Yeah, but the thing about the Half-Life series is that the player has never lost continuity with a conscious Gordon Freeman. So, we'd have to sit through a 3000 mile chopper ride from eastern Europe to the Arctic circle. Longer if they have to stop for gas.
Maybe Gordon takes a nap during the trip, but they can't just start the game with Gordon waking up from a nap. They have to pick up exactly where they left off and have the player maneuver him to his nap. Shouldn't be hard. The guy hasn't slept since HL2 started.
Hey, it was Valve's decision to make everything contiguous. I don't think it really makes the game better, but it's their thing. They can't abandon it now.
All I know is that Gordon has a steel bladder. And I'm starting to suspect that he's anorexic. Eat something, fella!
