If I worked at Valve I'd mash Half-Life and Left4Dead together. Four players team up and choose between Gordon, Alyx, Barney and  ...  uhmm ...  Kleiner? (haha) to tackle AI directed hordes of combine and xen monsters in the North Pole. Or if you don't have friends then the other three characters can be AI controlled. It  might not allow for such detailed storytelling, but at this point we all just want to confirm that G-Man is Gordon from the future sent back to tell us that the combine aren't the real enemy, it was the floating plasma babies all along!

Well the implementation of the AI Director in HL is something they quite openly hinted when they were hyping L4D. Surely they must have tried some of that stuff as well.

Personally I wouldn't want H4L... don't really like L4D (but I admit I didn't play much) but I don't see how the carnage gameplay could fit. And I can hardly imagine a fulfilling experience in co-op with a more "boring" game.

The Director could be a great addition for bigger fight sequences and other shooting encounters, even in a singleplayer game imo. Wouldn't revolve the whole game around that though.

PS: remember that in Raising The Bar they were already saying they were trying to find the most meaningful addition to the gameplay, and stuff like substantial dialogue trees (see: Mass Effect?) were considered.
