However, perhaps the most exciting tidbit to come out of tonight's update is the very first screenshot from the upcoming HL2 expansion pack: Aftermath. Although rather dark, the screenshot features an imposing Combine soldier guarding a span within what we assume is one of the Combine citadels. There's a figure in the background that appears to be some sort of cybernetic zombie wearing a diaper with mechanical lower legs, a visor, creepy chicken-wing arms and one incredibly long left nipple.

We can't make this stuff up, folks.

Or play it at all! One of them appears on a monitor in Nova Prospekt.
 
Will they ever learn... TO READ THE RAISING THE BAR???

Ok, the yelling wasn't necessairy :'(
 
Errmmm... I think they were just making a joke? :|
 
Actually, that pic is from the British PC Gaming (or something like that) where they have some screenshots of HL2: Aftermath. One of the pics has this wierd blue beam and of the the Stalkers is out and about. Kind of cool. Hopefully we can blow them to Hell now.

Of course, that COULD be a screenie from the first HL, er, 2. It's kind of hard to say. They were still in the Citadel from the looks of the magazine, so it could be either one.

edit: Actually, restart Steam. There's a picture of it. I'll be damned.
 
lol, ya that was out a bit ago :P I hate not restarting Steam for weeks at a time, I get updates late :(
 
You guys do know that the "beam" greatgat is talking about is the same exact one that was used in the e3 tech demo for the phys gun. It's safe to assume that the phys gun is going to be in the game.
 
But the citidel was blown up... How could it still be standing?

The top of it was blown up at least, that's all we know.
 
Yeah, Aftermath is all about escaping the Citadel and finally City 17, where all manner of naughty monsters are playing tricks on the Citizens!

The G-Man probably teleports you to another location just before the explosion, where you'll re-appear with Alyx at your side, I'm guessing. Then it's you vs everything in the Citadel, including the Crab and Mortar Synths, and the aforementioned Stalkers.

I wonder if the Stalkers will act similarly to those crazy syringe monsties from The Suffering.
 
Or you don't reappear with Alyx on your side, Gordon goes looking for her, finds her corpse, and goes necro :P
 
The blue beam is EXACTLY the same as the one on Kleiners teleporter.

Your turning me on D:
 
Is it me, or was the 'sneak peak' of Aftermath something of a letdown? Given that it could have just been any one of the other Citadel levels with a Stalker and a Combine Soldier running through them?
