i kinda don't want hl3 to be a continuation of the other episodes

[Dezcaban]

Think about it, HL2 and it's episodes are extremely bland and easy. The plot is mainly "shoot aliens beccuz they came". At-least HL1 had an understandable plot, it was fast paced and action full.

What I want to see in HL3 is the seven hour war. You know, the invasion of combine on Earth? You could do some amazing story lines with that, imagine the action, think of the possibilities!

Or, exploring a ship in the middle of an arctic tundra nothingness. Booooooriinnggg. I can wait for that.

A mentioning of Half Life 3 a day keeps the releases away~
To make the borealis have more action, we can have it EXPLODE!!!

talking about it's content not its release dummy

[Regulith]

it's never coming out anyway so you don't have to worry

[Jairo]

the plot of hl1 is "shoot aliens beccuz they came" too ._.

But it was executed so much better, there was an actual reason behind it. Why did combines even invade?

There are so many loving plot holes in HL it's not even funny
Like seriously how does one man manage to survive against a force that caused the military forces of the ENTIRE loving PLANET to surrender in a suit not designed for combat, as well as no actual weapon training (picking up a gun in HL1 does not count as actual weapon training, mind you)

Also, yes, I'd like to see what happened during the seven hour war, I'm pretty sure there's a mod floating around on Steam Greenlight for the events after the seven hour war as well.

However, I'd love to see a continuation of HL2's story, rather than just a "And now for something completely different"
Seriously I'd rather have some sort of resolution to the whole "Combine all over find Borealis use whatever's on the Borealis and use to explode Combine"

Pretty sure the reason is because they're tyrannical richardwads.

[MrLoL²]

maybe they will do like portal 2

feels like a new game, whitout any story

I think you forgot that it was a game.

the combines invaded the earth because they wanted to eliminate the vortigaunts who were fleeing from them (hence their [vortigaunt] invasion during hl1)
the combines suck the energy out of planets and lifeforms
hence hl2

[BBOY]

I think the borealis is a great new plot.
I always liked the aperture and black mesa thing going on

But it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Think about it, the combined (HEH PUN) forces of the entire planet could probably wipe out literally every other life form on this planet, and yet one person, untrained in military combat, can take on the Combine forces and survive? It doesn't make any sense. How does Gordon Freeman, just some dude with a PhD in Theoretical Physics, manage to do what the entire planet's military could not? It's like a man with a sponge going up against the entire US Army and winning. In fact considering the Combine are only slightly more durable than a normal human being, and that their vehicles don't seem to take much more of a beating than regular human vehicles I don't see any reason for the Earth to have lost the war unless there were like five hundred billion Combine. Then again there probably were.

I thought Combines were humans in gas masks.
Oh wait, was it the joke?
