![]() ![]() Quickly it’s made clear the Breen doesn’t want to exist in his current state and is a prisoner of the Combine, and Gordon finds a more ethical way of ending him than how Alyx would have preferred. Breen, who died in a previous installment but whose personality was grafted on to what is described as a biological blank (slug). Ironically, it turns out the pair are the ones detained, first thought to be by the Combine, but instead by the underling of Dr. After this, the pair continue heading for the Borealis, who appears to be switching in and out of dimensions and is about to be captured by the Combine. Unsurprisingly, along the way their transport is taken out of the sky, and there is a good deal of trauma induced amnesia. Picking up after the death of Eli Vance, the story follows Freeman and Alyx Vance into the Antarctic wastes to find the ship Borealis, one that Eli very much wanted destroyed but the rest of the team thought could hold a promise of salvation. ![]() After apologizing for the delay, he quickly delves into what should be going on in this episode. Written in the view of Gordon Freeman, it first addresses the fact that he has not been seen or heard from in quite some time, attributing that to crossing dimensions and being wholly unable to communicate as a result. The document itself is composed much like a memoir of a soldier after a war. Laidlaw ended up leaving the company not too long ago and thus appears to either have posted this as a means of gaining hype, or over frustration that the game hasn’t been released in basically a decade. According to most sources, as well as the “script-like” document which can be found on Github, it appears it was more like a Half-Life 2: Episode 3, which is still a step in the right direction. Is this the fabled Half-Life 3 that has been the cause of memes, conspiracy theorists (seriously, some people think the Illuminati are causing H元 to not be released) and people to prod fun at Gabe for never releasing a third installment of everything? Well, probably not. Sort of.įirst off, let’s dispel a few common rumors floating around the internet. So let’s take our crowbars and crack this case, shall we? Just as a fair warning to all those who haven’t played the Half-Life series, there’s going to be a good deal of spoilers and spoilers related discussion ahead. Well, much to our surprise and with little announcement, the specter of what made Valve the company it is today crept out to the world by way of writer Marc Laidlaw. Most players would think that if a game’s main character has a habit of drifting in and out of time, the franchise itself would pop in and say hi to the fans once in a while. It might not be what we wanted, as it is certainly a bittersweet ending, but it allows us to put Gordon Freeman's story to rest for the final time - at least, until Valve says otherwise.It’s been a long wait for any word on the Half Life Franchise. Although this storyline seems incomplete to say the least, and may not be current given Valve's tendency to constantly evolve their stories and game assets, it is a turning point for Half-Life fans we finally have some sort of closure, even if it is brief. Given Valve's silence on the matter of the final Half-Life game, the fact that we now have a storyline to read through is incredible. In conclusion, this "leak" represents a huge revelation for Half-Life fans. Laidlaw bids farewell to players of the Half-Life series it is as much an equal measure Laidlaw's personal eulogy for both the Half-Life series and his time in the gaming industry, as it is a final demonstration of the Half-Life 3 plot. The blog post also alludes to Laidlaw's retirement and his personal story working in the gaming industry. If you can't figure out the actual names of the character's, here's an edited version of the above text, corrected by Jackathan, with all names changed to the proper ones: ![]()
