Episode 3: The first 5 minutes. Your guess?

[Loe_Bas]

Imagine: you put the episode 3 disc in your computer. You install the game and you launch it.
Then you start a new game. What do you think you will see for the coming 5 minutes?
What do you hope to see first? Will it be the Gman, Alex or Labbie (the lab-coated vortiguant).
Where will this all going to start? Mabye in a helicopter? Or in the local hospital? At a funeral?
Do you think/hope it will start right in the action? Or with a conclusion of the previous episodes? Or will they start on the Lighter Note after such a dramatic ending?

That's what this thread is all about Post away!

The only thing I know is if I see the portal gun or Alyx I'm gonna piss off.

If I see Alyx holding a portal gun, I'm going to bomb Valve.

[Guessmyname]

I suspect I will see some variety of: "Engine Error: blah blah blah" and find my computer is no longer capable of running it.

[joe_rogers_11155]

I think Adrian Shepard will come back to kick some advisor ASS.

[Phott]

An intro with the Gman, and perhaps a scene of the helicopter crash, where you'll obviously see Alyx. If I see a portal gun, I'm going to exit the game and uninstall it.

[Major Banter]

We're in a chopper, alyx is flying, we're co-pilot, she's sad face, you go to the back of the chopper for something, it goes wrong, we ditch, alyx is somewhere else and you're stuck on your own.

Weaponless.

Again.

[Mighty Monk]

It's fine Major, you'll miraculously have kept a tight hold on the gravity gun.

Again.

[Major Banter]

I wouldn't be surprised monk. I honestly wouldn't.

On a different note.

At a funeral?

....what?

[peegee]

Dr magnussen will shout at G-Man - G-Man will turn into a vortigaunt and cleaning
the lab till the end of his life
----- NO! --- of course nothing like that. (I hope)

First there will something like a conclusion to
involve the gamers never played hl2 before.
From the emotional ponit of view a funeral is possible,
Alyx wouldn't leave the her father down on the floor.

And we will fly that heli of course, maybe hunting advisors.

[Duke Nukem]

video with elis dead at the final end of the intro. then the heli how it lands on a base in the icecold north. then setting up again, alyx tells gordon what he has to do, she goes another way/waits at the base and then gordon moves along, kicking combines asses through several, in the snow buried bases...

[Wills]

Helicopter flight, heading out over the snowy wastelands, gruff but friendly pilot, Alyx and Gordon in the back. Advisor versus Helicopter mini-battle-scene. Helicopter crashes, distributing Gordon's weapons across the wastelands, seperating you and Alyx. Miraculous gravity gun save. Tontons, Wampa Ice Monster. Eli was your father.

[BubbleQ]

G-Man will turn into Gabe Newell!

[ErikKiller]

You know, I went:
:O
And then I realized it's a SPECULATION thread.

[RefaelBA]

Gordon dies.
And then you play as Alyx with a portal gun.
And still in the first 5 minutes of the game, we learn that Gordon was actually his own father, after he went back in time and had sex with his mother. And the G-man is really just a social worker who's after him for child support.

Now THAT's an opening.

A video showing Gabe explaining why on Earth it took them so long to release it.
