So apparently, some missions (or the entire game) has got a timer.

    I'd probably think the mission with the timer is "FOLLOW FREEMAN!". Makes a bit sense.. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Sounds to me like those are general game-over scenarios, like killing a friendly in Blue Shift, or having a necessary Engineer die in Opposing Force.

    On a side note... it really confuses me that people go looking for this stuff. Do you really *want* to find out everything about the game before you play? I mean, think about your first time through Half-Life. There were some really memorable surprises: the first marine you run into, the first encounter with the assassins (when the barney gets shot mid-sentence), the beginning of Forget About Freeman... personally, I have no interest in reading the chapter titles of HL2 (and I didn't). I want to be surprised when I finally play through it for the first time. HL2 is going to be another memorable SP experience... I think people are so used to knowing everything about a multiplayer game that they've forgotten that part of the appeal of a SP game is learning as you go along.

    I mean, imagine if you knew about the original BFG. Or the gauss or gluon guns in HL. Or the Gargantua, or Gonarch. The surprise value of the original encounter would be lost forever.

    That's a good one. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    (For non-native english speakers, this might be a bit confusing. "In a pickle" is a saying, meaning more or less "in trouble".)

    <span style='color:red'>*COMMENT NUKED.* Given that HL2 has not yet been released, this comment could either serve only to get you in trouble, or not exist. I'd rather not see the banstick pulled out for something so trivial. -Talesin</span>

    Waht do you mean? Black plague posted nothing. That is why there is no message in the place he would have posted one. Doublethink, my friend.

    I read the chapter titles, and am already forgetting them as we speak. Type.

    But yeah, why do you people with those gcf explorers go looking for HL2 stuff anyway?

    Half-Life always has the best chapter names. They describe what's going on, but are really short and cool and have a hint of mystery. Other games mostly have titles like "Escape from prison", "Mining facility" or some boring crap.

    Either that, or a side-chapter.

    I don't know, I think it'll just be a location in or around C17 that serves a similar purpose as Black Mesa but in an Eastern European context. Black Mesa was wiped out by a nuclear blast 10 years prior to HL2, after all.
