Yeah I'm pretty confused. Is this normal for companies with established franchises? I would assume that most companies would trademark a lot of possible future products like Half-Life 3 and the like.

From what I understand this is an intent-to-use trademark. At the onset, they're given six months to use the property, at the very least compelling them to announce something. However, they can apply for a 6-month extension and that extension can be applied for up to 5 times. Essentially, we should be guaranteed to see something about Half-Life 3 within the next 3 years.
