Valve just accidentally pushed a file named hl3.txt to Dota 2 Reborn that seems to be pretty damn interesting. https://github.com/SteamDatabase/Ga...38595/373301/game/core/tools/help/fgd/hl3.txt …

been skimming it

@SteamDB It's not interesting just because it's named "hl3.txt". It's interesting because it suggests procedural generation. And ziplines.

also has NPC, Squad, VR movement, FOV

Two more interesting files, rpg.txt and ai_basenpc.txt.

That's three interesting files, for those of you counting at home! You know what that means.

Sounds like it's gonna be a co-op game with NPCs in SP that'll take their place ala L4D?

Yeah I heard they were a developer once of an ancient game which the old used to call Half Life.

My crystal ball tells me that people will be infinitely more disappointed with what this game turns out to be than Phantom Pain.

struct cancelled {

string let;
string it;
string go;

}
this.leak();

Keep hoping people, but I wouldn't hold my breath. They could make a prototype and cancel, many times as it takes.

I can only imagine one of their programmers made something that seemed legit-enough and either sneaked it in there or told everyone, had them nod their heads and chuckle, and put it in.

I mean, it COULD be genuine, but until it's proven real, I'll say no. I'm prepared to eat all the crow in the world.

People realize Valve has done such things in the past right?

They know people look for stuff like this.

It's their fun.
