The Story
The Half Life series is all connected and began as a result of a scientific experiment conducted by Gordon Freeman at a facility called the Black Mesa Research facility to analyze a crystalline artifact. The experiment, however, does not progress as planned and opens up a rift between the Black Mesa facility and some other world, causing monsters and aliens to storm the facility and the Earth, thereby threatening complete eradication of the population. A team is sent to silence the Black Mesa facility and rescue survivors. Meanwhile, Freeman and a group of scientists decide to travel to the other world, Xen, and destroy the source of the alien monsters.
The game has been released and the story has been continued in four parts, Half Life 1 and 2 which were full versions, while Half Life 2 – Episode One and Two were shorter versions. The game has won more than fifty ‘Game of the Year’ awards and is one of the best first person shooter action games in the current gaming world. It has served as an inspiration for many games and game makers and hence, the upcoming version Half Life 3 has set quite high standards for itself.
Rumors Regarding the Game
There were rumors that Valve, the parent company of the game, was interested in making more of multi player games rather than concentrating on the final installment of the Half Life series. The change in the company’s plan has been attributed to the huge success that multi player games are enjoying in today’s markets. However, putting an end to all speculation, the company has finally announced that the upgrade of Half life is underway and more details would be out soon. The rumors are settled with that for now.
Open World Environment
Another rumor is that the new game Half Life 3 could be based in the open world environment unlike its other installments. The final result is yet to be seen.
