Two things I noticed.
After the train crash, I noticed Alyx had a scar on her. I thought that was pretty good of Valve to add that for her...

Second, if you look in the crossbow scope, you can see behind you. Sadly, I cant see Alyx in it, but who cares, its awesome that.

:cheese:
 
The second one happens in CS:S as well. As for the first one, I'd better check it out.
 
I am almost positive that she has that scar right from the beginning. As for the crossbow it does the same in half life2.
 
As far as i could see when i played through ep.1 yesterday, Alyx had the cut above her eye all the way through.
 
She must've gotten it during the citadel rescue, though for Gordon, the only effects are health at 47 (nice touch by Valve, how much do we start with in Episode Two?)
 
I doubt she got that scar during the train crash or the citadel exploding, if so then it would still be raw or scabbing over.

And why does it say "Last thread" in the title? *worries*

EDIT: Ah, never mind. Just read the "Last thread"...
 
Alyx has the scar from the beginning of EP1. She gets a bit more roughed up in it, compared to HL2, but not as much as Barney.
 
Is there any significance at all to Gordon's health at the start of ep.1 being 47 or is it just random?
 
V-Man on number 47

I hope Valve doesn't start doing something stupid with the number 47.
Like Bungie and the number 3.
Or maybe even LucasArts and the 1138 easter egg.
 
...Bungie and the number 7.

And what's wrong with easter eggs like that? I appreciate little touches which fans can recognize.
 
Btw the 'Last thread' bit was because I've been making several topics in the Ep1 area.

Now im off to play some TFC with MUNRO!
 
I don't know if the amount of health you have at the beginning of Ep1 was randomly chosen by VALVe, but it's kinda weird considering when I play on hard I often have less health than 43 after blowing up Breen's little pod.
 
Really? You're a bit bad at the game then, considering you can get a recharge before you face the reactor core.
 
The cubemap on the crossbow's scope has been there since day one :hmph:
 
Yup.

And before you ask, it would be really hard to get it to reflect entities as well.
 
The fact that you have never looked at the scope in the first Half-Life 2 baffles me.

Click to expand...

I'm more concentrated on my fighting than looking at the Crossbow's scope. And to be honest, I notice the scope more in Episode One than I do in Half Life 2.
 
I had only noticed the scar, lol. And Barney has one too. Alyx is really cool in Episode One. That "Zombine" joke was sooo bad xD
