What you first play Half Life 2 you are surprised at every turn. Its the enviroment, its the feeling that wow, this level looks like that place I drove past on our trip to LA. OMG i can use the gravity to pick up scanners and use em as buzzsaws, OMG the pulse rifle secondary fire vaporized that guy, OMG i just dropped that car on those zombies, killing them instantly, OMG i can roll nades into gun turret holes, OMG my crossbow bolt pinned the guy to the wall upside down by his leg, or OMG this blue gravity gun can pick up enemies and throw them at other enemies. I know I've played ravenholm about 3-4 times just cause its awesome killing zombies with the Gravity gun.
And look how far Half Life has come, people are still making mods for a 6 year old game. Imagine what they can do with the source engine!? Half Life 2 will last much longer than Halo2 and I bet Microsoft is trying to make Halo 3 as fast as possible so people don't lose intrest in the Halo series. Whereas Valve will take it's time because Half Life 2 isn't gonna lose intrest anytime soon.

The speculated predacessor to Half Life 2: Episode 3.
Though Valve has confirmed that episode three will be the last in the current story arc, they have promised that the Half Life games will continue, most likley through the "episodic medium" they are currently being delivered in.
**Speculation from the next game being the actual anticipated HL3 can be justified by noting that the plot lines of Half Life 1 and 2 are different from one another, so in Valve's admission that the series will not end at Episode 3, it can be inferred that the next title will be HL3**
One thing certain about Half Life 3 is that it will be the continuation of the greatest game ever made, aside from portal, which is tied with half life for that title.

"TS-SWL: Are there any current plans after Episode 3 to have a Half Life 3?
DL: We haven’t announced anything specific, but Half-Life won’t end at Episode Three – hang on to your crowbars!"

A game.
More specifically, a mind-control device that causes anyone who plays it to begin dissing Halo for no good reason.

The sequel to the game in which you played as some nerdy scientist with a crowbar. Now, in Half-Life 2, you're a badass nerd scientist with a crowbar. It promises revolutionary graphics, physics engine, characters, storyline and quite frankly everything else. It will be an amazing game without a doubt.
