At the top of the citadel

[Trodler]

so, its the end of the game and the portal opens up!

now, if you look u can see into the portal the tops of about 3 or 4 other citadels! so is this an opening to a combine world?

i also thought it would be cool to noclip over there and see what happens.

interestingly enough as well, what happens if you just leave breen to be teleported? do you get one of them "blah terminated: subject too slow" messages??

 

[Asknoone]

Those aren't Citadels, they are beacons or relays or something indicating a massive teleport site. That's what I thought anyway.

 

[Trodler]

oh right, lol well u guys are obviously a lot more observent then me! ill have to check again sumtime :$

 

[Xendance]

Picz or it didnt happen.

On a more serious note: I never spot other citadels or relays. Can we have a screenie?

 

[Trodler]

so those spires seen through the portal, are what's on the other side?

 

[Trodler]

im guessing the other side is some combine world space port for teleportations..?

 

[Darkside55]

On the other side is a Combine factory world. It's not meant to be inhabitated by humans. Who knows what exactly goes on, but it isn't a relay and they do some kinda work over there.

Combine don't use relays, far as I know. It's all "punch hole directly from point A to point B." Which is why they suck at local teleportation.

 

[Trodler]

scary.. i was kinda hoping i cud fly thru with noclip, revealing a totally new revelation to half life :O... but it didnt work. oh well xD

 

[Planetary]

They do use relays. Remember what Breen says? "The portal destination is untenable, surely you can set the relay elsewhere. There's no way I can survive in that environment."

 

[Trodler]

i wonder wat it is then!!!! :O

WHICH IS WHY THE PORTAL GUN IS BEING DEVELOPED FOR ON THE COMBINE HOME WORLD FOR THE SOLDIERS! and the player is a loser in portal being used to test the weapon..

Makes no sense considering the Aperture Science website and the presence of hundreds of thousands of brainwashed soldiers.

I thought Portal was just there to explain how humans developed stuff like gravity gun tech and so on. The Combine don't have grav guns, after all.

You can get there with noclip. It's in some corner of the map where you can't see it from the citadel.

 

[Trodler]

oh sweet *tries*

That wouldn't solve the problem. The Portal Gun can't be used to teleport into another dimension, now can it?

 

[DevFred]

They look like one of the first designed citadels explained in Raising The Bar.

Except for the poles that are sticking out on top.
