So where the hell is HL:2 Ep. 3???

[skace]

When you consider Episode 1, Episode 2, CS:S, TF2, Portal, L4D, and all the other projects Valve took part in, I believe it's been a success. We also don't know whether they've had a separate team working on HL3 all this time. Their engine programmers probably don't have as much to do since releasing HL2, so they could have been at work on an HL3 engine all this time.

Oh and dguy is pretty stupid.

Well awhile back when they where talking to Gabe about Left 4 Dead, he said that there will be a little something announced after the Official release of L4D( i heard there is going to be some sort of a trailer). And as some1 already stated they could have been working on it all this time and it could be done in a few months(remember E3 when they announced that HL-2 was coming out the next month after they first announced it, but then got stolen which cause it to get delayed)

I love Valve, and I'm glad there's a think tank out there to do these experiments, but their "smaller games more often" approach totally fizzled. By the time we get Ep 3, the three episodes will add up to roughly a full length title, and it will ship by... Late 2009? Early 2010? 5 or 6 years after Half-Life 2 shipped? In other words, another 5 to 6 year development cycle.

Valve makes great games, but it seems that, like all things, greatness cannot be rushed. I'd rather wait 5 or 6 years between full length half-life titles (and the fanfare and month of rejoicing that surrounds each one's launch) than deal with these bite-size episodes.

Yeah, frankly I would have found a whole new game with a whole new engine full of new and interesting features a heck of a lot more exciting than the same engine and same basic game with a few more levels
