Ahead are a few spoilers.
PC ZONE UK have managed to snag an exclusive look at Episode 1, and not only does the article contain a few new screens, but also some pretty damn awesome info.
"Gordon is removed from stasis way before Gmans schedule, the very instant HL2 ended."
"Episode 1 will feature a mad dash through the crumbling vaults of Breen’s former Administration building, before showcasing its wrecked environs: awash with antlions that have flooded into the wrecked city, panicked Combine troops and pockets of humans desperate to escape. Kleiner, meanwhile has hacked into the Citadels propaganda network, his face appearing on the manifold screens - delivering his own dire warnings and crackpot theories."
There’s some new faces in the ascendant. "Episode 1 will mark the rise of a third power in the HL2 universe and one that'll have a large impact on Gordon’s future."
Evidence is suggesting, that it is actually the true Combine, those yet to come to Earth.
Robin Walker explains. "The Combine aren't happy with Breen’s failure to deal with Freeman and the resistance. In Episode 1 you'll learn some of the ways in which they are starting to take things into their own hands, none of which is good news for Alyx and Gordon."
"Creatures manufactured by Breen in the Citadel, using the Combines technology granted to him in their side of the faustion bargain (Earths surrender). Voluntarily or extremely involuntarily, the soldiers, zombies and stalkers are all adapted humans: biological, mechanical and tech-hybrids pumped out by the monolithic Citadel."
(Well, we already knew that one)
We can expect a few more aliens to jumping the divide between worlds as well.
Barney will be there to help out with the street fighting, Dog will appear at the beginning, showing up to be "Long enough to be useful."
"The people Gordon met in HL2 are facing new challenges and the resulting events won't leave them untouched..."
At Half-life 2's end, the Gman told you he'd received some interesting offers for your services and that ordinarily he wouldn't contemplate them, adding that these are extraordinary times. A lot of this is due to the change in the Half-life universe, and Valve can't wait to tell you about it.
New screens include a shot of Alyx shooting down some Combine elite in the Citadel, Alyx and Gordon moving towards an energy bridge in the Citadel, Alyx shooting up at an antlion in City 17 and Alyx and Dog watching at something in awe - and if I'm not very much mistaken, they are at the tip of reactor.
