"Valve Time" Chart [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time]
My theory is that they are working on a major update or replacement to the source engine, and then releasing Ep 3 as the flagship for it.
I'm surprised nobody else has said this - to me, it seems glaringly obvious. Episode 2 made mention of Aperture Science, and then OMG - Portal was included with the Orange Box! In Portal, we got a vague introduction to the inner workings of Aperture Science, and Portal 2 is going to expand on that, providing a perfect segueway for what will undoubtedly be (at least, I really really hope so) THE most epic finale of a game series ever.Samsont said:
Seriously, think of the pressure Valve is under to deliver with Episode 3, when Half-Life 1 and 2 are consistently rated amongst the "best games of all time". You can't just end that saga in a haphazard way - it has to be perfect, and if anyone can deliver perfection, it's Valve.
There is no voice actor for Gordon. For what I heard (not sure how reliable my source really is) it was the actor for a main villain that died.Snarky Username said:
Never! that's the excuse, they want you to expect they'll release it so that meanwhile you buy every single other game or gamemode made by Valve... that's a very nice strategy...
Or maybe Episode 3 is going to be made by children currently being raised by wolves!englishjesus said:
sorry, i've only ever played Half-life 1... i've watched my brother play the second one though... or well, 2/3rds of the second one (awkward laugh). it doesn't mean much to me anymore, i'll probably only play halflife 2 when all episodes are out and will live in current generation gaming hell until then.
I agree with the people saying to wait patiently, however we should keep in mind that disasters like Too Human took a long time too.
There's no voice actor for Gordon Freeman? Then how did he make those inspirational speeches that inspired the hearts of millions?Cain_Zeros said:
Also, it was the voice actor for Dr. Breen who died earlier this year, but Dr. Breen died at the end of HL2 (Well, I'm pretty sure he did, they never showed his death, but the giant explosion kind of hinted it for me...)
wait wait wait... i've read every post on this thread, and i think the majority of people are misreading the purpose of this thread.
be inventive, post a potentially humorous and outrageous story, is what this post tells me to do. though everytime i read the post now, that suggestion seems more and more hidden. perhaps a bit vague but still there.
what the majority of people are doing seems to be "oh my gosh, not another hate on valve thread... sigh, lets just tell this guy to be patient". in my opinion, he is being patient, and to help pass the time, he's come up with this fun game, where we can talk about wolves raising children or pyro performing a spy-check, burning all the work they'd done on episode 3.
i hope i've not mis-interpreted the authors intentions, but even if i have, i believe we should still just post funny stories
this post, to me, sounds like a lot like fun.lord death jr said:

The talk about a host body at the end of HL2, and the replay of that conversation during the Advisor pod's first appearance hinted to me that he was to return. Drafts of HL2 had him being transferred into an alien body at the end of the game.Snarky Username said:
But out of respect for Robert Culp, they might not be pursuing that anymore.
