Its 15 years since HL1, not 5!

[Ankster]

I have read in many threads that some people think that the story has just progressed 5 years in time since HL1. It has actually progressed 15years as stated in every magazine and video. Many people have probably read in magazines that 5 years have passed since HL1. But its 5 years in real life, HL1 was released 1998(5 years ago). So thats why so many have been confused.
15 years for Gordon, 5 years for us.

It's almost as interesting to find out what Freeman was doing in those 15 years, as it is to find out the Half Life 2 storyline. Although that might be part of the Half Life 2 story.

 

[alehm]

Cool. I can't wait until HL3 is 15 years after HL2 that way Gordon can drive around in an awesome battery powered wheelchair taking out teh aliems. :rollies:

That makes Freeman 44 years old..

Personaly I believe they never reveal the ammount of time between games, and 15 years is simply a replicated rumor that has appeared everywhere.. I will consider it 5 years untill some solid facts appear.

i wonder how this explains 3yrs has passed since hl1 ended for freeman..according to gabe newhall

 

[worldspawn]

you're all so misinformed.. lol, i believe in a PCgamer article it stated that it WASN'T 15 years that had passed, but didn't say much more then that.

 

[dovoxove]

geeez.. stop talking about HL3. You don't even know if it'll come out

 

[EVIL]

I havent really saw anythin in the magazines that revealed the amount of time that has passed between the event's of hl1 and the events of hl2

 

[Cyber$nake]

No, keep talking about half life 3, http://www.half-life3.com is reserved all nice and early!!! :bounce:

hey u never know, maybe those warp things in half-life (like the one u step in at the end) have something to do with time passed or something, like putting u further in time or something. so MAYBE 15 years had passed but gordon remain the same age?ahhh who knows, we'll just have to see! just a thought though

Hey wasnt freeman in a jail? I was just thinking about a jail level in Video demo

 

[Bad^Hat]

Valve stated several times that they won't reveal the amount of time between games as that is an important part of the plot. Just wait and see I say

 

[Xenophus]

The period of time is 6 months, and the jail level was just designed for e3, quite a lot of it was actually made just to be shown there.

 

[EVIL]

the jail level isnt just designed for the e3.. its a part of hl2.. read the interviews!

 

[neva]

Like EVIL said its a mission in the FULL game !!! :cheese:

 

[Mamu]

They have said HL3 is going to happen...

hmm well it is 5 years since we got HL1...... but the story in HL2 takes place 15 years after HL1

 

[EVIL]

nobody said anything about 15 years.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Yeah they did... I can't remember who though.

 

[ShadowJustice]

Yeah somebody did but i dont think it's "official"
And in some article they said the time passed between hl1 and hl2 will be an important part of the plot or something........
