Right, there seems to be a little confusion as far as HL2 Singleplayer and Rumours and Speculation forums are concerned.

There is a blurring, and it isn't exactly clear what post should be posted in what forum.


Discussion about the HL-series storyline should be limited to one forum (The rumours and speculation forum, which should be renamed), including such posts as "Do the combine control Xen" or "Is the G-man Gordon's dad?"


While HL2 - singleplayer should be restricted to gameplay issues, such as "I can't get past...." or "anyone notice that combine guy having a spliff outside the railway station? I think it's a bug"

It seems to be quite a popular idea now that Rumours and Speculation should be renamed HL Mythology, to incorporate discussion about the entire storyline...

Allow me to clarify - Rumours and Speculation was more to do with discussion before HL2 was even released, now the game has been out for a while, it would let us seperate the storyline from the gameplay issues. Rumours about the continuation of the storyline would be included in HL2- mythology.

What are your thoughts?
 
I made a post for the admins just now.

It should be
"HL/HL2 Story Discussion"

and
"HL2 Gameplay Discussion/Help"
 
Well, that makes 3 moderators! lets storm the hl2.net control room!
 
Yeah, well sounds good. I don't visit these forums much so for me it's not really that important, but I can see that there might be a problem for those who do visit here alot.
 
Thanks Maxi :thumbs:

A new regime of clear seperation of gameplay and story are within our grasp!

Marx never had the clever forward planning and thinking to consider this!

Oh, can the words "THE COMBINE WEREN'T ON XEN, DISCUSSION WILL CAUSE DISSENTERS TO BE BANNED" flash subliminally when people go into the forum?
AND MAKE ME MODERATOR SO I CAN BAN THEM!!!

almost had to shoot him if it wasnt for that line lol .. gonna shoot you in teh bellybutton
 
Half-Life 2 (PC) - All discussion for HL2 - gameplay etc
Singleplayer Mythology (Spoilers) - Storyline discussion for HL/HL2
Rumours & Speculation - Rumors for unreleased games/products
 
Doesn't that make "Rumours & Speculation - Rumors for unreleased games/products" a little superfluous?
 
Also, should the problems be shuffled on to the Community Game Support, instead of General Half Life 2/Whatever its called now?
 
YAY!
it's better, so good that i didn't notice the difference!

But it's a good idea, and helps the swamp to clear a bit.
 
*spasms*


What just got changed?

^^^^^ = spam...seriously.

This is better, the rumours and spec forums i don't look in very often anyway, the general HL2 forum should be cleaner now though, good stuff.

What about rumors regarding Aftermath, other HL2 expansions, Half-Life 3, Team Fortress 2, etc?

I don't think those fit in with HL2 Gameplay or HL/HL2 storyline.

Didn't think about that. Good point. :)
