I know this is a thread more appopriate for rumors and speculation but anyway:

Now I don´t know if this is a Spoiler or not but

****************SPOILER******* ******************

This little text is what I have managed to get from the info floating on the Web about HL2.

The beggining:
Gman saying:«Greetings Mr.Freeman.We´ve been rather busy in your absence»(as seen on 'G-man bink vd')
From there you are teleported for City 17 throw one those portals (lk the ones from the ending oh HL1)
City 17- one of the last citys of Earth---
remember Judge Dredd´s Megacitys- Major conglomerates of urban terrain like NY-NJ-PL were turned into 1 BIG city leaving only a few / or \ World war 3 or the Invasion from Xen have destroyed every city on earth excepting a few / or \ a Neocron-style citys that emerged from the ashes of the destroyed world , again only a few survive / or \ a secret atempt from the Govt. to create citys with cooperation with the Xen (atleast it explains the Combine-mix betwen Xen and Human)

Combine- As the name says they are junctions between something-But what?
One of the part is human so maybe a Matrix-like war has happened and they are cyborgs or maybe they are really what I say above and that´s a mix between Combine and Human.


You make Guerrila war against Combie invading troops in City 17 and other places ( i remember seeing an interview where Valve sead that all action happened on Earth but that doesn´t means whe can´t fight inAntarctida)

Now I think that the «chance to strike back » that Alyx refeers to at Kleiner´s Lab video should be some sort of a biological weapon that kills only Combine( the orange water) that eventually you´ll have to deployin The Combine(the big building eating City 17)

The administrator- He knows things about the Balck Mesa incident you don´t problably is the causing agent for your flashbacks(which are impossible to speculate about)

What do you think? I thought it was nice. If you think I´ve forgot some aspect of the history to speculate tell me and I will do my best.
 
Well... I don't like that story. I don't like it at all. It might be the hero-like attitude you're writing it all in. Too far-fetched.
I thought the original HL story "style" to be better than anything else I've encountered. It starts out all fine and sweet, and then something goes wrong and you'll have to fight your way out of the Facility. Only gets better when the marines are sent in. It shows that Gordon is a mere human who's simply fighting for his life (although he kills a crapload of enemies), and not some H-man whose only purpose is to save the world.

However it turns out to be, I'm just glad we have mr Laidlaw and not mr Sprafa (NOT bashing you in any way) to write the story.

I didn´t made up this story!!!!
This is what I managed to retrieve from the information on the Web(and other places) about HL2.As you can see it has many variables and possibilities because there are no conclusive information about it.

As a matter of fact I´m going to open a new thread and there I hope people talk about their vision of the HL2 story based on what we already know.

Yup...Seriously Sprafa, I'm having problems understanding what you write in places..
Ah well, maybe it's just me getting old :p

CAN YOU LISTEN CLOSELY PLEASE!!
I didn´t made this up!! This is a conglomerate of hipoteses that were based on what we know about HL2 may or not be the story of HL2!! I said that because i wanted ppl to write something better than this instead of flamin it.
 
Stop teasing them hippos, Sprafa! Naughty! :E

Seriously, though, some interesting ideas, and we could sit here and add, subtract and cross-breed ideas till the cows come home, but I think people are getting tired of this kind of thing.

There's a bit of a slump in interest for a lot of people at the moment, so maybe a thread like this'd do better when the hype picks up again...

Just my thoughts. Not a flame!
 
I wonder if I'll get banned for mentioning the pre gold...

I really don't care, because I hardly ever post here anyway.*
 
Sounds cool, but I think Freeman starts out in some kind of prison camp and is broken out by his buddies.

btw, cool name Niddhoggr, as in Norse dragon, right?

I agree with you. Its too much to take in. Valve said that your NPC's would tell you what has been happening (and the flashbacks that Valve mentioned). This is how i think the story starts:

(Your aboard that Ice Breaker Ship)
You have a strange dream about what happened back at Black Mesa.
You wake up to find Alyx is sat next to your Bed/Hammock. She says," Gordon, your awake, i thought that you weren't going to come to. Do you recognise who i am."
Just then, through flashbacks, you realise that you were knocked out cold, and you were suffering from Amnesia.
Gman walks into the room, and tells you what has been happening. "America has been overun."
All hell breaks lose, combine board the Ice Breaker. You creap through the ship to meet Barney at a Dinghy. Barney gets you to land via the Dock, where you get your crowbar, and the Game starts.
 
Ooh, excellent ideas there, DEATH eVADER!! I think G-man would say: "The planet has been overrun" rather than just America. But apart from that, it's totally plausible!!
 
hahahah, i certainly hope so.

WTF is that mutant ISA card anyway, is it a 256mb ISA 8x voodoo 2 :p
 
We don't know for sure what it is. Various theories were thrown around. You can probably still find the thread if you have a bit of a trawl through the hardware section :E...
 
Great i can't search for ISA =[
4 letter word minimum.

Hmm
I can think of a few..

Wow, somebody actually knows? Usually I get a lot of "Are you censor bypassing?"
