Sure it is a very nice beginning but after seeing it a few times, there won't be many WOW factors at the beginning when you play it. It wasn't really a smart move from Valve, It would be much better if they didn't show it so that you can see it for the first time when you play it. What do you think?
Why did Valve spoil the beginning?

Because the rest of the game packs sufficient wow, I guess.
They gave away the first beginning too, but no-one really minded.

Half-Life, and the expansions that have followed it each have a pattern to the beginning.
You travel inside some vehicle towards your destination while the credits roll on the screen.
Then, after some time, you pass in and out of consiousness.
Finally awaking to have discovered that all hell has broken loose and the rampage of killings begins.
It was only logical that they would again follow this pattern. It is one of the staples to the series. But they were smart in not showing the actual train ride or the interrogatons that would follow.

it wouldve been way cooler if they didnt spoil the begining and it would be cool to see the beginning cause it was practically the same as hl1.

I have a feeling there'll be a whole lot more happening at the beginning of the game than what we've seen.

I'm sure there will be a lot of scenery to look at on the ride to the train station; maybe some interesting scenery that makes you go "hmmmm".

Im betting that the begginning will be that you are on the train ride, then you arrive, trainstation video area ensues...
then when you get to the room with the bloody chair, something, somehow, knocks you out.
Cue the Gman with his "Rise and shine... Mr. Freeman... rise and.. shine." line.
Lemme know what you think :afro:

no more talk about that room ;D
I think it would be creepy if you "woke up" on the train across from a sitting Gman. He talks to you then gets up and leaves.
I don't know.
I can't imagine there's gameplay before teh train sequence, what's the 15 min of gameplay remark based on?

Actually the concern you mention regarding seeing the beginning is something that crossed my mind too and got me thinking. Would valve be so sneaky as to let us see a false beginning? That way we start off on the train and begin running around the carriage like we did in the first one, just waiting to get to city 17. However, half-way there, all hell breaks loose as the train is assaulted and we are left running for our lives. That would be a nice twist.

i personally loved the hl1 beginning, and hope they simply follow suit. your listening to the voice giving instructions, while simple text is shown to you. i think it was just like:
Gordon Freeman
"something" scientist
"wherever he got his degree from"
if someone could fill in that poor example, be my guest

I think it was more of a "What would spoil the least?" decition. I highly doubt you'll mind that you've seen if before when you actually play the game. Actually, you won't.

I think that's not the whole train ride but just the end of it. I suppose it should be as lenghty as that one in HL1. We might see the landscape around and some of the City 17 as we proceed into the center of the city. At least I hope it would be so. I think VALVe won't let us down.

As somebody who's played through the trainstation in the Alpha, I can assure you that the supposed spoiler is not true.
Any way, I'm pretty sure the beginning hasn't been given away. I saw no opening credits or anything, so I think you can at least count on another train ride. Plus, there's probably a butt load more than what we saw. FFS, it was two minutes long.

That other guy just wants to make you think it is.

I never understood that also :O

Well, they did let the whole HL2 storyline leak in cs:s files, so that caused me to not be 100 % in believing they don't make mistakes
