Story wise, no idea what they'd do. Way too many options given the ending of Ep. 2.

I just hope Alyx stays in the game. That was the first ai I've actually liked. For one thing, it was helpful, for another, it wasn't completely stupid. Was kinda creepy actually..

Would be annoying if they killed off Gordon though, after playing so many games with him, having a Half Life without him would feel like just another Blue Shift.

What will happen? It won't come out that's for sure. They'll be too busy making other things like Left 4 Dead 3 and whatever, I seriously think they just gave up.
You don't think
HALF LIFE 2:EP 3=DUKE NUKEM FOREVER?
Actually not at all, I think that Valve has been making great games, but they've moved on from HL2 for a while...a long....long while.

Going to the Borealis obviously.

I doubt we'll go to Xen again in the next episode, though that would be cool and I hope we do in Half-Life 3 at least.

I do NOT think we'll use the Portal gun at all in Episode 3.

Actually I don't have many theories about it at all. I just think the ending will take place on the Borealis and the episode will be the journey to the Borealis and the adventures that happen along the way.

For those interested (Half-Life fans will probably already know) the Borealis was originally going to be in Half-Life 2, but they cut it in the end. You can find it in the Missing Information mod and play through it, but the version on Missing Information is very fixed up. I still actually have the leaked beta of the game on a disk and I recorded a video of the original Borealis level, Circa 2003:

It was so unfinished at the time (well actually the whole leak was) I had to use Noclip to get through a couple of doors. But it's actually the most complete level in the whole leak. I recorded a video of the opening level of the game too which you can also find in my youtube profile.

So far... I really just want anything to happen. As long as the G-Man is NEVER explained... I like it much better that way...

Like a good Lovecraft story, so many things are best left unexplained and mysterious/creepy

In 20 years Valve will release that they were really just making HL3 the entire time, scrapping E3. The game will be the greatest game ever and no other games will need to be made, ending the gaming industry, at which point the world explodes when somebody beats the 1000000 hours of gameplay.

What do you think will happen in HL2: EP3?

What i think will happen:

- Gordon Freeman says nothing.
Fixed.
- Gordon goes to Xen again
Since the portal was closed at the end of Episode 2, I'm pretty sure there's no need to.
- A huge war!
What, worn out humans vs. pissed off Combines? I can't imagine who'd win.

I reckon gordon will have to make a choice between destroying or utilising the borealis. Utilising it will of coarse trigger a unwinnable fight and destroying it will save the world.

Let's see...

G-Man appears "blah blah blah Mr Freeman"

Gordon kicks several types of alien butt, solves physics problems and drives something. Alyx helps, makes a few jokes and generally make me fall in love with her all over again. A truely epic finale involving rainbows, dolphins and a Vortiguant love affair.

G-Man appears "blah blah blah Mr Freemen"

The end. Twenty year countdown to Half Life 3.

Game Universes will collide! Ezio and Altair will run around assassinating striders, the CoD guys will breach the citadel (attacking innocent civilians in airports along the way), Masterchief will kill the Vortigaunts! All hell will break loose!

And at the end... the screen will go black... and Gordon with his dying breath will utter a single word...

"Sequel?"
