OK,
So long time no post and all that, what can I say I've been lurking :)
I have however reached a point where I need to raise a few pennies/cents/euros and digging around I've found this book I bought when HL2 launched. I appreciate there are PDF versions etc available online but given...
I dont think you can class your self as a Veteran TFC'er your only a Veteran if you remember Unholy kingdoms and such like in the original Quakeworld TF
lol.. well play catch up and watch it its a fanastic series this season and the finale is ace.
Anyway back to speculating :D ... who reckons we will revisit black mesa in its nuked run down but still partly accessible state?
New Enemies - Yes a couple ... (but you only fight one of them)
New Weapons - Not in this episode.. (unless you include a flare)
AI - Yes its been improved.
Retail .. I dont know .. Steam is ace.
LOL sorry I thought this was the internet.. who relies on Skyone when they have this :P...
That said though I would hardly say ruined its only a minor plot point similar to that of the alyx holding onto the pipes ... i never said what happens.:)
I think its unfair to say Ep1 didnt have potential its kind of like watching a drama unfold if you only see the opening act you are in no place to judge it for not completing the story.
Ep1 for me was perfect it continued immediately on from Halflife2 and placed you in perfect 'End of season...
Yeah I know for definate there is at least one advisor leaving in one of those... I just dont think they all contain advisors I think 1 does and the rest contain troops and equipment (which explain the mini striders and stuff)
Ohhhh joys of speculation :D
sam I cant rememeber the Kraken...
she wont die code you dont create a whole episode around developing that relationship and then wipe it out.
She will probably be in a coma. check the spoilers thread as I have a theory on that whole bit :P
yeah if you watch it closely its the citidel sending the transmission. Alyx said at the beginning the combine were desperate enough to send it that they would sacrifice it.
The pods escaping are believed by everyone here to contain advisors.
nope its a texture just over analysed it myself :P does look good tho.
Oh and looks like you train falls down a ravine (if the alyx on the pipes bit is true)
they are screwing with you. they wouldnt spend an entire episode developing the relationship and wipe her out in the first 10 minutes of the next episode it would be stupid.
I dont actually even think she will fall its possibly a dream or something from the mind probe/weapon that the combine...
Nah I do believe there was ONE little bit of CG in that final trailer and it was the panning shot of what remained of City17 everything else was ingame though and I can forgive that little bit of CG as it worked so well
I think the GMan's goals will be inherently good. I think Gordon was probably recruited by the Vortigaunts for HL2 and GMan chose to remove gordon after the citidel fell. they felt that wasnt enough and so kidnapped him.
I think we can definately assume we will be paying a visit to the arctic in the next episode or the final one..
Since no one else has mentioned it in any thread VERY BRIEFLY you see the Mini strider in the Judith Mossman video whilst in the core. It jumps into shot just as the video ends I...
The red flashes are a psychic weapon this is confirmed in the commentary in that area. and will feature in episode 2.
Also the white escape thingies are confirmed to feature heavily in episode 2.... too
