[QUOTE=Zee Captain;37228822]Craptasket, you are gonna be shit-faced when I am right. We should raise the bar a bit, you should throw something in our little bet.
I won't back down because I am 100% sure Half Life 3 is gonna be at Gamescom.
Edit-
Even if there are new sources later on that says Half-Life 3 wont be shown. It's gonna be shown.[/QUOTE]
Better start making alts now.
[QUOTE=mastermaul;37228826]It's not like i'm mad at them for not showing Half Life 3, that's not under their control at all.
Just a bit silly that they made that cover unveiling so secretive and made it sound so amazing and then it's just something everyone knew of for months.[/QUOTE]
The people behind CoD have a lot of marketing sway, and they're probably trying to create an air of anticipation.
hahaha it'd be hilarious if this was actually true

Apparently something that was already well known for weeks in advance was critical enough to suddenly stop production and change everything. Apparently they put more "blood sweat and tears" into that then the last 32 months' worth, including all of the prior CoDs.
Half-Life 3 won't be announced at gamescom.[/QUOTE]
wow how fucking boring
The information for the lsit is taken from forums, blogs and everything else they want.
[QUOTE=Dejarie;37228827]I'd imagine they meant it in the context of revealing details of the multiplayer, not the fact it exists.[/QUOTE]
my point stands that who cares its gonna be the same as every other cod
even with 'exciting new features' its gonna be the same, and as if anybody cares about it anyway

[QUOTE]In case that’s not enough, I just got off the phone with a Gamescom representative who confirmed to me that every game on that list will be showcased at Gamescom 2012, and that the list itself is entirely legitimate. I didn’t ask about Half-Life 3, but you’re free to pick up the phone if you like.[/QUOTE]
Well, fuck me.
In a good way.
Fine. I will allow myself, for the first time in years, to be hopeful of a Half-Life reveal. But I will still be prepared if it does not happen either.

I'm not going to get my hopes up only to be disappointed; but if Half-Life 3 is really getting announced I have no idea what reaction I'll have.

Yeah man you should listen to this modera...
Well shit.

I will personally get my self permaban if Half Life 3 is NOT announced at Gamescon.

Please.
These kinds of wagers are fun.
I'm not one for faith so if it comes out and it's actually good, well, good. I'll keep an eye on the event.
While I'm doubtful that HL3 will be announced, if they don't have anything to announce then why wouldn't they skip GamesCom like they skipped E3?

There are still tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people that look forward to news about it. Even if you don't personally like something, doesn't mean everyone else share the same opinion.
This is going to end badly. Thank god I only played through the Half Life 2: Episode 2 in 2010 not 2007.

[UPDATE 2: In addition, Doug Lombardi (Valve's VP of marketing) has confirmed to us that Valve has no plans to show anything game-related at Gamescom:
We will have the Steam team there to meet with developers and publishers. No game showing planned.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;37228704]Honestly what else could be that big?
I know we're setting ourselves up for disappointment here but... I can't think of a single other title with such immeasurable hype and legend surrounding it that would warrant such drastic actions. Half Life 3 is big. Extremely big. Unthinkably big. Half Life 3 would be bigger news than a console announcement. Half Life 3 is so shrouded in myth and mystery that I don't think we can even comprehend our reaction to it in foresight.[/QUOTE]
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer is that big, according to GameInformer AU. The cover has been revealed.

It isn't even news, unless nobody can figure out that CoD will have fast paced run-n-gun gameplay with customizable loadouts and unlockable weapons and attachments with some objective gameplay and a couple game modes taken from older, better games.

And like I said earlier, chances are. they're talking about new features. Sure the general theme has remained the same, but they've all added to it in there own way.
Well, I don't really care that much, it comes when it comes.
But seeing as Valve is doing all these updates to Steam, TF2 and seems to have some plans for at least polishing up Hammer if not taking the Source Engine itself to a V2, then it wouldn't be too far fetched of them to start announcing HL3.
I would imagine HL3 comes at the same time as the next installment of the Source Engine (which they've said very well would just meant that they changed and updated so much of the engine that it would no longer really be the old engine) comes like the previous two did.
Valve has been hard at working polishing up and changing their services, releasing tools and just being productive that I see this as a possibility. Not like "OH SHIT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN" but "Yeah, it might happen".

I've seen developers say one thing only to do another many times, but I'm only really pointing that out because I'm tired of not hearing a damn thing about Half-life. It's a really great series, and it pains me to see so much of Valve's attention going to games like TF2.
