So the obvious things to talk about are weapons. An ice gun? A flamethrower? Two brand new weapons that could be seen in Half-Life 3? That’s completely acceptable. The more interesting aspects, the “weaponizer†attributes of liquid, concrete, and metal are where the head scratching can commence.
One of the most important tools/weapons Gordon Freeman possessed throughout his exploits in Half-Life 2 was the Gravity Gun, enabling him to turn regular items into devastating weapons. Now will the “Weaponizer†be another tool that allows Freeman to manipulate the physics of objects, turning them into liquid, concrete, or metal? Or will it let players manipulate liquid, concrete, or metal? See? Told you head scratching would be inevitable.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm casually optimistic but will also be handing out tinfoil hats for those in need. A weapon manipulating solid and liquid state of materials would be really neat. I've imagined the effects used to make the liquid in Portal 2 could be made into a weapon of sorts. <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>A weapon that hates the human skeleton</span>

You can collect your cubic metre of salt at the front desk.

Hope they don't, the story and setting changed so enormously from 1 to 2 that any less of a jump from 2 to 3 would be very disappointing.
Take information with a large grain of salt (preferably a dump truck load)
Those undertones are only there for nerdhorny hornnerds.
You forgot horny old men, dur.
If only it was more like Mass Effect, huh?

Then you'd have the choice of screwing a Vortigaunt.

I hate you so much right now.
