They're obviously going to call it Half-life 2: Chapter 3
Great way to treat the fans Valve.
[QUOTE=hoodoo456;35803361]As usual, Valve sits on their collective asses and does nothing.[/QUOTE] LMFAO this is the stupidest post ive seen in eons
IGN hints at Half-Life, Gabe says "No Ep3". What then? A remake of Half-Life using the source engine? Yep, that's probably it. Black mesa:Source finally got released.

[QUOTE=Hullu V3;35804991]Has Valve ever announced anything at E3? I can't remember many?[/QUOTE] wasn't portal 2 announced at e3? or was that a different conference
good god you children they said "no New projects" ep3 by far isnt "new"
Most likely the source engine will be on android starting with half life source, while showing off other source engine titles on linux. (refering to the teaser from Edge)
Perhaps there won't be EPISODE 3. But maybe there'll be HALF-LIFE 3, bing boop bippity [B]bop[/B] You know, just to fool everyone.

This will turn into a DNF and EP3 will be really shit because everybodys expecations are insanely high.

dnf wasnt bad it was just insanely average, if you look at it as a game its an okay experience if you look at it as a game that was supposed to come out 10 years ago, then yeah its shit
So by that comparison there is hope we will get Ep3 someday. Truth is, this year Valve has a lot projects to deliver, CD:GO and DotA2, so I understand them not announcing Ep3. My main question is if we even should expect Ep3. I remember reading somewhere that Gabe said the episodic content didn't work and they are abandoning it. So we might actually get HL3 or something. But I'm not sure how genuine the article was.
I'll go kick a wall and bet that valve won't release ep3 until they upgrade source a little more. That's what you get for having a old engine. I mean not even the dynamic shadows work 100%

DNF sucked at virtually every aspect visual interactive art can possibly suck at.
Why do people still get excited about hints of Ep:3? I mean, I got excited too, the first 2 years after Ep:2, but almost none of the times it has seemed like we'll be getting some new information we have actually gotten any at all information. There's no need to get hyped by anything but official statements regarding Ep:3 anymore. Regarding the idea that it won't live up to expectations, well just don't fucking ruin the game by getting hyped as shit when you don't get any information about the game and it probably will live up to your expectations.
Maybe it's legit Richochet 2??

If I think about EP2 being 5 years back, it's not a big deal, but when I look at my age...I was 15 then, now I'm 20..cmon Valve..
Another E3 and no HL3 in sight. Sigh.
Why the hype every time anyway? Half Life is a pretty good game but not anything I would really strive to see sequel of. I wouldn't mind if Valve went for something completely new, instead.
