No, it's not going to appear at E3, like rumors previously said. But PC Gamer magazine (I think?) once put a very small picture of only a portion of this in their magazine. This is bigger, better, and in higher quality.

Fuck advisors indeed, but that's a very nice piece of concept art.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.....

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

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.

How about Valve getting rid of the, oh let everyone volunteer me, Gordon Freeman, without my permission for everything lol

One good example, oh Hey Gordon, your going to go take out the striders in the valley so the missile can launch. Good luck

Yea the portal gun is combined with the gravity gun to make a massive fucking black hole...

Potential....

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.

I'm thinking Barney. I think he'll accompany you both on a mission, and he'll sacrifice himself to let you and Alyx live some how.

Regarding Alyx dying, go and play Ep 2 again.

Right at the end just before you go and watch the rocket detonate, Eli says 'whatever the cost' just as Alyx walks into frame behind him.

Once you notice it it'll give you the shivers. I don't believe its a coincidence.

I'll find a youtube vid.

That'll do. Skip to 3 and a half mins in or so.

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?

And Alyx can't die, Gordon has to get some

Sorry Orange

Careful about spoilers ... I still haven't played Ep 2 (I have it, but just waiting for a free couple of days).

ep1 was pretty lame. ep2 was better gameplay wise, but still not that awesome.

more looking forward to portal 2. i loved that game so much.

I sort of expect Alyx to die. It'd be the most fitting, imo.

I doubt Barney or Alyx dies, they could kill DOG, but then some people might flip out and refuse to buy anymore HL games.

It's not true. At all. The XBLA will be getting a map pack called "Portal Still Alive", but is no means "Portal 2".
