So maybe I didn't get to see any of those "wow" moments.  |
I actually thought the sawmill blowing up was something that was supposed to happen and could not be stopped... it looked so crazy I thought "well that must be something I was absolutely supposed to see and cannot prevent" and never knew I could stop it until I read that post a couple days ago

They are making Half Life 2: Episode Three right now. I've never heard anything about a Half Life 3. My friend told me that Half Life 2: Episodes 1, 2, and 3 would pretty much BE "Half Life 3." I doubt they've started work on a Half Life 3 yet, but if you have any sources for this information, post the links. I'd be interested in it.

They said that Episode 3 will be the end of the current story arc. Hoepfully that means the story arc that began in HL1, and we would get some closure about the G-Man and all that (and I'm really hoping for a happy ending when all is said and done - but I somehow doubt that is going to happen). They also won't deny HL3 is happening, but I've got the feeling that HL3 will be broken up into episodes from the get-go as it seems that (this is my own conclusion based on their interviews) Valve is thoroughly commited to the new episodic model of releasing a game and are going to fine tune the process even further in the future. Which, hopefully, will mean they stick to the original time table they came up with. Remember when they said the episodes would be only about 6 months apart? HA
