yeah valve loves us so much they won't put out half life ep3 and or half life 3 instead we get more zombies and a 5 hour long squeal to portal....i list that under they just don't care

love half life, hate being in a huge cliff hanger for years to come

@you below
lol such a hypocrite, i know devs can take as long as they want unlike everyone who complains about FFv13, however there has been no formal announcement it has been 6 years since HL2 came and not a word on HL3

yeah L4D was fun for a little bit and portal was fun though painfully easy my 4 year old niece figured out some of the "hardest" puzzles and the only games she is use to playing is wii and kinect games

so yes neglecting the fans is correct, where were they at e3 oh right no where cause they don't wanna talk about what fans what....where is counter strike source 2???

That's just Valve for you, hence the fabled "Valve time" http://developer.valvesoftw... . Ep3 and HL3 will release eventually, and when they do, you know they're going to be fantastic. It's just the way they are. Do you want a rushed HL? I dont.

Long development times doesnt mean your neglecting your fans, more making sure the games live up to your fans expectations. I'm a massive HL fan and like many I've been annoyed by the lack of news regarding the franchise, but I dont feel hard done by. I'll play something else, plenty more games in the sea.

Edit: Hypocrite? I never complained about Vs for a start, seems your whining because they made some games you dont like. Valve are about more than one IP, dont like it, tough. I've enjoyed them, so I dont feel neglected. They're not here to pine to you and only you.

Oh and CS2 will not release until there is a new Valve engine. I'm surprised you dont know that's how it works. HL = CS 1.6, HL2 = CS:S, HL3 = CS'2'. Complicated eh.

Still waiting for Black Mesa Source to finally play through Half Life again....

again i say if there the best where is half life 3 and or episode 3......or at least an announcement not lets beat around the bush and not say a word about it

@Cpt_kitten
So you are saying that Valve would be the best if they announce Episode 3 or Half Life 3? Really?
I can't wait for e3 or HL3. But I rather wait then have them churn out a new Half Life every year.

Valve; You take all the sweet ass time you want, before presenting to us Episode 3 or HL3. When the time is right, i'm sure it will be amazing.

LOL, i just went on steam & was reding system requirements. Ive been a lifer long console guy so never really even think of pc gaming. Maybe Half Life will be the game that makes me start to look

well there a ton of classic games on pc man, even some old ones like the original deus ex is such a great game n they are old so you don't need a very powerful pc to run them

Half-life is Amazing, it is just not contemporary. However, Half Life(2) is what todays games aspire to be. Having Taut gameplay, with an excellent narrative, and great game mechanics; concordantly, Half Life set a standard, and a very high bar that many developers still have not reached.
