That will most likely not happen since Valve does everything to avoid you seeing Gordon. They don’t include him in any movie you don’t see him in the mirrors etc. But just 2 rebels that meets Barney or someone else could be.
Nonono. When you are playing as them they don’t see Gordon. But when you are playin’ as the Freeman you see them. Or as you said they meet a side-character. Or you may not see them at all. Maybe it won’t be Co-op but it will be multiplayer, who knows.
Playing as a combine soldier would be pretty badass, too if they can pull it tbh.
Am I the only one who doesn’t give a crap, so long as we get to see some more HL before the end of the decade?[COLOR=‘Black’]…and yeah, that includes Black Mesa
OP answered it himself.
Gordon aren’t isolated in the game.
Yeah, anyone else would work but It has to be someone who will be with Gordon constantly. An example: Alyx in previous games would be somewhere else right before you took an ass whippin. That was the story line. So, in co-op you’d have to remain together throughout the whole game to share the arena ………. as in L4D.
I hate co-op and I find playing with other people extremely annoying as they don’t have the same pace as me. I like to take my time to explore things, reload, replay scenes over and over to see if I can do it without taking damage, etc… I don’t really care for co-operating with anyone. If HL3 is co-op only, I will be extremely disappointed for sure.
I’m sure that’s bullshit though. Portal being the last single-player game could also mean that Valve won’t make any more HL games and that the series is now closed. It could also mean that there will be a single game that you can play co-op or single player, with no isolated levels. It could mean anything, but I really don’t think people enjoy co-op as much as single player. You can’t always find someone to play with, and you often want to play alone. Single player games won’t ever go out of fashion, and they have always dominated the wide variety of games.
Take the iPad as an example. Although I’m not a fan of touch-screen gaming, I have never really seen an iPad/iOS game that was mainly co-op. Most good games are single player, and many are multiplayer but that’s not the same as co-op. Multiplayer is me against the world. Co-op is me and my friend against the world.
HL3 will either be single player or it won’t ever exist.
I hope so.
I think it would be cool to have a coop mode, yet it should be one that did not collide with the original storyline (like portal 2). I can already Imagine playing with a rebel and a vortigaunt or as two combine soldiers/CPs before Freeman’s arrival to city17.
But, singleplayer only experience is enough for me, as for coops I already have synergy.
Sounds like you don’t have friends.
Half-Life is such a signature singleplayer experience anyway. I don’t think there’s any way this can possibly be true; it’d be as though the folks at Apple got together and said, “Now here we have the iPhone, the defining handheld device of its era. Know what we should make? An iPhone that you can only operate with your scrotum!”
Jesus shit.
Half-Life 2: Episode 3 will not be an isolated singleplayer.
This means that VALVe might implement a Co-Op to go with it, as previously suggested, or maybe a new multi-player experiance.
Just because they’re not going to be releasing games that follow a ‘one campaign and done’ stye, doesn’t mean they’re going to stop making single player campaigns forever.
Is it clear now?

Not HL3
Newell has said that his statement was blown out of proportion and that they will still have single player games. But, as Xalener pointed out, sounds like a case of the forever alones to me.
No!!! Isolated means the character/plot, not the gameplay mode(s)! The original news headline was “Portal 2 Valve’s last isolated single-player”. By your definition, Portal 2 doesn’t qualify because it did have co-op with it.
This. For gabe’s sake, people, UNDERSTAND what you read.
Is this about martian mooncheese-flavors?
just do what I do, use two controllers.
HL3*
What the hell is point of episodic release in first place?
To disguise valve’s inability to count to 3.
