HL2 Ep3

Post by silverback »

Does anyone have any real information on this?

Everything you read is nonsense on it, are there any facts out there?

The whole sign language thing seems to be the only accurate thing out there.

I can only play HL2 - ep1 and ep2 so many times!

Nothing official...
I have my own theories. Mainly that we're waiting for Valve's 3rd engine, HL3, TF3, CS3 (if you count CS source as CS2), L4D3 (which may point to it being this time next year), so HL2 episode 3 could be Valve's first showcase for their new engine which I'm sure will be dubbed something3. But who knows...

Gabe Newell said expect it around ~2010. I'm pissed at Valve right now.
"Yes, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Half-Life, let's have a Zombie game"
"Let's not even bother mentioning the fifth anniversary of Half-Life 2, not mention anything other than the fact that we pushed HL2E3 back even more and come out with a sequel to the Zombie game!"

Seriously, when the L4D2 controversy hit, I didn't really give a shit. I mainly thought about "When the hell is Half0Life 2: Episode 3 getting here?" and "When the hell are the achievements for the TF2 soldier class coming?"

It's been over a year and not all of the classes have alternate weapons and achievements! :x

Valve is seriously draining the life out of me in regards to the HL2 story arc. They've never let me down, but sheesh, throw us a bone here.

I'm with you silverback, we need SOMETHING, ANYTHING!!!! GAH!!!

HL2 is the first game to ever actually rope me in with the story and game play, and to have a so-called "episodic" part of the game be wrapped in anonymity drives me bonkers.

I am kind of being impatient over this as well, but what I've learned with everything they've put out in the past, when something is delayed or postponed it is for a good reason and in the end is completely worth the wait.

I do agree that SOME kind of info would be useful. ANYTHING.

Its been a long wait for it to come. I mean theres millions that want to see the next part.

I never liked the first game but HL2, awesome.

Probably my favourite game.

Some info, even if its just to say its not out until 2012 would be fine, at least we would all know when its due etc.

I just finished episode 1 earlier, playing episode 2 trying to get the gnome into space

I think the real question is which will hit first? HL2E3 or D3?

Don't say that!

I have been thinking maybe they have reached the end of it, they just hit the wall with it and none of them can be bothered with it now or something.

I hope its not true.
