At this point in time I've pretty much given up on waiting for it. I love Valve and all, but taking this long for an expansion? They'd be better off just working on Half-Life 3.

They are working on it of course. We didn't need any proof. They aren't just going to stop after leaving it so open.

However they said they are going to move the Portal story line with the Half-Life story line. So we'll see Portal 2 first. Which is alright by me.

Well, we've found out from reliable sources its finished and Valve is just currently holding out on us. Our latest attempt to retrieve it has failed and we lost our agent.

He was a good man :?

Would have been great if they did another compilation game. Except Portal 2 and Episode III this time. Oh well.

At this point Valve should just make it into Half-life 3. There's no way it should've taken this long. It pisses me off that they managed to release 2 Left 4 Dead games and haven't even finished Ep3.

I was never in doubt that they're still working on Episode Three.

Did everyone think they'd just given up on Half-Life?

For a while, I thought they were going to scrap EP3, and just go ahead and make HL3.

This coming November will mark three years since Valve released Episode Two. And personally, I haven't even finished Episode Two yet.

Valve's development cycles are long (anyone remember how long it took for Half-Life 2 to come out?) and hence, we must learn to be patient.

Though I do want Valve to release Episode Three before I graduate from the university.

Episode 2 is like 6 hours long. You should finish it.

There isn't going to be a Half-Life 3. Half-Life 2 Episode 3 is going to be the last game of the Half-Life franchise.

Oh, the naivety of some people... Don't believe everything a developer tells you. They tend to lie a lot. That's what they said about Metal Gear Solid and Halo, but look at what happened there. Valve would just be shooting themselves in the foot, if they decided to not make more Half-Life games. After all, it's an excellent source of revenue for the company.

Well, I'm guessing that it's taking them this long because maybe the game itself is longer than HL2, Ep1 and Ep2 combined and since it's the final part of Half Life 2 (Well they said it wouldn't be the end of Half Life though), they've got to be working on some climatic ending of some sorts.

And if you guys saw the Portal 2 gameplay trailers, they seem to be running on an update source engine now because you notice that there is real-time shadow casting going on now and not pre-rendered ones, so maybe it goes for the same as Episode 3.
