Valve: We're still figuring out Episode Three
Valve Software is still working out exactly what it's going to do with Half-Life 2: Episode Three. "We don't know entirely what's happening in the next episode, but we're gonna figure it out!", a laughing David Speyrer, Episode Two project lead, has told PC Zone magazine. "There are always things we want to do that we can't because of the constraints of either the story or the arc we've laid out for the gameplay - or just time", he continued in a feature dissecting Valve's Orange Box, part one of which you can read on PC Zone's site here. "So we shelve them and carry on. Ideas fly around here quite a bit, so we have this huge laundry list of things to try for the next thing...", Speyrer concluded. Don't expect Episode III any time soon then by the looks of it.

But no, they say something wimpering instead, "We're not sure yet what to do, we're arguing amongst ourselves about priorities, and we are behind schedule, and we arent going to get everything in that we wanted to... meaning you might be a bit disappointed once we finally cobble something together".
They need a new PR team.
Valve can afford to be honest, because when they release something it does not dissapoint.
I would not read into his words that Episode 3 will somehow be a lesser product.
I do hope that E3 ends the HL world. It's not that I don't like HL, it's great.
I would just like to see them move onto something completely new before people start tiring of the story and their rep suffers because of trying to milk too much out of that particular IP.
So I'm guessing SM3.0 or even 4 support won't be added just yet.
That is what they did originally say.
However, as I remember, episode II took a while too, but they did add extra games like Portal and TF2.
Maybe they will add games along with this release :)
Anyways I am dying for episode 3. I finally got the time to finish episode 2 a few ago in the 360 and it just left me wanting more, so much more!!!
