In a recent interview with Valve’s Doug Lombardi, he confirmed that Half-Life 2: Episode 3 will not be the last Half-Life game. Which isn’t exactly a big shocker. But since the company has repeatedly indicated they didn’t want to leave fans waiting years (or until the developers reached retirement age) for Half-Life 3, we could be seeing episodes continuing to be made in the shape of Half-Life: Episode 4, etc.
To quote the Stuffwelike interview:
Question: With the ending of Episode 2 going directly to help the feeling of “must play Episode 3 now” could you give the current estimated date for Episode 3’s release?
Answer: We haven’t announced a date for Ep Three just yet.
Question: Are there any current plans after Episode 3 to have a Half Life 3?
Answer: We haven’t announced anything specific, but Half-Life won’t end at Episode Three – hang on to your crowbars!

Wow goblex you are a noob. Why flame post? It is perfectly logical to follow episode 3 with episode 4 even if they do not contain the same story arc. An episode just means same characters and environment. It does not even mean continuity. TV shows are good examples each one is an episode, some stories go through multiple episodes.
A separate part of a serialized work, such as a novel, play,tv show or videogame.
