Gabe is absolutely right on this. If it doesn't completely recenter the first person shooter genre, it's not really a half life game.
Episodes 1 and 2 were fun but they in no way “recentered the first person shooter genre.”
They hoped the episodic delivery of games would be the future. Especially alongside a digital distribution platform like Steam. I suspect they realized episodes wasn’t the way after the release of Orange Box, so they moved on from that.
