Aight Fr lets just calm down and wait. I know this uhh "leaks" isnt new. We were getting more and more leaks, old beta builds etc and this still doesnt mean anything. IF there is a HL3 then you should be prepared that it can cancel.. or not? Hehehe. I don't want my dreams to be shattered again so im just waiting for straight offical news..

You will be missed

i am new in half life fandom and I started to think about this topic

Pretty good so far when does g man show up?

this is a thumbnail i made for my upcoming yt video what yall think? its just gameplay with piss poor commentary partially cause i was recording at 12 in the morning. of me playing the original xbox version of half life. no emulator like the real deal half life 2

first picture is the final thumbnail, the others are different variants

I don't know, I'm wavering between thinking of around 40, varying between capitals or large cities.

My best friend made this and got it signed by Gaben before gifting it to me. Wanted to share.

I mean honestly, I feel like the Elite Cop is one of those rare cut NPCs that really shoulda stayed in HL2. Combine Soldiers have Elites, why not the Metro Cops?

I feel they really coulda fit well into the gameplay as NPCs that wield Magnums, Shotguns, and SMGs with the grenade launcher, especially during the Uprising segments. They have a unique enough model to be noticeable as an NPC that should be put down first. Kinda like the Shotgunners and Elites having their own models. We know how much of a punch that could pack.

I'm still a lotta HL2 mods that have custom NPCs add the Elite Cops inside. Entropy Zero 2 and The Burton Equation being some examples. I felt they fit into the gameplay pretty well, and they'd fit well into the canon Half-Life narrative as well.

Like I can understand NPCs like Assassins or Cremators not fitting into sections of HL2, but why Valve decided to cut the Elite Cops is beyond me. Maybe to save the file size since HL2 could only hold so much at the time. But just looking at HL2 right now, the Elite Cop could've been a great challenge to add to the CP fights.

Probably debut in "Point Insertion" in passive form, and make its combat debut in "Water Hazard". Then have more fights with them in "Anticitizen One" and "Exit 17" to make the Metro Cop battles harder.

What do you think? Y'think Elite Cops could fit into HL2's canon now?

Just started up hl1 and a vortigaunt spawned in the test chamberrrrr 😭👽⚡️⚡️😵

So, at the start of HL: 2 Barney saves Gordon from going to Nova Prospekt, takes him to an interrogation room, turns off the camera, and when an officer comes to see what's going on, he has Gordon fuck all the way off.

How do you think he managed to talk his way out of it?

Personally, I think he told the guy Gordon was an old friend, and he was doing him a favor and let him go. Probably bribed the guy with some means and told him he'd take the fall if something came of it (and then also fucked off to Kleiner lab, basically until the Uprising)

Hunters are deadly agile fast assasins from The Combine Alien Forces however Freeman encounters them only in Victory mine after he destroyed Citadel.

In City-17 you can make the arguement that they have hard times fitting into door frames even I imaginee them bonding their legs and get there. But they for sure would be good on Highway 17. Nova Prospect could use hunters against antlions maybe.

Narrow doors frames is really slim explanation cause White Forest showed what happens when not main characters meet hunters in kinda narrow Black Mesa like corridors.

I've been working on a PowerVR emulator (it's mostly done but needs performance tuning) and testing Half-Life on it I was struck by this particular loading screen. I doubt it's been seen much in this millenium.

PowerVR was a competitor to the 3DFX Voodoo - you put it in your system and it added 3D acceleration. It was an interesting design but was really heavy on the processor and needed a beefy PC - which kind of hurt it since it was positioned as more of a value option compared to Voodoo. Videologic (the company behind PowerVR) released a MiniGL driver specifically for Half-Life, and this is the loading screen.

I was playing Getting Over It until I noticed the explosive barrels from Half-Life 2. Is it a stock image widely used in media or not? I've only ever seen it in Half-Life 2...
