Black Mesa return

[Kevin]

Ok, so what if his has been asked already,but i gotta make sure.

Will Gordon ever go back to the ruins or crater or whatever the nuke left of Black Mesa?

And encounter some new freaks or whatever...

 

[Asknoone]

Probably not.

 

[Barnz]

There will be a presequel to Half-Life where we play as a laboratory rat. Laidlaw confirmed this.

 

[BarnyFan]

There wouldnt be anything left after an A-Bomb not much anyway.

Do you mean Portal? Where he said that?

Return to Black Mesa, NM is stupid idea.

 

[Barnz]

It was a joke...or was it?

 

[morgs]

I don't think he'd go back there unless he wanted extremley critical radiation posioning.

It has been twenty years.

Hev suit does nothing then??

 

[mastag]

Hev suit does nothing then??

well, he doesn't have the helmet...

 

[soulslicer]

it would be really cool, if we could visit it again. Unfortunately, we are in EUROPE, and that facility is in New Mexico..right?

 

[AJ Rimmer]

well, he doesn't have the helmet...

Walking on a ledge half a feet from the Citadel's over-loading power core didn't seem to bother him much. Helmet extends from inside the suit says some, I buy it.

Well HOW did we get from New Mexico TO Europe anyway?
Gman will take care of that.:cheers:

And he has the helm.
It sorta comes up, when the suit finds radioactive or hazardous environments.

 

[Barnz]

Gordon is worse than the Combine. First Black Mesa (and Xen), then City 17...what's next?

 

[Para]

It has been twenty years.

Falloff from a nuclear weapon is a bit different than from, say, molten core of Tsernobyl.

 

[morgs]

Although, even if he did go back, there wouldn't be much left but a few hundred crispy scientist skeletons.

i would think more of a crater. i mean it is an a-bomb....no skeletons would "survive" that. not that decomposing adds to it after 20 years.

 

[Polaris]

Actually, it was H-bomb...

 

[Aldenhelm]

Perhaps Apurture Science was bilt over the crater?

 

[Tagaziel]

Aperture science labs are a lab rate playground G-Man has in his briefcase to watch for fun when he's bored.

 

[Trodler]

the bomb was made by the people who did the harzard suit
i had a screeny from op4 when you disable the bomb, it says its a "Mark IV" or whatever model. i cudnt help but laugh and think "so they do bombs too"

 

[Barnz]

[MorganFreeman911]

If it's a MKIV, then that doesn't mean it was made by the same people who did the HEV suit. It means that it's the 5th model of the bomb in question.

 

[Barnz]

Congrulations Sherlock, another case solved!

"Hey look, there's a radioactive pit in the middle of the desert, wanna build a secret lab there?"


....yah, not likely.

 

[scotland1]

well, he doesn't have the helmet...

Now that I think about it, if gordons HEV suit had a helmet, it would look exactly like halo.

 

[Jintor]

"Hey look, there's a radioactive pit in the middle of the desert, wanna build a secret lab there?"

You'd be surprised. People keep building their secret labs over interdimensional portals into netherworlds, tiberium fields, etc.

 

[GreatEmperor]

It is the place that the rift is strongest, maybe the only place the Combine can come through in later episodes so they have to be stopped at the place or a receiver for the satellite placed around there

 

[Narvi]

You'd be surprised. People keep building their secret labs over interdimensional portals into netherworlds, tiberium fields, etc.

But they were, you know, studying tiberium.

 

[soulslicer]

just realized, those lazy bungie developers put helmets on their soldiers so that they dont need to worry bout lots of voice acting..haha..althought its not really true

 

[Jintor]

But they were, you know, studying tiberium.

Bad example. But a surprising amount of facilities are placed in really stupid places.

 

[Kevin]

Examples?

 

[Narvi]

Dude, you're thinking about housing projects.

 

[Jintor]

I have no examples!



Every facility I looked up had the horrible weird-shit inflincted upon it because it was a facility, or nothing really weird-shit happened to them.

I couldn't even find one that was made on an inter-dimensional portal to a netherworld! I thought one of those would be a given!

 

[Kevin]

Tough luck then.:dozey:

 

[Sloth]

Doubt in BM's return I do...

Hoth, wierd base on the middle of a frosty land?

 

[Kevin]

Was "Hoth" in Star Wars?
That's not a very good example.

And it's just a frosty planet.

Were talking about radioactive pits and inter-dimensional rifts, that spit out evil alien creatures.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Cardiff is set on top of a rift in the time/space-continuum.



...Dr Who is based on real British history, right?

 

[Barnz]

So the Daleks are real? #runs away#

 

[Narvi]

The evil politicians who gas their cabinet and make faces at the US president surely are.
