If you were Valve, how would you announce and release HL2:ep3?

Half-Life Series
#61

I would make a new orange box that would include:
1.Ep.3
2.Black Mesa Source (which will be an retail mod)
3.Operation Black Mesa (again retail mod)
4.Gaurd duty (AGAIN retail mod)
5.Hazard team (remake of HL: Decay) + (retail mod)
6.Minerva (retail mod)

So it would really be an orange box with episode 3, Minerva, and recreations of the origonal games.

Black Mesa is not going to be “an retail mod.”

#63

I know but Counter strike wasn’t either unti valve bought it from the modders that made it

#64

I’ll just buy ep3 and download the rest of the mods from the mods website kthx :awesome:

#65

Yeah but I am lazy, that way I don’t have to even go to websites to get it.

#66

Fixed.

#67

I bet we will all download BMS only to find out Ep3 was outsourced and made by Raminator. And that there is no BMS. Would be so awesome.

#68

I would freeze it in the arctic and wait.

#69

Release it with your own mini Gordon Figurine

#70

I would release it for purchase and download over Steam, as well as package discs and send them to retail stores for purchase.

#71

I would release Ep3 by attaching little robot wings to the discs, putting them all in giant nets around the world, and literally release it for people to catch.

#72

1st: I would tell everyone that I am releasing HL2: Opposing force 2 in a week.

2nd: Tell everyone that there is a HL logo somewhere outside with HL2 Episode 3 release date on it.

3rd: While everyone was looking outside I would demo the inside of the building.

4th: I would Leave quietly.

5th: When everyone got Opposing Force 2 and started the first level they would have to run from shit monsters at the end they would be a pole dancing Duke Nukem. After that it would suddenly become hl2 Episode 3.

Special edition that comes with Crowbar replica that looks fucking amazing in the pictures but just ends up being some cheap flimsy plastic POS. (Deadspace2)

#74

Ow my mental image

#75

What an amazing idea! :stuck_out_tongue:

#76

I’d release it and make it only be accessed in two places: Bulgaria and SPACE![/SIZE]

It would be full of bugs that would be fixed one by one each week. So that it would be impossible to pirate it! evil laugh

#77

At the Playstation conference at E3 of course.

#78

I would hide it in the story line of Portal 2 somehow.

#79

You know, that would actually kinda suck. I’m way more excited about Black Mesa than Episode 3.

#80

So you’d rather replay a better looking Hl1 than find out how HL continues?

They should let you beta test the game. You are THE fan.

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.
