. I read through the comments and I found the true reasons why there will be no Half Life 3. Cant spell ignorant without IGN
I think its safe to say that Valve can't count to 3. Half life 2, Episode 2 , left for dead 2, Portal 2, Team fortress 2.
The best comment of them all.
*152 years from now*
so grandson that’s how half-life episode 2 ended...
oh gee wiz grandpa can i hear more of the story?
Sorry kiddo but valve never released the third episode, they waited so long, not to mention after gabe's heart attack and died valve decided to go into new things, steam bought gamestop after it went bankrupt in the 2027 stock market crash, valve change its name to Sarif industries and started making artificial limbs for humans with amputated body parts...after artificial limbs were banned in 2070 sarif industries changes its name to The Manswell expedition thanks to its new owner and Billionaire Victor Manswell, frustrated with the pace of official human space exploration, begins funding his own private spaceflight expedition.The Manswell Expedition successfully launches from Earth en route to the Alpha Centauri system with 300 colonists aboard in cryogenic stasis. Communications with the vessel are lost soon after.
in 2147 Trace amounts of element zero are discovered on Mars. thanks to Manswell expedition Humanity discovers a small cache of highly advanced Prothean technology hidden deep beneath the surface of Mars on the south polar region of Promethei Planum. Building on the remnants of this long extinct race, humans quickly explore the science of mass effect fields, leading to the development of faster than light travel and beginning detailed exploration of the Sol system. 2149 Following information from the translated data cache on Mars, humans discover that Charon, Pluto's moon, is actually a massive piece of dormant Prothean technology, a mass relay, encased in ice.
Once activated, Jon Grissom leads the first team of explorers through the relay, which instantaneously transports them to another relay in Arcturus, 36 light-years away. The explorers discover that the mass relays are part of a vast network, making travel across the galaxy possible.
The Systems Alliance charter is signed by the eighteen largest nations on Earth. The Alliance soon becomes the military and exploratory spearhead of humanity.
in 2150 Manswell changed its name to Cerberus to look out for the better of humanities interest.
2151 To defend its expanding territory, humanity begins constructing a massive military fleet and space station at Arcturus, the nexus of several key mass relays, even though they have yet to encounter another intelligent spacefaring race. An accident at Singapore International Spaceport exposes hundreds of humans to dust-form element zero. Roughly 30% of the children born in Singapore after element zero exposure suffer from cancerous growths.In 2152 The Delta Pavonis Foundation, a major consortium based on Earth, begins settlement of humanity's first extra-solar colony world, the planet Demeter. Later that year, additional colonies are founded on Eden Prime and Terra Nova.
and thats pretty much why we never got to see half life 3, Shepard.
