I was looking to see if this was a thread started on April 1st but nope...... Although, without an official statement, I would say it is nothing but rumor and hope.

Guess we'll just have to make do with silence......I don't know how they'll continue the story since the voice actor for Gordon Freeman recently passed away. His voice acting was iconic!
I still haven't finished HL2. I just didn't "get into it" like I did HL1. HL1 captivated me, esp Opposing Force.With many, the time period made the previous need for closure totally forgotten
HL1 was ground breaking at the time. It brought story and interesting story telling techniques when most games were just doom and quake clones. It's AI was also ground breaking at the time, even if it is basic by modern standards. HL2 was more iterative than ground breaking as it mostly expanded on the stuff that HL1 pioneered. Not sure how loved HL1 would be for someone trying it for the first time today, but if one played it back in the 90's or early 2000's then it really felt like a special experience. When HL2 came out it was ahead of the rest on quite a few aspects, but it wasn't as unique as HL1 was for it's time.I still haven't finished HL2. I just didn't "get into it" like I did HL1.

This is such a wonderful burn.I heard that they gave the game a typical 'strong independent' black, female sidekick with short hair. Fucking woke culture won't stop till it ruins everything.
Confirmed!!! LolGuys, guys, HL3 confirmed! (See my voice code)

The weakness of the HL games is the feel of the weapons IMO. They just don't feel as satisfying to use as something like F.E.A.R., CoD, Quake, Doom etc. They do the interaction with other people, physics puzzles and the feeling of being on a journey very well though.
Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame... It's pretty pathetic.IMO, the widespread leaking nowadays, sucks.
To be fair, Star Wars was destroyed before HL2 came out.After Star Wars was destroyed, we really need HL3 more then ever.

Make the game $60 and a native port to Linux with no micro-transactions.
Half-Life 3 Is Reportedly Playable In Its Entirety

The big difference is that those games all got stuck in development hell. HL3 probably wasn’t being developed for most of the past 21 years, it was just anticipated by fans. When it did finally get greenlighted for serious development, it could have had a tight and focused schedule for all we know. Under Valve’s flat management structure, being given the go-ahead means that the people spearheading the effort had to convince enough of the other developers that it was the right project at the right time to gather a big enough team.Duke Nukem Forever, Chinese Democracy, MBV, and even Megalopolis eventually all came out. The catch is that most projects delayed this long had major reasons for it and the final results weren't good. Hopefully HL3 is the exception.
Steam OS exclusive. Just like HL2 was tied to getting everyone in the door for steam.Make the game $60 and a native port to Linux with no micro-transactions.

Until, once again, Xen.Yes, and it was very good.
But does she have tits that equal those as seen in anime?I heard that they gave the game a typical 'strong independent' black, female sidekick with short hair. Fucking woke culture won't stop till it ruins everything.
If not, Russel Crowe does.But does she have tits that equal those as seen in anime?
What do you mean nowadays? This was always a problem! Doom 3 tech demos got leaked and HL2 had a really bad hack/leak. That's just two examples.IMO, the widespread leaking nowadays, sucks.
How could people not play HL2? heresy!
I don't care if HL3 isn't as good as 2. I just want some fucking closure.
Back then was a magical moment in hardware and gaming. It was all consuming.I feel both sorrow and envy for these people. Getting to experience it for the first time again. An experience like no other.
I don't mean leaked builds.What do you mean nowadays? This was always a problem! Doom 3 tech demos got leaked and HL2 had a really bad hack/leak. That's just two examples.
If you were to say it's more publicized now I could agree with that.
Since that segment, I have absolutely hated vehicles inserted into FPS games.HL2's buggy is one of the worst feeling vehicles in gaming.
Vehicles are pretty good in battlefield 2, 3, and 4.
I disagree, there were good flight models like falcon 4.0 prior to that if memory isn't faulty rn. I don't remember any wheeled vehicles from hl2 but I do remember the airboat and it not handling like airboats handle.Vehicles are also great in Halo and the Unreal Tournament games that had them.
When Half-Life 2 was in development vehicles were still being figured out. Valve clearly didn't figure it out.
I still haven't finished HL2. I just didn't "get into it" like I did HL1. HL1 captivated me, esp Opposing Force.
Yeah, AI is at least advanced enough to cover Gordon's VO no prob...AI can now effectively generate any voice. So Gordon Freeman or GMan voice should not be a problem. Story could take place anytime and not be a conclusion to the old. Just add more mystery for HL4 if successful.
