    I've been excited to do a trailer for these guys again especially considering how far they've come. It was refreshing going back to where i started and using the old trailer methods again.

      It makes you wonder if Half Life 3 may actually exist. I think this Xen release is going to fill in a few gaps that were left unanswered throughout the Half Life series, such that it creates a bridge of information to link with the next Half Life (if you were to keep your hopes up)
