Talk:Half-Life 2: Episode One

Making something to inform of Spoilers.
In the "plot" section of the article on almost anything, the text contains spoilers which one might not want to read. So there should be a warning or the plot should be put in a text box that can be opened when you want to read it. Just an opinion. 122.173.170.67 (talk) 08:49, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Developer's commentary
Hi. I don't want to make unsourced changes to a featured article, but I think it's worth mentioning that this is the first 'proper' Valve title to feature developer's commentary. It first appeared in Lost Coast but that was really just a demonstration level. - Richard Cavell (talk) 11:42, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Valve Task Force Re-vitalization
Attention, all contributors to the Valve Task Force and the articles it constitutes!

I am here to announce that I will be re-vitalizing the Valve Task Force, aimed at universally improving articles constituting Valve Corporation, their employees, associates and products. This specific task force has been dormant for quite some time and with two very notable releases coming out this year, I feel like this is the appropriate time to re-stimulate the general aim of this group. For those who are not already members of the Valve Task Force, feel free to add your name to our members list and contribute to whatever articles you feel your contributions may prove beneficial for. Valve, its products and notable employees have proven to be essential to the progression of the video game industry, so I'd like to make a call of arms for this cause.

Non-PC Release Dates
This article erroneously implies that Episode One launched for all platforms on June 1st, 2006. This is not true. The Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of Episode One were only released in 2007 as part of the Orange Box compilation, and the Mac OS X version of Episode One was launched in 2010. I am going to attempt to correct the Release Date box for Episode One to reflect the differing release dates as was done in the Half-Life 2 and Episode Two articles. If anyone objects to this correction please provide reasoning on this talk page. --67.20.248.170 (talk) 10:05, 16 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Upon further review I do not have the formatting skills to correct the release dates. If someone would kindly make this correction for me it would be greatly appreciated. The current (June 1, 2006) release date is for Microsoft Windows. The Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Mac OS X release dates are the same as for Half-Life 2. The appropriate references are in the Half-Life 2 article. --67.20.248.170 (talk) 10:13, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

System requirements
What are the Windows PC system requirements? Shouldn't these be added to the article? Axl ¤  [Talk]  14:19, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
 * System requirements are considered inappropriate content and should be included only on games which have notable system requirements. Nicereddy (talk) 05:35, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Legacy section
A decade out and several retrospectives later, doesn't this need a legacy section? We can start with http://www.usgamer.net/articles/10-years-ago-half-life-2-episode-one-began-valves-trail-of-broken-promises  czar  23:09, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
