Timeline Thread - BoBTech - Multiplayer mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

When do you think the story takes place, it's going to take place between Half Life 1 and 2. But where does it stand in comparison with Portal?

eventually u end up being the creator of the legendary pie!

what?

idk, does the player have the gravity gun?
then it should be after hl1...

During portal. And here is an idea: You play as a normal test subject, testing aperture weapons, when suddenly GLaDOS starts to give out crazy voices and the whole complex explodes! (You know what am I talking about, if you played portal.)

We want to put the combine in the game, but how do you think that would fit in your idea.

My idea:
You play as a normal test subject. First of all, you test weapons in a shooting range. Than you fight against aperture controlled turrets/enemies. Suddenly the complex explodes and you go out to the surface. You find some weapons and start walking along the street. A group of combines attack you. You meet even more combine, maybe a helicopter or a gunship, too. Later, you enter a building and fight other combines. You enter a dark corridor, when the doors close, and gas emits from the vents. You wake up in a combine jail, with nothing more than your fists. You fight against the guards, pick up their weapons and somehow escape.

(I still need a finale idea. You might end the story at the jail part.)

I like the beginning of your idea, but I'm not sure about putting the jail part in game (maybe in the sequel ;p )

ok so my idea starts of as Gosthy also during portal:
so u are going through the test area's the next one harder then the last one and u eventually end up at an impossible test wich u fail anyhow u try it. so glados initialises a suit function that gets u unconscious. so u get transported to the bio-extraction room(special energy wich will be specified later on) witch is full automated by glados but when u're about to go under the knife,(here same as Gosthy part) glados starts to give out weirds noises and followed by a crash. because of this u reawake vinding urself about to be cut open. u try getting up when an in-case of emergency alert goes online.
eventually u find out that because glados is offline the facility is no longer hiden through some sort energy field around it because of this the combines seizes the opportunity to get the highly wanted BoBTechnology so they can finally end the on going war against the rebels.

there, nice story? isnt it!

nc, its not a good idea to lose ur weapons... you willl have a suit with the primary weapon attached on, that gun is like 1 of the most important things in the game.

the portal gun was invented about 1981 (or later), glados is turned on in 1986. half-life 1 takes place between 2001 - 2009. so if we wantthe gravity gun it has to be after 2009, after portals

The combine took over Earth in 7 hours, why would they fight against rebels? Anyway, making them come in the facility is a nice idea. I would enjoy a part where you have to set up turrets against combines (just like in a HL2 part).

Oooh new idea: You have to stand on a paltform, and it moves through a long way. You shoot enemies from it, and avoid traps. The platform goes through a corner, and it would go in a fire pit. (GLaDOS uses the same tactic against every test subject.) You are about to burn, when the GLaDOSerror+aperture explode part comes in. The wall breaks down and you rescue from the pit. Sad thing you meet the combine...

This way you could avoid NIS-es (non interactive sequences).

Edited by: Gosthy

so glados dies and the wall next to you magically brakes?

If glados dies and explodes, and the whole glados chamber goes boom, the explosion probably effect the whole complex. A few walls breaking down in an explosion is quite realistic.

i told my idea (also a bit sharki's idea) in forum test chambers yet.
combine will attack aparture caus they need portal technology (and maybe bobtechnology)
