Word is we can expect EP3 in early 2009. What do you think we'll see in it. What would you like to see in it?

Might be sold as a standalone.

I'd like to see Alyx confess her love to Gordon, and then have him reply: "give me some sugar baby".

Have Adrian Shephard come back.

[Rolls eyes.] Alyx... I hate her.

No way in hell man!
Adrian cannot come back in Ep3. If he is to return in a Half-Life game it has to be a stand-alone game in which we play as him.
Perhaps another take on the rebellion.

My hopes:

• Separated from Alyx.
• Aperture facility.
• Half-Life-esque 3 sided (Combine, Rebels and an out-side force [Aperture Combat Squad?] ) battle in a close quarters, oppressive environment.
• Fight through an area of Combine occupied tundra to the Borealis.
• G-Man.

When he comes back, and fI doubt he will be fighting the rebellion, because he never got the order to kill Morgan Freeman. He worked with scientist and security guards because he never got the order to kill Freeman.

__________________

I know, he [Adrian] gave up on his orders (or lack thereof) when he got the order to pull out. From then on it was a get the hell outta there situation in which he was manipulated by the G-Man.

So, if he comes back he will be doing whatever the G-Man has told him to do.

But let's not let this thread turn into a what would Adrian be doing if he came back thread.

Maybe it could be set in near future and they have like little kids but a pregnant alyx is snatched and the children are made into zombie creatures and you have to go through a identity parade of each zombie but to make sure you dont kill the wrong zombie which might be gordon freemans son or daughter you would have a taser gun which was stolen from a labatory but not to be a thief but to help mankind which is what gordon is really trying to do except how can he really he has killed so many humans he is really a mass murderer and how can he sleep at night he must be so troubled or maybe he doesnt sleep he go in cyropyro sleep or maybe he frozen his brain to a state of no regret so he can keep his mind on the job instead of alyxs ass but every time he look at headcrab he get in the mood for proverbial chicken.

That would just be stupid. Also if his son was a zombie he would have to kill him, because there would be no way to help him. The thief part, he wouldn't use a taser gun he would use a gun that would kill.

I would like to see something new, not just some new enemies and a couple of new objects and a new vehicle, but actually something new. Also i would like to see more choice.

*SPOILERS, maybe*

The helicopter ride, which i assume will be in there should be interesting and i would like to be able to choose whether I can pilot it or gun it assuming there will be some sort of dog fight as the combine are trying to protect some top secret stuff over there.

Also i would like some light shed on the Gman, although knowing Valve they will milk this for all it's worth and will probably keep it a mystery until HL3 and beyond.

Some new weapons would be nice, or at least having them modified in some way or another. I would like to see more of those new fancy physics (such as the train bridge collapsing at the beggining of ep2) perhaps the player would be able to cause such things. I would like levels to be bigger and not so linear, at the end of HL2 i was hoping i would be able to walk around a crumbling City 17 in a GTA kind of way. In the end of ep2 i liked it, with the big battles, that was fun; want to see more of that.

GORDON Freeman meets Adrian Shepherd.
