Advanced Companion Cube [Spoilers]

[Asymptote]

Has anybody else noticed this?:

If you play the advanced map where you have to tote the Companion Cube around (I don't remember which map it was), the Cube is replaced by one of the GLaDOS spheres you see in the ending cinematic.

Creepy.

It to make the game harder, as in the ball can roll away from your desired location.

 

[Asymptote]

Well, yeah, there's that too. I'm just saying, I like the fact that they didn't use any old spherical object.

Also it's used to create a different challenge- bouncing the ball.

That's because there are no other spherical objects in the game that would have worked. Also, the way I see it, the advanced maps are not even part of the story line.

Hm...I suddenly feel a lot less clever for having found this and brought it up...

 

[Cheomesh]

It's just Valve being too lazy to make a new ball.

...Or jumping onto the lip of the doorway. :cheers:
