lol i got on jarhedz jst fine, bt they are having some probs recently. its the only tf2 server i ll play on.

all the way on page 8 you can find the orange box thread!!! until NOW!

anyway, just to let y'all know, i have completed hl2e2 as of today! awesome ending and t0mg i want morrrrreeee like right now!!!

anyway, people should post in this thread what they think will happen in ep3 (please no flaming or insulting other users thoughts on what could happen as everyone is entitled to an opinion).

on another note, apparently portal has lots of references that are useful to the hl story, so may try and complete that tonight (SCREW PACKING !!! HL IS WHERE ITS AT ATM!!!)

Portal is heavily related to the HL storyline now, and will be even more so in Ep3 (Borealis = Portal place).

Ep3 will rock, but I have no idea what will happen.

bah, i will type up what i think may happen later .

btw, i find it highly unlikely the portal gun will be used in ep3, (possibly by another character maybe) or if it does only for a short period of time, it wouldnt feel right in a hl game imo, but who knows it could be.

They have confirmed you won't get to use it, IIRC.

well i dont think it has been confirmed as in either ^^

ive completed portal now as well woop woop woop

Frikken Finally!

i pronounce myself the last (and therefore the best) person in the clan to complete portal!

I think you can only claim most recent. I bet soemone else hasn't completed it. Heck, there are some people who don't even OWN it.

i claim the last until somebody proves otherwise!!! ^^

chicken hasn't even started portal lol, or finished HL2... yes i know he's sinnful, ive tried to convince him but he still refuses...

when u get into it its so easy to do.

personally i wasnt so bothered about portal but hl2....wow

Personally, I found Portal spectacular because I was one of the first to play it (of all the people I talked to at the time, I finished it before anyone else). This meant I had no expectations of it, and it was fantastic. The concept was amazing, and the ending was brilliant. Of course, once you've heard so much about it, it becomes a bit "meh".

As for ep2, yes that was WOW. That was simply a masterpiece of storytelling and gameplay in a conventional FPS environment, and, IMO, the best SP FPS I have ever played. A lot better than ep1, and even HL2.

much better than hl2e1 certainly, but the game added more variety than hl2e1 if u think about it (though i also <3 hl2e1)

as for portal, it wasnt so much expectations it didnt draw me in like hl2e2 did, im not bothered about portal 2 ofc i would buy it but omg i want hl2e2!!!

EP2 was absotutely amazing... but the ending nearly made me cry... not because 'X' happened to 'X' but because it was over and EP3 wont be out for so long.

yeh same here, not cry, but a awesome ending and really want ep3 >:(

The ending was really well done. Probably some of the best voice acting and animation I have ever seen in a game.

As for Portal, I guess it may not be your style, but you're right, it doesn't draw you in, it's just an absolutely brilliant game concept excecuted near flawlessly with some good dialogue and a decent background to boot. It's very refreshing to have a game like that.

yeh it makes a nice difference, i still think its amazing how the portals work in the game (like u can see through whats on the other portal and stuff is quite mind blowing sometimes but basically, orange box, only £20 when i bought it (2 weeks before xmas of release) and well, must be deal of the century.

It's £17 now (make sure you have European currency BETA on). I got it at about £27, IIRC, and it was probably one of the best £27 I have ever spent.

Yeah, best £24.48 I'v ever spent.
