Yeah, heard of this yesterday. In one way it might be bad, since all people allready call it Aftermath. I will probably keep calling it Aftermath - that was a good name!Half-Life 2: Episode One…what will we call it? HL2:EO ? HL2:E1 ?[E1DQ.net](http://E1DQ.net)…coming soon 😉 ---

The thing that interests me the most about “Aftermath” (yes, I still call it that) is the new weapons (if there will be any). I hope there will be some more crazy weapons like the grav-gun 😃 About 2 more months to wait…Does anybody think we are going to start speed-running it also? ---

Since Half-Life 2 is nearly Done Quick, wouldn’t it be kind of waste if everybody just “vanished” again?Seems like this (first) expansion pack is going to be released just after this project is done, so I think it would be quite obvious to start running it, too. 😉 ---

It will be cool to start running a new HL2-sort-of-game again. I really enjoyed finding the roots and other cool stuff in the game. I will try and go through it really quickly, because its more fun if you find it yourself, than watching somebodys demo 🙂 ---

Dale, no new info there TBH 😃 Physics, digital actors, highly detailed enviroments, at… and the other stuff is the same old, same old. They always brag about their AI, but it sucks, If they were real players, you couldn’t take on 10 of them at the same time (well if they are noobs you could…). THey should consider making some decent bots like the CPMA bots. He bots are stupid and can barely navigate the physics… Thats my rant, I still LOVE the game 😃 But HL2: DM Pro is still beter 😛 ---

[http://media.pc.ign.com/media/740/740555/imgs\_1.html](http://media.pc.ign.com/media/740/740555/imgs_1.html)I looked at them for a second… and then made a gross relization.

Hmm, Its possible that you fall down with the explosion and survives somehow. And thats where you see the super gravgun. I dont think it will be in the inventory when you exit the citadel.EDIT:Why is there barrels in the sky in this one?

Cant remember the name atm but I remember that is was very well mapped. in the same class as valve.One of the ones I was looking for is minerva:[http://www.hylobatidae.org/minerva/](http://www.hylobatidae.org/minerva/) [Next page](https://forums.sourceruns.org/t/aftermath-changes-name/1486.md?page=2)
