Pai-Mei's stories rocked... Especially Alyx on the Combine homeworld.

So Barney never dies? Hmm.. Maybe he is the Combine's new, to steal the words of Eminem, "Toy Soldier" .

Someone mentioned the idea of someone haxx0ring Gordon out of G-space for an expansion. I was actually considering that as the idea for HL3. I hadn't developed it very far, but it would be a cool way of totally blowing the player's shoes off with the unexpected..."you mean I'm finally free?! what the hell am I expected to do then?"

One possible opening could be Gordon lying face-up on some kind of moving trolley or bed, as his vision fades in and out. Somehwat shoddily dressed doctors and nurses surround the bed as it's being pushed, shouting commands and letting slip bits of information in the process. The attentive player will be able to deduce that Gordon has suffered bad trauma from an otherwise successful attempt to create a gate into whatever pocket plane GMan keeps Gordon in, and steal our hero out.

From there on I don't really have any idea where that's meant to go....or even whether that's the best opening under the scenario I've set out. Possible scenarios could be that humanity actually wants to kill Gordon, fearing the destruction that followed in his wake in the past. Maybe a better story than that would be that for the rest of the game you're actually being hunted by GMan's own never-before-seen people...screw the Combine, they're gone, you beat them, or at least sowed the seeds of their eventual collapse on Earth. HL3 demands a new ultimate enemy...one that's been with you all along...

Makes sense. Gordon is saved by people who still love him. As for the rest of humanity, time has passed, and the word has spread that Freeman damned the world to its state many years ago. And so Freeman has to fight off his own allies. But eventually, a new threat emerges, and in its insiduousness, either A) Almost all of mankind, preoccupied with freeman, is destroyed by it, or B) Mankind comes groveling to Gordon for help.

R2 i expected better of you. This is a thread from February. You do not bump threads.

[Asknoone]

It's still bad. Regardless.

The guy was desperate. Don't tell me you don't know the feeling when you're bored to death and nobody is online on the forums to reply to your posts.

 

[Asknoone]

Nope. Because I don't wait, I just reply and leave.

 

[iMMuNiTy]

I just keep the tab (Mozilla Firefox) open, minimize the browser if there's a need. So I'm always ready to respond. :cheese:
