Apparently after the progress bar completed it provided them a tool to decrypt the code on the other login (dratmann / h0nee).

It linked to an image that hinted (very faintly) at the possibility of co-op gameplay:

From here: https://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=904084

By the way, they have already created a forum section for Portal 2 on the Steam forums :smiley: .

EDIT: Other people think the “co-op” actually refers to the ARG, as in the cooperation shown by people to solve it. More images showing “Co-op Initiative Completed” or something of the sort were found, backing that up.

#322

could mean both?

#323

The GameInformer’s website on Portal 2 shows HL2:Ep3 concept art at the top…

#338

or, IT could be the Rat Man from Portal 1? He was a test subject that escaped, you see his scribbling all around APSCI

#339

They wouldn’t use Doctors as test subjects.

It said on a previous page that (I’m not sure if it was fake), that they use homeless, hobos, mentally handicapped people, etc. People that won’t complain if they’re given food.

You could be right though, a Doctor can be driven to insanity.

Unless it’s D.Ratmann… :hmph:

My brain can’t deal with this logical puzzle.

#340

It isn’t a Dr I don’t think.

“The Ratman is a character from Portal who, although not actually seen in-game, leaves cryptic messages and helpful directions in his wake.”
“All of what is known about the Ratman’s character is revealed in his den in Test Chamber 17”
