At first when I saw this my initial reaction was "AHHH, ARE YOU KIDDING ME VALVE?!" But then I looked at the broader side of things. I'm sure the coop in Episode 3 will be in the vein or Portal 2, where it's tied into the single player, but not directly related to it. As long as there's no hats for EP3 coop...ah fuck its too late, I already jinxed it.
Yes, no simple Valve Single-Player anymore, but Single-Player + Co-op/Deathmatch or other crap. Like in Half-Life 1.
Isolated single player experience. The Co-op campaign in Portal 2 differs from the single-player campaign. All this is saying is that they won't have exclusive single-player campaigns. SHOCKING!
Half-Life 3/Half-Life Ep.3 SHOULD be SP only!!!! NO exceptions!!!!
As long as it's in the vein of Portal 2, where Coop has a different storyline and world, and it's not just a two player version of SP with Gordon running around with a top hat and monocle, I guess it's tolerable. Lets just hope they don't screw it up.
I hope you play as rebles in Ep3 co-op
Would be sweet.
No more Half Life.
Actually this is a pretty good thing, it means that we wont [B][I]just[/I][/B] have singleplayer. if anything we'll get more out of Valve's games for our money.
so this is Very good.
Hmm, maybe the admin is Gordon Freeman and the other player is Barney.
That would totally kick some ass.
In episode 3 you play as rebels and Freeman is an NPC.

No everyone plays as rebels and Gabe plays as Gordon.

Half-Life 2 Deathmatch was already released a long time ago, so you're a bit late with that.
By "isolated singleplayer experience" they could just mean the whole underground thing in Portal 2. You're isolated, far away from people, in an underground laboratory. Isolated.

Lets hope that's the case here...
Anyone else think it'd be neat to have EP3 as gordon as the single player, barneys journies as the co op?

I just said that!

So long as it doesn't water down the SP experience I'm okay with this
Or if i wanted Co-op I could just play OC or Syngery

Voice Commands > Orders > Remind Gordon to Reload
I hope this means that Ep3 will have co-op like the Portal 2 co-op, playing as two separate characters in their own little story but still part of the main story.
Griggs and Sheckley.
2 player coop with Adrian Shephard as the second character. I called it first.

I love single player.
dammit valve, work on your sentence composition
if you're going to make games single-player and co-op like portal 2 then say that, not 'oh yeah we're done with single-player games', that's just a damn misleading title
Now HL2 EP3 is going to be delayed even longer.
Does this mean that they won't charge money for multiplayer anymore?
