THIS IS A FAN ART IMAGE, IT IS NOT A PROMOTIONAL OR OFFICIAL IMAGE FOR HALF-LIFE 2: EPISODE 3 OR HALF-LIFE 3 OR ANY OTHER TITLES OF VALVe SOFTWARE.

Half-Life / Portal fan art. I wanted to represent Chell in Portal 2 at first (the game is great by the way) but I thought it would be cool to put Gordon in the Borealis instead.
I don't think Gordon will use the ASHHPD in Half-Life 3 but it looked nice in the picture. I didn't bother to change the HEV suit's design, but I think it will be upgraded to Mark VI as it has been in upgraded to mark V in HL2.
For now, I'm just enjoying Portal 2 and waiting impatiently for anything on Half-Life 3.
Hope you like it!

if they do add a point in any future half life games where you enter the borealis, they NEED to have at least 1 portal easter egg!

Was Portal somehow telling us why the Combine is so interested in the Borealis?

Anyone ever notice that Cave Johnson mentions TIME TRAVEL? Could the Borealis contain such amazing shit as that???

Did you see the Borealis' dry dock in Portal 2? If not, here's a hint: It's at the top of the 70's Aperture lobby.

I think "THINK" Gordon will have the ASHPD because, who knows, Valve is full of secrets and surprises, but mostly trolls.

The-Strynx In reply to LooTennant [2012-03-17 13:36:32 +0000 UTC]

I know, it would be cool but I'm not sure it would fit well, but who knows? It's worth a try.

If this doesn't happen in the game, there will probably be some kind of Easter egg where it does!

This is a great picture! Both HL2 and Portal are represented very well!~

I'm really hoping HL and Portal cross in some way in the next game, aside from the Borealis.

And so do I, but either way I expect VALVe will release something amazing once more
