A snippet from a 2 page article on the Hl2 Expansion pack (mostly speculation) in PC GAMER UK. I'd post scans but its probably a bad idea. Naturally, Hl2world has them up. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

No kidding?
Do I look like I care?
/me looks at DoD, notices that I didn't have to pay for it
/me looks at DoD:S, notices that I don't have it
hmm, a connection there?
I'm not paying for this, I payed for HL2, hoping that vALVE would be cool about it like they were with HL1. So far, I'm dissapointed.
Personally I don't think an expansion where you play as Alyx would work at all.
Why?
Because she talks. A lot. She talks your head off in HL2, so playing as her and you being completely silent would be a serious deravation of her character, and thus break the theme, or even worse she would still talk duke nukem style and that would break the theme...
I'd much rather have something more like OpFor anyway. Like you're a member of Civil Protection but somewhere along the ways you get double crossed and etc.
I realize that, but then they made steam manditory. I dunno, I just feel like if steam is going to be there, I should get free stuff <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'd just like Adrian Shephard to return to kick some Combine butt.

You don't have to pay for it because it comes with the half-life platinum pack, which is what you have if you bought over steam. I'm sure in 5 years when everyone is talking about half-life 3 we'll have a platinum pack with all of half-life 2's official mods for free.
Well, he DID nuke Black Mesa...
Where you play the G-man.
It'd be more of a puzzle game, really. The player has to stay one step ahead of Gordon, Barney, Adrian Shepherd, etc, and use things like the physics engine and limited strategic positioning of supplies to determine the outcome of the human race.

Maybe we get to play as dog.

\o/
[EDIT] Think about it - Alyx could grab your head like she does in HL2 and your screen would tilt. How awesome would that be? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'd pay good money to play a nice SP campaign as dog. ^_^

Dog Pound. :P
OpFor2: revenge of Shephard. In this mod we see Shephard break loose out of his Xen prison after many years. Intent on revenge, he jumps a portal straight into the middle of the Combine fray, being faced with dilemmas just like Gordon was, only at the end, he gets a similar proposition from the Gman.
HL3: Gordon has done his bit so far. With the Citidel in C17 gone, he's left in stasis again. As far as he knows, Alyx is dead, and the Gman is a bastard again. Now he's brought out mere hours later, for him seemingly a blink of an eye. He has to get to the combine homeworld and take on the slimey sumbitches head on. With that said though, he's got to have some more time travel confusion, just to make things a little worse.

Didn't Shepherd get herded off to some penal colony on Pluto?

Hahahaha you said penal..... uh... .... *looks around with shifty eyes*
The gman pack would be fun... beating people to death with a briefcase like in SI.

No reason that Gordon even has to make an appearance while you're playing Alyx/Dog. Maybe the game'll just be the sections of HL2 where you're not with her, like the ravenholm bit.....and most everything after that....
