Expanding the storyline with modifications

[Kedjane]

Half Life 2 doesn't have a terrible story. Trashtalking about a game that has 95.44% at Gamerankings, 96% at Metacritic (93% based on 3586 votes), 9.7 at IGN and have gotten 35 GotY awards aint particularly smart, plus the game revolutionized the way video game stories are presented and pushed forward. All games with a story today owe Half Life 2. Why you'd even insult it considering the thread topic doesn't make any sense.
As for Black Plague following anyone else would be pretty hard since they're all dead, so it would either have to be set before everyone dies or be set somewhere Philip never goes.
