Well from looking at the trailers, and knowing that main characters will be killed in the next episode, could Valve be looking at the Star Wars concept of a hard blow struck at the resistance from the heart of the Combine. I mean its vaguely followed it so far, with Half-Life 2 being seen as the resistance kicking the living crap out of the Combine and winning the Battle of City 17, also the (possible) death of Dr. Breen. Episode 1 has seen the destruction of the Citadel, the heart of all control in City 17. All these actions have stuck a a large blow at the Combine, just the Rebels did when destroying the Death Star in Episode 4.

I believe the only reason the Combine were beaten badly at City 17 was because they were simply outnumbered and were taken completely by suprise with the unknown arrival of Freeman. I think now the Combine realize the resistance's strengths and weaknesses and will be a lot more prepared this time, I mean we are talking about the forces to which destroyed the world's armies within 7 hours. I think we will see the Combine strike back HARD at the resistance in EP2.

Your thoughts?
