Half-Life

[FreshBazuble]

I know its a silly thing to say, but I hope we can get a gordon freeman cardboard cut out as a ship decoration (maybe even half life themed cosmetics). I say this because of the half life easter egg (?) in the tenno con hang out located in the mall of the 1999 time line.

It's a little sad. In the year that Half-Life came out, Unreal was also released. Unreal was a game Digital Extremes actually worked on. It would've been a fun historical easter egg.

I think that they should have done an unreal easter egg as well (I never played older unreal games, but I did play alot of unreal tournament 3 when I was younger)

For what it's worth, there was an Unreal Tournament promotion back when Warframe joined the epic games store which contained weapon skins for the Ogris, Drakgoon and Stahlta to make them appear like the Rocket Launcher, Flak Cannon and Shock Rifles respectively. But I don't know if that cosmetic bundle is available anymore.

Wikipedia had an interesting link for further reading.

It's an interview with Tim Sweeney, Cliff Bleszinzki, and James Schmalz talking about developing of Unreal. You probably have heard of the first two names. If you don't recognize James Schmalz, he founded Digital Extremes in 1993.

I'm gonna go check the arcade in that mall again, see if there's a pinball table. Cuz...

Genius. Are you suggesting that DE nest a small unreal tournament area, as an Easter egg into 1999? Or just a poster of unreal in the city of 1999 somewhere? - DE may not have the IP rights.

Wait, DE worked on epic pinball? I did not know that. Never played that but heard of that.

[The Big Brzezinski]

Maybe. Unreal Tournament was a game from 1999 developed in part by DE.
