Yes but you must also remember that this one has more than twice the single player content + a lot of co-op content so it's like 3x the game the original was, and I'm sure there's a lot more complex puzzles. And a lot more voice acting! This one has a story!

I want to buy it, I would split the 2 pack with you, but I'm not sure how we'd do that?

You have to remember, the voice actor for Breen died, no one knows outside of valve IF they needed him for ep3, maybe he had a big part in it and had to change a lot of the story of ep3 to do without him.

EP3 was not in development the last three years, probably very little and has been worked on a lot more for at least a year now.

But im a major valve die hard, i grew up on half life, so i dont care if ep3 isnt out for another year or two because it will be the last half life for a long long time.

Breen died in HL2, so they don't need his voice actor anymore.

Either way, if you listened to the commentary included in the first L4D you'd know that the L4D team is not the same team working on HL2: EP1/2/3 or TF2.

To be honest, I'm kind of disappointed that it's taking them so long to finish EP3, and I'm kind of expecting them to already be working on HL3 instead. It's been five (or was it six?) years since EP1 came out, four years since EP2 came out and we've still got zero information on EP3.

On Portal 2: I won't be buying it any time soon. The first game was fun, but it didn't really "waw" me. It was a good addition to the Orange Box, but I'd have never bought it outside of that package.

The Valve-owned domain aperturescience.com tossed up a countdown whose timer expires at 11 a.m. EDT/8 a.m. PDT tomorrow. Rumors, abetted by Easter eggs, have hinted that the game is arriving a week ahead of its announced April 19 date. Hey, it's either that or Half Life 2: Episode 3.

Going to wait until the next big Steam sale (Summer or Christmas I guess), when it is however much off.

Forever a student budget

Oh man if I had steam I'd get like 4 versions and share with all my friends.

We're all so damm hyped about it, it's awesome. Argh, watching the previews on my friend's computer in Physics class leads to some pretty mind-fuck discussions about the physics of it all though

I just got gifted original portal by a great buddy of mine on TF2 Brother Cygnus. (Such a baller) I won't be getting Portal 2 until it's on sale (well, until I finish portal, which will probably be around the next big sale)

I bet you also think that Ep3 was being developed for the last 3 years too. Please. Valve made two L4D games while working on Portal 2 and constantly throwing content to TF2.

Valve is not a particularly large company. If they hadn't made Portal 2, the time, money, and people that would have gone into Portal 2's development could have gone into Ep3's development. We could have been getting Episode 3 right now, but we're not. We're getting Portal 2 instead, because Portal somehow out-ranks Half-Life for development resources. Even though HL is the only reason Valve exists.
