the reason why people yearn for a true sequel to half-life 2 isn't because of the story. it's because it is one of the best games of all time mechanicly, and probably the best shooter we ever had. and after 8-9 years of clone after clone after clone of the same old mechanics, we want a game that pushes the genre just like HL did in 1998 and HL2 did in 2004. episode 1 and 2 were just a continuation of HL2 but it was essentially the same game and a lot of people weren't really happy with that.
I really love Valve and their progressiveness with pushing the meta part of gaming, new input/output methods, new ways of experiencing games. but, at the end of day, we need good games. and that's what Valve is best known for.
