Half-Life 3 blev som bekant aldrig verklighet så hur det gick för Gordon Freeman och världen vet vi inte. Men om vi får tro seriens tidigare författare Marc Laidlaw, så skulle inte Half-Life 3 (eller Half-Life 2: Episode 3) ha erbjudit något komplett slut ändå, eftersom fler spel var planerade.
Laidlaw säger att han inte vet om Half-Life 3 någonsin kommer släppas, men även om utvecklingen kom igång igen så är han inte intresserad av att gå tillbaka till Valve:
"No idea. And I have no interest in going back. I had ideas for Episode 3. They were all supposed to take the series to a point where I could step away from it and leave it to the next generation. I had hoped for a reset between HL2 and HL3 that was as dramatic as the shift between HL1 and HL2. --- Unfortunately, I was not able to do that. But I never thought as far ahead as HL3, unless you were to say that HL3 and Episode 3 were the same thing."
Han fortsätter med att berätta om det tänkta slutet:
"I will say that I expected every installment would end without resolution, forever and ever... --- My intention was that Ep3 would simply tie up the plot threads that were particular to HL2. But it would still end like HL1 and HL2, with Gordon in an indeterminate space, on hold, waiting for the next game to begin. So one cliffhanger after another."
...och med det sagt fortsätter Half-Life 3 vara ett svidande, öppet sår i spelvärlden vars storyn vi aldrig lär få avsluta.
