[QUOTE=Black-Ice;30940993]Valve should utilize trains in HL3.
I mean, they totally haven't used enough trains already (albeit EP1's beginning having no train entry, THEY HAVE TO MAKE UP FOR IT :argh:)[/QUOTE]
Think of it this way.
HL1: You start out in a train. Gman has full control over your destiny from the beginning. Ends on a train (Gman still has control)
HL2: You start out in a train. Gman still has full control. Ended on a train. Gman still has control.
EP1: You [b]don't[/b] start out in a train. Gman did NOT want you to wake back up, and thus, has no control for the beginning. Ends on a train. Gman has control, but not for long.
EP2: You start out on a crashed train. The gman and vortigaunt race are fighting for your destiny. Does not end on a train. Gman is either in no control now, or is not pleased.
HL2 didn't end on a train

I'm kinda interested in this train stuff.
[QUOTE=wombo;30946928]HL2 didn't end on a train[/QUOTE]
It ended in the same Screen Saver that was seen through the windows of the train in HL1, so there.
eli died because of two reasons:
eli was going to tell him of gman himself
gman was not pleased in the fact that the vorts messed with freeman's destiny (also why it doesn't end on a train)

Couldn't it have been coincidence that he died? I mean, Gman took all that effort to give him a message, it seems stupid to kill him before he can act on it.
EP3 starts with Combine Train flying in the Hangar, and you overtake it a manage to get a bunch of Rebels with you.

"Prepare for unforeseen consequences" may very well have been a threat.

No because Eli sort of disregarded Gman's message, or postponed thinking about it which resulted in his death.

I must say, I was very excited reading through the Advisor attacks. It made me think "OMG OMG OMG! Half-Life 3 is coming soon".
Well, that was a while ago. I cry myself to sleep at night, not knowing when HALF-LIFE 3 IS COMING OUT.
people already hacked that into an actual advisor (some of it) and it looks pretty cool.

where is that file anyway?
[QUOTE=JustGman;30945869]Oh god not that again. It was cool the first time but after that I wanted to shoot myself every time I saw it.[/QUOTE]
I guess you won't be playing Black Mesa then.
Hopefully, It was worth the wait.

Hopefully it will be worth putting up with people making that joke since 2007.

Don't worry, It's only another 4 years of hearing that joke.

I was making a joke about how everybody wanted Valve to make up for EP 1's trainless intro.
[editline]7th July 2011[/editline]
apparently it wasn't a very good one.

Somewhere in the Portal 2 SDK.
MEANWHILE, AT GAMESCON

I feel that at this point, another "Episode" would just be underwhelming. Three hours of gameplay after 4 years just isn't going to cut it.

Maybe they would keep adding to it with DLC and such.
It would be awesome if EP3 started with G-man Saying "DOCTOR FREEMAN. Wake up" or something, and then Gordon waking up and it was a rebel trying to wake him.
Also, AR3 guy should punch a hunter to death/should find an AR3 at some point.
I hope we get the ability to kill rebels in ep3.
Rebel:"DOCTOR FREEMAN! RE-"
*BOOM*
*Click-clack*
Freeman:"........."

Hoping it won't cut it for Valve developers, because a lot of the fans would get excited about EP3 which would give Valve the wrong impression.
I would advise Valve not to listen to community so much. For example TF2, I don't like what they turned TF2 into (because of what fans "wanted")
They will not come out whit a new source engine...

Im not so sure about that.

I think that Episode 3 will be a full-length game, but with the title of an episode. I don't think they'll skip straight to HL3.
