This makes sense only that they'd be too scared to release anything other than HL:A. I don't believe for a second that Valve were expecting anything different, they knew the results of putting Half-Life in the title of a game.
I mean, they had a right to be. They were releasing the only Half Life game in years as a VR only exclusive and behind a medium sized paywall. The reason they developed the trailer was to sell it to a non-vr audience, which worked. They had rightful reason to be scared after Artifact and how cocky they were with it.

I think that's a bit of a stretch to say they had reason to be scared, Artifact had a bad reception from the start whereas fans have been crying out for a Half-Life game for a decade. They played their best card by using Half-Life, they knew this.

I must inform you, Half-Life: Blue Shift already exists.
I know, but this is valve, they can make a sequel to that since it'll only be two games with Barney as the MC.

if they're re-using hl:a assets...

Half Life: Laszlo


nah but seriously either barney or some random resistance guy/girl would be what i expect

barney would give so much lore and info on how civil protection/the combine works from the inside though so personally hoping for that

Question is, would an HL2 game focused around Barney be Half-Life 2: Blue Shift or Half-Life 2: Opposing Force

After all, civil protection IS the opposing force in that era...
[doublepost=1574941148][/doublepost]Or is Half-Life 2: Opposing Force a game about Adrian Shephard being transhumanized into Overwatch.........

Had the same issue, spent a few days dealing with parcelforce. I was lucky that I could buy it with steam wallet funds by selling some old TF2 and CSGO items that appreciated in value.
