[15357]

[CrazyHarij]

LOL, sorry for messing up the numbers, I must've been really tired when I wrote that :D

I've fixed it now together with most of your posts to bring it back to normal.

[Urbanebula]

88) Better physics. (why include a console comand to make ragdolls collide but not have in initiated in the first place.)

89) Solid ragdoll bodies (I want to shoot the corpse of my downed enemies and not have them falling thorugh crates and the like. I've seen better examples of collision in FarCry Grrr.)

[el Chi]

29) Patrick Moore as an NPC, with Xylophone accompanimentSomeone give that man a medal and all the gold he can eat! Bravo sir! I hope Valve're listening, it'd be the best cameo ever.

[Loke]

90.) A little more challenging perhaps (like the combine can take several more hits before dieing, like the military grunts in Half-Life).

[Jintor]

91) Cameos of famous people and/or references to other computer games

92) More ways to kill enemies using physobjects.

93) Ospreys. Love the things. Don't know why.

94) Absurd Teleporter accidents galore!

95) Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots of movie sequences. That is to say, sequences that play like a movie.

96) City 17... or 18... or whatever... as a fully modelled city, with fire-fights everywhere and anywhere. And more resistance bases.

[CrazyHarij]

So, are we going to stop once the 100 limit is reached? Or should I change the title to 200-1000?

[Edcrab]

Just keep it at 100- it'll confuse people. MWAHAHAHHA.

97) More infantry variety (in their weapon loadouts and types)

98) Spreading fire. It'll be near impossible to add it (or rather bring it back from all accounts) but hey...

And I'll leave the last two to whoever wants to make history! Or at least another post.

[DEATH eVADER]

99) have all the technology that TES: Oblivion has

i.e.

Speedtree
Bump/Paralax/Specular mapping on almost all surfaces

[Noobulon]

100) All Of The Above!

:P

[el Chi]

101) Dalmations.

[Edcrab]

102) A direct reference to el Chi. As in, "Gordon, I'd come with you, but we're desperately trying to reinsert Chi's sense of humour". :P

103) Not souping up regular Combine personnel, as I found them to be just right- HL grunts were so tough it was simply daft. Of course, because the current ones are perfect "normal" infantry it wouldn't rule out the possibility of tougher variants being introduced... *remembers orange-eyed dude in screenshot*

[Lamer]

104) a great return to black mesa

[el Chi]

102) A direct reference to el Chi. As in, "Gordon, I'd come with you, but we're desperately trying to reinsert Chi's sense of humour". :P"Gordon, I'd give you your crowbar but I'm not finished battering el Chi to death. It's more than he deserves, to be honest."

105) Some people who AREN'T American. We are in Eastern Europe, after all.

106) A satisfactory intro. I've got no idea how it's going to work - presumably you're NOT going to start with your HEV suit charged to 200, with a blue grav gun. So, what's going on?

107) Slightly better squad AI. "Sure I'll follow you Dr. Freeman! Say, what's that blue laser coming from the win-" Moron.

[Edcrab]

I'd kill to be mentioned in one of Valve's games, even in the context of being a mutilated loser. Seriously.

105) Is a good point, as Grigori was the only notable European. Fanfics have pushed plenty of Germans and Russians etc. into the Cities, but mostly it seems to be US immigrants populating the places...

107) Also gets my backing, but mostly just to stop them trying to pen me in doorways, which happened once or twice (but not half as often as it must've done for others).

And my own point: 108) Letting you retain the super-charged suit and gravitygun, with the twist that they steadily lose power until you leave the Citadel or a particular part of the Citadel. Or something. It'd be the best explanation as to why you lose it, in my personal view...

[aquabelic]

109) More areas featuring the City 17 rural and urban areas, which bring on the really down mood.

Also, it'd give a much-needed Earth vs. the Combine feel, rather than just Iowa vs the Combine.

108) is an interesting idea, and probably the best explanation, as you said.

[The Monkey]

110) Adrian Shepard. Maybe you see him without he knowing, maybe you fight with him. It's up to Valve.

[Mith']

111) Some crazy dancing by the Gman..

[Samon]

112) Dr. Breen
113) Surviving
114) Or a gruesome death

[Beerdude26]

112) Large amounts of pie, preferably apple

[Sufferin-rebel]

113: Gordon gets naked as well as Alyx and we see Hardcore pr0n First person view from Gordons Perspetive :P

[Wilsonator]

114) Updated Aftermath Multiplayer
115) A flying vehicle

124) Proof that the Combine never knew about Xen before the events of HL2.
125) Biozeminades

-Angry Lawyer

[Dabs]

127 - A friendlier experience with Steam in getting it up and running for the first time.
128 - More alien and/or original weapons.
129 - A slightly wider variety of locations, if possible.
130 - A few out of many of the things that were missed out from HL2 and documented in Raising the Bar, e.g. Stalkers, The Air Exchange Plant.
131 - More character interaction.
132 - Fewer vehicle-centred sections.

[lemmingzappa]

133. 70+ hours gameplay mwhaha

[Ravioli]

134. More new areas of sweden, (sence it takes place there "patrol station" )

135. Snow

136. A huge big battle with SCRIPTED SCENSE. We do NOT want to see people just standing there dying. We want them to cry, run, scream, take cover....

[Mith']

137) Enemy model variation
138) More physics objects that can kill enemies.
139) More exploding barrel skins!

[Loke]

145.) Co-op
146.) A scene were a Gargantua ripping a Strider to pieces
147.) Barney getting raped by a headcrab

[MarcoPollo]

148)A dead Alyx. Serioulsy I hate her sooo much.

[Insano]

149) G-Man is in love with Barney! How will it continue...

[Icarusintel]

148)A dead Alyx. Serioulsy I hate her sooo much.
yeah, mossman's hotter, and she has the whole, older woman of science thing going for her, and who doesn;t like that?

[MarcoPollo]

yeah, mossman's hotter, and she has the whole, older woman of science thing going for her, and who doesn;t like that?

And she doesn't make you lose the game if she dies.

[halflifeguy]

150: More disaster seens (a la the scene from OP4 when ur in a room and the radioactive sludge is rising and there is no way out.) Maybe you could be flying a helicopter with barney and a combine gunship could shoot you down.................you could make up the rest.........

[Gorgon]

Alyx in the shower. or at least Alyx in a Bikini

[Angry Lawyer]

Mossman explaining the whole Combine-Xen unrelated thing topless.

-Angry Lawyer

[Mith']

Mossman explaining the whole combine-xen related thing topless, then be shoot by Alyx in a bikini because she hates people who can't decide...

[Icarusintel]

mossman and alyx making out... then having sex
edit: and they would need a fap button

[Jandor]

I guess ill vote for the Immolator

Scab-bab-bab-bo-bibbly-bibbly-bibibilly-bilbilbilybily-ba-be-be-bop... I'M THE SCATMAN!
Whos the scatman? Im the scatman

[Garfield_]

All im asking for is a long game, as long as Half Life was. HL2 took about two days to go through ;/

[DEATH eVADER]

Longer view distance (3D skyboxes do not apply)

Stitching levels together like in TES: MW and Oblivion

[kupocake]

Whos the scatman? Im the scatman
I think i'm on to something with the whole GMAN = Scatman thing personally. See:

"Everybody Stutters one way or the other so check out message to you
as a matter of fact, there ain't nothing to hold you back
if the Scatman can do it - so can you!

Everybody says that the Scatman stutters but he doesn't ever stutter when he sings.
Well what you don't know I'm gonna tell you right now:
That the stutter and the Scat are the same for you, I'm the Scatman!"

[Noobulon]

"Sure I'll follow you Dr. Freeman! Say, what's that blue laser coming from the win-"

:laugh: Yes, that bloody well needs fixing

yeah, mossman's hotter

LIES.

[Jandor]

"Everybody Stutters one way or the other so check out my message to you
as a matter of fact, there ain't nothing to hold you back
if the G-Man can do it - so can you!

Well what you don't know I'm gonna tell you right now:
That the stutter and the Scat are the same for you, I'm the G-man!"

I once was blind but now I see :)

[Jintor]

What are we up to?

155) Making me care that rebels are dying left right and centre. Revenge AI. More battle cries.

156) More EMOTIONAL music.

157) More CLASSICAL music. Prefereably by Bond (guess what band/strings quartet + backups i like?)

[nutcrackr]

158) More empowerment
159) More fecking ammo
160) Bullsquid!

[Styloid]

161) more time in one area to really get the feel of it (like HL1) instead of too much jumping around.
162) more natural feeling time (HL2 was 3 playable days in 20 hrs). Maybe only one day with 10 hours (don't make the sun set so quickly).
163) more time with characters and more lines to react to player actions (like pushing down Kleiner's monitor in the old vids)
164) more exploration

[el Chi]

163) more time with characters and more lines to react to player actions (like pushing down Kleiner's monitor in the old vids)161) In a way I know what you mean, but then I thought the variation was a good thing - it meant that the different areas had some good variety and could generally by easily recognisible.

162) Meh, so what. The bits at night were very atmospheric - Nova Prospekt wouldn't have been half as good during the day, nor would Ravenholm. And the third day is sort of allowable because it was about a week later. Besides, HL1 had a similarly questionable time-frame.

[Wolfy Snackrib]

A naked Alyx! :bounce:

[el Chi]

I almost hope Valve DO put in a naked Alyx - maybe then people'll shut up and get on with "polluting themselves".

[B-MAn]

165) A high detail Gargantua!

166) Keeping the music playin longer than 20seconds...just when it gets going the cut it off

[DrDevin]

167) No stuttering
168) No memory errors
169) No updates reducing framerates to 10
170) Another sweet crane and a longer time to use it to smack people and pick up stuff

[Phat-t]

82. headcrabbed gorilla (no real reason why, gordon can visit a shelled zoo i guess)

haha that would be so good. Imagine a whole broken down, head-crabbed zoo! How about a whole elephant covered in poison headcrabs as the boss?

[Styloid]

Yeah I know what you're saying on both accounts, but I was more thinking that HL2 forgot some of the things that made HL1 good. I think Valve wanted to keep 'simple' gameplay to a minimum-- you walk in a room, there's a bullsquid and you shoot it. This kind of gameplay, to me, worked well in HL1 (that kept it fresh and interesting) because

1. it slowed down the pace of the game when needed 2. badguys weren't very challenging, you focused more on the environment and atmosphere (devs themselves can focus on environment instead of combat) 3. finding badguys (mainly aliens and zombies) wandering around added to the atmosphere (especially if they were doing some scripted event) 4. it is a positive way to make the game last longer 5. it covers #161 and #162 on my list-- more time in one place (doesn't have to mean less variety), time can move slower (time of day in each area remains the same, just more time in each area-- I just think that it's important for the player to *feel* like the time is real).

I definitely think HL2's non-stop action pace was fun but it would have been nice to see it mixed with what was established in HL1. Of course this might be unrealistic since it is a huge demand from the developers to pack in so much content. Also, simple gameplay might be getting phased out in favour of more complicated styles (non-linear, stealth, vehicles, squads, etc).

[MikeL15]

171) More explanation on what Lamda, blue shift, teliportation, and other science stuff in the game, really have to do with the game itself. I can figure out most of what it means but it doesnt really tell you that much. Its like having a game based on airplanes, but you never get to fly an airplane in the game. Get what I mean?

172) Explain a little more about G-man, Combine, etc but without revieling too much. Also, making you want a little more explanation, but not too much.

Think about it, if HL2:AM told about all the secrets and and answered all the questions, then what would be the use of another game? Also, you wouldnt have anything to look forward to really. I find all the mysteries of HL/HL2 really interesting and its fun trying to find out more about them.

[Lahire149]

173) a real release date

[el Chi]

174) A trust system. This ties in with the whole friendly fire idea, except with consequences. Say you have one resistance ally with you and you kill them, no-one's really going to know, so you can pretty much do that with no repercussions. Two or more however, and one will try and radio for help or just to let people know "Freeman's gone crazy!" or something. Unless you can kill them before they get a chance, or make it look like an accident or like Combine fire (although that would be far harder to implement). If people get warned once, then the resistance fighters trust you far less and are less likely to follow your commands. Twice and they're likely to actively attack you in order to defend themselves, although if there are Combine troops around, they'll attack them first. If you fight WITH them against Combine in those situations (or maybe kill enough troops that it seems less likely you're againt the resistance) you regain people's trust. If you get to three, or attack a main character, not even Alyx or Barney will trust you: Game over, man.

[DoctorWeeTodd]

175) A command to make your NPC squad STAY at an area! Instead of always following you and engage the enemy like retards. Something in the vein of SWAT 4 only simpler.

[Defpotec22]

no thanks

[MikeL15]

no thanks
Heh... 2nded

And most games already have that anyway. Exept maybe not as detailed, but generally, thats what they have.

And it wouldnt fit into HL2 anyway. You are supposed to be like all high and mighty, so the trust system just wouldnt work out well. And theyd have to do some more work on the AI and all that. But its a good idea, but not for this game...

[Defpotec22]

176. lamarr vs. predator

[boystupid]

177 - A combine who can shoot stright :E

[Spectre01]

178. Dual Wielding Gravity Guns.

[doomed14life]

179. a plot twist that no one would expect (gman is lamar) ;-)

[Edcrab]

But The Thing was annoying on a different level, which effectively ruined the "trust" system's ambience and effectiveness. For example- those test kits were useless. You could use them on a teammate, find that they're not The Thing, and then they'll turn out to be one anyway when you trigger a setpiece, simply because the developerss must have thought it'd be dramatic and atmospheric.

I don't really think such an advanced trust system is necessary, although I'd half-welcome the return of friendly fire.

[JoeCLawrence]

180. AI that detects line of fire. It looked really stupid to see a Combine soldier walk fight in the shots fired by another soldier, and it was really annoying to have a resistance guy walk in front of you right as you fire a rocket.

Other games could attempt something similar and take note of previous attempts and then get it right.

[bvasgm]

181. A beginning, that doesn't compleatly ruin the ending of HL2.

Haha... I remember seeing a metrocop get runned over by his own APC when I was screwing around instead of running across the rooftops. And about the friendly fire thing...you have no idea how many times I wanted to just kill my own team when they ran into a rocket...which would injure you but not them!

[Letterhead]

193. Wagner's music playing during the game. I want to fight Combine to "Ride of the Valkyries."
194. Vehicle levels that aren't strictly linear, where you can choose not to use the vehicle and, if you do use the vehicle, there are multiple pathways.
195. More indoor, Black Mesa-esque environments. Closer quarters, flickering lights, and struggling for your life. I loved Nova Prospekt, but it was just one level, and it was a bit too big, an indoor sectionof the game reminiscent of Half-Life 1 would be great.

[French Ninja]

196)Overwatch soldiers(at least Metrocops) rebel and help resistance members. :angel:
197)Resistance Vorts fight Combine Controlled Vorts in hand to hand combat! :naughty:

[Marx! II]

198. Some Bach too. Suite for orchestra #3 in D major during a giant Combine/Xen streetfight would rule so much.

[Kouler]

199. A VERY big explosion occuring some time in the game

200. A huge scale battle (be it ground or aerial)

[Nephtis]

Where we conclude that 100 wasen't the max.
201. Kobolds and Goblins.

[Zaphod_]

202) Marines that feel smart and badass like the ones in HL1, rather than ones which just stand there shooting you and ducking and die in a few measly shots.

The Opposing Force marines rocked... some of the battles with them were just brilliant. Not so with HL2, where the battles with the Combine were rarely as cool as the more 'wow factor' Strider battles (which lose their novelty fast).

203) Striders that actually USE their blue laser cannon thingo against you.

209) i want the flight from city 17 to be the craziest, coolest, and most havoc filled sequence in gaming history. the rebels/combine/xen aliens/anything outside the "safety" of the city all fighting as they escape from the citadel.

210) The Citadel to fall over, annihilating several square miles of terrain and causing a boom so huge tremors can be felt on the other side of the world.

Yeah.

realistically:
222) Synths
223) Combine containment squads (aka death squads)
224) Cremators (included in death squads)
225) Assains (DS)
226) Some friendly combine within c17 who are now under their own contorl and are one of the targets of the death squads (if that works with the story)
227) Mass rebel and combine exit from c17 trying to get out and away from the citadel
228) Antlion hive

wOoT !! too that . Errrrr.... I have no life.

:imu:

[Oyaji291]

252) a cyborg that goes back in time to try and kill Gordon's Mother and Father, and a heroic Black Mesa Security Guard to follow the cyborg and stop it.

[alan8325]

I'm sure most of these have been said. I'll just reinforce them.

253) non-linear large levels
254) more vehicles
255) gibs/dismemberment with enemies other than zombies
256) killable allies with a mission failure system similar to HL1 for critical allies
257) NPCs riding vehicles with you operating weapons, etc.
258) enemies on foot who are able to operate nearby vehicles (could create some situations where if you approach them stealthily, you can kill them before they have time to get in)
259) more alien allies
260) more usable alien weapons
261) more dynamic damage modeling on large vehicles and enemies like the Strider. Doesn't quite look right when they take so many hits while operating just as well as when they took none and then collapsing all of a sudden. It's like this in every game though, so may not be possible yet. Also it would be cool if you could take out just one of their legs and watch them topple over!

[Rennmniscant]

So much for 10 things...

262)More synth battles
263)More scenery variation... a forest anyone?
264)More large-scale epic battles
265)Already said, but better storyline

[Barney_Calhoun]

266) Barney Calhoun shouting "Eat this you BASTARD!" Like in Uplink :)

[Mevoki]

267: A large scale aerial combat while you're fighting combine forces on the ground together with the resistance

[gabriel]

Why would they not have this in the game:

http://www.hlfallout.net/media/albums/conceptart/normal_prowler.jpg

It looks like it would crawl around on walls and cielings and stuff. I can just imagine walking into a dark room and turning on the flashlight to see one of these things on the wall ready to attack.

I say they need to put the prowler (and the hydra as well) in aftermath.

They are in the game ;) (sort of)

That originally had the exact same AI as the fast zombie, but somewhere in developement they decided to drop it and move its AI onto the FZ.

really? that's pretty cool. looking at the picture, i dont imagine them moving around like the FZ though. I think they should add them in as kind of a fast leaping creature that clings to walls and maybe sprays something at you. cus they look too damn cool to be left out! :D

Valve will have thier reasons, they do for everything ;)

[Shadow112090]

268) more scenes with "oh my god what is THAT!" i would love that. a more creepy atmosphere and stuff

[eber]

1. omfg whew where the **** where all the xenians in hl2 , i really missed them . so more xen aliens (unchanged xen aliens) !!!! (bullsquids, houndeyes,alien grunts gargantulas etc.)
2. rechange the new xenian models to the original ones (they where so much better)
3.alien weapons like in half-life1
4.better story,i want to know a bit more of whats going on.... (i especially want to know more about half-life1 story)
5.more and better indoorlevels, like there were in half-life1 .. i dont like those huge outdoor maps! they are crap and bad designed.
6.not such a cheap acting like in hl2 , the characters should speak like they did in hl1 it was much ore realistic. those voic actors could be from a movie .. besides i like barnys and dr kleiners voiceses , they are ok . alyxes and dr mossmans voices are shit.

[ríomhaire]

You actualy think the voice acting in HL1 was better?!
The only decent acting in HL1 was the g-man who only had to sound creepy.
In hl1 they were unimotional, their screams didn't even sound like screams, more like someone was shouting the word "AHHH"

[eber]

it was much more creepy and misterious ... they didnt act like naughty bitches making bad jokes every 15 seconds. what i mean to say is , : hey thats not half-life anymore dudes!

[Samon]

Oh Eber shut up. I can't believe you havn't grown up a bit since last year.

[Jintor]

Who is this Eber? Why did he start from 1? My head is exploding again.

Yarrr.

[gabriel]

im sure this has been said before, but i want to see some vortigaunts get into the action!

[Samon]

Who is this Eber? Why did he start from 1? My head is exploding again.

Yarrr.

Because Eber is a total tosspot and has been since the day he joined.

[eber]

im sure this has been said before, but i want to see some vortigaunts get into the action!
yep i also want that , but i also want them to rechange the vortigauntmodel.

[Samon]

yep i also want that , but i also want them to rechange the vortigauntmodel.

.....It's pretty much the same. And that guy was meaning he wants them to fight alongside you and I know that you want to kill them.... :rolling:

[gabriel]

how could you kill a poor vortigaunt? they're so cuddly. haha. but yeah i want to fight along side them. that would rule

[Oyaji291]

Awww, you're such a cute vortig-*ZAP*OW! MOTHER F-*ZAP* OW!!! YOU LITTLE BASTARD! I'LL KILL-*ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP!!!* ........ *silence*

One word. Garg

[Marx! II]

I'ma have to use that.
But yeah, a giant Combine V. Xen battle would be nice, almost like you're not the center of it all.

[Samon]

Tosspots a classic!

[Anticitizen]

Don't know if this has been mentioned already (probably has), but if Valve decide to include stalkers as part of the game action... I'll have trouble with it. They look/sound worse than Xen or Xen byproducts.

[Marx! II]

I rather like the idea.
At the very least, for an enemy you can pity as well as shotgun in the face.

[Anticitizen]

That's the thing... much like with zombies. You're facing a creature that was formerly (and is still, to an extent) akin to you. But apart from that, there's the awful shrieking noises they make, and the stealth with which they'll probably move.

Good idea, yeah.

[Antlion Hunter]

269)As before some serious disconnection point counts on models that is being implemented in the new Jaws game.Human enemies in the game have over 40 different points of body part dismemeberment.PLEASEEEEEEEE GOD.Er,VALVe.

the humans in the new jaws game have 40 disconnection points? holy crap. too bad such an awesome feature is on such a terrible looking game. that would rule in hl, i'm sick of just cutting at the waist line.

[oldagerocker]

heh dont know if its been mentioned, probably has but..., 270) Super Grav Gun :cheese:

Heh, tosspot. Ebers the only person on my ignore list personally.

[Antlion Hunter]

Terrible?Please.....If youve played an early build of it you probably wouldnt say that.But yeah .And whats more insane is that Orcas and Whales have 80 freakin' disconnections.

[alan8325]

This would be pretty cool in HL, but only if it is done realistically. In games like Soldier of Fortune, the human bodies fly apart WAY too easily. It is almost as though I am shooting lego men or something. A shotgun should not blow off someone's leg at the hip. A grenade, maybe. Only in very large explosions should the parts really start to fly.

i'd just like to be able to launch a sawblade at a zombie and see it's arm or head or leg rip off instead of only it's torso.

[Jintor]

And be able to shoot a sawblade at a soldier and have him be cut in two as well?

Zombies are the only ones that can be cut in two, and as far as i remember they need seperate ragdolls for each part...

[gabriel]

ive never tried dragging a sawblade all the way out of ravenholm to shoot at a soldier. they dont get cut in half? sucky

[Antlion Hunter]

All it does is hit them and make them slam into the ground.It sucks.

[mabufo]

271) I really enjoyed the rebel base encounters throughout the game.. I would like to see more of those.. but I would also like to spend more time at them.


stay on topic people.

The molitov cocktails cut from the original game

276: Gibs.

[wolvesrdogs]

82. headcrabbed gorilla (no real reason why, gordon can visit a shelled zoo i guess)
83. cremators cleaning up the mess you made in C 17
84. a trip to africa, to see whats going down there
85. another trip to america, so we can see a headcrabbed statue of liberty
86. more characters deaths, no one died, i'm not trying to be evil, but some tear jerking death would be awesome. if anyone can make me cry during a game i'tll be valve
i said the stuff bout the crazy monkeys with headcrabs on them, dont be claiming it. Also need sniper rifle.

[wolvesrdogs]

mossman and alyx making out... then having sex
edit: and they would need a fap button :flame:
omfg u guys r sick, :flame: that just retarted,they are F####NG polygons. :flame:

[AIDisabled]

Also need sniper rifle.

That's my line! Check my siggy!

Just kidding. :)

I wonder if there's anyone who doesn't want a sniper rifle, though.

[jimmyjam]

hopwires!

[Oyaji291]

i said the stuff bout the crazy monkeys with headcrabs on them, dont be claiming it. Also need sniper rifle.


Sniper rifles would be wonderful as the crossbow is a bit shoddy to aim sometimes.

And... Half-Life 2: The All My Children saga? I wonder if valve could truly make anyone cry in their games other than with the ridiculous load times and cliffhanger ending that'll inevitably force us to buy all expansion packs and sequels from here on out.

[AIDisabled]

The only time I have come even remotely close to feeling a lump at the back of my throat playing a video game is during Thief 2.

I don't think we can ever feel that way about HL2 unless they decide to kill Barney or Alyx or... gasp, Gordon Freeman!

Note that I'm not saying that this should happen. No sir.

[Speedingorange]

house of dead style gore!

[Speedingorange]

oh and the sniper rifle with the lazer sights that you have to grenade out after raven holm

[Oyaji291]

The only time I have come even remotely close to feeling a lump at the back of my throat playing a video game is during Thief 2.

Dude.... I heart you... I heart you x10. Lemme guess, you had shivers when Viktoria died!!

Thief 2 = My favorite game of all time, even more than HL2.

[eber]

.....It's pretty much the same. And that guy was meaning he wants them to fight alongside you and I know that you want to kill them.... :rolling:
its pretty much diffrent , actually they build a whole new face .. they deleted some extra eyes they changed the mouth deleted some teeth , deformed the body made the body thinner and gave it a very diffrent voice and very diffrent movements. oh and they changed its colour from dark brown to light brown!!
i guess thats pretty much for 1 model.. :frog:

[special-ed]

Anyone know if valve is saving the character Dr. Rosenburg for future expansions or hl3, I heard they were going to scrap him but changed their minds..

[eber]

well rosenberg didnt appear in the original hl so i guess not . they dropped everything that happened in the expansions.

[special-ed]

But he was such a good character..

[eber]

i liked his model and his character seemed very pleasant , but i dont know so much about him since i only met him in blue shift . i never played decay :(

anyway , as which character do you play in decay ?

[kupocake]

anyway , as which character do you play in decay ?
Gina and Collette. Decay was made as a two player co-op add-on to the PS2 version.

[eber]

wow are there diffrent levels then in half-life ?

[kupocake]

wow are there diffrent levels then in half-life ?
Yes, though as Gearbox did with both Blue Shift and Opposing Force, you occasionally revisit areas in Half-Life for reasons of: 1) Nostalgia, 2) Developer laziness. Whilst I haven't played Decay myself, I know that the second chapter has you fighting through an alien infested Hazard Course.

Other key Half-Life moments glimpsed in Decay are:
a) Delivering the sample for Freeman in the Test Chamber (As I understand it, the "missing" HEV suits in the Anamalous Materials lab belong to the two player characters in Decay)
b) Getting launch codes or something for the Satalite rocket that Gordon later launches. Perhaps a bit of an explanation for why Gordon's job in "On A Rail" only involved the pressing of a big red button.
c) A Token G-Man sighting (TM)

It is worth mentioning that www.************** were said to be working on a version Decay for the PC (They even had Gearbox's approval). Nothing has developed on that front for a while though (Last update was in mid-March: they were 35% done.)

Edit: Do a search for "Half Life Decay Source" to find the site. hl2source has always come up censored here, though I can't tell why.

[OvA]

I never finished Decay, can anyone give me a link to the story or summarize it for me?

[v3lvetpresley]

haha that would be so good. Imagine a whole broken down, head-crabbed zoo! How about a whole elephant covered in poison headcrabs as the boss?

That, plus the gorilla, are possibly the greatest ideas I've ever heard... imagine walking through a delapidated zoo, fog, streaming across, the stumbling out of a doorway, really slowly is this massive elephant, covered in poison headcrabs... that would be terrifying....

female combine assassin!!!! We need something we WILL fear! We need that kind of challenge! Give her one very hard-hitting long range gun to make us run like hell for cover, give her lots of nades, give her superhuman agility and speed, give her the capacity to sneak up to us silently and that classic silenced automatic-firing pistol!

"converted" Combine soldiers, that, for some reason or another, joined the rebels so they can survive too?

combine zombie (is it possible anyway?)

Encounter against a tank (and the combine dropships), when we are on foot and we have/can to blow them up. A bit like HL1. It seriously lacked that in HL2 (but there was enough striders and gunships) since we were always equiped with what we needed to blow up the few tanks we saw in water canal. I would have liked so much to have to deal with a manned combine tank when i was on foot. There was also that time.. on the beach, when we got the dunebuggy we meet some combines on foot fighting antlions... and they didnt used their intact tank that was just right next to them!!

Combine snipers that we can see, and they can move. Not just that boring shoot-a-explosive-in-the-black-window-and-they-dont-run-away snipers.

Combines that dont charge to their doom, but have some sense of self-preservation and understand the simple rule that " when you are dead, you are useless, stay alive and kill THEM!"

[Samon]

Yeah it is.

I really like the zoo idea, specifically the elephant. You've fought all these zombified animals, it's totally dark except for the moonlight, and there's fog everywhere. Suddenly, out of the darkness comes this horrifying monstrosity- an elephant, red-eyed, caked in mud, blood and god knows what else, absolutely covered in headcrabs. I get the chills thinking about it.


Also, I think that friendly fire should be on, but it should impact the PLOT, rather than the game right now. For instance, as you kill more and more allies, your followers gradually lose respect for you, and start doubting your abilities and skills. Eventually, if you really **** up, they'll overthrow you, instate a new leader, and declare you an enemy. Now you have to fight against EVERYONE!

or something along the lines of that.

That just wouldn't work. I definatley prefer it with freindly fire off.
