Half-Life 3 Probable Storyline

Half-Life Series
#101

^

The problem with adding GlaDOS or anything concerning the Portal is that it could fit anywhere within the large continuity that is between Half-Life and Half-Life 2. I would prefer that ValVe save more revealings of GlaDOS for Portal 2, unless of course that turns out to be a prequel game to Portal as suspected.

Getting “more down to Earth” in Half-Life 3 would definitely be going against the current of where the series is going, to me all evidence is pointing towards an even more epic entry into the continuity what with the Vortigaunts hinting at Gordon’s larger destiny. Then there’s G-Man now without control of Gordon, will perhaps resort to renegging on the restrictions of his powers/abilities in order to ensure that things happen as he wants them to.

Basically, I just don’t see it being a down to Earth story.

I’ve always wanted to see Valve put together a skyscraper chapter. Tall buildings and high rises. An apocalyptic setting of course. I think that would be amazing in HL3 somehow.

#103

Yet again im to late to forward my suggestions!

#104

i think that might happen in episode 3 because if you look at the concept art the borealus looks like its on the side of a mountain and u have to climb through combine buildings and beams to get there

in HL3 we dont even know where it will take place really. my guess would be that ep3 you drive the combine back HL3 is on the combine planet and u have to destroy the generator of the heart like in ep1, kinda like what interloper said

#105

Dude, Ep3 is the end of the Combine story arc. Don’t make this go full circle plz :stuck_out_tongue:

#106

Im gonna make an usumption here that the combine are the earth human elements of a larger coalition. I really do think were going to there home land or some where else alien perhaps the vortigaunts home world to free them (that is if it still exsists) they could be usefull.

and valve always push to imporve the fps medium Hl2 brought physics so I expect another revolution maybe with portals but proberly not
one thing for definate is that those guys dont just on sit thier arse.

#107

yeah probably valve is good with adding things to the FPS aspect as we saw with portal, L4D showed us teamwork was vital (and awesome) so i bet theres going to be something in HL3 that will just completely fuck with our minds, (off topic a second her) if u really want a game that fucks with your head… go buy bioshock off steam for like 15-20$ i think, its such a good game and it fucks with your mind u jsut have to play it 2-3 times to fully understand everything and then after playing the first read description for the second one and u will feel the NEED to go buy it

BoT now

#108

Has anyone thought that HL2 franchise is ending because VALVe wants to make a new game engine? Still, I’ll play HL3 when it comes out, even if its completely random stuff

#109

probably lol jsut to see the new engine that they use

#110

They wanted episodic content right?

What about the 7 Hour War?

7 Hour War = 7 hour game

#111

already smoked , 7 hour war =game , you want to play 7 hour game in which you get whoppass’d by 10x combines then humans?

#112

Combine soldiers probably wouldn’t be in it because they’re transformed humans, seeing as how there’s the whole combine bed thing, I doubt that it’s something that could be done that fast.

If a seven hour war game was seven hours long, it would have to have some type of time constraint like in Dead Rising. Compared to the other half-life games where time depends on chapter. Then there’s the whole problem of having the player not finishing every objective quickly and just wait around for the ending.

The other big problem is that it has a lame ending. Cities are overtaken by the combine, and the people flee into the cities to escape the xen creatures. Games where you loose or die as the ending, are usually unsatisfying.

#113

you could play as the priest :-?

#114

lol that would be pretty cool but i agree with him i wouldent like a game like that i think its just going to take place some time after ep3

#115

Anyone notice how in Episode 2 at the bunker with the Gnome and Alyx talks to Eli that the Combine helicopter familiarly sounds like the portal robot… Plus the borealis has labeled aperture science on the side… Just throwing that out there… Yea. Crab cakes…

#116

that gnome u can take from the bunker and if u put it in the rocket u unlock the achievement send the gnome into space… -.- took me so amny trys to do it cause i kept loseing the gnome

#117

Chya, I know. The first time I actually launched it, I didn’t get the achievement. So, I drug him across a second time. -_-
Anything for the achievement I guess.
Oh, I predeict the gnome will be in the 3rd one.
And if he’s in the background of a T.V. screen of Kliener talking to Gordan,
THEN I SO TOLD YOU SO!

#118

#120

Oh, he’s talking about the Combine Dispatcher? I wondered what he meant by “talking helicopter.”
