Man I really hate that 30 second respawn in Enemy Territory so annoying you get out of the spawn and bam a stupid panzer whacks you in the face oh boy another 30 seconds.
America's Army is even worse just sitting out the whole round sucks waiting for a noob to die. Even thought he/she doesn't know what to do.

I got an idea!!

When a person dies in the normal map (ie a standard city 17 map) you either spawn in "hell" or "heaven", two other parts of the map that is below and above the normal map. In heaven there is eternal crowbar fight without ever dying, in hell you only have a pistol that cant hit crap, and you are constantly on fire
The round ends when all are in heaven or hell

What's gonna piss me off is if they have - and they probably will - a love interest between Gordon and Alyx...
Christ they really wouldn't pull it off. It'd be bad.

It will be between Barney and Gordon.

I think it's going to be implyed but never obvious. I mean, you can't really respond, can you?

 

[el Chi]

Interesting proposition...
<Shudders>

Well if then did it wouldnt be huge. They're hardly going 2 put a 1st person sex scene into it

If they do it'll probably be subtle, a few blushes from Alyx etc.

I think when you die you should get permanently banned from the server, Possibly have your Login banned on all servers, just 2 make it more realistic.

Fs in the time I wrote my reply the 2 of u had posted. No Fair.

True...

"Gordon, what is it, you got something to say?"
*Waves around with crowbar in heart pattern*
"What are you doing"
*Tries to shoot in the text "I luv you" on the wall but runs out of bullets after "I"*
"Stop being like that, we need to get going"
*Tries to get HEV suit to play the marriage tune*
"Are you hurt? Your heart rate doesnt sound good"
*Jumps out the nearest window in frustration*

Barney and Gordon? Who the hell said that? The alien-murdering psychopath is just intimidaded by women that's all!

 

[el Chi]

"Gordon, is that a crowbar in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

It probably would be implied rather than overt - making out with someone in an FPS would be a confusing affair. Although it would please a fair few people on this forum.
Sexual tension wouldn't be such a grating thing (although Gordon must radiate Sex in a big way to attract ladies despite his muteness - or maybe Alyx is REALLY into the strong, (incredibly) silent type) but still it could either work ok, just as long as it's not too big a deal OR could be awful.
Ooh, can anyone spot a rescue the damsel in distress mission? <Dies>

 

[Wilco]

I dont think he actually is Silent all the time. its just when your playing him your supposed to fill in with your own lines. I doubt he would have got his PhD or his job if he never talked

 

[el Chi]

Last time I checked, getting a PhD in Experimental Physics or whatever didn't require an oral examination paper.
But he would have failed the MIT and BMRF interviews in a big way.

It was a joke about him being a complete mute, by the way... Not serious conviction.

 

[Feath]

You know, if they ever do a Half Life movie I'd expect it to be full of jokes like two scientists talking:

"Oh god, I was talking to Freeman last night and I could not get him to shut up. I couldn't get a word in edgeways, he just went on and on."
"I know what you mean, he rang me a week ago and at one point I put the phone down to go to the toilet and when I got back he was still talking."

And so on.

Gordon?
Gordon, you staring at me again....*blush*

As if that wasn't hint enough for you

 

[el Chi]

Hence the speculation...

No, its just a hint they didnt implement animated eyelids in that version for Gordon.
