WALKTHROUGH HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE 3 THE CLOSURE MAP 15 UPDATE

UPDATE August 7, 2009: Valve co-founder Gabe Newell and other Valve writers have been researching sign language, for use in Half-Life 2: Episode 3, through a deaf people focus group. What should have been like, pretty demoralizing and stressful was for them, вЂњOh, this is no big deal.вЂќ So, yeah, people get the idea.вЂќ And I think it shows on the other side, right? I mean, they were just giggling so hard when they were changing the buttons in the movies to say вЂњleak video.вЂќ Do you remember the big screen with all the buttons? And they were like we have to put вЂњleaks videoвЂќ into that thing before we release it. ItвЂ™s like watching the reaction of that community, watching their ability to respond, looking at the quality of the work theyвЂ™re getting with the length of those development cycles. вЂњJust so you know, the thing to me, that feels right, is the rhythm that Robin and his team are operating with. But, weвЂ™re happy with that choice that we made.вЂќДЄfter Gabe was asked if weвЂ™ll hear any further details (or video) about Episode 3 by the end of 2009, he continued talking without giving an answer: The speed with which these updates are coming out, people say, вЂњHey, gee, these episodes are supposed to be shorter and you take 25 years to ship each one.вЂќ So, I donвЂ™t wanna somehow dismiss those, or sort of throw them under вЂ“ but I think weвЂ™re in much better shape than would have been, in terms of our ability to move stuff, technology, products, uh, forward faster by changing how, ya know, being different than, ya know, there was Half-Life 2 and then there was post-Half-Life 2 in terms of how we were approaching these things and yea, I think that weвЂ™re overall pretty happy without somehow dismissing the legitimate complaints that people should have towards us.

So, I think thereвЂ™s frustration there and IвЂ™m not somehow going to say that thatвЂ™s not legitimate or length isnвЂ™t a concern or regularity. вЂњI get a ton of email everyday saying why arenвЂ™t you talking about Episode 3? And there are very good reasons why weвЂ™re not talking about Episode 3, which I canвЂ™t talk about yet, but I will.

UPDATE June 10, 2009: Valve co-founder Gabe Newell was asked on the G4 TV channel why we havenвЂ™t heard anything about Episode 3 at E3 2009? To quote GabeвЂ™s answer: UPDATE October 14, 2008: Valve marketing director Doug Lombardi has said in an interview with Kikizo that they вЂњmay at the very end of the year.вЂќ Although he cryptically added it may take a while longer for it to come out, by saying that вЂњThe next time you play as Gordon will be longer than the distance between HL2 to Ep1, and Ep1 to Ep2.вЂќ The Borealis contained ApertureвЂ™s version of the teleportation technology (different from Black MesaвЂ™s) but the ship was never commissioned and disappeared with all hands and parts of the dry dock from the shipyard, until appearing in the ice locked northern seas at the end of Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Perhaps this is the same environment where the 2007 concept art of the Aperture Laboratories ice breaker / research ship, the Borealis, takes place. This concept art shows Half-Life protagonist Gordon Freeman within a large Citadel-like environment as an evil Combine Advisor hovers over his head.ДЄRTISTS: Ted Backman, Jeremy Bennett, Tristan Reidford
