assumption is the mother of a **** ups

[bvasgm]

4. Horribly inaccurate guns like in HL2.
5. No improvement in the AI.

[Wilsonator]

7) Flashbacks
8) Killable Stalkers
9) Invincible NPC's (because they're so fun to kill.)

[Mechagodzilla]

I protest! It needs Race X very, very muchly. :P

[Jandor]

It needs killable Stalkers.

It dosn't need Adrian Shepard.

nor does it need to be completely lacking in Cremators.

[Spectre01]

[Ezmartini]

11) Fights against stalkers. Those things scare me.

EDIT fixed numbers, and OMFG you beat me to the punch of a nekkid male character, Sued.

[OCybrManO]

19: Gman naked.Wouldn't that be quite the boss fight? I mean, half of the guys would probably quit without beating the game, run through it blindly, or wait until an unofficial censorship patch is made to put a black bar over it.

what if his caq is huge, you would just stop to wonder "WTF??...wow.." and then get killed. It's linda like looking at Goatse...you are utterly disgusted, then you just kinda keep staring in awe....well, I just skipped the Disgusted part, and straight to awe....D=

[Danimal]

43. Hydras.

[ríomhaire]

37. No final bosses :P
that means it needs a final boss as the thread is what it dosn't nead.

58. Less Aliens
59. No revieling of the story
60. Alyx with that many clothes on
61. Less Jump puzzles (I like them from HL1)

[Ezmartini]

May have been said already, but

62. No big videos that show all the best parts of the game, leaving you in an anticlimactic depression when you beat the game. (Didn't happen to me, but it did to a friend of mine)

[Styloid]

63. increased system requirements.

[Alix Mcdean]

64: The crowbar replaced with a Crawbar.

65: The crowbar replaced with a long vibrating peice of plastic, prefered by females.(Unless you play as Alyx :D...what?)

-Alix

[cabbs]

66: any Gordon Freeman voiceovers by Chris Evans
67: it turning out that G-man is Gordon from the future. If that is in any part of aftermath, then the sky will fall, the four horseman will ride, and civilisation as we know it will end. As punishment for screwing up the hl2: Aftermath story in such a horrifying fashion, God will make all human survivors look like g-man for ever more. I would say "Valve, you have been warned", but that would be flogging the dead "g-man is not gordon" horse a bit too much.

[MikeL15]

Kinda off topic but to #67, if Gordon Freeman were to be G-man, he would have to get some surgery and become a... well... pothead I guess.

68: no fish thingy(cant 'member name)
69: hehe
70: <-that to be our age when it comes out
71: to be short

[Cons Himself]

oh and THE SAME FRIENDLY PATHFINDING AND AI

i want my squadmates to lay down cover fire, duck out of the way, dash to and from cover and throw grenades, as well as staying where i put them. like if i point to an area with the crosshair and give the stay command, they should fan out and find cover within that general area, not all squabble for the 2cm squared of room on a single pixel.

Are you suggesting HL2 has any of those?

[Jintor]

No, but HL2 dosn't need them, does it?

[eber]

Are you suggesting HL2 has any of those?

hl2 had all of those. just look at breen , hes the crazy maniac who wants to take over the world :sleep: , so original !
look at the prison in nova prospect. every room looked similar and the whole building hadnt any logical structure. and what about the city . the houses all had the same textures from inside and outside. they just replaced some doors and windows and put diffrent things into it.
the coast level was just annoying , it lasted much too long anyway.

Actually I think Breen is the most original and intruiging villains in gaming history. He doesn't want to take over the world, he controls the world. Well actually he doesn't, he is charged with over seeing it.

The combine have our planet in their hands and use Breen as a puppet. Plus there isn't a rest of the world, it's just wasteland and combine controlled cities. Breen never did seek the spotlight.

And Nova Prospekt looked the same because it's a prison :)

[eber]

lol but a real prison wouldnt look like that. well , i think its pretty much a matter of opinion but in MY opinion its just like i said!

[Samon]

Perhaps, though it's a Gulag also - and that's pretty much what they looked like.

[majormajor]

103. !(A dark, scarey forest level - with or without Striders would be good) <--note the not statement making this a not not statement therefore making it a positive 103.)

104. a bolox ending that points to Aftermath II

[alan8325]

the coast level was just annoying , it lasted much too long anyway.

I would actually like to see MORE big open levels like the coast levels, however I would agree that they got a little boring after a while in HL2. The problem was that there just wasn't enough to do out in the wide open areas. For the most part it was just driving down the road and clearing a house every now and then.

The crane part was really fun, however, as it involved gameplay that really made use of the wide open areas and was something different. Aftermath should have more parts like that. Additionally, the driving could be made more interesting by having things like enemy vehicles chasing/intercepting you. There should definitely be more vehicle vs. vehicle combat.

[Einhanderkiller]

106. Friggen gigantic last boss.

[grannyjone]

107. New alien races other than Xen/Combine. It would bring far too many different races into the story

Breen never wanted to take over the world. He was just willing to go to whatever means necessary to survive, including becoming human pawn whose sole purpose was to make the Combine takeover more "user-friendly."

As for Nova Prospekt: do you realize that Valve had the entire prison mapped out before the gameplay and level path was designed? They do this with all their levels; most people are just too quick to notice. Notice the steady progression from underground electrical components, ducts, isolation prison cells etc.. to more urban environments, like the kitchen, headquarters, and entrance lobby (all near the end). In fact, it's the most sophisticated level design I've ever seen. The whole progression from the beach(end of sandtraps) to the teleporter(end of entanglement) is simply amazing. Probably one of my most favorite parts in the game.

Those "houses" you were referring to (I'm assuming you were talking about the last levels) were mostly apartment buildings. Go into any apartment building, and you tend to see repeated themes throughout.

Regarding the coast, I can't really argue that because it's more opinion than anything else (whereas the rest of your points were based on pseudo-facts). Suffice to say, I liked the coast. Did you explore all the houses? It definitely made the level more fun. I particularly liked the part with the crane and the docks. You could almost immediately tell the ocean had sunk. All of the storage areas were empty. Very cool.

[Noobulon]

105.levels which only consist of similar looking rooms that are thrown together.

If you think HL2 level design is "thrown together", God help any other FPS you care to play :eek:

Anything, anyone?

Uh, thrown together...

How!?

The chapters change dramatically, more so than any game before it I hasten to add. You've got city 17, the canals, the sewers, the coast...then Nova Prospekt - they are all so different. You never feel like you've been there before, unlike in other games.
