HL2: Episode 1+2 discussion (may contain possible spoilers)

[Bloodman]

I just wanted to talk about these two expansion packs. Valve says they're only small parts of the story, so in other words, appetizers for Half-Life 3. I have heard a few rumors around the internet about these two. Gordon supposedly comes out of stasis right after G-man puts him there as if something disrupted it. Afterwards, you escape the Citadel and run into the streets of City 17. You get to fight stalkers this time, creepy bastards, plus some new creatures and weapons.

I'm mostly interested in the story. I think the story might be bigger than Valve is trying to make us believe. Hopefully it'll be fast paced with some really good revelations.

I also hope they don't up the specs for them. I can't upgrade my computer at this point, and HL2 ran fine where it was.

I personally am excited as hell. I got stuck on Half-Life 2 a looong time ago, and so I just played CS:S until I finally went back and got unstuck. Half-Life's stories are so enthralling.

Just saw the trailer FUCK I wan't this, that track the plays in the clip is also the best ingame music to get you pumped up ever!

Yeah, I'm really hyped for these as well. I hope they have some minor revelations in the expansions but save the major ones for 3 or later. The story will kick ass regardless though, I have no qualms about that.
