There really isn't too much new coming from the Episode 2 preview from CVG, but some news is always good news, or something. The preview focuses on the new environments you'll experience in Episode 2, Worker Antlions, new shaders, a new character, as well as the attacks of the Hunter. Actually, there's quite a bit of spoilerific material in this preview now that I read through it all.
You and Alyx are driving and scrambling across mountainous, forested terrain, away from the spectacular smouldering ruins of City 17, but it's not easy going. A convoy of heavy Combine forces is racing you to White Forest, you're deep in Antlion country, and the Portal Storms that ravaged Earth in the first place have started up again. These green rifts let in Xen's monsters - headcrabs and the like - to soften up the Resistance, in preparation for a larger portal to the Combine dimension to bring their real forces through.Have a read, but be warned: There are spoilers a-plenty in this preview!
