Gordon Freeman, in the flesh - or, rather, in the hazard suit. I took the liberty of relieving you of your weapons. Most of them were government property. As for the suit, I think you've earned it. The borderworld, Xen, is in our control, for the time being... thanks to you. Quite a nasty piece of work you managed over there; I am impressed. That's why I'm here, Mr. Freeman. I have recommended your services to my... employers, and they have authorized me to offer you a job. They agree with me that you have limitless potential. You've proved yourself a decisive man so I don't expect you'll have any trouble deciding what to do. If you're interested, just step into the portal and I will take that as a yes. Otherwise, well, I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning... rather an anticlimax after what you've just survived. Time to choose...

Silence on a Half-Life game typically means it was abandoned but will never be officially canceled because they hate their fans and want them to have false hope forever.

i'm hyped that Ross finally did it.
we all thought the first one was an April Fool's joke, but it wasn't. god bless you ross, you are the saviour.
Levi Torres
Yo did Zen ever come out for Black Mesa?
Nolan Barnes
It's allegedly coming out THIS SUMMER, but who the fuck really knows
Eli Rodriguez
Haven't heard anything about it since they posted a screenshot last December.
Elijah Rogers
Any of you play Sven Co-Op?
Matthew Williams
Yeah seriously, how did Kleiner get the suit back?
Also I know Gordon never talks but you'd think he'd mention G-Man, as he didn't age in 20 years.
Justin Stewart
There were multiple HEV suits I'm pretty sure. Maybe Kleiner had one stashed away and never decided to use it for whatever reason.
Logan Morales
Yeah, also XEN was littered with bodies in HEV suits.
Juan Jones
They could have given it to Alyx.
Jack Rivera
Whenever someone hosts a server.
Colton Cook
what if all these bodies are actualy gordon freemans from other reality
Wyatt Harris
It was another suit entirely, a different, newer model.

>tfw the last HL2 writer has left Valve meaning all of the talent behind Portal and HL are gone by Valve yet idiotic Gaben worshippers still think EP3/HL3 will appear magically out of nowhere.

Looking towards the future, do we know where those writers went? Are they working for someone else?

Chet Faliszek said he doesn't know what he wants to do himself just yet.
Marc Laidlaw mentioned that he is tired of gamedev routine; therefore, I think it's safe to assume he will change the industry (he'll probably go back to writing books again).
Don't know about Erik Wolpaw though.
William Scott
i have lost all hope for half life 3.
its just not happening, valve is a huge clusterfuck that stays afloat because of the giant cashflow from steam.
If even half of the leaks from valve staff are true then its pretty damn obvious that half life 3 is better of never coming out, because we all know how duke nukem ended up.
Tyler Cox
>All we have on Episode 3 is concept art from 2008
>Valve has outright refused to talk about anything Half-Life since 2009
>Gabe Newell said after Portal 2 that they would rather focus on "games as a service"
>All of the writers and a bunch of other key people have left Valve, and the ones that didn't simply aren't interested in working on a traditional AAA singleplayer title
Trust me, it's still coming, we'll eventually get a half-decent clone of Half-Life, since someone is eventually going to try and cater to that potential market

Out of the our main writers of Half Life 2:
Erik Wolpaw left Valve in February 2017 and is working as a writer for Psychonauts 2.
Marc Laidlaw left in January 2016 and is working on his own original stories. One of the excuses he gave was his 'age' on why he left despite he was 56 and a writer not some type of construction worker or w/e.
Chet Faliszek is the one who left Valve over a month ago, he's working on an unannounced project.
Kelly Bailey (composer for Half Life, Portal) left in 2011, came back extremely brief in 2014 (no one knows what for) and by 2016 it was official he left Valve.
Viktor Antonov who was the art director for Half-Life 2 left Valve in 2012 and was the most vocal of all about Valve (not sure if he broke any TOA'a by announcing why he left). But this is what he said.
>"I left precisely when they stopped making epic, triple-As, which was Half-Life 2, since then, they were episodes. Valve is a great place, but I'm interested in projects, not in companies.
>"Valve has grown into a much bigger company, and what I really enjoy about the philosophy of Arkane is that it's a small, core team that does risky creative projects. And when I went to Valve, they were a small company. They've grown now, they're much bigger, and I'm interested in a certain level of creative risk taking and a certain energy that can be compared to jazz, jamming or rock n' roll, where it's small, it's intense and it's about making revolutions in the media.
I'm missing a couple of more, but you get the gist. Most of Valve's talent has been bleeding out of the company for the past couple of years. To anyone who says "yeah well you know they can replace them I'm sure they did!" well would've gotten some type of hint on who Valve hired at this point. And for a Half Life sequel, you're going to need some type of consistency, especially after losing all your story writers.

you think the "every time Sup Forums has a fat joke about gabe newell he releases the game a year later" meme was just a joke?
The game is coming out somewhere around the time the universe ends with heath death
We really went overboard with the fat jokes...
Austin Watson
Thanks I could help, bro!
Camden Reyes
