I think it's pretty obvious they're not going to make a game called Half Life 2: Episode 3. They're going to code a new engine, bring out Half Life 3, continue the story and blow our minds in doing so. It's the Valve way.

I think the perfect compromise would be to make Half-Life 3 the end of it all. No episodes, 20-30 hours long and then-industry-leading graphics. Bang!

bahaha whats the deal with laslo. classic.

I've been thinking about this for a while now and there is certainly an argument both ways. On the one hand, if you end it all at Episode 3, Half-Life will become Legend for all-time. On the other, if Valve continues the saga, we get to play more Half-Life! I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing...

^^agreed on all counts.

It seems like an awful lot to be "wrapping up" in just one episode. Will make for one HELL of a game though if true!

I just hope there is some closure. We've been waiting long enough i think.

Which story arc? Just the whole combine invasion thing?

That's a good point. Gordon was only "hired" for that one task, then the Vorts' stepped in. Makes more sense now :D

Yeah seems like the most reasonable explanation.

He was. At least, according to the SSG he was. "GMan tosses his pawn back into stasis. He abandons Alyx, left to be incinerated by the Combine portal explosion." -http://members.shaw.ca/halflifestory/timeline.htm

That's my point though. Why was he going to let her die in HL2 if she is so important to him? One of his "investments".

Quick question. Sorry if this has been covered. If Gman left Alyx to die in the explosion at the end of HL2, why is he so interested in her now? What have i missed?

I hope we return to Xen, and its possible, but i doubt it. I think i'm one of only a few who wants that though.

Phew, ok, so gabe has said that Half Life will continue beyond Episode 3. That's good because i was thinking "how are they going to wrap this whole thing up in one episode. Still so many questions unanswered!"
