Half Life 2 Episode 3 Discussion

[Mr. Chop]

I wouldn't get too excited about Source Engine tech yet.

[HatredViral]

To be specific they said that episode 3 would be the end of the [b]current story-arc[/b]

Not the end of Gordon or whatever.

Basically the end of the combine.

Stop telling to us what we absolutely know every fucking time.

Inb4: Gordon will get back to statis.

It wouldn't be an end of a story arc if he wasn't going to be put to stasis.

Doesn't have to be stasis. He could always get trapped on say the Combine Homeworld for example.

[oxcjae.]

I'd love to see Half-Life 3 feature gameplay on the combine's homeworld.

Maybe it's taking so long to release Episode 3 because they're working on a whole new engine for it?

Source is really starting to show it's age.

Valve had said on several occasions that they are not making a new engine.

Also, compare Portal 2 with HL2.

[QUOTE=Marcolade;32355986]I believe they've said before, Episode 3 will only be the end of Gordon's adventures, not the Half-Life franchise in general. [/QUOTE]Yeah I'm pretty sure they said episode 3 would be just the conclusion to the combine storyline.

Apparently these are from the Dota 2 Beta files. Are you going to lose your shit now?

cpp are source files. They'd be openable straight away.

Like the alien swarm sdk with ep3_blob and all that crap that didnt do anything

May I ask how you obtained this list?

What, Smashman, people don't just end up with Dota 2 Beta files.

[Neo Kabuto]

[QUOTE=t h e;32367596]Like the alien swarm sdk with ep3_blob and all that crap that didnt do anything[/QUOTE]Did you expect them to be some fully functional part of a game that they've been keeping a total secret for years? They at least gave us a few hints toward what we might see in EP3/HL3.

No, I was comparing it to what the other guy said, it doesn't do anything and it's just there because Valve wants us to know they're working on it like the guy I replied to suggested.

Way to stuff words into my mouth.

The Dota 2 Beta leaked, and one of my steam friends was tromping through the files. The list was among other, far more interesting, temp files. You can see those here.

Ah, many thanks

[Smashman]

Leaking the entire Dota 2 Beta is a massive slap in the face to Valve and the Beta testers.

Is there any place to fully locate all of the files?

Agreed.. I doubt Valve will respond too happily to this. Alot of their games have leaked recently

I don't think it will cause them to close the closed beta though, they have a tougher upper lip than that.
