who's in that helicoptor??

[B_MAN]

just finished watching the e3 vid again
came to wonder... it seems like gordon is chasing whoever is in that helicoptor, rather than the helicoptor chasing gordon
any thoughts? :imu:

 

[Lucifer Crass]

Probably a combie due to the fact that they all want him dead.

 

[myth]

it might be an unmanned chopper....

 

[ShadowBlade]

The chopper was dropping mines, not much point in dropping them behind him.

 

[Silent-]

the chopper looked human designed not combine (them and their freaky architecture ) so maybe the chopper belongs to City 17 Administration?

 

[ShadowBlade]

Or it maybe that the mantas can only carry a light weapon load cos they ae so manoeuvrable so the combine need to use more basic technologies for tasks such as dropping mines and bombs.

 

[Dougy]

Who knows....

Maybe Gordon leaves the resistance becuase "one sides wrong and the others spectacularly wrong" and they are the guys in the chopper.

or maybe its a Human Led Army that are like the marines in HL, they are trying to kill every1 incase something gets away....

we just dont know.

I think the alien gunship(manatee lookin thing) belongs to the xen and the combine get the chopper it makes more sense, i guess i could picture the alien gunship flying around xen or something, reminds me of the manta ray alien ships from HL1.

 

[Adios amigos]

The chopper is combine (i think) cause the APC´s arent fireing rockets at it and the APC are combine for sure!

 

[Adios amigos]

Isent it obivious that the chopper is dropping mines.....? Just like Shadowblade said:

The chopper was dropping mines, not much point in dropping them behind him.

 

[<RJMC>]

maybe the gunship is the heavy armored flying vehicle and the chopper the light faster flying vehicle

 

[Crushenator 500]

i dont think you all got the point, he's tryig to say that we all think that the heli's chasing gordon, but it could be that gordon's chasing the heli. personally, i dont know, since ive got the crappy 39mb version, and its not on that, but ive seen the full one at my friends once, so cant remember properly.

 

[B_MAN]

its possible that its fleeing because its been hit by machine gun fire
or perhaps its flying away to escape gordon altogether
cause its certainly not attacking head-on

 

[ShadowBlade]

I was mostly thinking that the AI may have thought "right Ive got some big juicy mines and hes in an ikul hovercraft.. ill see if he chases me so I can lob them in his path." corse maybe hes just a coward.

 

[Dougy]

Umm just so you know the chopper is not in anyway fleeing from a hovercraft.

the chopper would merely have to turn and go straight ahead becuase Gordon is confined to a canal system.

So unless the pilot is retarded and only fly's above water He is trying to kill gordon.

And Destroyers in WW2 had to get infront of Submarines to drop deapth charges so thats what you are seeing when the chopper drops mines.

 

[Scapegoat]

Uhh, when it's flying away, wasn't it's left wing on fire = tactical retreat?

And dropping mines to lost Gordon, so they don't go kaboom?

 

[ShadowBlade]

Yea Gordon shot one of the mines before it cleared the chopper so it damaged its left side.

 

[Dead-Inside]

Did ANY of you notice the left engine is in full flames? Well, not engine, but wing.

Edit: It's also not flying straight, as if it's controls are severly damaged.
