Half-Life 3 confirmed?
I think the 6 is there to be a pun of Left 4 Dead’s title. Left 4 Dead is a coop game with 4 players (obviously), and now Team Fortress has a coop mode with 6 players. Hence Team F6rtress.
Edit: If you check back to that blog post, it appears they finally changed the URL back to it’s normal spelling…
So, I just went to https://www.gamescom-cologne.com/en/gamescom/presse/neuheiten_4/index.php and opened the pdf. Valve wasn’t on it. Did it change, or am I missing something?
Oh rofl, they’re saying it was a mistake. Rofl.
This thread repeated itself like 3 fucking times.
Guys, READ.
So to summarize we have three things.
-
Gamescom listing Half-Life 3 on there show-list before being taken down as a mistake.
-
A Half-Life 3 logo shown on a video demonstrating a keyboard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AbwJON7ECk -
A link to a fake steam community page showing someone playing Half life 3.
https://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:KATANAGOD/Half-Life_3_@_Gamescon%3F -
A tweet from the person who made the fake steam page saying “Hey, 1273550, Monday”.
In which the number corresponds to an AppID to the steam store.
Is it just coincidence? Troll prank?
Da Fuq if I know : /
@Evod: Yeah, that’s about it. But, I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you…I would be very surprised if this turned out to be real. I was somewhat hopeful until I saw the disclaimer on that steam account page…
Late 2011 and into early 2012 there was a huge string of trolling on HL3 like what just happened. It seems to happen in bursts, then fades away until the next major off-school break. Now that bursts like these can be expected, it will be even harder to “predict” when Half-Life 3 may even be announced.
Right now I’d say that the Steam profile thing’s unrelated. The L4D blog’s had the URL changed back to “teamfortress”, there’s the disclaimer on the profile itself, and the HL3 logo is based off of a Lambda tool texture from HL1. As is my understanding, 1273550 is a valid Steam AppID, it’s just unassigned.
Putting that aside, I wonder if something is actually going to happen at GamesCom, to be honest - Out of boredom, I went and checked, and the logo in the keyboard video is indeed an HL3 logo:
I still doubt it, but… Meh.
company that has nothing to do with valve makes a joke – suddenly official info about impending release
you know? I can’t believe that valve knows perfectly fine that we all want Half life 3 and nothing else, they know perfectly fine that it doesn’t if they release 10000000 games, we still will want Half life 3 and they know perfectly fine that it doesn’t matter if those 10000000 games are fucking good in graphics, history and gameplay, we will still want Half life 3 so why in gods name they don’t release it already?!
Because they feel Ricochet 2 needs to be made just to mess with all of our heads? Honestly though, I do hope that this increase in Half-Life rumors does turn into something even though it probably won’t.
Yawn. Who really believed that HL3 would be there? Seriously? You’d be less stupid if you still believed in the tooth fairy.
If Valve is going to announce it, they will do it in their own special way and not have it leaked on some German version of the E3.
We can all complain and hope it comes out soon, but when it finally does it will melt our brains with awesome, just like HL2 did, i still need to do Episode 2… clearly there is no rush.
It is not the first time german faggots are nearly suck cocks for attention.
wort
The Germans turned into sucked cocks before?
I wish I was a sucked cock 
I’m going to bet the one dollar I have to my name that all of this is a build-up to Ricochet 2.
The first period on black-aperture.com is composed of blurred numbers. Looks like 8 and 6 looking like they are moving away from each other. The “/” represents a separation between a month and year or month and day.
Ugh, it’s all trolling anyways.
