I'm pretty amped about this! I must say I didn't care for the ending of Half Life 2 overly much so it would be particularily satisfying to play though more of a conclusion to the matter. I looks like we might find out a little more about the crafty G-Man too.

Bummer that I gave my cousin's Half Life 2 game back to him. Maybe I can borrow it again for a bit (say, 4 months)...

I've been debating for the last day or so about whether I should get it. I'll probably wait a bit but let us know how it turns out.

I know my brothers will be probably purchasing this right when it comes out, :lol: I still haven't played half-life at all yet. I really want to, though.

Can someone explain this game? Wouldn't this be Episode 2 if Half Life 2 was already released?

Half-Life 1's release date was 1998

Half-Life 2's Release date was November 16, 2004. 3 AM Eastern Time Zone (12 Mountain Time)

Half-Life 2's ending is more or less a cliffhanger. Half-Life 2 Episode 1 picks up from there.

I'll explain the story later Tom, right now I'm playing it XD

Hooollyyy crap. I just finished it.

It's quite a cliffhangery ending. I can't WAIT till episode 2 comes out.

Tom, here you got. Read it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life
I LOVE half-life so much. It has the most intricate plot for a FPS I've ever laid my eyes upon.

"six hours," is what Valve said; the same as the SiN episodes they're releasing. I think that's if you're completely clueless though.

They said in an interview that instead of doing half-life 3 they were going to do it in an episode thingy. It sounds a little more original than half-life 3 to me.

Well, Half-Life 3 is a definate. It'll most likely appear in like... a bajillion years later though.

Actually they interview with a guy who works at valve studios says that they are doing the episode idea instead of half-life 3. So i'm thinking that after all three episodes the half-life series will be over, much to my shigrin. :sniffle:
