I'm pretty sure if it was announced at E3, you would have heard about it. These forums would explode.

Only way it'd be "canceled" is if it was announced that HL3 was coming out.

If it was cancelled, there'd be news about it on every gaming site and threads about it in every gaming forum. Methinks your friend is telling porkies.

I think shot is the proper verb. Slapping him is letting him off easy, lying about EP3 should be punishable by death.

Cancelled or otherwise, HL2Ep3 is a failure anyways.

14 years of hype will most likely kill Episode 3, and if it is indeed cancelled, the HL fanbase will lash out at Valve.

Most likely the requirements, irrelevant since PCs are several times more powerful than they used to be when XP was released, having a supercomputer to make it calculate 1 + 1 is pointless and a waste.

Will the Puff Puff Pass system be integrated into that? giving your friends a taste for a limited time is a great way to test the merchandise and boost the sales.

Yep the Episode format is dead, the next Half-Life game is likely to be a full game. Also explains why it's taking so long.

I hope not. It is hard for me to imagine that Valve would drop its arguably most popular franchise and the francise that put it on the map like that. I think HL is an IP rich with money. I think they are just taking their sweet time making it perfect.

Overrated or not, Far Cry 1 is NOT better than HL2. Period. :P

My theory of why they are takeing sooo long is because they are makeing a new engine for Half-life 3. Which does take alot of time.

Apparently they ditched the episodic development model in 2007, so yes Ep 3 has been cancelled for a few years now. Half Life 3 on the other hand is very much alive.

I hope EP3 got cancelled... that means HL3 will be longer! :D Since you know, they have to conclude HL2 Episodes storyline and then start HL3 storyline and all that

They may have stopped Episode 3 if they dont want to do episodes anymore but that doesnt mean Half Life 3 aint coming. Valve is just taking their sweet freakin time. So annoying.

HL2 while a great game is overrated..

Yea its overrated, I can agree, But it does deserve most of its praise (I played it in 2008-2009, and it still deserved a good bit of it) I can only imagine what it would of been like back when it first came out.. So yea I would say it was a fantastic game..

Better than Far Cry (either) I am actually having more fun with Crysis than either Far Cry, and I honsestly think that I had more fun with HL2 than Crysis, (not much though, I have actually really gotten into Crysis)

I don't really care if Ep3 isn't comming though, Just as long as HL3 covers the cliff hanging ending of Ep2, if it goes from end of Ep2 to a whole new HL story, there will be some serious Gap there story wise.

I agree that Far Cry 1 was better, but I still want a Half Life 3. Far Cry 1 was better than every other shooter ever made, imo.

If they've ditched the episodic format or not, i hope valve's next HL release starts off where EP2 stopped. God, it one of those few cliffhanging endings thats etched in my mind.

Relax, mang, relax. Haven't read all the posts in this thread but Valve's probably on to HL 3 already. I don't know about the rest of you, but that's the least I expect from Valve after all of these years. Plus, now's as good a time as any to either give the source engine an overhaul or createa new engine for a new game.

After all these years won't it make more sense for them to just make HL3 instead of episode 3.
