Remember the vortigaunt circle from HL1?

Did You Play Hl1! Xen Telepoters Transported The Player Throughout Xen! The Combine However Could Adjust This Technology To Whatever Their Means Suit!

Xen local teleport Xen-Xen
Earth local teleport Earth-Xen-Earth
They're 2 different things.

The reason behind the Xen relay is to avoid ending up in Xen. When the scientists at Black mesa discovered teleportation, they found that when they tried to travel large distances they ended up stuck in Xen.
In HL2 they've worked their way around this, so instead of ending up in Xen they simply swing around the border world and don't have to pass through.

 

[ríomhaire]

Yes, my point is local teleportation on Xen works differently to Eli's Xen relay.

My point is they can take this technology and change it to how they see fit.

 

[ríomhaire]

So why couldn't they take their own teleport technology and change it to be used localy? BECAUSE THEY'RE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS JUST LIKE THE XEN RELAY AND THE XEN LOCAL TELEPORTS!

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Yeah! Ahem.

Combine teleporters are different

Combine teleporters can only move between dimensions whereas xen teleporters and the xen relay teleporters can move to specific points within a dimension.

Combine teleporters can only move between dimensions whereas xen teleporters and the xen relay teleporters can move to specific points within a dimension.

Actually, Xen relay can only go to Earth.

 

[Tagaziel]

I stay with riomhaire on this one. Xen Local Teleportation works differently than Xen Relay Teleportation.

When using Xen as a relay, the sent matter is 'bounced', using Xen as a dimensional slingshot, and appears at it's point of destination. The object is therefore assumed to traverse into another dimension.

In Xen, you are transported through the same dimension, without leaving it. These two things alone suggest a drastic difference between the workings of both travel methods.

More later.

I don't know about that. Xen acts like a bridge for ALL dimensional travel. Theoretically you could go to somewhere else within the same dimension from crossing through Xen.

the circle of vortigaunts where there to to save yo like they did in ep 1.....as for the teleportation i have a theory:
to be teleported in a dimension where you can leave behind xen you'll have to break tru the bouncing point that requires more energy-like teleportation fueled by a dark fusion reactor...
