Rumor: Half Life 2 Episode Three set in the big freeze? |
Ó
It's not set in stone yet, but there's a strong possibility that Half-Life 2's Episode Three may just take place in the Arctic, the hint gleaned from a rather telling session with Valve Corporation's Doug Lombardi, as CVG reports. It was during the preview of Episode Two that Tom Francis put forward the suggestion that the next installment would have you and Alyx traipsing in the Arctic, and instead of quickly shooting it down, Valve PR Doug Lombardi merely replied, "That would be exciting, wouldn't it?"
In a moment that would do a certain Ace Attorney proud, Tom put forward some evidence to solidify his claim: Valve's Half-Life 2 coffee-table book, Raising The Bar, which has within its pages a climactic battle in an arctic base, described in great detail. It's something to note that the same battle detailed in Raising The Bar was supposed to be the climax of Half Life 2 itself, but was cut out at the last minute.
It would make sense for Valve to flesh the entire thing on the final episode. When confronted with the fact that they gave away quite a lot with the book, Doug agreed (without confirming anything, of course), saying that for a US$ 25 book, they had to give away something.
What do you think? Will the trilogy get the ending it deserves? Updates as we get them!

but...
i swear there are already 2 parts, then when ep2 comes out that will make 3... so, wouldn't it be quadrilogy if there was an ep3?
I don't think Valve ever called it a trilogy, QJ just mistakenly did. Or maybe they are just counting ep 1 with Half-Life 2, since Ep 1 can hardly be called its own game
If you did any research at all you would know this.
Half-Life 2 is a lone game, and episodes 1 2 and 3 make one full game which they have called Half-Life 3 but they have also called an episodic trilogy.
You console retards annoy me to no end, I wish Valve hadn't decided to make console ports.
I've probably been playing Half-Life much longer than you have, so shut it. I couldn't wait for Nov. 19 1998, and I was blown away that day. I have been a Half-Life fan ever since. I have every version of every Half-Life and Counter-Strike release, and Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are two of my favorite games of all time.
omg you're all a bunch a nerds
yes episode 3 is gonna be amazing
yes episode 1,2,3 are all "half life 3"
no half life 2 isnt a part of it
but isntead of fighting over episode 3 you nerds shouldnt we be more angry that episode 2 got delayed till december cuz of the gay ps3 version just had to be reliesed at the same time?
crappy console that almost no one can buy is more important than getting this amazing game out on time
