They're still putting out stuff for L4D 1, and they supported CZ long after CSS came out.Monshroud said:
Gabe Newell: Three "Big Announcements" From Valve in Next Year
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
As much as I don't want to have it released so soon, I wouldn't be opposed to L4D3. But, honestly, I'd rather have them just release it as an expansion or something to the first game. Why make a whole new game when it is essentially the same as the first two with just a couple new gameplay elements?
Don't care about Episode 3 (if that's the case) because I have yet to play the games before that... I just haven't had a good chance to buy them yet. Working on it.
As for a third thing... Um... don't know. TF3 would make sense if you think about it. Portal Sequel. HLSequel (possibly). All were in the orange box. So... yeah.

Oh, shut up Gabe!
"Oh yeah, it might really be Episode 3 this time."
I'm not falling for it anymore Valve.

I bet it's gonna be the Meet the Medic video, the Meet the Pyro video, and that TF2 will be getting some lovely new hats.
Probably the DotA project. As long as it isn't another Left For Dead game. Those games are so horribly awful!
Almost definately this. Although I'm guessing #2 would be filled in with Counterstrike 2.Covarr said:
1.) Meet the Medic
2.) Meet the Pyro
3.) Gabe going on a diet for charity
I hope that one of those is actually Episode 3, but lets be serious here. The chances of that happening are close to nil.

Prepare yourself for a hot dollop of SalamanderJoe theory!!
1: A new Counter-Strike for all platforms, including a deep single player campaign
2: A major expansion or sequel to Team Fortress 2, for all platforms
3: And Obviously, Half-Life 3, including Half-Life 2 Episode 3 on a 2nd disc as a prologue chapter
Bonus: No Left 4 Dead 3 until 2012 though, but expansions for the other two will still come
Of course this is all theory mixed in with a nice slab of personal desire, but seeing Valve listen to their fans, any new entry in the Valve catalogue of awesome games is a possibility.

I'll laugh so hard if Gabe announces: "As for HL2Ep3, we just released it....like right now, surprise! =D"
It would be great, people would spend the rest of the day with their jaw fully dropped

3 announcements over the next 12 months? Ok... so put that in Valve time, it means we will get the announcements in the next three years.John Funk said:
If were lucky.
I was thinking about that a couple days ago. I genuinely expect that to be Episode 3's announcement.neurohazzard said:
At something like E3 2016. "We'd like to announce that Half-Life 2: Episode 3 is being released... NOW! BUY IT!" *convention clears out*
My guess:
-Half Life 3.
It's been way too long for Valve to be working on a 5 hour game, Half Life 3 makes a hell of a lot more sense. Plus Half Life 2 and it's episodes were startinh to feel a little old, not bad by any means just not at innovite as they were, especially since they've spent the last decade being ripped off. It need's a new weapon set, a new enviroment, a few new enemies, a coat of paint to the graphics and something as game changing as the gravity gun. Anf for that you need a full blown sequel.
-Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 for the PS3.
Now that Valve has a dedicated PS3 team it makes a lot of sense to do, especially with Steamworks on PS3. Who knows, they may even sell the two in one package.
-A completely new IP.
This is what I want to see the most. I'm tired of sequels. This may even be Valves first step out of the FPS realm, they've already scated around interesting game types with Portal 1 and 2.
-Half Life 3.
