;28328372]Valve and JJ Abrams are constantly referencing eachother's work, Fringe has fuckton of Half-Life references.[/QUOTE] That's it, I'm gonna start watching that show again. Part of me once thought "lol what would happen if Fringe turned into a show about Half-Life DERPDERP" Would be awesome, but I doubt it would happen.
[QUOTE=MacD11;28332719]It will most likely be on a new build of source. Source 2014 anyone?[/QUOTE] More like Source 2020 unfortunately.
Personally I'd like to see more Overwatch. I love fighting combine soldiers and I hope for them to be revamped and made more powerful in the next game.
[QUOTE=wait, what?;28332574]If Episode 3 isn't on some sort of new engine I will be pissed for waiting this long.[/QUOTE] I think they've been waiting for Portal 2 to announce it for some reason. Probably some relation to the Borealis. So what you find out about it from the two games are in the order they want you to find out about it.
They won't announce anything before portal 2 is out effectively. They want Portal 2 to sell well, not being pushed in the shadow by a EP3 Announcement.
I realy cant see how the announcement of Ep3 will push Portal 2 in shadow -_-
Sooooo who thinks we'll finally get to see EP3 at E3 this year?
Anybody excepts a EP3 hint each time HL2 / EP2 updates like me ?
[QUOTE=OrYgin;28389605]Anybody excepts a EP3 hint each time HL2 / EP2 updates like me ?[/QUOTE] I get filled with hope and joy, only to be disappointed.
I forgot, is there two E3's a year though?
[QUOTE=Black-Ice;28389930]I forgot, is there two E3's a year though?[/QUOTE] No, just one E3, however it's worth keeping an eye on other gaming events such as: GamesCom GDC EuroGamer Expo PAX Tokyo Game Show
[QUOTE=MacD11;28332719]It will most likely be on a new build of source. Source 2014 anyone?[/QUOTE] I'd be most pleased if they announced a "New Source" game engine, but I don't think it will deliver along side with the episode 3. But most definitely in Half-life 3! It is tricky though, given how long it has already taken for Episode 3, people are expecting a lot more from it than what the Episodes 1 and 2 were. I don't, though. [b]Edit[/b] I have a itchy feeling in my ass though that they are just gonna stick with Source and update it on and on. If so, they better work on a major update for the Source, for the future of their games. One can dream..
