I am really excited to maybe actually someday be able to play the next half life…

But when I watched the half life anniversary video a couple months back, their reasoning for why we didn't get more games bothered me. That they don’t want to put a game out solely to advance the story and instead only if it does something new.

As a fan of the series I thought this was frustrating and makes this a bit bittersweet and is kinda tempering my excitement. So we get HL3 soonish and Hl4 in another 20 years? I get it their reasoning but at some point I just want a game to come out for the story without reinventing the game every time.
