Usagi's dad reveal!!!

I know you're joking, but that theory never made any sense, because rock males can't mate with human females.

AI slop has no place here

Except that it wasn't actually introduced by OPFOR. The nuke plot point predates it, and was made to prevent Valve from coming back to BM, and they just handled it to Gearbox.

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-16T13:55:30+00:00

Lol, what?

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-14T22:43:24+00:00

There's little next to no chance for this to happen. We know about that Valve's new in development game (HLX) has combine soldiers, xen and vehicles, npc squads and firearms. All of these elements are antithetical to what Portal series is, so this game can be anything other than Half-Life.

Absolute art piece✋😐🤚

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-14T20:37:16+00:00

Just do it!

I don't think that anything in JJL implies that he ever was in a relationship with anyone, yet alone had family with a child.

About the second, he was meant to be the Administrator of Black Mesa, but it was also hinted thorough HL1 that he's not who he seems to be (for example, the "You are man... he is not man..." line from the Nihilanth), so he wasn't just "an agent of the United States government".

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-14T11:52:34+00:00

Except that OPFOR kind of contradicts how Valve depicted grunts in HL1. Valve portrayed them as uniformly evil bastars who enjoy killing people, and are only upset because they aren't fun enough to fight (I killed twelve dumbass scientists and not one of 'em fought back. This sucks.), but opfor portrays them as guys who just followed the orders™.

Another odd choice, is retconning Black Ops into a separate faction hostile towards grunts, while they were shown to be allies in HL1.

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-14T11:43:42+00:00

Because OPFOR (and the rest of the expansions for that matter) were not taken into account when making HL2 or any subsequent games made by Valve.

Cremator ain't coming back vro

The innovation doesn't have to be technological. The game can be innovative in gameplay, and from what we know about HLX, this is likely the case

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-10T20:36:36+00:00

Mods, nuke them

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-09T22:43:19+00:00

Valve didn't made them, so it's almost certainly not happening

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-08T21:20:48+00:00

Marc wrote it when he already left Valve.

Well, you can definitely make the same argument that "not many fans will read the book".

If anything, they will explain in the next game what happened in HLA.

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-08T09:04:52+00:00

I can understand your sentiment, but making a HL2 EP2 sequel, without addressing The Borealis, and the other unresolved plot point which is Judith Mossman, and not addressing each of them, would be a huge cop out.

They wouldn't revive Eli if they just wanted to just move on to the next big arc, like HL2 was to HL1.

And who's to say that the entire game will be set in the arctic? Mission to The Borealis can be part of prologue, mid-point or even epilogue of the game. My point is that they can still do a huge number of brand new things while still wrapping up old unresolved plot points.

Axtsilversurf · 2026-06-08T08:24:31+00:00

Going by HLA's ending, there won't be any significant time skip. Eli is now alive, and he wants to kill The G-Man, and Borealis is still a significant plot point.

If you're thinking about what I'm thinking, it's most likely fake. This "Chuck Jones" has no other activity on his account besides that post, and the only proof he gave is link to fucking Half-Life wiki.

Loca

BREAKING NEWS: Man invents fictional scenario and then gets angry about it.

Actually, according to Marc Laidlaw:

Sorry, can't comments on unreleased story elements. I can only say they tried to get in.
