but i don't think valve would allow the pilot of the chop plus it russian and they always have probs with there stuff specialy aircraft but i'd like to see and fight the people the G man works for it would be neat or even go back to black mesa which is probly were they are but it would be nice but i also wounder if the combine would use that as a portal to there world since that is were the resonesans started?

what the frick are you talking about theres always problems with russian equipment, ever hear of the SU-25 or the AK47?

as for what i'd like to see, I want to see ep3 have shepard come back, I think he could fit in to the story if gman were to release him and explain to him the events since black mesa. I'm damn sure that if shepard heard that alien forces took over earth and that gordon was the most skilled resistance fighter, i'm pretty sure that shepard would want to avenge the people of earth and would understand that gordon would be his greatest ally. Think about it, gordon, alyx, and shepard working as a team, Gordon brings the smarts, alyx brings the agility, shepard brings the military tactics and training. shepard could be a major resource in tactical operations in leading operations special forces style, as the resistance could learn a lot from an ex-specops guy such as shepard. I bet that someone like him would defanatly want to avenge the conquest of his planet.

Also, I would love to see as sort of a side feature in ep3 a flashback game for one of the soldiers in the 7 hour war, as i'd love to see that war from the eyes of a soldier rather than just being told about it by eli. I want to actually see kind of like a tactical game where you play a soldier in the 7 hour war and it goes from a little before to a little after, that way we can see the backstory of how the war happened from the eyes of someone fighting in it rather than just being told about it.

Finally, i would love to see the portal gun in ep3. I want to be able to cause combine to fall to their deaths by dropping them from a great height, or to drop a rock on their heads.

I know it may sound stupid, but I'd like proof (just for safety).

Valve normally doesn't go into character realism like that. They like to present the player as Gordon and having the glasses break may bring players out of being Gordon a little I think.

Adrian Shepard is an important character. Gordon Freeman is running around stopping the combine in every way without any sort of real opposition. It seems like nothing the Combine has could stop him. But there is a force that could stop him and that is Shepard. If you think about it, G-Man knows this. Gordon is his pawn and the G-Man saw Shepard as a threat and "eliminated him". Of course G-Man did not kill him but just put him into an eternal prison.

Now lets think here. If the Combine were to learn of Adrian Shepard and somehow rescue him then he could possible stop Gordon Freeman and the resistance. He is basically the balance to the equation. I think it would be wise for Value to work him into the story because he could be a significant factor to the struggle for Earth.

@th3flyboy
Not that this is the spirit of the thread or anything, but lets get one thing clear: the ak-47 had PLENTY of problems. The fact that they work under extreme conditions doesn't make up for the extreme inaccuracy. Depending on something to always be just as crappy as last time isn't my kind of dependable.

A good point, but still, you forget the fact that Shepard is not an idiot, Regardless of the G-Mans influence, he WILL eventually realise who the real (Earth Enslaving) badguys are and attempt to stop them.

But I hope they just focus on Ep3 and release just like they released Ep1, in a single box with no other game (Okay, Ep1 have Deathmatch in it as well, but you know what I mean).

ive got an quote from Gabe. May 2007

Adrian is just as popular as Gordon Freeman, Valve would be stupid to completly remove him from the story. I have a feeling that we will at least get a hint of him in Ep 3, even if he doesn't appear in person.

Some facts

1. Shepard is back. His name can be found on one of the portal keyboard (the white leters)

2. Advisors are the same thing that you killed in hl1 but ninhal from hl1 is the big daddy

3. Blue vortigons from hl2 ep1 prob gonna save you again

4. Chell the. Char from portal needs help , she is prob gona finh you on the ship,

5. Gman was one of the person who worked in black mesa, there is a pic in hl2 in kliners hideout and he is standing next to you on the picture

6. Barney is not dead, some site said he is

7. Remeber the dude than gave u rpg in hl2, he prob was on the ship, hl2 beta? He was on the ship look it in youtube.

8. Combine base is xan!!!

[Damnit]

Id like Gordon to have main nemesis and who else other than Shephard? Shephard could be used by the G-man into killing Gordon.

Freeman is not so much under the G-man's control as he once was. The vorts saw to that. If the G-man feels that the vortigaunts will break Gordon away from his control he might want Gordon dead, a sort of "If I cant have him, no one will" scenario. Gordon alive and not under the G-man influence might work against him and pose a very real upset to the G-Man's real plans, whatever the hell it might be...

Besides Dr. Breen was Gordon's biggest threat in HL2 but now the arch-enemy position is back up for hire so why the hell not?
