Well the last couple Episodes more then made up for the let down that was HL2. Dont get me wrong, loved the game, but after meeting Breen in HL2, the game just plant you in copy+paste levels, doing the same thing over and over. It had its great moments, but oh hey, another level of me trying t get from A to B versus combine!? No thanks.Volatile wrote:
We probably won't see this for another year.
All I know is that it better be 10 hours long, have massive explosions every 5 min., and the final boss should be an advisor voltron that you have to take down with the choppa.
You ought to listen to the level commentary.r2zoo wrote:

Hopefully you get to jump on an advisor and tear it to pieces or something, were quite the bastards in EP2, a good concept though, no much was revealed about them, and their abilities in the game, hopefully EP3 wraps up the cliffhanger.
I swear Vlave, you make another god damn cliffhanger...so help me...
I dont think they will kill Alyx, they spent to much time building her up, it would be wasted effort, even if it got a good reaction. I expect Judith, but then that might be to obvious, maybe Kleiner or Magnuson....or DOG....._j5689_ wrote:
Yeah, just because of the tongue thing, I hate advisers. I can't imagine the player being anything but helpless in the event of an adviser though, as that seems to be the only way the player confronts them is to be telekinetically stuck against a wall until it's brain straw time.
Spoiler (highlight to read):
I will be so fucking upset if Alyx dies the same way her father does but I can see it coming.

Yea the portal gun is combined with the gravity gun to make a massive fucking black hole...KuSTaV wrote:
ooOooOoooo........ nice.
Indeed, they had better make this episode bloody epic. A massive battle between combine, advisors etc vs vorts and resistance? This has possibilites. Maybe the Boreallis or whatever it is has the portal gun or something to intergrate the portal gun with the gravity gun.
This has potential.
I think thats the exact reason they will kill her.Commie Killer wrote:

I highly doubt Alyx dies. I think Valve wants to give her and Gordon that "happily ever after" storyline where they defeat the combine and get married. After all, Eli (I think) joked about it when he mentioned that the forcefield which stopped reproduction was taken down after the fall of the Citadel.Commie Killer wrote:

Bout the Advisers...probably get a new weapon to deal with them? Vorts take care of them for you? Who the hell knows.

What the hell happened to Barney anyway, you didn't see him once in Ep 2. How do we know if his train went kaboom also?

Random thought but Im kinda sad Portal 2 isnt gonna be on the PC...
It's not true. At all. The XBLA will be getting a map pack called "Portal Still Alive", but is no means "Portal 2".Metal-Eater-GR wrote:
