[edit] Ep2

Sorry about the delay, you caught me trying out the bonus maps in Portal. I wasn't expecting a message. I'll summarise it (fairly) quickly for you. If you have any questions, or whatever, if I didn't explain it well enough, feel free to ask me Here goes:

You "wake up" after Ep1, in a train carriage under a destroyed rail bridge and head off with Alyx. After a short walk involving a few enemies, Alyx gets attacked by a hunter and gets stabbed. A vortigaunt saves you both, you head through some mines until you meet up with the vorti again in a shaft, where the vorti starts healing her. A few more vortis show up and you are sent down to the bottom of this shaft, through the giant antlion burrow, right down to the bottom (along with a vorti) to fetch some larval extract from the antlions' spawning lair (or something) which apparently has some healing powers. Or rather, the vorti eats it, so maybe it boosts his power. You both go back up, and partake in a healing ritual of some kind, whereupon the G-man gets to you and tells you a bit about Alyx (I don't want to spoil all the surprises, send me another message if you want to know what he says). Alyx is healed, and you both head off with the vorti, out of the shaft. You come across two antlion guardians at once, in the first real boss battle, then head on to the bridge seen in the trailers (the one where the girders bend etc). After dodging zombies and toxic water you get to the other side and the car so talked about, which you spend the rest of the game with. After driving back across the (collapsing) bridge, you leave the vorti and head off with Alyx. There's a fair amount of driving then, like Half-Life 2 proper, and a few places where you have to get out to clear your path. You fight the combine gunship which drops the spherical mines (as seen in the trailer), defeat a combine ambush and eventually make it to Kleiner and Vance's base. After dealing with a combine invasion of the second silo, they prepare to fire a rocket (as seen in the trailer) into orbit to close the huge portal over the remains of the Citadel. Meanwhile, tons of striders and hunters appear, and you go out into the surrounding area with the car to join loads of rebels in fighting them - this is where the new weapon (the Magnusson device) for killing striders is used. Finally, after wiping out the entire attacking force, you fire the rocket up, and prepare to leave with Alyx for Mossman's arctic base, as seen in Ep1. At the last minute, two advisors appear, and a leading character is killed. Again, I don't want to spoil too many surprises, so I won't say who unless you send me another message asking.

Hope that is what you were looking for. As I say, if you have any queries, feel free to ask me for more info. Falastur2 22:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
