Do you think it would be possible to bring back adrian shephard?

I'm pretty sure gearbox has a stake in all of that deal, and you don't want them anywhere near Half-Life.

Maybe that way Valve would be able to live up the Half Life 3 expectations.
But deep down you know HL3 is never going to come out.

>opposing force definitely still happened
Black Mesa was destroyed at the end of half life 1 as well. Opposing force was confirmed non-canon by valve. It doesn't matter any way though, since valve doesn't make games anymore.

Gabe is too busy replying to redditor emails for good PR. He doesn't give two shits about making/funding games anymore; steam itself brings in more than enough money with zero risk.

The expansion games are considered canon unless contradicted by any of the main games.

What if they got the rights to Half-Life 3/Episode 3

>Well hey heeeeeeeeeeeey Gordon, it's me again, your old friend Barney. And I'm not talking the purple dinosaur, neitha if you know what I mean. Nothing? Not a peep? Straight to buss-in-ness, huh? Well alright, looky hear. We got a problem, and I mean HUUUUGE problem with the Combine coming down on us HARD. So I was thinking. Maybe you should -combine- their skulls with some high velocity, high VIOLENCE munitions. What do you think about that? No? Still nothing? Well I'll just leave you to it then. And remember, it's not Black Me-sa. It's Black, uh, Us-sa.

Only part of opposing force I would say is non canon is the race x that appeared that never gets brought up again in the series. Other than that, nothing else is contradicted by other canon in the series.

Go away, Randy.

EYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, WELCOME TO CITY 17. THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S CITY SE-VEN-TEEN, NOT ONE, OR TWO, OR THREE, OR EVEN 69! ANYWAY, YOU'VE CHOSEN OR BEEN CHOSEN OR MAYBE EVEN NEITHER TO RELOCATE TO THIS EPIC CITY BROS. IT'S SO EPIC AND STUFF, THAT LIKE, I CHOSE TO BUILD THIS HUGE TOWER WHERE I RULE OVER SHIT IN IT.

>The owner of the IP says it's not canon
>But it's still canon

That's not how it works. Also I wouldn't want fucking gearbox touching anything about OpFor or modern Half-life in any way, shape or form.

You could expect tranny half black Adrianna Shepherd as a protagonist being followed around be a le so random xD robot with a retarded name listing off memes they found on a reddit humor page for the entirety of the game.

But you were sleepin' on the job, son. But look at you now, right man, right place. Looks like things are about to get a whole lot differenter, my man.

Who said it's not canon? Valve writer Marc Laidlaw has said valve doesn't get involve with canon and valve has said that the expansions are to be considered canon unless overruled by the main games.

>GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNIN' BADASSES, AND WELCOME TO THE BLACK MESA TRANSPORT SYSTEM! YOU WANTED A WHITE MESA? TOO BAD, GET OUT YOU FUCKING RACIST! WE'RE HERE TO DO SCIENCE, NOT BUILD WALLS!
