Det. Bart Lasiter Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 The official website for Aftermath is finally up and running! The Story Continues In Half-Life, the G-Man made you. In Half-Life 2, he used you to defeat Dr. Breen and start the Resistance. In Episode One, he's lost control. The only bad news is that it won't be released until June 1st Discuss.

IG-64 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yay, half-life is actually developing a story. Battle side-by-side with her through Valve's first episodic game, a four-to-six hour adventure of greater density and detail than non-episodic releases. That sounds short but at the same time very promising. And they're obviously planning for more of these episodes. Should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 There's much to discuss? Heck yes I'm getting it! I just blew through HL:S the other day, I'm all fired up for some more alien shooting goodness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 As usual, i'll have to skip on it, until I get a better gaming rig. However, Half-Life 2 is one of the most challenging shooters I ever played on XBOX, and trust me...I love shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves me a month or so to finish upgradin You can kill G-Man in HL2 though (he comes back, but it's satisfying to put a few rounds in his head anyways): On the way to Black Mesa East, just after you destroy the Hunter and just before you cross the bridge to the dam, you can stop just before the bridge, target G-Man (he's standing at the corner of the dam) and put a few rounds through him with the hovercraft's machine gun.

The Seeker Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Along with Splinter Cell: Double Agent, this is my number 1 anticipated game. Half Life 2 absolutely recaptured that classic FPS feel I'd been looking for since Jedi Knight, and I can't wait for these little episodes ever so cleverly priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Does anybody know if these will have cliffhanger endings until the end of the episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Walker also let slip a few hints about the plots of both expansion packs. "Episode One will not end with an all-encompassing conclusion", he said, comparing it to Half-Life 2's less-than-cut-and-dry denouement. He also preemptively addressed any fears that the series will stray from its roots, saying Valve has "to be considerate to our audience in terms of giving them what they want." copied from gamespot article here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Bah, HL2 is such an amazing game, but it's so damn creepy. Keeps me awake at night. I sold my copy to my bro... too scary! Go ahead, make your jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BongoBob Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hey, the first time I went through Ravenholm, I was pretty creeped out and high strung. Now when I go through ravenholm, it's just, crowbar crowbar crowbar crowbar shotgun shotgun done. God I love smacking things around with a crowbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the sawblades found around town can take out a ton of "zombies" at once and the oxygen canisters are made to be thrown at high speed.

Drops Zeds by the truckload. Two direct hits take out the super zombies that fling the headcrabs at you. Though, the sawblades are just too much fun to pass by.
