Half-life 2: Unnamed? What name would you give to it?

[marcelobarros]

Hello fellow half-life fans!

I was just replying to the "missing storyline post" when I got this idea. It really bothers me to call games by their number... HL1.. HL2.. it kind of takes away a bit of it's importance. As though it was a mere sequel. The fact is.. this game has a different concept, a different engine, a different gameplay. The story is a sequel, yes, and a damn well made sequel. Yet I would prefer to call it by a unique name. I think it's better to identify the game and divide the story lines. Like Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, TT and ROTK. Or Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back and such...

So here's the question: don't you thing HL2 and HL3 should have unique names? What should we call HL2?

I would call it: Half-life 2: Combine Threat (CT or HL2: CT)

Put there are a few other names that came in mind:

Half-life 2: Black Mesa East (BME or HL2: BME)
Half-life 2: The First Free Man (FFM or HL2: FFM)

Half-Life 2 shouldn't have a unique title
THE BIGGEST DON'T HAVE TO HAVE UNIQUE TITLES.

 

[Wolfy Snackrib]

How about Half life 2: The return or some useless crap like that

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Dissonance. None of the other expansions had Half-Life as a prefix, so no need to start now.

 

[Sam2k]

Leave at as Half-life 2, more fitting.

 

[Jandor]

Half Life: Black Mesa
Half Life: Opposing Force
Half Life: Blue Shift
Half Life: Anticitizen

Hmm, that would look good in DVD cases lined up on my shelf .

Don't you understand Half-life 2 doesn't have a suffix to separate it from the upcoming expansions (like the Alyx one).

They are going to have a suffix probably like Half-life 2: Alyx Reloaded or something
