So, yeah.

 

[Coop]

I wonder if the stalkers will be enemies like in Raising the Bar. It sucks that the POV is Gordon :-\

 

[Andy787]

Is it confirmed that it is Gordon's point of view? I would agree that that sucks (I think you should only take Gordon's POV for full sequels), if true, but new Half-Life is about as good as it gets in videogames, so I'll take what I get.

Yes.

 

[Eric-GCA]

It should definately be good, especially since Valve is doing this in-house and not farming it out like they did with the HL1 expansions.

It looks like you'll be back in the Citadel again, though it really isn't "backtracking" that much, since most of your time there was spent riding around in that container.

So this is a free download right? That's sort of the impression I got when the news came up on Steam.

 

[MrPing1000]

ahh finally u get to fight the drones hopefully they won't have lasers coming out of their feet anymore (that crashed the game lol )

 

[Ghost]

very much doubt it's free.




PCGamer article said Valve were very careful in never actually saying you were playing as gordon in the bits they saw, they'd have a hard time explaining that i think, mind you Alyx survived so they will have a hard time explaining that too.

Article also said the stalkers will be enemies this time, it also hinted that the helghast might not be.

They had better be. They left so much cool shit out of the actual game. Remember those huge, lumbering aliens in the last level you never got to fight?

 

[Hooker]

Weren't that just those enemies you fought in the original HL?!





It's been a while since I played HL2...

[mr.beers]

lol so true

 

[Espio]

I approve of this game.

Fap fap fap fap.

Ugh, I remeber before the release of the original HL2, there were supposed to be these mechanic-type of assasins, appearently they were also seen on the ship level in the infamous alpha leak build of the game. Somehow I just remebered that we didn't see any in the actual game - Valve probably left that level out after it got leaked. Anybody knows the real story?

Lots of level were scrapped. And It wasn't because of the leak, but because they weren't good enough.

 

[Hooker]

^ True




And still kinda funny to see how those scrapped levels are still better than a lot of full games out there

Ah fuck.
