Half Life 2 Episode 3 Discussion - Games

I want only one thing in Half-Life 2: Episode 3's ending: If the G-Man is going to put Gordon in statis again, he must put Alyx in statis as well. I mean, I might be in the minority, but Alyx has become one of Half-Life crucial charactes by now, and her bond with Gordon is so strong that he can't lose her now. Besides, G-Man obivously thinks highly of Alyx to a point (given the Episode 2 "heart to heart"), so it isn't all that imerspercievable. Personally, any future Half-Life titles without her sound like they'll be missing something.

While she is a maror plot character at some point she's overall a very minor character in the entire HL universe. Gordon has been the only major character for me.

There will never be a 3 on there. Valve never do 3s.

Clearly there will never be a Half-Life 3. Instead, we shall get Half-Life 2... 2.

Half-Life 2: Episode 2: Aftermath

[QUOTE=Gabe Newell;30564081]No they didn't. [b]Stop pulling this out of your ass.[/b] Episode 3 will be the the last episode of the C17 arc. Half Life 1-Black Mesa Arc HL2 and Episodes-C17 (and white forest/arctic) Arc HL3-A new place, new enemies, some recurring characters[/QUOTE] I don't think Episode 3 is going to have much City 17 involvement (Besides dialouge or pictures or shit) because it was pretty much fucking owned by the citadel explosion, even though the outer edges of the city are still intact so... I still want to play as gordon in HL3, but I kinda want to go to the United States, the Combine would obviously be using things other than the Damn MP7's all the time (M4, M16, MP5, P90?) and probably US military tech. Not saying they wouldn't be using their Helicopters, Striders, APCs, etc. even though most of that sucks fucking ass (1 fucking rocket from an Anti-Tank (AT-4) rocket launcher can destroy their helicopters, or launching bombs at it.) Hell, some Xen creature can just hit their APCs until it explodes. [editline]21st June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Aurora93;30587813]holy fuck you are misled as hell OF2 is an unofficial sequel mod, they didn't ASK valve anything[/QUOTE] Opposing Force isn't a Valve trademark anyway, Gearbox owns it.

I can see a HL game set years later and adapted with Doug's idea of a war between two sides of the resistance (who have been in peace for a long time)

Half-Life 1+2

I did like how HL2 Beta was supposed to be in America. Maybe that for HL3/HL4?

[QUOTE=sa2fan;30610277]I did like how HL2 Beta was supposed to be in America. Maybe that for HL3/HL4?[/QUOTE] it wasn't

I wait, not beta, I meant alpha.

[QUOTE=sa2fan;30610661]I wait, not beta, I meant alpha.[/QUOTE] still nope

[QUOTE=Gabe Newell;30610776]still nope[/QUOTE] Listen to Gabe, he owns Valve, he would know.

The origins of this piece of concept art found in Raising the Bar might have a different opinion. [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090113000552/half-life/en/images/9/97/City_17_buildings_and_inner_wall.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=SFC3;30609851]I can see a HL game set years later and adapted with Doug's idea of a war between two sides of the resistance (who have been in peace for a long time)[/QUOTE] That almost sounds like that one Source mod where post-Combine, mankind only has each other to turn against. I can not remember the name, but I think what may be the difference for that mod, since what the Combine did, people were no fond of high tech anymore. As for Raising the Bar. That concept art, looks dark, and could of been a dark totalitarian City 17 instead of what was final. When you first arrive to C17, it looks like it could be anywhere, they used bright dandelion yellow textures for some buildings, the sun is bright enough that street lights to be off. That concept art the buildings are almost one color. They could of had clouds over C17 when you arrived instead, but maybe they felt they wanted Ravenholm to stand out in the darkness more, IDK. Even in the E3 demo, the old squared train station courtyard with the US Post office drop box does not look grim like that. Also omitting the idea where the Combine had taken children to build Combine Cremators seems to not make HL2 as dark for some reason.
