im really looking forward too seeing the combine army demolish everything. city on fire, some nice forest battles. I just love high tech war in the forests, so much cover. but then you have those fast micro-striders, those would make that interesting very fast

This may sound cynical but its very possible the 6 month wait is to both allow episode 1 to propagate through the market and provide further testing to episode 2, its more than likely mostly finished already. Although its not like they have a publisher that controls their deadlines so they may be able to develop in an abnormal way.

Possible indeed. It's like with music artist, the label controls the release dates and not the artist.

If what they say is true, these Episodes are the only sequel we'll get.

If that's the case, I think it's dissapointing. Maybe Valve can't bear the thought of having to spend another four years making new models and 2048x2048 textures.

Projects increased logarithmically with how much we tried to do, so if you tried to put twice as much content or technology into a box it ends up taking you four times the amount of work, right, and so we're trying to figure out a better solution."Someeeeebody fucking sucks at maths. Seriously.

Well, in that case after HLEpisodes they'll start work on something else. I doubt they'll be done for good after all three are released.

The video doesn't work for meIf you have E1 installed, check Valve/Steam/SteamApps/<yourname>/half-life 2 episode one/episodic/media. The teaser is located in that directory.
If what they say is true, these Episodes are the only sequel we'll get.You shouldn't be dissapointed. I mean, sure the sequel is based on the source-engine. But that doesn't mean they won't make Half-Life 4(?), right?

Finally, Newell also warned fans not to expect a Half-Life movie anytime soon, as he had some unkind words to say about the script treatments Hollywood has offered: "They all sucked!"Haha, it's good that they won't take any offer

"Rather than make gamers wait another six-plus years for Half-Life 3, the developer thought people might appreciate playing the game in smaller chunks if they didn't have to wait as long."
Nope, they should take their freaking time.
HL2 Ep. (1-3), isn't a very good name, they probably should have named them HL3 Ep. (1-3), cause that would make HL2, HL2 Ep. 0........
OMG!!! That's it! 0 doesn't exist numericlly, it is nothing, so they are saying HL2 never existed, and in episode 1, that is the beginning of HL2.
So the basic story line is that you are stuck in the train(in Hl 1), then come out when the citadel is Crashing(In HL2 Ep. 1)...... They are trully artists.......

I don't know about that :
Episode1 is the only official Half-life game in which you are not moving when it all begins.
Half-life and Blue-Shif have the Black Mesa tram, Opposing Force has an osprey? and Half-life2 and probably Half-life2 Episode2 start on a train.

One thing that kind of bugs me is that there's practically no new content except new animations, dialogues and scenes - no new weapons, no new monsters (rkprcg mbzovarf) or anything that majorly changes game play. A few new textures, models and scenes don't cut it, really.

They're just interested in telling the story...I can wait a year or two if it means they'll make a good add-on with new vehicles, a load more enemies and some old HL2 beta weapons.

Don't forget the flares. They are one of the greatest additions to the franchise. 
I hope Episode2 brings new content. The change of setting should help them feel free of the city17 theme. Let's hope it doesn't turn into "Forest 17"

Let's hope it doesn't turn into "Forest 17"Well from what i've seen in the trailer, it looks like it's set just outside of City 17, it could very well be 'Forest 17'.

You dont need all new textures, or models for a good game. I thought Ep1 was very good, and I look foward to episode 2. Stop your wining and enjoy it for god's sake!

can you stop dismissing all discussion as whining already
Forest would be pretty boring given the number of forest-based games that are ound will be coming out soon, e.g. Oblivion, Far Cry, Crysis.

A forest-themed episode will be fine by me, but I don't see how the source engine will produce large, forrested areas with any detail at all... We'll see.
And yeah, you don't need new models or weapons or enemies, but that's kind of what I expect from a 250-SEK expansion... Look at OpFor - in comparison, OpFor is gigantic-huge-big-extreme, for the same money.
The story and telling of it in Episode One kicked ass, though. But worth that amount of money? I'm not sure.

Local moderator RabidMonkey is a mapper (and a leet one at that) for the Black Mesa (they couldn't keep the Source) mod, for those of you that didn't know. Probably quite few, but still. It's an impressive mod.

I knew that 
How is their work progressing anyway? I checked their news section, but it haven't been updated since some of their screenies leaked out. It's very cool that they'll be realeasing it for free, cause I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks for it.
Did anyone catch some info about the REAL combine? I tried to while I played through E1. But I only catched a glimpse of that green-ish character Dr Breen was talking with before. It would be nice to find out who these guys really are.

Scroll down to the spoiler post...Basically rumour has it the story of HL2 EP 1-3 has been leaked...Oh also on page 2 or 3 there is a link to a phone interview that states EP 1-3 will not end the story...So I assume we're going further into the future
