After the rather excellent Ep 2,  just thinking out loudly as to what
direction the developers will take in Ep 3..

Environment;
- An ice/snow level has potential to be interesting?
- Large ships are boring; I sincerely hope we see some interesting
variation on the large ship theme.
-  I can envisage the concluding chapter in the Combine homeworld in a
"the portal may only be sealed from the other side" type- scenario.

Vehicles
- I wonder if we get to fly Alyx's helicopter?

Enemies:
- The Advisors obviously;
- While I'm over Antlions and Zombies, it would be okay to see them in
their natural habitat, ie in the Combine homeworld.
- The return of houndeyes and bullsquibs while unlikely, cannot be
ruled out if we're travelling off-word.
- I'm also over Striders in a major way

Weapons
- Some form of anti-grav weapon to kill Advisors.
- The ASHPD is a distinct possibity.

Friendly Characters:
- GF will obviously get directions from Magnusson and Kleiner.
- I'd like to get some conclusion with Barney

Especially since it potentially allows much larger levels due to less details.

See above - this only makes sense with really large levels. But I hope so too :)

Seconded.

The ASHPD works best (engine-wise) in a controlled environment with straight surfaces. It also would be distinctly less useful (practice-wise) in a large environment lacking in flat, vertical surfaces. (i.e. snow landscape)

what do you think that thing on their chest is, a nose? She is going to get
laid in the next episode.
