Half-Life 3 Speculation

[Korten12]

On IGN's latest article they were doing speculation and at the bottum had this:

And now for something totally crazy...

Maybe the next Half-Life won't be a single-player game at all. Maybe Valve is completely changing the format and making it a multiplayer experience where you can fight alongside Gordon, Alyx and resistance fighters or as the Combine soldiers. Considering Valve's commitment to microtransactions seen in everything from the now free-to-play Team Fortress 2 to the overpriced robot accessories in Portal 2, it's very, very, very, very remotely possible something like this might find its way into Half-Life.

----------------------------------------------------------

I don't think this could happen, but imagine this:

You start out the game, creating a resistance (maybe combine), and you go through various missions with other players and Valve keeps updating the game with missions that push the story and depending on how many players do this or this, changes the path the story will take.

And eventually reaching the end.

I know some will cry fowl for not being SP, but I think that could work out, sort of.

Gordon gets shrunk and has to enter Gabe Newell's stomach.

Tenner bets it.

Oh, and I doubt valve would create new missions fast enough to finish the story...

Unless you want to play HL3 for seven years.

Maybe its taking so long because its going to be huge, separate game with many hours worth of gameplay, deep storyline and awesome graphics.

 

[Metropocalypse]

Ahh no! Half-Life was the last single player experience I was hopeful for.

If Half Life 3 is multiplayer I'll cry.

I already had F.E.A.R. ruined for me, please not HL.
