Half-Life 2 wasn't as good as the original, but it's one of the most worthy sequels to a linear plot based video game I've ever seen. Man, I really wish they would finish remaking HL1 already.
I keep wishing they would make episode 3. I was hoping at the end of portal that would be the big surprise--a whole other long awaited game. You know the connection between Portal and Half-life right?

I wouldn't be surprised if they scrapped Episode 3 and just did HL3. Either way, I hope they are working on something.

I read something that said they aren't working on Half Life at all right now. Most people say Steam is to blame, because it takes so many resources to keep running.


Right now, I've been playing...

F.E.A.R. 3
Trenched (I'm beginning to think that Double Fine can't do anything wrong).
Peggle
Sonic Adventure DX


Going to start soon:
Shadows of the Damned
Alice: Madness Returns

No, they have not. I mod a half-life forum that is very connected with valve and I can reassure you that it has not been scrapped.

Almost.

Originally, the plot lines between the two games were going to be way more connected; however, when they were making Portal 2 valve decided to step away from being so intertwined.

Their connections:
1) They are the same world

2) When the deadly neurotoxin was released into Apertures labs it was never realized by the outside world because during the same time the events of the first Half-life (combine invasion) were going on. Basically because of the events of Half-Life aperture labs lay the forgotten wasteland that it was.


3) Aperture Science was in direct competition with Black Mesa to create the portal technology. Hence all the jokes about Black Mesa being a failure.

4) Borealis the ship (which was originally supposed to be a level in Half-life 2 but was scrapped) that was mentioned in Half-life 2 as belonging to aperture labs but having mysteriously disappeared (with its crew) is an easter egg in Portal 2. In case you are curious, where you find potato GLadoS there is a cabinet you can move back that takes takes you down a hallway where there is a door that opens up into a giant room where they kept that ship. It is pretty neat. Experiments with portal technology is how the ship disappeared and ended up at the arctic.

5) Also lots of people like to say the cave johnson is g-man. Eh, I'm not a big fan of this comparison.

6) Oh, also there are a few portal cubes around the half-life setting.

do you know why it's taking them so long to finish Episode 3? Are they making a new engine or something? cause damn, if it's only 3 hours of gameplay like Episode 1 and 2 it shouldn't be taking this long.
