Valve Launches First of an Episodic Trilogy
Bellevue, WA, June 1, 2006 - Valve®, developer of the blockbuster series Half-Life® and Counter-Strike™, announced Half-Life® 2: Episode One is now available via Steamgames.com for just $19.95 and at retail outlets around the world.
The first in a trilogy of episodic games, Episode One reveals the aftermath of Half-Life 2 and launches a journey beyond City 17. Episode One does not require Half-Life 2 to play and also includes a first look at Episode Two, which will ship by year's end.
In addition to the new single player experience, two multiplayer games are included. And those who purchase Episode One will have free access via Steam (www.steamgames.com) to Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, the interactive technology demo that introduces High Dynamic Range lighting to the SourceTM Engine, Valve's award-winning game technology.
Gordon is a leader, though. To the people.
Yes, Gordon isn't making major tactical decisions like Washington. But the people don't know this. Look at the way the rebels act when Gordon is around. They all look up to him as the symbol of the war. Much the way the revolutionaries looked up to Washington.
I can appreciate that Gordon is an inspirational or galvanizing figure for these people and a leader wholly for that fact that people will follow him, and I can see that working as the scientist throw into a bad situation arising a hero, but it doesn’t concur with the mute whipping boy we now have.
As for Achilles being a hired mercenary, that's very accurate as to what Gordon is thanks to the G-Man. Gordon kills what he is told to kill without question. How is that not a hired mercenary?
Hired suggest a contract or agreement, a yes or no situation, something Gordon is never offered, or something he never seeks, Gordon is not hired.
I cannot argue about this anymore, and I am not ceding any of my amazing points, but I think we have to agree to disagree, as they say.
Edit:
You guys are scaring me...
You liiike it.
