When people say that Valve doesn't have anything to show about Half-Life because they are not working on it makes me laugh, remember these are the people that made the unique Half-Life games, they don't just sit and think "aw crap we don't know what to do next" for 4 years. They are making it and I believe the waiting is coming to an end. If they chose to be silent about the new Half-Life that means there is a reason for it, and I'm sure they will explain the whole silent thing once the game is released.

Alternatively they could have made no progress at all, circa the HL2 Leak.
Also I want more news on the mute character.
Dry? Didn't HL2 have like, 1000 water levels :v:
OMG HL3 IS COMING
Also keep in mind how much pressure valve is in, if they don't pull this off successfully they'll fuck up everything they've made. A Half life that is not enjoyable will be Gabe Newell's biggest regrets, hopefully this isn't a duke nukem forever thing.

Exactly. Developers start making games long before they announce them. For example an interview with Rockstar's Sam Houser from 1st of March 2003 states that you can expect similar technology in San Andreas as in Vice City, and next GTA will be made from scratch and probably will be released on next gen consoles.

Mike Harrington, CO-founder of Valve left it shortly after Half-Life 1 was released because he didn't believe Half-Life 2 will be as great as first game and he couldn't have taken that emotionally. Valve loves what they do and still have lots of creativity, which Portal 2 proves. I would not worry about their next Half Life because if it's not as good they will start over and over as many times as needed to make a next big thing. They did that with Half-Life 2, they did that with Team Fortress 2, they even did that with Half-Life when all the money company had was from Gabe's pocket. He just stopped one day in '97 before original release date, looked at this:

And said "Stop. This is shit. We need to start over" And thus, Half Life as we know it was born.

Duke Nukem was actually announced with a trailer and shit back in 1995(?)
The new Half Life is not even announced yet

True, but I still think I am going to enjoy it as long as it explains more about Black Mesa vs Aperture Science, the Borealis etc. So many questions to be answered
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;33683049]Not confirmed but it is the most obvious, even though [B]Ellis [/B]dies at the end, the first chapter will probably contain Alyx revenging over her fathers death, probably making the operation more aggressive[/QUOTE]

I said Duke Nukem Forever, not Duke Nukem and Episode 3/HL3 has been confirmed in the past meaning it is in development
Have you seen this?

It has codes in it.
Fuck this. Fuck Valve, VGAs, Episode 3, HL3, this thread, 290 posts and all the downs and disappointment!
I have lost faith in Valve. I'm sick and tired of waiting. The game will never come. Might as well stop hoping and hyping.
For some reason, I can't help but think that HL3 is going to be the new DNF - it'll never live up to it's expectations.

It hasn't even been fucking announced yet, DNF was announced prematurely
At least valve is doing stuff right, only announcing when they are sure they are ready for it

You obviously didn't have alot of faith in Valve from the start then.
Them taking so long can be seen as a good thing, yes i know the waiting is difficult but they would not just be happy with getting the game done as fast as they can and releasing it. It has to be as good as it can be, anything less just isn't good enough for them. That is why many of their games are completly different from what we first saw of them (E.g HL1, HL2, HL2EP2, TF2)
All of their games have been very high quality, and were not released until Valve was happy with them. That is why Episode 3 will be an awesome game when it is released. Valve has said many times it is being worked on, and if you think otherwise then you don't know Valve very well.

Somebody has yet to realize that delaying games is what Valve does best, even Gabe Newell said that and you know why they get delayed? So when you play it, it isn't shit

BF3 had pretty good optimization.

Even if people will now claim this mail is fake, I don't think it is and I hope we can finally put an end to this crap.
I hope to see some levels with weather effects like rain or snow- bit unrealistic that it never seems to rain in the HL universe other then mild snow (ashes?) in EP 1. Maybe use it in a driving level- you can't go too fast or you'll slip off the road because it's too icy or wet.
Reminds me of the dark, gloomy, rainy atmosphere of the old, more New York-ish C17.
If Ep3 aint out before November the 20th next year, i will shoot myself.
I have been waiting 5 fucking years what the fuck
the mail mentioned above, is from me. it is 100% no fake.
