Half Life 3 general discussion - EVERYTHING FROM VALVE IS AN ARG - Games

Well something like that [img]http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/7112/hl22u.jpg[/img] PS. Damn i miss this HL2 days, that atmosphere is so awesome

[QUOTE=Butthurter;34274525]holy duck, nice tits and yes i really miss the eerie/disturbing feeling you get from the half-life series, which was gone from the episodes stalkers just dont click it for me[/QUOTE] I think all parts had their own atmosphere and all have something special in it. HL2 where you feel under control and suppressed EP1 where you waiting Citadel explosion and trying to get out as fast as possible EP2 had some interesting feeling of solitude All have unique and epic atmosphere IDK why Valve left project, which made them famous and popular. Valve is different now I wanna make some new HL related art/concept. Ideas?

[QUOTE=TCB;34276940]Thanks for the wallpaper.[/QUOTE] No problem, nice to see it's not useless. BTW which one you picked up?

[QUOTE=d3m0l1sh3r;34277279]No problem, nice to see it's not useless. BTW which one you picked up?[/QUOTE] All three on a slideshow is the way to go

In my opinion, Half-Life 2 and the episodes didn't have much of an atmosphere at all. I would've liked a darker tone.

[QUOTE=tostopagaben;34280018]What about Ricochet [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/messagetovalver[/url][/QUOTE] no. Also, just hit 17k members!

So I started logging the amount of members in that steam group: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/699251/graph.png[/img] The graph shows the amount of members within the last 16 hours. There seems to be a pretty steady, linear growth.

[QUOTE=cnnoi33;34280362]Thanks to gaming sites! Its going to be bigger after blackout[/QUOTE] Let's hope so! Even if this doesn't warrant any results, it's nice to see that the fans care as much as they do.

[QUOTE=Hobbax;34286203]What about opposing force [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GearboxAlive[/url][/QUOTE] No. .....Maybe

[QUOTE=Hobbax;34286203]What about opposing force [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GearboxAlive[/url][/QUOTE] Valve probably cares... [IMG]http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad3/kyle7566/HL2ep2_screen08.jpg[/IMG] [sp]this much[/sp] about the trending "Message to valve" groups.

Scene: An arctic vista, at dusk. We're looking out over the edge of an icy plateu, overlooking rolling hills of snow. In the far distance we see plumes of smoke billowing out of what looks like the wreck of a helicopter sticking out of one of the hills. The wind is howling, and a snowstorm rages, blowing flakes into the camera, blurring our vision. A mellow score is playing, something that goes with the weather conditions. Suddenly, a gloved hand reaches over the edge of the plateu, searching for hold. Momentarily it finds its grip in a small crevice in the otherwise smooth ice as the music gradually gets more and more upbeat, might it be... But inevitably the ice shatters under the weight of the person taking hold, the music goes into a crescendo, and reaches its climax, suddenly going silent just as the hand is about to finally go over the edge. Then the other hand swings up over the edge and with a crunching sound smashes a crowbar into the ice, a man in bright orange armor hauling himself up over the edge: Gordon Freeman. The music picks up again, playing something that signals familiarity and hope. As Gordon stands up the camera arcs around, and we see over his shoulder the other side of the plateu. An open bay in the ice, and in the cold water lies a large red freighter with the word "Borealis" stencilled to its bow. As the music gradually becomes more ominous, we see Combine helicopters circle the ship, searchlights playing over it. Klaxons blare as several Combine teams are preparing to board it and claim whatever lies within. As the image fades, the words "Half-Life 2: Episode 3, coming fall 2012" appear. The music also fades out, and the last thing heard is the howling wind, and the Overwatch voice issuing orders. I swear it's real, i saw it in my dreams!
