"The people Gordon met in HL2 are facing new challenges and the resulting events won't leave them untouched..." D:

this line has got me thinking, we all believe that one of the core cast is going to die. and we'll be sad on that day (not me i'd laugh my ass off :P)

so it's come to me, your with alyx this whole Ep right? well the only person i can see having a real impact in this Ep is eli dieing :x

anyone thinking the same? :naughty:
 
Alyx will probably die or lose a leg(!!) at the end of Episode one or in Episode two. Valve is setting her up as an important character, more than just a friend (like say, Barney). But i dont see Gordon + Alyx going anywhere.
 
Yes, actually. I can very much see Eli taking the biscuit. He's a very warm, well humoured character who I find to be quite awesome. The relationship between Alyx and her father is very well established in HL2, infact excellently so. From the kiss on the cheek to him joking with her in Black Mesa East.

It'd be an excellent step in shaping Alyx's character. I can see Breen shooting him. They were at one point good friends, colleagues, until the Combines invasion of Earth drew them apart. But now the Citadel is in meltdown, everything Breen tried so hard to achieve is gone - and the Combine are not pleased with him. There's going to be alot of hatred inside Breen, and I can see him blaming it on Eli.

I don't want Alyx to die. And she won't, I don't think.
 
Eli seems too involved in the resistance. I mean, Kleiner's funny and all, but Eli has a 'leader' feel about him.

I guess we wont know till Aftermath.

Must...wait... :o
 
Kleiner is a little blind to what goes on around him. He knows what's happening, but doesn't devote himself to it. He devotes himself to his 'abstract' theories that are, at times, insane. Eli puts them to practical use though.
 
I can see Alyx dieing, I think overall it would be better for the plot.

Glad we agree.

Without Eli the resistance seems lost, unless either Mossman or Alyx decides to take his place. Barney's goog for on-the-battlefront leader, but he's no tactical leader who can command humankind (based on his antics at Black Mesa anyway).
 
I could never see them killing off Alyx. I could see Eli dying...not anytime soon, I think, but perhaps eventually. That will be a sad moment.

Heh, discussing this is kinda funny, because with everyone in agreeance that the death of Eli Vance would be a good route for the plot to go, and how sad it will be and the ramifications of it, the impact it will make on other central characters (Eli being Alyx's father, Mossman's lover, Kleiner's best friend, Freeman's mentor, and the leader of the resistance), if he DOESN'T end up dying...we'll all be disappointed. "They should've killed that old man!" :laugh:

In other speculation, I can imagine Barney biting the bullet. It will happen right before you get that beer he owes you...
 
Untouched doesn't mean necessarily death.

Maybe something along the line of body corruption of say..Barney which will result some comibne tech to keep him functional or something.

I'm still rooting for DOG being captured by the combine ( in Ep. 2) and you'll end facing him as a midgame-boss in Ep 3.
 
That makes me think, Dog could get blown up D:
I mean, he is only at the start and then Alyx sends him to somewhere else. He could get destroyed!
 
Evil Doggie?

Think of the Emotional Consequences, You see the Relationship between Alyx and Dog and to have Dog just turn on Alyx destroying it... That would be a Tear Jerker for her and the player if done right :dozey:
 
As i've displayed the idea once before , the player could choose to destroy DOG completely or just disable him to have him re-configured back on our side. This should add a non-linear aspect that will appeal to alot of people.

Besides , the fight should be awesome. think about how cool it would be fighting dog with great AI and he just smashes any objects you throw at him with the GG and he's throwing stuff of his own. It would be a tough challenge to take on.
 
I really don't want to see non linear plot stuff in Half-life. At all.
 
No, he has it pretty much right. To an extent. Half-life 2's combat is about as linear as I like it in a game such as.
 
Well , they can always make Alyx and Eli build another one if you choose to destroy it , thus having no real effect on how the story goes and if having DOG rebuilt in a few hours is too much of a stretch , then maybe they can say that they kept a "back-up clone" in case this stuff ever happens.

Eitherway , Dog as a mid-game boss = amazing , though maybe it would be better to save it for HL3 , if and when. Next gen gfx will make it more unforgettable.
 
Well, there is no certainty there will be a Half-life 3. I dunno, I think the graphics are awesome enough to display such a thing as it is.
 
Everyday i take 5 minutes and pray to Valve that there will be a Hl3.
 
I think Valve understands the need for HL3. Wrapping up the game through episodes doesn't work. If you look at the "TV vs. movies" model they're going for, you'll notice that with TV series, they usually wrap up a season or the entire show with an extended program...90 minute specials, 2-hour blockbuster finales, that sort of thing. You can carry a story along with episodes, but for closure you really need a big setpiece. We're getting off-topic though, so I digress.

By "no one will go untouched," I never once thought it to mean that someone in this episode (or perhaps even a few subsequent episodes) was going to die, or even be harmed physically. I took it to mean more of an emotional, or psychological thing.
 
"No one will go untouched" needn't mean anything more than it sounds. Bad stuff will happen, and Gordon and Alyx will experience them. It's not like Valve to reveal major clues as to who dies. Especially after they spoiled EVERYTHING in HL 2 for us (except the Citadel).

And if and when HL 3 is announced, it will probably run on a beefed up Source engine. Valve didn't work for 5 years for nothing.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no HAYLE ****IN' NAW Barney can't DIE! He is just fun of a character to lose! Kill Kleinner's balding ass!
 
Why do you hate Kleiner? He's funny.
Barney CANNOT die, because there's this whole Black Mesa flashback thing going with him.

It's either Eli or Alyx.
One of them is going to die...which one, is up to Valve... :dork:
 
I think by untouched we are all taking the meaning to mean death. Couldn't untouched also mean changed? Like somehow changed and or injured by the reactor blast (or maybe radiation?). Or some one from the resistance being captured by the combine and some how changed.. What would be more demoralizing to the resistance than having a resistance fighter (or leader) changed to a combine and then having to fight that changed comrade. Just my thoughts...
 
Barney and Alxy are ur sidekicks... though Like in batman robin died... which means we can kill off Alxy(not because i hate her)but barney is essential in the game
