I'm sure this has been posted in the thread already, but hell no on trying to find it. Half Life 2 launched Steam. It's not unlikely Half Life 3 will launch the Steam box.
That would be so evilHL3
SteamOS exclusive
Launch title
This is what I would like to see:
Instead of upping the scale and size of the setting, how about a return to a smaller, more intimate -- but also more fully realized -- setting? Somewhere that feels like a real place. Somewhere like Black Mesa.
It would be a nice contrast to Half-Life 2, which took us across City 17, countryside highways, antlion subterranean tunnels, and forests.
It would be great for them to take advantage of Adam Foster's talent for creating believable and focused level designs. In his mod Minerva, you start off on the beach of an island and gradually work your way underground into a Combine-ized WW2 bunker. And it all feels very logical.
I want to see an open world Half-Life 3 where Freeman liberates the earth from the Combine piece by piece.
HL3 bundled with SteamOS download, right?
I'd rather combust in the heat of a thousand exploding suns.Maybe we'd be better off not knowing, Half-Life 3 sitting forever in limbo, us never exposed to the horror it may have become, comforted by dreams and fantasies of what can never be.
It really depends on the setting. The Borealis might offer what Minerva did, but the road to it and the potential Combine Overworld? Not sure.
Hell naw to openworld Half-Life. There was already that rumor it would go openworld RPGish with NPCs and quests. I don't want that from a Half-Life.
So that Casalonga guys did indeed register the trademark for Valve but it is a scam? Can't compute...
Casalonga confirms that they did **INSERT NOT DO HERE** the registration of Half-Life 3, it's a scam
That would be so evil

(lol...everyone is thinking it)

well done...
btw, as a console only gamer, I"ve never played Half-life 1 or 2. In fact, I don't like that many shooter in general as I love good stories, and they tend not to be the focus of shooters.
I know it was GOTY or whatever when I was in highschool, but do those games hold up today well?

People seem far too locked into the concepts that the console market has "taught" them. Consoles need "killer exclusives" at launch, otherwise they're "dead in the water".Why would they do that? Selling HL3 on computers only doesn't do anything to promote Steam because anyone who games on PC will buy it on Steam preferentially already and anyone who doesn't is probably a console-only gamer whose only exposure to Valve games is via consoles. This isn't the kind of exclusive that provides serious strategic leverage; it'd just be throwing away money.
Did you even look at the OP?Does no one know the first thing about trademark law? You don't need to trademark sequels. If Valve already owns the Half-Life mark, they do not need to trademark Half-Life 2 or Half-Life 3. Clearly a fake.
Played Half-Life 2, truth be told I don't see why it is as great and hyped as people say.
Don't get me wrong it was a good game, but there are better FPSs out there.
In 2004, you'd be hard pressed to find a better FPS.Played Half-Life 2, truth be told I don't see why it is as great and hyped as people say.

This. It annoys me seeing people who are playing this game for the first time, nearly ten years after its release, call it overrated.In 2004, you'd be hard pressed to find a better FPS.

Yikes.I consider Halo 2 and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay to be leagues better than Half Life 2

When the best most FPS games can do is simply follow its template. All these "modern" games they play exist solely in HL2's shadow.

On what basis, the google-translated article? Marc Laidlaw withheld comment when asked, which is pretty telling given he has never been shy about calling out fakes in the past.Sure I did. Valve wouldn't file a trademark for a mark they already own. This was filed by a third party in their name as a hoax to stir up the fans.
HL2 doesn't hold up as well, I believe, due to how some sections are stretched out.
EP2 holds up much better and is the best example of perfect pacing in a Half-Life game.

Retail defeats the point of what Valve wants out of these Steam Boxes. I would assume that these machines wont even come with optical drives.well done...
