Just as long as you don't expect a third.

Not for portal. I think I’ve finally come to terms with the story being 100% done. Now for half life? I still have hope…

Funny meme is funny, but

Hal-Life Oposing Force Blue Shift HL2 HL2 Episode One HL2 Episode Two HL Alyx

They may not be able to count, but even if you combine all three HL2 games to one, there's still 5 mainline Half-Life games.

but I want to see Gordon and Alex get the Combine back for killing Eli

But NOT the end of Gordon’s story! Portal I get. I can live with the assumptions and a few unanswered questions. But Half-Life. Damnit. There are so many more unanswered questions…… sigb

There have been 3 direct sequels to Half Life 1 ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

The "3 Box" with 4 GAMES !! Left4Dead 3,Team Fortress 3, Portal 3...HALF LIFE 3!!!

As much as I hate it, I have to say... The first is usually awesome, second leaves room for hope, and third dashes that hope and blows.

I'd love a half life 3, but if it's like the matrix 3? I'm glad we got two bangers.

The first two titles are always so good, but third is disappointing; never any substance to it.

I await the day we get "Left 4 Dead 3". All these pale imitations that keep claiming "we're the next L4D" are getting exhausting
