I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. The fact that Valve approved this means that they have probably abandoned the idea of ever using Adrian Shephard in a game again. That's assuming they haven't abandoned the Half-Life franchise completely.

I haven't even started! In fact, I've forgotten about it until now.

I played it back when it was still a free mod. Considered purchasing it when it came to the Steam store, however I am waiting for the game to be complete (Xen to be included as well)
 
Not to derail but the new MGS 1 remake "Shadow Moses" is much more exciting for me. HL games make my head hurt.
 
I do not live in the same nostalgia as some people, and thus this news (and especially the trailer) does not get me excited in the slightest...
 
Well I like the feel of the source engine and the HL universe so if the reviews are positive for this I'll pick it up sometime :)

I wish they would do a Black Mesa type treatment for Opposing Force and Blue Shift though.

It gets one thinking that maybe the only chance of us getting a Half Life 3 is if Valve allowed someone to start up a Kickstarter campaign for it.
