ThereвЂ™s obviously no way to know if Reiner spoke to Laidlaw in his interview or if Laidlaw leaked the script/outline coincidentally, but it seems weird to read that sentence and see the leak come several months later. вЂњI may be in the minority here, but I would rather read a script for Half-Life 2: Episode 3 to learn what happened than play a game that misses the mark.вЂќ I think the interview is helpful for understanding why there probably wont be an episode 3.В However, there is a comment made by Reiner at the conclusion of the interview that I find interesting in the wake of the leak: Much of the interview gives insight into how Valve goes about working on projects, with a seemingly organic form of task prioritization. The script ends with Laidlaw giving a type of call to action to the community to complete the game themselves.Д«ack in January Game InformerвЂ™s Andrew Reiner secured an interviewВ with a Valve employee that asked to remain anonymous. The strange thing about this outline is that it seems Laidlaw addresses the player, or perhaps the entire Half-life fan community, apologizing for the time that has passed since we have heard from them on about the game. The script details our protagonistвЂ™s sci-fi-surreal search for the Borealis, the ship developed by Aperture that the player hears about near the end of the last installment. It didnвЂ™t take long for someone to go through the script and change all the names to their appropriate canon counterparts. Originally the script was passed off as a type of fanfic, with names of notable characters changed yet often retaining their initials, such asВ Gertie Fremont instead of Gordon Freeman. IвЂ™ve been trying to think about the recent news regarding the leaked Half-life scriptВ from Marc Laidlaw that popped up in the past week.
