10 Endings for Half Life 2 Episode 3 Part II

So about them endings! Lets see what the Internet has to say about that.

To be honest I was expecting more ideas. Most of the theories more or less are the same, which is not that surprising. I mean, we have been waiting for more than 6 years for Episode 3, and the ideas and theories about the plot and the ending are lessened to two or three dozens, fashioned in a compact and optimal scenarios.

Some endings are actually simillar to mine, even the same, which is nice in a way. So, here we go..


Ending 1: "All this speculations of Gordon's death made me imagine the Borealis falling into a canyon of ice after having gotten bombed out of the ice wall it was embedded into, and Gordon battling an Advisor in freefall."#

Ending 2: "If the G-Man is going to put Gordon in statis again, he must put Alyx in statis as well.

I mean, I might be in the minority, but Alyx has become one of Half-Life crucial charactes by now, and her bond with Gordon is so strong that he can't lose her now. Besides, G-Man obivously thinks highly of Alyx to a point (given the Episode 2 "heart to heart"), so it isn't all that imerspercievable."

                                   Freeman, standing face to face with an Advisor.

 
Ending 3: This one is actually pretty decent.."I think that Dr.Mossman was there to plunder the Borealis for supplys to fight the Combine and she left quickly from White Forest so Eli wouldn't stop her when he found out what she was doing. The resistance obviously want to defeat the Combine so head to the Borealis and start to prepare for the final battles against the Combine. Gordon and Alyx dtermined to fullfill Elis last wishes set off to destroy the Borealis. The resistance is split between those on Dr.Mossmans who want more than anything to destroy the Combine but are willing to take the risk of the equipment being dangerous and start another Resonance Cascade, and on Gordans side those who are loyal to him and Alyx and who knew Eli personally like Dr.Kleiner. A civil war over the ship would begin which the combine instantly recognize as their chance to strike, destroy the Resistance and get the equipment to make a new Portal. An instant three way battle begins and the resistance are for the moment forced to work together. Dr.Mossman, seeing every last Combine coming towards them sneaks off from the battle to fire up the Aperture weapons to destroy the Combine armies. Gordon and Alyx flee after her and try to stop her but are too late. A portal is created sucking all the Combine back into their dimension. But it goes wrong the portal starts a resonancce cascade and a portal to a whole new world opens. As thousands af aliens come through destroying the rebel resistance and beginning their invasion of Earth, the GMan appears and plucks Gorgon and Alyx to safety. Gordon remembers Eli's words about fughting back and simply says NO and fights back from the GMan. The GMan struggles and fights back but in the end reliases he's lost his servant and drags the confused Alyx away. Gordon appears back on the doomed Earth just as the Portal overloads and explodes. Half-Life 3 Begins."

Ending 4: "My way of thinking is this. ( this isn't confirmed or anything)

Half life= Black Mesa Incident+ Resonance Cascade,
Half life 2= start of resistance, death of breen
ep1= destruction of citadel, evacuation of city 17
ep2= regrouping of humans and combine, attempt of super portal foiled.
ep3= destruction/use of Borealis, liberation of Earth
HL3=destruction of all combine

there's more to it, gman, alyx, Vortigaunts, Nihilanth. but I don't feel like typing it all.

it's probably wrong but it's better than some."

Ending 5: "WIth EP3 however I hope they finally reveal a decent ending besides 2-5 min of the previous games.

I hope we finally see what the "unforeseen consequences" are without waiting half a decade.

I think it will basically involve something like HL1 where you travel the combine home world and defeat the thing in charge of the combine and far worse than the advisors."

Ending 6: "This is how I think it will end...Gordon and Alyx will find Mossman at the Borealis. They will take any Aperture technology that will aid the resistance then destroy the ship to prevent the Combine from obtaining any of it's secrets. The Gman will show up after the ship is destroyed and try to take Gordon and Alyx back into his control. They will refuse and a Boss fight will follow. After the Gman is defeated he will reveal his secret (insert any GMan conspiracy theory here) and the game will End.

Half-Life 3 should then be something like they find the remaining Combine trying to build another citadel in city 18 and the resistance must, and will defeat the Combine there Once and for all. "

Ending 7: "I think that after they find mossman, the combine raid the ship and they are forced to go to an ice island, where they battle a huge Ice Antlion. Mossman is killed during the rampage. Then the creature is destroyed and they go to a huge citadel 5x bigger. They then learn who the gman is then they go to destroy the portal. when the gman tries to kill Gordon, alyx gets seriously injured. after gordon destroys the Gman, alyx says something to Gordon, then she dies. After that, the portal goes catostrophic and explodes violetnly. Then Gordon hears a mysterious voice say, "Well, Well isn't this just like.. old times". after that the screen goes black and the credits roll. "

Ending 8: Portal is involved here "Half-life 3 won't be about the combine, it's going to go with the timeline, but it will be a spin-off of some event that happened in episode 3, but Gman will be there, most likely still unidentified.

But think of the crazy ass technology will be in Half-life 3, NOW we have the gravity gun and other super stuff, whats next?

I also bet that gordans suit will have its own AI, most likely it will help guide him through the story and say some random stuff. MAYBE Glados will get linked into gordans suit and be used to destroy the combine and help gordan along the way, like up-load into computers, but I bet Glados will be in episode 3, because her body was destroyed but she could have a back-up in the ship."

Ending 9: And again Portal "I'm guessing that for the last like 15 minutes of EP3, we will get the Portal gun, have a quick puzzle followed by a crazy battle that ends the episode, sets the stage for HL3, and leaves us drooling for more."

Ending 10: "Once the Borealis technology is retrieved in EP3, Gordon will be armed with enough power that he can be sent to the Combine world, in his usual one-man army fashion, via the Black Mesa team's portal technology in conjunction with the stolen portal code. Gman will probably show up and throw a wrench into the mix, but I think the skinny of it will still be: Gordon on the Combine Homeworld with the Portal Gun. Also, this might be a way of removing Alyx as a perpetual ally - not that I don't like having her along, but not always having an NPC with you is nice too."

18 Endings for Half Life 2 Episode 3 Part I

Lets start with the fact that I put the Half Life series next to those of Heroes III on my pedestal of all time favourites. I just love the game and all that is connected to it (for example Portal and Portal 2). Gordon Freeman is a one of the most famous and loved hero in the history of virtual games. Actually I can make a whole different topic about how great and awesome Half Life is, but that's not the point here.

So, we all got bored of waiting for Episode 3 to come out. This Spring I read somewhere that Valve have tested and were prepared to release a beta version of Ep.3. And this was almost an year ago, maybe its another hoax or maybe the beta will come out every moment now. Anyway, die hard fans like me just can't stop thinking about it and thus coming up with crazy ideas about the end of the next chapter. Will it be the end of all? As far as I know Yes. Half Life series will stop after Ep.3, but that doesn't mean that another spin off won't bring down the walls of our sanity.

Let's get to the topic. Possible endings, that I made up. Later I will post some more, found in the vast void called Da Internet!

First, let's get the facts straight. Freeman must set off to Borealis, where he must find/save Dr. Mossman and then he must think of a way to defeat the combine. But, Borealis is a part of the Aperture co. , which are the creators of the portal device and tons of other stuff, mainplotting the Portal series. So, will Freeman and Portal merge? Most likely not for more than one reason, for example - those are two diferent games, and such act would make the franchise sell out; Portal is set to be happening along the accident in Black Mesa, Portal 2 - some years into the future where there are no Combine (self spoiler).

Note: On every idea of an ending Alyx may or may not be alive.

Ending 1: Freeman will find a portal device that will send him:
a) back to the past, preventing the Black Mesa accident,
b) back to the past, to the homeworld of the Combine - kicking ass,
c) to the dimention of the Combine - kicking ass,
d) to a different reality/dimention where the G-man will put him back to sleep (maybe a next chapter or something will come up)

Ending 2: Fight all the Advisors and destroy any connection between the Combine and planet Earth. Maybe some kind of a race between the two factions to find a portal or a teleport or something else.

Ending 3: Trough some weird way Freeman will send the alive Nihilanth (maybe the Vortigaunts will ally with him) from the past to face the Combine mastermind and let them eat each other up, leaving Earth alone.

Ending 4: After Freeman defeats the Combine on Earth, a new party comes out of nowhere - maybe the X-race or something new.

Ending 5: Mossman becomes evil, finding a powerfull portal, while Freeman and Combine race for it. Both parties try to stop her from destroying the universe.

Ending 6: Freeman will fight Adrian Shephard, who is mad at Freeman for many reasons.

Ending 7: Freeman will fight the G-man. I dunno what kind of power will Gordon find in Borealis, but there should be something that may be used against the G-man.

Ending 8: The G-man will help Freeman defeat the Combine. Maybe an ally battle of epic proportions will follow.

Ending 9: Freeman gives his life to save all. Seconds before the end of the credits the G-man shows up and says something about Freeman not being dead yet.

Ending 10: The Combine, or someone else wins. Freeman and/or Earth die.

Ending 11: Vortiguants kill the G-man and give Freeman great power. An epic ass kicking follows.

Ending 12: Freeman will be turned against humanity. Maybe he will be turned against everyone and will end being alone or also dead.

Ending 13: Freeman makes the forgotten experiment in Borealis work - doomday device.

Ending 14: Freeman uses what he finds in Borealis to defeat the bad guys, and marries Alyx. Or Alyx gives her life to save all.

Ending 15: Freeman fights the Combine along with Adrian Shephard. That would be epic.

Ending 16: Freeman finds a device that will connect all the Virtiguants powers and use it to destroy the Combine/Universe.

Ending 17: Nothing. World comes to an end and Ep.3 is never realesed.

Ending 18: Freeman finds a new race in Borealis and uses it to destroy the Combine. Or they take over the world.

Hm...got a little caried away. Well, I will wet myself if some of these guesses actually happen. The topic is open to speculations. Mmmm I guess I'll put the internet Endings in the next post.
