The Official Half-Life 2 Thread

[lord_spaceman]

Such an excellent game deserves a good thread, don't you think ? Here are some questions to kick off the thread...

Questions
1. How do you think it's all going to end ?
2. Who is the GMan and why is he so 'obsessed' with Gordon Freeman ?
3. Do you think many of the story elements will be cleared up by Half-Life 2: Episode Three ?
4. Will there be a Half-Life 3 ?
5. When do you think they will make a Half-Life movie ?

My answers
1. By Mr Freeman killing the GMan's boss (who ever that is)
2. He is like an 'Agent in The Matrix', trying to keep Freeman from finding the truth. I believe he is working for a company/person we haven't seen yet.
3. No - I think we will have to wait a couple of years.
4. Yes, there has to be.
5. When a good script comes along. I reckon it will have to be split into a (at the moment) 2 part movie.

so till how many episodes will valve keep miking this game? they are sounding worse than EA with their expansion packs!

i am hoping for a resumé of the episodes to hit the X360 next year which at least will be a tad cheaper and more bug free than what it is now.

Um... forgive my ignorance, but shouldn't this thread have been started about 18 months ago?

Ignorance forgiven . You see, Half-Life 2 is now going to becoming out in a new episodic format. There will be three new episodes (only 2 left remaining) that will expand the story line and more than likely lead the way to Half-Life 3.

didn't realyl enjoy E1 so much - to many antlions and zombies - not enough actual combat. Found the AI of the combine pretty poor after playing FEAR.

Looks great though
