Petrol’s pretty fucking volatile, if you spilt it on bitumen that’s been in the sun all day it’d evaporate within seconds.

Mmmmmmmmmm. Gasoline Fumes.

gordan freemen is best no matter you sayin

[Soup]

Gordan Freemen does not exist.

Gordon does.

[Steppenwolf]

I think Maxey is aware of that

I can think of several crashed joops in Surface Tension, but none in any of the other sections of the game.

Few outdoor areas are a mile underground.

Dunno, I heard about this one cave somewhere in South America…

Will there be special crates for supplies like in Half-Life 2 or will it be like in Half-Life that you have to break every single crate to check whether there is something useful stuff in it?

@Mr. Someguy

In HL we see a Military Cargo Truck (2 M35 Cargo Trucks judging by BM Screenshots) right outside the Lambda Complex, but no Soldiers. I think we should find the area littered with Military Corpses.

That failed. Somehow I connected these two posts.

I hope it’ll remain like in HL1, that way it’s a surprise

[JeffMOD]

I think it’s not going to be…
I wish it was, at least for some, because I want to have a reason to actually break the tarp crates- The tarps look fun, and I want to play with them!

I would like to see a clear, starry night sky on the outside portion of On A Rail. It would look much cooler than the originals’ cloudy blue skybox, especially with that desert backdrop. Definitely would make for a cool, memorable atmosphere, especially with the whole cosmic theme.

sort of what i mean, but maybe darker

[Mr_Someguy]

Agreed, that would be beautiful.

No we don’t.

Seconded.

[Spycrabz]

Thirded.

[Artic_Xiongmao]

Fourth…ed?

[JeffMOD]

Add me to that night sky petition as well.
It should look similar too this (improved) HL skybox, only better.

(I brightened it a bit so it could be seen more easily outside of the game, ingame it looks quite natural, but it was just a bit too dark for showing it.)

[Vortress]

I’m not sure if this is considered minor, but…
How about reskinning the vortigaunts to look more like they did in HL1 (brown and proportioned differently). Maybe larger and brighter slave collar/bracelets? In the very least, fade or rid of that yellow pupil.
Even then, I think the HL2 vortigaunts look better than in the Episodes.
But maybe that’s just me.
