The latest issue of GameInformer is reporting that fans of Half Life will be disappointed if they were looking forwards to seeing a new episode of the long-lived series.

The issue explicitly states that in speaking to Valve, they were told that the company has no plans whatsoever to release the third chapter of Half-Life this year, and that development of the game is still on-going.

Placeholder signature. Will probably replace this tomorrow.

I literally tried throwing my chair like that when my friend sent me the news couple days ago.
Though, the chair only moved couple inches.

I flipped our sofa that basically across the downstairs living room when playing melty blood.

They're re-writing the HL engine for it. Not entirely surprised or disappointed.

They are rewriting the source engine for it.

They are really trying to keep the user friendly interface with the development kits and such and keeping it simple to code for, but they need to modernize it. More GPU less CPU please valve.

Well they do make a new version of source for almost every game they make (ep1, 2007, l4d, etc)
But yes this one seems to be bigger. Kinda weird though, I would of though they'd keep that for HL3, but I guess not

They did say they were aiming for something more ambitious

So I'm thinkng there's gonna be something big we don't know.

They better be modifying the engine to allow players to go BACK IN TIME or some shit - I can't think of anything else that justifies the wait so far

I feel the need to point out that this is Valve who said it wouldn't be out in 2010.
Valve, who brought us L4D2 only a year after L4D came out. Valve, who are still updating their 3-year old multiplayer shooter after they said they'd cease development in 2008. Valve, whose very first game is still fun on computers twelve years after its release. Valve, who raped and killed a girl in 1990. Valve, who have absolutely no concept of time whatsoever.
Basically people are really pissed off with this news, and Gabe'll have to give a meaningful response sooner or later. Whether that's before the game's release is for time to tell. Valve time.
