[QUOTE=DuCT;28609321]I can't be the only one who fully believes that Portal 2 will open up some sort of segue into Episode 3, can I?[/QUOTE] well, no. Because Portal 2 takes place AGES after Half-life. (200 years?)
[QUOTE=Sled Dog;28610224]well, no. Because Portal 2 takes place AGES after Half-life. (200 years?)[/QUOTE] The Combine have slow teleportation, who says that Aperture didn't royally fuck up with the Borealis and create a teleportation method so slow that it goes backwards? Or something like that. I still believe that Portal 2 will give at least SOME info on Episode 3.
Uh maybe heh
They said the Borealis dissapeared with part of the drydock. What if, in Portal 2, you find the remains of the other part?
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;15491839]I wanna see Alyx beat a Combine Soldier to death. Something like this: So You, Alyx, and some Rebel are in a small underground closet type room with a vent leading to the outside on the ceiling near the door. On the side opposite of the door there will be an objective of somesort (such as picking something up or pressing a button). However immediately after you do that a Combine Soldier rappels in and shoots a stack of boxes, causing them to fall on you and leave you helplessly pinned. He then takes Alyx's gun and EMP device and shoves her down. Then he stands near the door and alerts nearby soldiers of the Prisoners. However as he's doing this the Rebel tries to move the Boxes off you, and the Soldier shoots him down, wounding him. But while he's distracted by the Rebel, Alyx charges in and grabs for his gun, after a little tug of war the ammo container breaks off. He tries to use the gun as a bat but Alyx dodges, then hits him in the face with the metal magazine causing him to drop the gun and denting his mask. He punches Alyx in the face and knocks her back a bit. Then he grabs a Pistol and aims, but Alyx grabs it and points it in the air before he can fire. So after firing all 18 rounds into the roof he begins to pull it away from her. She lets go and he stumbles backward into the wall. But then he throws the Pistol at her hitting her in the arm. Then he pushes her away and tries to reassemble his damaged AR2. But as he's doing that the Rebel stands up and attacks him while Alyx goes to borrow your crowbar. The Rebel is punched in the face and falls back, but Alyx hits him in the head with the crowbar. Now while he's stunned Alyx uses the crowbar to pry off his facemask, and after relieving the Combine Soldier's true face, shoves the crowbar into his forehead. He slowly drops to his knees, then to his side. Dead. Then after Alyx helps you up, you go retrieve the crowbar from his face (causing blood to squirt out when you pick it up). The crowbar remains bloodstained for the rest of the game.[/QUOTE] 1. real face has to be horribly deformed, something like mr. longjaw from amnesia. 2. turn this into 5 minutes and bill it as a leaked trailer
[QUOTE=Sled Dog;28610224]well, no. Because Portal 2 takes place AGES after Half-life. (200 years?)[/QUOTE] What DuCT said, IF Portal 2 takes place after the next HL anyway, then wouldn't it be assumed they would tell you how the events involving the Combine resolved? And I hate to mention this picture again: [media]http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9205/e23fawhalflife3.png[/media] but with that anger, to me it would make more sense if she beat the stuffing out of these buggers to death, which I personally still think Advisors are just Advisors to a bigger Combine breed. I mean, you know what to expect when you beat what used to be a human to death, but what about one of these guys?
[QUOTE=npx190;28612128]To me it would make more sense if she beat the stuffing out of these buggers to death.[/QUOTE] Well, considering [sp]one of them killed her father[/sp], she has reason to be angry at them, but it also could serve that purpose.
Well, judging off the Portal 2 achievements, the Borealis will be shown in Portal 2. So that will give us some insight.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;28576496]Maybe Portal 2 will come with a EP3 trailer. Maybe... *sniff* maybe.[/QUOTE] Dota2 coverage will begin after portal2. You can expect hl2ep3 info after dota2. And no optimistic shit, this would make a lot of sense.
You will be fighting an advisor in episode 3; the code and animations for the advisor using telekinesis were found in episode 2 and used. Butthurter, you know what I'm talking about, try to find that video
[QUOTE=Butthurter;28625875]i watched it 50 times a day, its just so beautiful[/QUOTE] man, I would like to see that video...! would you give us a link?
[QUOTE=Butthurter;28626130][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL655A9EtxI[/media][/QUOTE] Cool! Thanks!
[QUOTE=Butthurter;28626130]with that attitude, no [editline]16th March 2011[/editline] nah im just horseshitting [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL655A9EtxI[/media] [editline]16th March 2011[/editline] the codes for the telekinesis were heavily modded to work properly for this clip[/QUOTE] That looks so cool. I wonder what protects you from their telekinesis though? G-man?

I had a dream today. I was walking, then I saw a billboard that kinda looked like this, except I forgot the date: [img]http://imgf.tw/678073280.png[/img] I took a picture and posted it on Facepunch, my post was the photo and this text: "OH MY GOD, IT'S REAL" Then somebody posted this on Reddit and then I woke up :frown:

Chell could somehow send a message back to the Borealis at the time of HL1, which says what is going to happen soon (black mesa incident) so they try to escape to the future. They must have been in a hurry or desperate because part of the drydock disapears along with the ship, and there are some crates which are only half-loaded onto the Borealis. It could go wrong, and all crew are killed but the ship disapears for a few years like the slow teleport, and ends up at a differant Aperture facility (the walls in EP2 are the same)

I don't think that the game will be called Hl2:episode 3. VALVe themselves stated that those titles will no longer work, so they say it will be simply called: Half-Life 3.

People familiar to the story would know what it is, and people from the outside would be curious.
if your wondering why the Borealis is in Portal 2, Don't you remember its ALSO a time machine?
[QUOTE=MacD11;28660969]if your wondering why the Borealis is in Portal 2, Don't you remember its ALSO a time machine?[/QUOTE] I don't remember this.
I want Griggs and Sheckley to come back as companions. You'd have three companions instead of just Alyx, a regular posse!
Well Mass Effect and Fallout NV had trios, there are other older titles too, so why not for HL? To achieve the instead, maybe you could have Alyx attempt to jump on an enemy, but the enemy dodges her, and she falls off the ice and meets her demise or something? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4f--V-KqjE[/media] (warning: do not take audio or video seriously) Seriously I mean if anything, Barney was MIA to the gamer's perspective in Episode Two, so I guess if you do the math of companionship versus game, it could be assumed he makes a companion comeback instead of Alyx, since she is now so emotionally compromised that she can't focus?
I'm disgusted that anyone is looking forward to another game that sends the Half-Life series further into the gutter. But considering the vomit-worthy tastes of you filthy sacks of shit i guess i shouldn't be surprised. Each and every one of you sicken me. Alyx Vance destroyed the Half-Life series. She is an insult to minorities and women and the fact that she is held as an example of a good or even decent character is sickening and speaks volumes about her appeal to fat white nerds (read:YOU) who need a women to cling to in order to forget their depressing lives. Thanks to her Valve killed dark sci-fi and replaced it with some let's-give-nerds-a-boner/virtual-friend bullshit that YOU are responsible for supporting. It is proof to me that whites are inherently racist trash. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Flaming / Trolling / Why Reply?" - Asaratha))[/highlight]
