Half Life 2: Episode 2 was a game released in 2007 to follow up on the events from Episode 1 and Half Life2. The game was intense as all hell and a shit ton of fun to play and got fans more invested in the Half Life 2 plot and universe with all sorts of crazy shit going on. But the game ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, and we have barely heard anything about an Episode 3. It's been so long that people are thinking that Episode 3 won't even be a thing and instead we'll just get a Half Life 3 instead.
Now I've not really been following all the news too closely but after giving a quick skim of the Half Life wiki on news regarding the next game, there has been nothing super concrete and everything seems like a bit of a mystery.
What I'm worried about is that Half Life 3 will go the same way of Daikatana, Duke Nukem Forever or Too Human. These games had huge development times and large amounts of hype, and then when they released they sucked ASS. I trust Valve to not make a game that's shitty quality wise, but can they really deliver on the 6 years of hype that's been flying around since Episode 2? Given the amount of time it's been, I don't think they will be able to do it, but I'm crossing my fingers and really hoping that they prove me very, very wrong.
