Hey guys, just to let you know that all the hard work you've put into that boat level is going down the drain, lol. We're making it into some obscure easter egg that only a few eagle-eyed players will see.
kthx

WRONG-O

In fact, the Borealis is planned to appear in Half-life 2: Episode 3/Half-Life 3, and it plays a semi-signifigcant role in Half-life 2: Episode 2, where you have to deliver data holding the sighting of the Borealis.

its much MUCH more than an easter-egg, unless you consider its easter egg in Portal 2, where you can find some Borealis life-tubes around its dry dock.

IC you don't know, the Borealis is an Aperture vessel that vanished, suggestedly by portal technology.

Who knows, Valve might even bring back this designed borealis in Episode 3.

And i'm not trying to advertise or anything, but the popular Missing Information fan-mod fixed the Borealis stage from the HL2 beta, check it out if you want to live a piece of Half-life 2 history.
