Valve, in a typical teasing of Half-Life 2 fans, has hinted that it may be readying to show off Episode 3 by the end of the year.

Great

Something for long evenings to play, hope it won't be short tho...

Best go finnish ep2, shouldn't have started tf2 until after i'd completed the last episode... can't wait. At least that'll be one game i've bought.

i was fortunate enough that ep2 dl'd quicker and updated quicker TF2, otherwise i'd be in the same boat.

Roll on Chrimbo.

Best grab HL2:EP2 and TF2 and Portal before this comes around then. Oh how I wish they'd release the Black Box.

badders · 15th Oct 2008, 11:52

I smell another Source engine update maybe?
Moar multithreading?

HL2:EP2 was great you guys are missing out.
I would recommend playing it. Don’t want to give anything away but it’s worth playing till the end…

rhuitron · 15th Oct 2008, 11:55

Next thing we know, they are going to have another "Ending Leak" just like this one.

Agreed. Episode 2 is a great blend of puzzle/shooter/story. Go play now.

/\ Joe you mean. I can't wait for this, episode 2 was thrilling. Do we know if this is the final part of half life though or will they make half life 3?

Lepermessiah · 15th Oct 2008, 13:04

I hate these episodes, don't get me wrong, Valve makes good games, but you seem to have to wait an awful long tiome for 3-4 hours of gameplay, i would rather wait a long time for HL3, seems the episodes lack the pull of a full fledged game, by the time you really get into it it is over.

Whalemeister · 15th Oct 2008, 13:08

Can't wait, although EP1 was a big let down, EP2 was great. Just hope they keep the high standards of EP2 up for the next installment

Whalemeister · 15th Oct 2008, 13:09

Sorry to double post but I forgot all about left 4 dead, that's really high up on my wish list at the mo...

Blademrk · 15th Oct 2008, 13:23

Still haven't played Episode 1 or 2 yet (got them on the 360).

naokaji · 15th Oct 2008, 13:42

I can't wait until Episode 3 finally comes out, I just hope it's as cheesecake as EP2.

pizan · 15th Oct 2008, 14:14

I hope they tie in portal to somehow in Ep 3...mmm portal grav gun

kenco_uk · 15th Oct 2008, 14:21

Should ep3 be set on a ship?

TheoGeo · 15th Oct 2008, 14:38

Well considering that i never actually got ep2 to work on my pc, I'll probably not bother investing in ep3
