I foresee arctic critters that move at insane speeds underground, all you see is the snow moving around until suddenly the critters on your face! Head humper 2.0?
Gabe never directly mentions Episode 3 anywhere in that interview. You got my hopes up and then smashed them down with informative sources we already have known about for days! :colbert:

If Gabe knows what I fear most, there are going to be bears in EP3. oh god oh god
[QUOTE=Uberslug;20998197]If Gabe knows what I fear most, there are going to be bears in EP3. oh god oh god[/QUOTE] What about bears with guns?

As a reference to Lost there will probably be a random polar bear
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;20994515]What you guys don't understand is, Episode 3 has already been released. He knows the thing the fans fear most is never playing Episode 3, so that's all that Episode 3 is: An endless series of delays to exploit that fear.[/QUOTE] That is exactly what I thought when he said he knew our deepest fears. We're all going nuts over knowing when it'll actually come out. Either that or they will go "stay tuned for episode four!"
[QUOTE=goon165;20992341]I for one, want the tentacle monster to make a comeback.[/QUOTE] I was imagining somethings bursting out of the ice just as I was reading over this post. It would be sick if the tentacle was latched to the bottom of the ice and burst out. Like if you were walking over a massive frozen lake. That'd be a quick way to get Mossman killed (if she isn't already dead).
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;20998699]As a reference to Lost there will probably be a random polar bear[/QUOTE] i hope so, just like just cause 2 where there is an island and the hatch and that
[QUOTE=BlazeFresh;21001631]i hope so, just like just cause 2 where there is an island and the hatch and that[/QUOTE] I love that island, wish it had a polar bear :) [editline]04:51PM[/editline] Maybe Ep3 info will be released on the date of the last episode of Lost? Hmmm
[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;20992311]Maybe no extra ammo just laying around, only what you can scrounge off of the Combine. Just make it so you HAVE to conserve ammo. Besides, I'm imagining lots of arctic Xen creatures.[/QUOTE] It's hard to conserve ammo when you have to shoot enemies 5 times to kill them.
Heck, I wouldn't mind going back to the "Run around a steel corridor corner and whack something that just teleported out of fuck nowhere." As long as we still have those classic action sequences that date back to HL2. Puzzles too Gabe, puzzles too.

Rate agree if you think Episode 3 will be awesome.
[QUOTE=Just2Rusty;21003769]Rate agree if you think Episode 3 will be awesome.[/QUOTE] easy now
[QUOTE=johanz;20997748]Better not, sounds generic and dumb[/QUOTE] Well I'm not a part of Valves team so obviously I can't think up awesome ways to scare people.
I think since it's the last part of this arch it shouldn't just be jump out at you scary it should be creepy scary, like parts of the citadel and Nova Prospekt, also that effect that the advisers produce when you're near them could be put to very good use.
I can't wait to see how they'll go about this. I've only been frightened in garrys mod of all games that uses the source engine, that that was because of the companion cube which could stab you. It'll take a lot to make something scary in the source engine, but that doesn't make it a bad engine. (If anyone has a mod for HL2 or any source game that does exactly that; scaring the player then I'm willing to try it out)
Anyone have a link to the companion cube stabby thing?
[QUOTE=myng;20991798]Sorry, we knew this since like 2 days ago, I'm afraid your late my good sir.[/QUOTE] At least it isn't 3 motherfucking years
Bring in Mr. Friendly. [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/en/images/9/9f/Mr._friendly.jpg[/img]
Well, at least Gabe weighed in the truth
I want to see headcrabs frozen on ice. [img]http://static-p4.fotolia.com/jpg/00/00/98/75/400_F_987551_56KqEEGm9NXY4oBh5xpiEFGme1PQRx.jpg[/img] Sort of like this :D

I hope the Garg is in Ep3. Except bigger. And more camouflaged. Imagine a 200ft behemoth stomping around just beyond the threshold of your sight in a thick snowstorm.
Hopefully we'll see snow zombies, that'd be creepy as, dozens of zombies bursting up out of snowdrifts, kinda like antlions and sand. Though explaining why zombies are there would be weird though.
[QUOTE=backfoggen;20991784]all new experience sounds good considering that episode two was boring as shit[/QUOTE] :byodood: No it was episode 1 which bored me. But episode 2's strider battle pissed me the fuck off. Episode 3: no boring bits, and no fucking piss-off boss battles plz. OH AND CONTENT!!! Who's G-MAN? What happens to lamarr!?!
Fading of abilities, huh? I think that an interesting twist would be to have the HEV suit slowly losing power throughout the game, and by the end you're riddled with bullet holes and moving at a slower speed. You're no longer superhumanly fast, and you can no longer jump two feet in the air from a standing start.
