I think it would be interesting to have a discussion for the last parts of what may be the greatest franchise of the PC.
My personal idea of "the end"
Episode 2 will lead us into the outskirts of Combine control in City 17. Without a central leader, the Combine act more as cells. This will play a key part in episode 2 and 3 as well i think. Rebels will be fighting, and defeating, the remaining Combine in the area. I also believe that the end of Episode 2 will bring Gordon back into the ruins of City 17, where he will find something that will blow your mind, maybe like a link to Xen, or some portal of that nature.
I also think that we will be seeing glimpses of new Xen aliens and combine units in 2 and 3.
I picture the end of Half Life 3 (?) to be a hitchhiking one of the "transmissions" from Episode 1, back to the combine home planet. From there, Gordon does his thing, Gman shows up, etc.
But heres the kicker. I think that the very last scene of the Game will be Gordon looking over the Gman, standing in the wreckage of the Earth. Humans are repopulating, the world is being rebuilt. The Gman congratulates Gordon in some way, and the Gordon actually speaks. Even just one word. Then who knows. Some cinematic pans of rebuilding.
Thats my idea, what are yours?
