I say at next years E3 they will with a fall release.... unless they cancelled it and are making it into a full game. Then Going by valve time it would be in roughly 5 years from now.:P

Also Who do you think the GMan is?

They've already announced Episode 3. They announced it in 2006.

They really need a newer soruce engine with better tech, they have yet to properly implemet the stuff we say in the 2006/7 tech demos of Source 2.0. I suspect it's going to hit post Q3 next year.

As of right now, all we know is that Valve says it is a "more ambitious project."

Hopefully they scrapped it and are just putting all their efforts into HL3.

i think you're confused. They've already announced it. They did so before the release of Episode 1.

With all this time, I'm expecting a lengthy title (at least 8 hours) with everything being explained, I don't want another cliff hanger and having to wait like 10 years for HL3 to have GMAN explained or something. I love the HL series, my favorite FPS series by far, but they definitely need to do something different and epic for the finale (though end of eps 2 was quite awesome).

They'll probably just forget the episode stuff and just make HL3.

I don't know about that, they were saying HL3 would be something all new, and episode 3 should finish Gordon's story, it would be nice to have a full length title as a finale though, since I doubt everything could be explained in the typical 4 hour long episodes.

Yeah that would be great for a full game episode 3 and as long as it's taking it just might be true.

In Ep 3 I want something crazy to happen to Gordon where he becomes G-Man and I want to be someone new in Half-Life 3

They should be almost done with it, they dont have much going on right now anyways, L4D2 is just few things here and there but its still the same engine so it cuts the development time, TF2 is handling itself all we need are class updates. And there is no word on a brand new Counterstrike anytime soon.

I think there far into the game, but there stuck giving it the right ending for the eipsode, or there having problems connecting the story etc etc. so they wont say anything about it until its good and ready.

I would expect 2010. No later. No sooner.

They've had a team working on it since 2006. When Episode 1 finished, that team began working on Episode 3. And when Episode 2 was released, Valve had multiple teams working together on Episode 3.

I'm starting to think that never is the answer. They'd probably rather release L4D expansions and sequels.

I just remembered, G-Man is just the characters player given name. Valve does not have a name for him.

It wasn't player-given to my recollection. >.> 'G(overnment)-Man' was the name given to him by one of the army soldiers, presumably Adrian Shepard, in a journal entry that described the G-Man in the Opposing Force manual...Yes I read manuals.

It's merely coincidental that 'Gordon' starts with a 'G' and 'Freeman' ends with 'man'.

It's also mere coincidence that Gordon and the G-Man are male, have the same eye color (in fact, the only two with the same eye color in the Half-Life universe to my recollection), appear out of nowhere, and have major speech issues.
