Half-Life2: Episode 1??

As I was reading my PCGamer, I came up to an article concerning
Half-Life 2. Aparently, Valve has decided to extend Aftermath
into several expansion packs; thus, they renamed the next release
Half-Life 2: Episode 1.

What are your thought on this subject.

I, personally, thought that they could've come up with something more unique rather than the Generic "episode" sub-title.

You know, I've actually got nothing to say

Yeah, that happened ages ago.

Whatever.

Seen that news some time ago on some site, yeah.

Oh well, whether it's called Episode or not, it sounds interesting. Not exactly the most imaginative title indeed but that's not a big concern to me.

As long as the gameplay is good, i don;t care about the title.

I want the damn thing to come out. Its been almost a year since their
"expected release date". Other than that I have no concerns because DoD
Source rocks hard and heavy in terms of level design/gameplay/and art.

Posting And You

I don't mind when they delay games. Yes, It pisses me off a little because I want to play the damn thing, but usually they delay the thing to make it better.

Rushed games are not a good thing. Take Battlefield 2 for example. SO many bugs still not fixed since release.

it's bush's fault.

Whatever happened to HL3 :razz:

Quite frankly, as long as it isn't as buggy as crap, and causes weird
crashes that take my entire computer down (unlike the rest of HL2) then
I'll play it. :smile:

Indeed - by all means point out when something is old news Frenchy, but next time try doing it without being a rude bastard eh?

Hmmm. I dunno, I guess i really don't care what a game is named as long as it's a good game. Really, what does the word "quake" have to do with stroggs and spaceships? Kinda silly, but a great set of games, so: don't care. :biggrin:

French Toast: I've got a mixture of "lol" and "What a wanksplash!" here.

And I completely agree.

Valve must have alot of time on their hands to have loads of 'episodes' to it, I thought they were already working on HL3 :/

---

Hahaha! Im using the INTERNET!

I can't wait for Episode 3 when it comes out in like... 2012. :razz:

But honestly, I think those Episodes will be great. Opposing Force was great but it lacked the extra "lightness" and originality of the Valve games. From what I heared each Episode will be rather short (6 hours or so) but it's packed with good ideas and very detailed maps.

Yeah, I cant wait to have all the time on my hands after I retire so I can enjoy ep 3.

Retire? :wink:

---

Hahaha! Im using the INTERNET!

I hear Jar-Jar is annoying, but the podrace is quite cool.

The joke being that I'll be retired by the time it comes out.

Does'nt seem so funny now..

hm.

Why make HL3?

Honestly, Valve spent so much time and money developing the Source
engine, they deserve to milk the damn thing for everthing it's got
before modding the shift out of it for HL3.

Isn't HDR enough?

<span style="color: white;">Y2KBen is right, that is a gay title. Leave it to the creative elite to come up with that s**t.

Worked for Star Wars.. why not Half Life. besides I could care less waht they call it.. as long as it rocks my socks off when I get to play it im all good.

Keep raging against the machine noir!

The title doesn't seem that bad, and to be honest it doesn't matter to me what it's called.

What if it was called 'The s**t-ass bitch c**t f**kfest'?

christ....are you trying to prove that yer an asshole frenchy? wtf is yer problem.....?? yer age is showing.....blatantly.

I'd probably pause for thought, then buy it anyway :smile:

Hah, indeed :biggrin:

Yeah, my plan is to show everyone I'm an asshole. Unlike saying
something like "pardon me, but if you have something on yer tiny little
f**king mind
there frenchy, grow some balls, and state yer f**king case, you no-mind
little baked good.....keep bangin', im up for it.....",

Because that's
just funny. Clearly meant as a joke and not an insult, unlike my post.

Would you like me to put a smiley in it?

I just read a "news bit", says Aftermath is being released a week later than anticipated, on May 31st.

It also says they're well into working on EP:2.

I don't give a flying-ass-monkey what they call the game, honestly, I think we're a bit past the point of being sold on a name when it comes to Half-Life, you know what type of game play to expect and you know how much fun you'll have, so what does a name matter?

Also, the "content" sounds pretty cool. It's suppose to deal more with the G-Man's involvement in the HL universe. Says the Newell. (Link)

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I'm actually quite curious how you get off the building. Maybe
you get your legs blown off, and there's 7 hours 'cause your vision is
fuzzy and you gotta crawl through the game.

"[size=13]Newell, interestingly, claims that Valve has no definite plans and describes the XBox release of Half-Life 2 as the ...first big retail disappointment we?ve had in the history of the company. "

That was interesting...
[/size]

They're supposedly developing your relationship with Alyx a bit too.

It must be hard to work things out in a relationship when one of you doesn't talk.

frenchy, im not gonna prolong this bulls**t any longer, except to say," i hope you adjust your attitude towards life before you have to go out in the world, and get things done on yer own"....seems to me up until recently, ive been nothing but cordial to you, and let pass alot of s**t that would/ should have otherwise been addressed....and any time you want to have a serious debate about ANY topic son, ill accomodate you....and its not just me who finds you.....grating. so, have a nice day, and sleep well....

and just in case you wondered, its the cynicism....hell, even yer signature suggests a serious attitude....and yer entirely too young to go thru life with that s**t spewing out....

and you know what you can do with yer smiley there shmuck... :wink:

I don't see the issue.

Mayhap, being out of the loop is a good thing... This time.

shrugs

The only thing I read "into" this comment of Frenchy is, he sounds like an old timer, without putting in the time to become one.
In other words, he has the attitude, without the moxie.

I don't know what was wrong with my first post.

Well, to each his own. But to me you've been nothing but a prick.

frenchy, ill tell ya what....you read back thru yer posts since youve been here, and if you still feel that way, then ill shut up, and ill even apologize, but be honest.....

plain and simply, yer full of s**t....

you have brought out the absolute worst in me man, and that takes some serious doing.....
