- Gravity gun will get new functionality

- Alyx is alive

- Vortigaunts will be more fleshed out

- More details about GMan will be revealed

- New vehicle will be introduced made by some guys in the woods. Will serve as enemy rammer

- You will cover the same amount of locales as in hl2 and the new locales will have a much more realistic feel to them since they are based off real locations (missile silo, mine shaft, etc.)

- Eli and Kleiner have set up base in the missile silo and you have to get the packet to them

-Most difficult Physics Puzzle ever to be put in episode 2.

- New weapon known as Strider buster

- Strider and Hunter now has a weak spot *could change*

-Big battlefield-esque combat engagements with lots of enemies and allies fighting. Woods provide plenty of cover

-And new yet-to-be-announced multiplayer game will ship with episode two...might it be TeamFortress 2:O set during the 7 Hour War?

LOL!! hunter dude...didn't mean't it for you:tongue:

@Tifosi-maybe they shd see the ep2 trailer as they don't show alyx getting killed,here's a clue it's related to the movie cliffhanger,dante's peak...wht's common in these 2 movies,tht's where she's...

Also I guess the hidden EP2 trailer is in the Episode 1 files
