Flying car thrown by giant robot.


That's not the very beginning, though. In the very beginning of Episode one, it shows the cutscene of Gordon and Alyx at the Dark Fusion reactor at the top of the Citadel as it explodes, but time freezes and the vortigaunts take Gordon and Alyx away before they are killed.

If that sounds illogical, than I guess you can consider the "rollercoaster ride" in the red van.

HAHAHAH this whole thread is full of epic lulz.

Episode 1 had an aweful introduction in my own opinion.

Yes, it did in fact have a very awkward way of starting, although given the ending to HL2, it may have been the only good way.

I know it's not the very beginning, but I'd consider it another "pre-combat vehicle sequence". I think the impromptu-rollercoaster is far more evocative of the HL1 train than the Vort-intervention.

I wonder if Valve considered the Vorts using one of those Xen mantis-fliers. Of course, that would introduce more problems than it solves, and wouldn't exactly mesh with the "trippy stopped-time paranormal effect" thing. ("The resistance has those? How?") etc.

The same way every Half life begins.
Gman.
Train.
Crowbar.
Repeat.

Only in this case.
Gman.
Helicopter.
Crowbar.

Episode 3 is nothing more than a vehicular pursuit of the Advisor that killed Eli. once you find the advisor, the credits roll and we wait for Episode 4.

Lies: In Ep1 you didn't find the crowbar for a very long time.

Alyx will be pole dancing to Brittany spears 'Hit me baby one more time;' while Eli is taken by gman to his crib. Kliener then tells you Barny got Stuck in a lift and you got to back the way you came in ep2 and half way through ep1. ep3 will be going back to White forest, again.


But really, it will likely begin with the minutes after Eli's death and vortigaunts, carrying his body to a place. Maybe they will wrap him in a shroud. ALyx is crying, then some stuff is said, 'get to the choppa' go to the Borealis, Alyx goes with you and is sad but very angry and throughout, your chopper gets mauled by the same adviser that killed Eli, Alyx see it and gets very pissed off, so she goes off running after it, then some deep ice fissure opens she falls, so do you. Then its a bit like the Antlion caves only you got advisers, then you get to the borealis, stuff happens, you find out the secret, turn on a big machine, then 'shwooourrp' something happens, like teleportation or portals open, advisor's stream out and other epic shaz, and the gman stop in to say Hai, fade to black... roll on the finale.

I do believe honestly something along those lines it will pan out, nothing is quite that straightforward in HL2 world, you see the path clear ahead then suddenly a beam falls across it. Same with the chopper likely to crash, otherwise they'd fly straight to the boat, and you can't be sat there for an hour, as your seeing it through Gordons eyes and passage of time.

Gman will ask for your credit card info so you can prepay for the next mindless release. After you get that done the game will start with zombie hordes attacking you and you will have pills and a crowbar. You will sit and kill zombie waves until you have a stroke.

So, Episode 3 will be horrible, and full of story lines no one loved. Valve will get complaint emails, so they'll work on Ep 4, which will be like that season of Dallas, where everything was a dream sequence so they could start over. That would be interesting.

Honestly, it won't love up to my expectations because mine are pretty damn high. I EXPECT Adrian Shephard to return, and for there to be the most awesome ending there evar was. But, I'm thinking it won't be.

Or, it opens with Gordon on the 'copter, along with Ellis, Nick, Rochelle, and Coach from L4D2, with the bridge exploding behind them. Then, all Valve games become one as you play with the Portal gun in a TF2 style deathmatch with the L4D characters.

I can't wait for Black Mesa Source!

I've found my stay so far at interlopers quite good, and with a reasonable price.
