To continue the other stuff that he posted about EP3, Dota 2 Beta files also show that valve is working on a Space game or something, also a store for dota 2. Not to mention a Matchmaking section for a series called "episodic", which you guys probably know by now is what valve calls HL Episode games in game files. src/matchmaking/matchmaking_episodic
The weponizer things could have been something to do with Dota 2, no? Still, [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]

[QUOTE=t h e;32368780]So where did the files get leaked... I cant ask that can i[/QUOTE] the usual spot most gaming leaks are at, 4chan, is a good place to look at.
[QUOTE=LegoGuy;32348759]The reason why they renamed the project yes renamED as in like, 3 years ago. for the following reasons. 1. Valve decided to quit doin' episodes right after episode 2 was released. 2. The game is now too long to be just an episode [url=http://pc.ign.com/articles/118/1182273p1.html]Source Read it yourself[/url] [/QUOTE] Got to 'But will it be a Source game?' and gave up. Throwing out a bunch of what-ifs like a different engine or a multiplayer story makes the author sound like he's trying to drum up excitement for an article that appears to be mostly speculation.
[QUOTE=Jericho_Rus;32359802]It wouldn't be an end of a story arc if he wasn't going to be put to stasis.[/QUOTE] Gordon becomes a new GLaDOS. I really hope they make EP3/HL3 alot Darker. The HL univerise has the potential to be really Dark, but so far it doesn't seem like it (except for a few small details)

They said that they know how to manipulate people's fears and will do it in the next installment of the series, but not with cheap screamers but "for example, seeing your son dying" (I don't remember the actual quote but something like that was said).

It probably relates to an updated HL2DM more than anything else.
PC Gamer mentioned the weaponizer in an interview once. It's a weapon that can pick up stuff, like the gravity gun can, and then turn it into a weapon or something along those lines.

It was in/cut from the beta, it let you pick up cans, bricks, headcrabs and throw them, etc. You also have to remember that we're not going to be seeing the dark gravity gun any more so they're obviously going to throw some nice new weapon or entity in the mix to keep us entertained.
Can someone upload Episode Three files from DotA 2 Beta?

Gosh top hats in valve games are getting pretty overdone now.
Holy crap, I just logged in and I noticed 77 new posts since last night. I nearly had a frigging heart attack........ But still no new info... :(
Gluon Gun and Tau Cannon source files from the Dota 2 "leak". ep3/weapon_egon.cpp ep3/weapon_gauss.cpp I am extremely happy that the "source" files are just from a repository log, and did not actually leak. That would have been the worst day ever for Valve.
Why is there so much DotA2 discussion in here?
[QUOTE=Marlamin;32372983]Gluon Gun and Tau Cannon confirmed for Episode 3, apparently. ep3/weapon_egon.cpp ep3/weapon_gauss.cpp I am extremely happy that the "source" files are just from a repository log, and did not actually leak. That would have been the worst day ever for Valve.[/QUOTE] probably legacy support or something. TF2 had a crapload of TFC content, and HL2 had all of HL1's hud icons.
because some files in the beta mentioned Episode 3 in their directory

[QUOTE=Randdalf;32372331]No I'm not, because I specifically read an interview where the weaponizer was mentioned.[/QUOTE] Yes, I also remember a video interview where a Valve developer talking about how they did experiments with an item called weaponizer, and how it didn't work. [b]Edit:[/b] I think it was Tom Leonard, or Gabe Newell. I'm not sure.
It would be nice if those elemental weapons were actually upgrade for Gravity Gun, so you can 'pick up' concrete from walls, liquids and other stuff
And how do you know, they won't do something like this? However, I thought in Episode One, after the train crashes, you have no choice but to pick up broken concrete pieces with the gravity gun, and use that against the zombies. I don't know what picking up liquid would do though, but I see no reason why its not possible. However, I could see sucking up snow, and chucking it at a Combine Soldier so he's buried in it and can't go anywhere. Otherwise, you have to use ammo. I would think they should have a way to freeze enemies into ice blocks, considering the environment, but I may be wrong.
