Amazing Facts About The Half Life Series You Probably Don’t Know

Epistle 3

So when Marc Laidlaw left Valve in August 2017, he went out in an unorthodox fashion. He wrote a summary for the plot of Half Life 2: Episode 3 (or even Half Life 3, it’s hard to say at this point) which was called Epistle 3. It featured “Gertie Fremont”, the “Hyperborea” ship and the “Disparate” enemy faction but it was obvious that Laidlaw had swapped out the actual names of characters and settings like Gordon Freeman, Borealis and the Combine in order to reveal what could have been. If you ever needed an indication that Half Life 3 or Episode 3 would never happen, this is it.
