I just finished episode 2 for the second time. The game is about a year old now. Are there any plans to release the third any time in the near future?

QFT. Why do I have to play a game that looks as horrible as HL2(by today's standards) next to all these other games coming out. Valve needs a new game engine so badly.

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.

i loved the idea, and love valve
but i really agree with your post there....
having HL2 "continued" or HL3 drop in 2009/2010 as a game just as long(gameplay) as HL2 would have been way more epic

I just STARTED playing Ep2 this weekend. Was trying to go thru Ep1, then start Ep2 but I gave up and decided to just play Ep2 and be done with it. Looks like two days will be all I will get to play it, as I just picked up Fallout 3 today, so once again Half Life takes a back seat to a newer game.
