We are Half-Life fans. Fans, as a general rule, tend to over-analyse everything and then spawn fantastic theories which connect all the dots while adding 2+2 and getting 5⅝. This thread isn't about the innumerable things people have said/predicted that turned out to be wrong. Although there is still a lot of stuff we've yet to find out about, this thread is for people to post the things that they got right, a brag thread if you will that allows them to say, "you see what happened? I called it bitches."

As for me well I was right about
Eli being the one to die
I know there is a couple of other things I got right... I'm just tired and can't remember...
In my defence I've only been here post-Ep1 so it's not like I've had a lot of opportunity to be right about stuff, most of my theories are still yet to be proved or disproved.
 
The g-man lossing control of Gordon in EP1
Magnusson was (partially) based off the scientist that said "Gordon doesn't need to hear all this"
 
I didn't get anything right. I didn't get anything wrong either.

I didn't bother trying to guess :p

Although somehow I knew that Mossman was a traitor. She was such a lesbian.
 
mossman doesn't even look that good, loser...

That gman was Gordon's dad :O
 
whats with people liking mossman, whats there to like?

anyway, i havn't had a theory thread nor a theory, so i guess none
 
meh, i didn't see that, i wanted to put a bullet in her head, but i didn't work.

She has a gloriously tight sweater.

Other than that, she's a very well-developed character. She tries to do the right thing, but makes mistakes; it makes her very human. Personally, if she were a real person I'd probably hate her, but as a video game character she's impressive.

This.

But Alyx has youths and hotness.
 
her sweater is really that tight, i remeber her pants been tighter.

maybe i havn't played in a while. she seems like she's in her 40's lol
 
I still think the combine were in direct control of Nihilithan.
 
They never proved that it was wrong!
 
That Eli was the one to die.
That the G-Man was behind the Resonance Cascade.
 
I was right about the Combine having no connection with Earth following the Dark Fusion explosion.

That's pretty much it.
 
There was one person (not me) that predicted the Eli- G-Man connection very shortly after Episode One came out. Can't remember who it was though.

My current predictions concern the Advisor's role on Earth and that G-Man is behind the disappearance of the Borealis, but I'll have to wait for a while to see if those get validated.
 
Yeah I actually tagged that one too. But someone else made the thread, I think.
 
Agreed with above posts, Mossman is one of Valve's best creations. She shows a kind of vulnerability that neither Alyx nor Eli ever show (as for Alyx's famous stalker scene, I found that quite gimmicky).
 
You can suck my Vortescent Coil, Druckles! :angry:
 
I was right about Eli, but then again, I think it was pretty obvious it was gonna happen to him.

And, yes, I love Mossman too, and I can't WAIT to learn more about her. :)
 
Half-Life
  • The scientists at Black Mesa have been in contact with the aliens before the incident. (That's why they're in stasis tubes.)
  • The man I called "the man in the blue suit" would play a pivotal role in the end.

Half-Life 2
  • The "alien slaves" would fight on the side of freedom.
  • That the Civil Protection officers are merely human.
  • Combine Soldiers are augmented.

Half-Life 2: Episode 1
  • The G-Man would lose control of you.
  • Headcrabs slowly eat away at the head of it's host.
  • That it would end on a train with a massive explosion.

Half-Life 2: Episode 2
  • It would have a chapter reminiscent of the vertical fight in Lambda Core
  • The G-Man gave Black Mesa the crystal.
  • It would tie into Portal in some way.
  • Eli would be the major character to die.
  • There would be another sea-saw puzzle and sniping chapter.

i personally want to grab the magnum (which i lvoe so much) and shoot her in the head.
 
Oh yeah, one thing I forgot I actually got right:

A Big Portal: (12/11/06)

Confirmation of the Superportal: (24/04/07)

In fact, this entire thread is fairly interesting: Your Predictions

I don't think Gordon will be teleporting there. My money is on the Borealis. (take that Kupo)

Samon said:
Absolutely! It's my understand the Borealis was cut mainly due to placement though, rather than the actual content. Of course, I could be wrong, but I'm simply playing on the concept that Valve may introduce at some point, given how much work was put into it.

HOLY CRAP! Nice one, Samon!
