Didn't Valve say that the three HL2 episodes were Half-Life 3?

 

Yes, but they also said that there'd be only two episodes, there'd be only one expansion for Half-Life and that Team Fortress 2 would release in 2000! There will a Half-Life 3, of that I am 110% sure! When it will arrive is a different matter alltogether, though.

Hahah, good call on TF2. I forgot it was actually supposed to be an original HL game.

How many expansions did HL1 end up getting? Three? Four? I don't even remember anymore...

 

Hmm, there was Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Team Fortress (more a mod though but it was listed as an expansion in catalogues) and Condition Zero (technically based upon both the work og Valve and the Gooseman team who made the original CS). In addition, Team Fortress 2 was supposed to release as a late HL expansion with the Source 1.5 (so to speak) engine.

Newell stated in an interview with Gametrailers or Gamespot or some such that they were working on a third version of the now famed Source Engine (which of course has been utilized by numerous developers and games by now) and it seems logical to me that they'd use this in a third Half-Life game (allthough Epic's Unreal 3 engine was never used for a main series Unreal 3 SP game I don't think Valve would take this route).

All these things be damned, I want my Episode 3! Number 2 just blew me away on all accounts!

PS: Speaking of Source Engine; look out for ZenoClash this year guys!
