Portal

[AlexanderAstartes]

Playing Portal, admiring the depth of the puzzles, I couldn't help that feel the portal gun would be a really fun weapon to have in a combat FPS. You could set up some really elaborate punishments for your enemy. For example, stick a Portal under a Strider's leg...it'd just happen to come up and impale your enemy through a second portal in the wall. At the same time as catching a strider in a hole. Just thinking, maybe in a multiplayer game, this could be really fun to use.

Portal Gun for Episode 3!

...then open up another portal somewhere else, and SLICE! You just removed a Strider's leg!

DO IT, VALVE.

It'd also be nice for taking out snipers.

Step 1) Make portal under sniper
Step 2) Make portal on ground in front of you
Step 3) Pull out shotgun.

Has any of you read the commentaries for Portal? This game has pretty much squeezed the shit out of the Source Engine.If you could use Portal Gun during Strider battles and other massive fights, the RROD rate for 360's would probably double.

I used to have a UT2004 Portal Gun. That was Jokes!

I can see the possibilities now.

When you're pinned by a group of Combine soldiers you could shoot a portal over them, one on the ground near you, then toss a couple of grenades into your end, and make them go boom.

Or if you find yourself in an area with both Combine soldiers and zombies you could shoot a portal under one Combine soldier, then another in the middle of the crowd of zombies, and then sit back and watch as the soldier gets ripped to bits.

I just wonder how they would get the portal gun into Episode 3; would it be a seperate gun from the gravity gun; or would the two somehow be combined into one?

I play my Orange Box on PC. The way it was meant to be played.

You know how in EP 2


SPOILER

You see the ship with Aperature Labs on it? You will probably go there, and just like other games or half life, you will go through some awesome thing, and all your guns will become a portal gun, that or you will find one, but at the cost of most of your stuff

Yes I know the ship was there, but I was saying HOW would it happen, would you just find another portal gun in the Aperature ship, would you meet up with Chell and she would give you hers, or would the gravity gun become fused with a portal gun to make a gravity gun/ portal gun hybrid.

But back on the topic of the portal gun, maybe getting it would allow you to enter and exit that stasis like realm the G Man puts you in, so you could finally follow him and find out just what the hell he is, and who his "Employers" are.

ment to be played!!!!! whatever i'm over it anyway thers already a thread for that. valve would but it on PC, PS3 and 360 just like last time, and i am thankful for it.

Maybe there'll be a portal gun in EP:3, since we're probably going to the Borealis. Except this time, it's only the prototype, so its limited in terms of effectiveness and ammo.

Yes, but what if it's a prototype add on for your gun? That would be sweet. I dont see the gravity gun and portal gun merging. The gravity gun is too awesome so they'd want to have something else on it's level available, Like a machine gun or something with portals.

 

[Minic]

Imagine: some camper is taking out people from afar. So, you make a portal from your base to where he's located. Have the entire team spill out and punch the shit out of him.

 

[[HD]Rob Inglis]

Portal was awesome. Period. It would be fun to shoot small, almost unnoticeable portals, then shoot bullets through them and confuse the hell out of people.

An add on to one of the other weapons... tacking it onto the pulse rifle might be a good idea. The pulse rifle has a pretty futuristic appearance, and thus would look rather nice with a portal gun like attachment on it.

Maybe Valve could change the ammo the pulse rifle uses for its secondary fire into the ammo it uses to fire portals, so you would have a limited number of portals to fire, like Copter400 said.
