I really really hope EP3/HL3 is more fun than HL2+Episodes were. I liked the story of HL2+Eps but I found the gun play really boring, the weapons were unsatisfying and the weapons that were fun to use were constantly short on ammo. Half life 1 is a game where I can pick up and play through from beginning to end, and find EVERY weapon fun and satisfying to use. I still like HL1's weapons even after having spent hundreds of hours playing Sven Coop (I spent most of my time in Sven Coop before they updated the weapons - hardly spent any time with the changed weaponry.) HL2 always lacked in that regard.
[QUOTE=Buck.;36516411]I find it a tad suspicious that its a leak, considering big TF2 update, and last meet the team video comes out today. When it does come out someone has to go through all the new files and look for possible clues. We might have another ARG on our hands.[/QUOTE]

- Steam Summer Sale
- Finalizing CS:GO and DOTA 2
You honestly think Valve got spare time this Q3?
[QUOTE=Francisco;36516712]i heard it wasn't actually "leaked" just took from the artist's website...[/QUOTE]
If that person posted them on their website, they must have been given the green light to do so in the first place.
[QUOTE=CanadianBill;36516409]It looks like this does indeed take place in Russia... the helicopter, the winter clothing, the landscape, etc.

because here in russia it is always winter, we drink communist vodka and crash communist helicopters
Meh.

Well, IIRC Valve has separate developers working on TF2, CS:GO, DOTA 2 and the other stuff. The Steam team is separate as well.
My mind cannot handle the amount of hype.

That's nothing compared to the 16k(?) people that were in the thread about Crysis 2 leaking.
Why the hell hasn't Valve already released EP3? It's pretty obvious it's going to make them a shitload of money

I dunno if they're developing a new engine to go with EP3.

'Seperate' isn't the right word there.
More like subteams, but it's not limited to that either
Also, Steam for Linux is coming Q3 too.

Maybe they want it to live up to peoples expectations and actually be good-amazing.
Not just milk a series.

We're in an era in which regardless how much money your game makes, any pissed off fan would downgrade you on Metacritic.

I didn't know people actually bothered with metacritic scores.
They're all paid for, anyways.
The place I'm at has internet filters that blocks all the images on the first page.
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
(Sorry if parts of this come out censored, the filter gets butthurt over the smallest thing)
Why does Alyx look extremely different? I don't like it. Should have stuck with the other style since this will be the 4th game with her in it.
Could the swirly things be hydra? Seems a bit far-fetched I know but that's all that comes to mind.

Holy crap! I think the Combine might be working with the shogoths.
Left part. Reminds me of the hydra

Can you imagine just walking in the Arctic and then one of these fuckers just pulling you straight through the ice, with Alex scrambling to pull you out? You go deeper and deeper into the ocean and suddenly [B]bam[/B], you're in Xen.

Some nice looking concept art, hope it's real.
My god, I don't know what to think about this.
Half of me WANTS TO BELIEVE, but the other half of me is too afraid to believe it in fear of mass disappointment later on.
-snip-
I'm crying with happiness.
I was reading through the OP, thinking "Well wouldn't it be nice if we could get excited and all the pessimistic people just didn't say anything."
Then I scrolled down to see what the judgement was by the type and amount of ratings it got.
I'm happy I can be hopeful for something relating to Valve again.

Yeah, Valve's like that, I guess. The team that handles Steam sales is probably the most "separate" out of all of them, since that's not a (non-web) developer job, and only needs a few artists for a little bit of time.
At long last, all the want-to-believing finally paid off.
Exciting
