If you call this scene a "Retcon" then you are very transparently a dumbass who has no grasp of Half-Life's lore.
Eli's death means the death of the resistance; Kleiner even warns that if the Combine get a hold of Eli, they will pluck "everything [he] knows about the resistance". There is no coming back after the end of Episode 2, the Combine now know everything about the rebels and will proceed to crush them. That is why the ending to EP2 is so dramatic and sad: it symbolizes the death of all humanity.
With Alyx captured and Eli living, however, the resistance lives on.
I believe Valve always intended to revert EP2's ending, change my mind.

the only "time travel" was done by the gman. it wasn't time travel at all, unless you're a brainlet. the chronological order of the games IS THE RELEASE ORDER. NO TIME TRAVEL INVOLVED.
