Another HL3 taunt by Valve

So a lot of you have probably seen the whole Skyrim workshop paid mods deal.

Look up in the topleft. Lambda Locator, a mod by Jimo which is themed off of Half-Life, is listed and, of course, already purchased and installed, when no other mods listed are.
Classic Valve and their constant teasing without actually saying anything.
Not trying to make conspiracies myself mind you, I just saw this and thought it was amusing. If nothing, it’s unlikely to be accidental.

or maybe they just wanted to give their own IP a shout?

Noooooo, everything marginally HL-related is a HL3 tease.

It would make it so much more funny if it was $3.00

who’s creator of hl2 ep 2 called half-life 2 episode 3?

Every major HL release has been a milestone in FPS gaming, the next one is going to have to be pretty damn innovative to impress today, it would have to include some sort of new way to interact with the characters, maybe oculus style headset, wired gloves, imagine shaking Barney’s hand in the game world xD

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
