Next Orange box engine capabilities
I'm fully aware of that, so I don't think it would be in HL2 EP3 Or even HL3.
However, by the time that HL4 comes around, it's entirely possible that the average computer could handle it.
All I'm saying is Bruce Willis figured it out before Saumel L. Jackson.
Of course he did, he's John Fucking McClane!
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.

Episodes 1 2 and 3 ARE HL3.
If valve decide to continue the sage after ep 3 it won't be HL3, it will be HL4
They probably will call it HL3, since the episodes aren't labeled as HL3 and it would be confusing to the average consumer if the next game was called HL4.

Well, on the OrangeBox, Epsiode 2 is labelled:
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
So the "next version" of Half-Life would be HL3, IMO.
I know its Half life 2: Episode 2, I'm just saying what was said either in the dev commentary or an interview I saw with Gabe.
Anyway, fluid liquids would be nice, but they really wouldn't add much to gameplay.
Wind would be good although again, not many gameplay elements there.
Oh yeah I remember, more dynamically destructable environments(think worms), but that not going to happen for ages and ages.
The average consumer is a retard.
Most companies seem to be calling their products based on what version their engine is. UT3 is actually the fourth installment, but UT2k4 was counted as UT2.5. Battlefield 2 is the third installment of the Battlefield series, but Battlefield Vietnam is considered Battlefield 1.5. Heck, they've announced Battlefield 3 now even though it's the fifth installment.
I think the Episodes would be considered as HL2.5. I also think HL3 will be completely different timeline and/or story. HL1 was about Black Mesa, HL2+EP was about the resistance of the Combine, HL3 may be the destruction or maybe the retaliation of the Combine. HL3 may even be about a completely different story all together.
I want them to have a proper lighting system, not just a system where you create an invisible entity that projects light, but a model that actually projects light through the glass of a lights bulb; so the lgiht is projectign from the models bulb,. not from an invisible entity,
As well as a better physics engine where you stand on a box and can actually mover around instead of it causing you to fly half way across the map... also a better vegetation system like someone said.
