And remember what they said: "The community is trolling the community, not Valve." Right, right.[/QUOTE]
Obviously he isn't going to confirm them being real hints, that would ruin their plans.
Besides, he says it looks like, not confirming it: As in that's just what it looks like - might not be what it actually is.

It hasn't stopped BitGamer from running a story on it and failing to mention his tweet about trolling.

They just edited it now with the trolling part.
Garry is probably part of the ARG.
Check out the next speech of Barack Obama if he says the words, "Half", "life", "three".

"Well over [i]half[/i] of our nation's projected annual budget has been put to use to fund nuclear weapons to protect america. We realize that we will see a war within our [i]life[/i]time, be it a small conflict or World War [i]Three[/i], and we will be prepared for it."
And then the Enclave Oil Rig became party central.
Y'know, I think I remember an earlier article that said Portal 2 was [B]probably[/B] going to be Valve's last game with an [B]isolated[/B] singleplayer experience. Being that the comments were made by a third party, namely GameTrailer TV's Geoff Keighly, there are doubts about any definites concerning the future of singleplayer Valve games.
But if this is true, then it might mean that the next Half-Life (avoiding the naming controversialities apparent hereabouts) may be co-op based, though hopefully being that Valve's track record has been pretty good so far, means that Half-Life's shift to co-op won't be akin to FEAR's shift to co-op, meaning that Valve'll likely find some way to pull it off without too many hitches.
Regardless, I keep on thinking that the first few minutes would pan out something like this; Gordon's lapsed into a coma, and during the many months of Freeman's inactivity the HEV is improved somewhat, maybe even intergrating the Gravity Gun into the suit itself. A week or two before Gordon wakes from the coma, Barney finally arrives at White Forest (or the Episode 2 closing sequence is retconned to include Barney in White Forest like it was probably meant to be). When Gordon wakes up, he finds out that Alyx took the helicopter to the Borealis on her own, and has to find his own way to the ship, probably using the Jalopy on a set of abandoned roads to the north of White Forest.
If the next Half-Life does indeed have co-op, and Alyx leaves without you, Barney would be the logical choice for a co-op partner, though a Vortigaunt ally wouldn't be too bad either.
Speaking of the Vorts, I really hope we get to see more of them and learn more about the "Vortessence". There's so much about the Half-Life universe that has yet to be expanded on, and yet we've not seen any of it for over 4 years. Frankly the whole delays and secrecy thing just isn't funny anymore; if anything it feels like a sick joke at best... Well, there's always hope for this year; after all it's gotta be revealed eventually, especially once CS:GO and Dota 2 have been launched. Unless of course they decide to expand on Portal and Left 4 Dead, though I don't think we've heard much on either except for the Portal 2 co-op expansion DLC, and I recall from ages back that there was some third-party campaign called Cold Stream being worked with.
But other than that I can't say i've really heard much news from Valve lately; it almost seems like it's gone silent.
I think it'll be a MMO.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;34161276]I think it'll be a MMO.[/QUOTE]
Better yet a FPS MMO with DLC and hats. oh and prestiges.
Maybe they will put an in-game multiplayer, instead a separate "deathmatch" game.

I actually heard something about Valve saying that they'll never have a pure single player game again... I FEEL I heard it, but I don't know if I really did... so do NOT quote me on that.
If that's true, I'm going to play the whole game with my mate.
I'm sure as hell ready for a HL3DM.
With ports of the HL1 classics like HL2DM did, of course (Datacore->Steamlab, for instance)!
Oh man, we also need a CTF mode in HL3DM like OP4 had. Including a remake of CTF_Hairball :v:

It's not showing game time either.
I can't "join his game"... It's surely a MP thing, like DOTA 2.

Oh man.
I thought all valve employees had every game on steam?
Well it seems most of them do, although there are a few who don't.
