Half Life 2 expansion pack ideas

[azz0r]

Now the interesting thing is, the way ends

Spoiler

could mean that we'll never see the combine again, as it seems the g-man just uses us when he needs to

However, I would love to see an expansion of the combine story - probably played through as Alyx that would explain the combine history abit further and have lots of street battles - theyre my absolute favourite. I would like;

[*]More street battles
[*]Alot more story


and most important, seeing the damage

Spoiler

the falling tower does >D

Yours?

 

[jheaddon]

hmm maybe, doubt though. Although would love to see what happened between the two..

And its Birmingham by the way

What happened to Shepherd. If, at the start of HL2, Gordon was sent back to Earth ten or more years in the future by the GMan, where has Shepherd been all this time?

Wasn't he left in some out-of-the-way spot on Xen?

I propose that OP4: Part 2 should have Shepherd as the leader of the Vortigaunt resistance against a Combine invasion of Xen (assuming it wasn't already under their control - maybe that's what Nihilanth was).

He could be accompanied wherever he went by a friendly Race-X Shocktrooper that he'd raised from a larva (the Spore Launcher in OP4 was actually a baby Shocktrooper), and maybe have a few stranded army dudes with him, who'd gotten lost on Xen during the battles that we see the results of at the end of Half Life.

Maybe we could even meet a stranded Black Op (Crazy? Like those island-bound soldiers they found years after WWII ended, he could percieve anything and everything as a threat).

The Xen-based Vorts could have a few Grunts and maybe a Gargantua for support... finally, we'd get to see a HL2-grade Garg.

I'd think OP4-2 would have a lot more creepy alien stuff in it...

And the Xen landscape would be a lot more like the one we see in Blue Shift. A resident human would probably have built bridges around the local area anyway...

i wanna play as the combine, u actually get to be in charge of taking control of earth, and along the way u run into gordon freeman, and even though gordan blows the dark energy reactor up, theres still more to the story that they could prolly tell us in one of these expansion, cuz im curious as to if the whole world stopped or just gordon, thats more the reason i think gman is in gordans mind!!!

^And you get to shock people

Maybe playing the game through as Barney? Being able to go into the Combine without being noticed etc

 

[Mr-Fusion]

I just want anything that helps to further explain the combine invasion of earth and what they're doing here.

Well Alyx and Barney would be obvious expansion pack ideas, and it'd be cool to weave in and out of Gordon's story and see him do his thing. Not sure how the prison would work for Alyx, but maybe there could be a computer hacking mini game, and you could see Gordon's progress on monitors.

The not so obvious options would be some other resistance fighter who got into trouble, or my personal favourite, one where Dog is playable. That one would be a third person fighter, i guess though your goal would be more about finding Alyx and keeping her safe.

Hmm...op 4 two, a much shorter game, ala blue shift, covering the 7 hour war...that would be mega sweet.

Umm....valve?

I think they should bring back Alan Shepard, and start in a diffrent "City". And it's huge street battles.
You appear at like City 15 or whatever, look around.. You get in a line get some pass. Eventually someone tells you about a meeting on rebeling.
Then eventually it turns out into huge battles.

I would love it. Striders with no rocket launchers etc... Would be really cool. Lots of rebels with you at all times, but unlike HL2 not everyone would know you. You would just be another rebel.


I got a better idea!
lets have an expansion pack in which you have to keep turning valves!
I love valves! There cool! Gooo Valve!
