Ya the g-man scene in episode 2 was epic. The first encounter in episode 2 with an advisor was pretty sweet too. In half-life 2, id have to say near the end when you have to take out 3-4 striders while being shot by soldiers from all directions. Felt like I was gordon freeman
I was expecting this. Whats even more sad is that portal 2 isn't being released til 2011. That means half-life 3 could be 2012!?!
If anyone thinks it is still an episode your are nuts. They are not going to take 5 years to make a 5 hour game. May as well make a half-life 3 section now.
What a lame surprise. Valve should take a page out of Blizzards notes.

Has it worked before? It may be the video card. I don't know if it can run on an Intel graphics media accelerator. I may be wrong, but I think that it is running the video off the processor itself.
There's a point in every mans life when he has to put his games on the shelf. Graduating college, getting married. There's not a lot of room for games in older players.
But your right, I will probably still get it ;). But there is alot higher chance I wont along with other players as well.
I agree with rjthrog.
This is very frustrating. It is an embarrassment for the half-life franchise that two games from the same franchise have been released since episode 2. It is even more embarrassing that portal 2 is being released before episode 2.
Portal 2 was a good game and all...
Prepare for massive flaming on these forums next week lol. I don't get it though. Valve cancels the portal 2 even for a different portal 2 event? Freeking stupid, they probably did it just to mess with everyone.
Is it confirmed that Valve will be using an updated source engine for portal 2...
After playing through the half-life 2 series I realized I am very sick and tired of co-op with Alyx. She is constantly telling me what to do while she just sits there and does nothing.
Eli:Dont go to ravenholm.
Alyx:Gordon go through ravenholm, dog find another way around.
Me:Why can't I just...
Are we really that desperate?
Don't forget how Valve initially gave out the news of a portal 2 coming out. You had to take the audio from a game and convert it, connect to some crazy address... A comic book image doesn't look that crazy compared to what Valve has done before.
Plus since when...
episode 2 was pretty much non-stop action. From alyx getting pwned and almost getting killed by an advisor TWICE. And don't let me even get started about the gman scene as the best one ever. I can still here "Prepare... for unforeseen consequences".
It is quite strange that Gabe just didn't state its not a Half-Life game. According to previous post on these forums, the valve developers laugh at this stuff.
It is a long shot, but now everyone is screaming for half-life 3! Episode 3 is dead, so of course it wont be episode 3. I still...
I don't think it is going to be half-life 3 or episode 3, however this image was posted on valves blog a couple months ago when asked questions about Team Fortress 2 on mac.

The comic book also exclusively underlines the words free and demand, which could be...
G-man is neither human nor combine. You think the humans and vortigaunts are the only ones fighting the combine? The G-Man is a bureaucrat of one of these other races that have portal technology.
Notice in episode 2 he states that he "must abide by certain restrictions." Restrictions...
Half-life is monster. It is "their" franchise. The next half-life game has a lot to live up to if it is to end the saga. Putting everything into a small 5-6 hour game is EXTREMELY difficult considering the plot of half-life.
Maybe there is a reason portal 2 is being released before the...
