Recent twitter updates have left fans speculating that Valve is preparing their community for a massive announcement and posts by IGN that seems to tie in to this are possibly hinting at an update on the Half Life series.

Earlier today IGN tweeted a famous line straight out of G-MAN intro from Half Life 2, "Wake up and smell the ashes".

Could this be the year for the massive announcement ?

Lets see if any update comes in support of this guess.........

Here is another tease , a Valve employee handbook had a page that caught fire on internet.

Valve, either trolling us big time are going for a big announcement. Lets see, probably at E3.

I don't think its HL3.

Rather HL2:EP3. Concept art been doing the rounds for sometime now.

Nope. I read many reports saying that there will be no more games of Half Life title with episode in its name. Google for more :wink:

obviously they will release the next installment of the HL series this year.

Who knows? HL3 might come bundled with CS:GO?
HL2 would always be bundled with cs 1.6

thanks a lot Kola for the news. So my wait finally ends :razz:

who cares? we just need a new HL game.

CS GO outs this summer. HL2:EP3/HL3 will take another year. you know valve time.

another HL game is on the way. remake of the original.

Haha that might be a rumor because according to a source in the game development industry and no you will not find this news on the internet. Valve is currently in development of the HL3 engine and it is being optimised for consoles , so HL3 will be probably out the same times as ps4...

That one's effectively vaporware. No news/updates on its development, even the Twitter channel is never updated.

HL3 could be in development, but there will be a lot of time before its release. HL2:EP3 is closest thing that could come out.

HL3 is in development since HL2EP2 was released. heard now valve will focus on multiplayer on all their games. So that means HL3 or HL2EP3 will feature multiplayer? Gordon vs Alyx !!!

They already have an overload of multiplayer games, why add more? There's even a HL2 Deathmatch.

I just care about SP of this game. That should be real nice with a lot of physics.

No Source2, no Half Life 2!
Valve needs to blow everything away just the way they did with Source/Half life 2 :D

Yeah wtf?! If it should, then it better be the other way around, CS with Half Life not HL with CS.

yes, hl with cs, since both the games are on same engine, so they have most of the files in common. like when you download cs on steam, most of the hl download is already done and similarl case with hl2 and css.

so theserpent speculates that cs:go and hl3 could be released at a time.

Nah that won't happen, why would Valve want to release their flagship title without any hype? lol, very stupid assumption.
