While ep1 was a bit boring the story was still pretty good, and the gameplay was good either, i agree that ep2 was better, and the part of the story was also better, we just wanted a playable ending of the saga, what we get almost 10 years later, is the plot wrote by its creator with obfuscated names, and reading this, the game would've been even better than ep2 which was already pretty good. I can't see what people really saw in the last couple of entries of the gameGet outta here.
If Episode 3 or even a H元 came out, I wouldn't bat an eye and go about my life. Episode 2 was better, but felt a lot shorter than Episode 1 and it didn't leave me at a point wanting to know what happened next. I found it really annoying when Episode 1 was basically built around the gravity gun through most of the game.as neat as the gun was from HL2, the novelty of it wore off real fast and the game felt like a big, boring chore. NeatfeatguyI wasn't overly impressed with Episode 1 or Episode 2. There are also some interesting hints for a subsequent Half-Life 3, but alas, that one is even more of a mirage. Follow the source links for Laidlaw's site, as well as GitHub and Pastebin links for the corrected story. The fact that Laidlaw says this is fanfiction can be interpreted as a line of defense against lawsuits - as is the fact that he slightly altered the character's names from their originals (Gertrude Fremont seems a lost opportunity for Gordon Freeman's actual name.) Perhaps some crafty, dedicated users will create a mod that brings this story to fruition? Time will tell for now, this seems to be as much closure as we're ever going to get.
Whether or not this closely resembles the would-be script for that third Half-Life installment only Laidlaw knows perhaps this is just the writer's own take on what the story should have been, lacking any of the changes that it would incur during the development process.
He then gave a heads-up through his Twitter account, commenting on the fact that his website was brought down by the sheer amount of traffic it generated, Laidlaw said "I guess fanfic is popular, even a genderswapped snapshot of a dream I had many years ago." The writer, who recently left Valve after 18 years working for the company, posted the story entitled "Epistle 3" on his personal blog (which is, naturally experiencing heavy traffic). In what might sadly be the closest we'll ever get to knowing Valve's original plans for Half Life 2: Episode 3, if you will, Ex-Valve lead writer on Half-Life Marc Laidlaw has released a prospective, would-be script for the game that never came to be.
