who thinks time travel would be great in a hl game?

[COLOR=‘Red’]Topic, faggots.

The topic IS for faggots.

It’s a dumb idea, I don’t know why you just wouldn’t want to finish the episode trilogy.

I agree with the thread ruining guy fawkes dude.

While time travel on a large scale probably wouldn’t work out too well, I wouldn’t mind a micro-journey, such as sending yourself back 1 hour into the past so you can (for lack of a better term) play Co-op with yourself or, take another objective so the original you can proceed, or even set up something for a future runthrough of that level. Think Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure near the end where they’re in the police station and keep reminding themselves “okay, remember the trash can” and such. I wouldn’t exactly ask Valve for it, but I wouldn’t really mind a second Gordon giving support fire to Gordon main or going to deactivate a generator so the original can get into a room.

A cool idea could even be a modified Portal Gun device that punches a hole through time AND space, though for a very limited time, allowing for some puzzles that require you to time and control two Gordons to activate two switches or a boss that requires you to hit two weak points at once (though that sort of gameplay sounds more like the territory of Portal 2, minus the shooting things part).

It’s not great, but I’m not against the concept of time travel in Half Life, just against its implementation over a large gulf of time.

Your post is filled with time paradoxes

I think you ripped the space-time continuum apart, good job >=(

T-rex was a predator:if it was a scavenger then why would it have eyes that looked forward,ears that heared from 5 miles away and feet that could have sensed vibration.

back to topic:[COLOR=‘Red’]NO TIME TRAVEL!

The capabilities of its senses are pretty much speculation… unless I missed an entire branch of science that deals with reconstructing nervous systems of prehistoric beasts

well…let`s just say you missed.also:I read some article on a website about dinosaurs from last year where was written they reconstructed the nervous system of T-rex.

but lets get back to topic or Raw_Bean gets mad!

also:theres a BIG difference between timetravel and teleportation.the fact that the teleportation was took about a week doesnt change anything.as a reminder:Half-life is about teleportation,AND NOT ABOUT TIMETRAVEL if it wasnt clear enough.we dont need another Timesplitters.

Yes it does. If you go from one point in space, to another, with time changing for the outside world and not for the thing being teleported, it’s time travel. And there’s no proof it can’t ever be done the other way around. In fact it might have already happened in Half-Life when you fought the Nihilanth.

How so? With the Nihilanth, I mean. I don’t remember any time traveling (but it’s been a while since I beat HL).

If time travel was implemented in a way similar to the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy, that could be a very interesting gameplay mechanic, especially in conjunction with the gravity and/or portal guns.

I think time travel could have already happened because of the way you hear the scientist test chamber dialogue echo before going into the portal before the Nihilanth.

Then there’s the Borealis vanishing for an unknown length of time, and reappearing in a totally different location, much like Gordon did.

And let’s not forget Gman stopping time at the end of HL2.

but since you cant time travel into the future as it still has to happen its not technically time traveling

and stopping the time is NOT timetraveling and as far as Borealis goes:theres a bigger chance it just teleported in a short period of time and not found until half life 2 episode 1,rather then a very long time.it just doesnt fit in the half life world

Controlling gravity, time and space is pretty overkill… How could you not kick the ass of entire species with that kind of power? :smiley:
Add some noodle cooking skills to that, and you’re invincible.

^agree (yeah!woohoo!madmax!yeah!everyone applaud!i am so awesome!yeah!)

You know quite alot about the space-time continuum and it’s boundaries. Considering that you are just a puny human.

who said I was human

Manbearpig? :fffuuu:

Technically speaking, everyone is time-traveling into the future at same basic speed. It takes approximately 86,400 seconds to time-travel to one day in the future. Other forms of time travel, however, such as those seen in stories (instananeously such as “Back to the Future” or gradual such as “Time Machine”), however, require other methods. In fact, all you need to do is to move very fast and you can time-travel into the future at a greater speed than your (virtually) stationary counterparts (if you can get moving so fast that you’re approaching the speed of light, if you return, you can find that, while not much time has passed for you, a great amount of time has passed for your point of origin – “Flight of the Navigator”).

Backwards time travel (into the past), though, has its problems.

Basically what you’re doing is taking my evidence, covering your ears and going “La-La-La I can’t hear you”

Orwellian-style dictators on monitors spewing propaganda also probably doesn’t “fit in the half life world” by your “logic.”
