They've been working on it, probably for years; it's in a legal quagmire nobody wanted to wade into. I hope they make some kind of improvements to it though, the engine is very buggy. Just completed the first one recently, here's my review:

pt.1

With the introduction of Half-Life in 1998, the Quake era of FPSes ended and the new plot-driven era began. For better or worse some things were lost and new things were gained. No One Lives Forever (colloquially "NOLF"), would have been impossible a concept pre-Half-Life; for one thing, it has a plot! You play as Cate Archer, 1960s female spy in a spoof of everything 1960s spy movies / TV shows. It manages to be funny and endearing and not the kind of parody that beats you about the head with the joke.

The attention given to the constant sexism Archer has to face as a "woman" in a man's job shows that, whilst parody this may be, the characters within the plot are entirely serious within their perspective of the world and that the humour in the game is at the level of the observer rather than the characters being 'in on it'. Highlighting the sexism women faced in the 1960s would not have come across honestly if the characters were going to stand around and laugh it off like some Internet troll -- "It's just a joke, bro!".
