Looks very gimicky to me, but since it comes with those others.. I'd prolly play it (if I owned HL2). Gimicky can be fun.

i just hope that theres story behind it instead of just levels.
its supposedly set around the time of H-L (i think) so there should be some story... yet again, hopefully.

Yea...but think about the consequences if it is around (Edit)...Half Life 2 storyline.
Combine Soldier Researching Portal technology....that'd be hard to fight an enemy that pops in from a wall, at any given time with a damn portal gun.

If you wanna play the game right now, take a look at Narbacular Drop. This is the original concept. Some of the designers and programmers were hired by valve, after they won some price.

not really, thats not how the portal gun works after all, it doesnt make portals in a From -> To thing... lets see how to explain this... i think youre thinking of a portal that is immediatly set to one place when you make it, the portals in the game need to be manually set, so the combine would have to set one portal near like a machine gun (so the gun is looking at the portal) and then run aaaalll the way over to next to you, and set another portal so the machine gun can shoot at you without hoving.
..................wall........wall
so... I= - - - || portals || - - - x_x
......MG,bullets...................Dead = You

and thats actually a VERY good idea to use, find a remote machine gun, set two portals and you can keep check on your enemies =)
