YOU FOOLS! DO YOU NOT SEE!? HALF LIFE THREE, PORTAL THREE, LEFT 4 DEAD THREE! IT IS A THREE BANANZA! WHICH CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING. THEY SHALL RELEASE IT ON MARCH THIRD, THREE-THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED... Wait for it... AND THREE!! THE PLAN OF THREES, THE TRI-FORCE! THE THREE AMIGOS. THE THREE MUSKETEERS. IT IS ALL LEADING UP TO THIS.
THE ULTIMATE THREE DOWN!

Or it really does not mean anything, and over exuberant exageration is fun! But hey, either way it is fun buisness!

Watching all this hype brings a quote from Terry Pratchett to mind:

Look at Om, now. One minute he was a bloodthirsty little deity in some mad hot country, and then suddenly he was one of the top gods. It had all been done by not answering prayers, but doing so in a sort of dynamic way that left open the possibility that one day he might and then there?d be fireworks. (The Last Hero)

I really hope Valve releases HL3 before HL2's 10 year anniversary, otherwise HL3 will become like Duke Nukem Forever and in the next game we'll see Dr. Freeman going to a Combine strip club.

Here's my question, what IS valve working on? Are they even working on HL3 or whatever the next installment will be? If not then what are they doing? Besides rolling in mountains of cash I mean :3

You know, this should really be called something like 'Quake says stuff about Half Life 3' rather than 'Valve: There is no Half Life 3.' It would be more honest then, rather than desperately attention grubbing.

Those "clues" are weak sauce, whoever thought they were genuinely hints at at new HL game is an idiot.

I mean "5+7=12 and the dates of the next E3 are 6/5/12 and 6/7/12" WTF?! That's retarded!
It's National Treasure logic!

Oh course there is no Half-Life 3.

But there will be a Half-Life 2: Episode 3
Five-plus years to make a five hour game campaign ending lol

As some people I know about have pointed out...who needs HL3? What we want is *Episode* 3, which is not the same thing...and which nothing at *all* one way or another was said about.
Look, firstly, why episode 3? Just because they make a new game doesn't mean that it wont continue the storyline.

Secondly, if they make a new game, chances are they are using a newer version, if not a completely new version of the source engine. Episodic games in the series run on basically the same engine and chances are they use the same features, weapons, mechanics etc.
A new game is designed to breed new life into the series in a different way to episodics and will almost always add more weapons, npc's etc.

Which do you want? An episodic that may take less time but will be changing the game less (and, honestly I want new ideas for the series, like maybe bringing back the combine assassins, or new environments we haven't seen in HL before), or a new game designed to improve the already great gameplay. Take your pick.

Episode =! Five Hour Game. Jeez, how many times do you people need to be reminded of this? The name of the game is meaningless to the product itself.

To be honest, though, if they ever make the damned thing, I hope they make it a full game and name it "Episode Three". You know why? Because they should save "Half-Life 3" for an entirely different game with an entirely different storyline and call it Episode Three just to keep everything in context. See what I mean?

But even then, if they decide call it Half-Life 3, it'll still be okay with me because, firstly, it's just a name and, lastly and most importantly, the series no longer means shit to me after this long and I refuse to buy it.

... Although, just because of the "VALVe can't count to three jokes, I hope they decide to name it Half-Life 4. And the video presentation of the game would have a Gaben Trollface overlay. Admit it, that would be classic! XD

A lot of people seem to be wondering what Valve has been doing all this time while episode 3 was supposed to be in the making. Isn't it obvious? It's hats. They've been working on hats. DUUUUUHH!

Already has. I stopped caring after HL2 EP2 came out. Valve is making so much money with TF2 and Steam, that people need to realize that we'll probably never see another Half life game ever again. Want half life 3? Mod it! Make it yourself! We do have Gmod and the ability to make our own levels! Why hasn't someone made a fan-made HL3 mod yet?
Someone has made a fan made HL3 mod yet , because no one cares.
Who really wants Half-Life 3 anymore? Duke Nukem sucked , was horrible.
HL3 might come out in my life-time , but who cares, too many good games to play

Have anyone read their steam coupon?

25% off any one title on Steam listed with Valve as the publisher.
Excludes titles released after January 2nd, 2012.
(Valid January 2nd, 2012 through March 1st, 2012)

Half Life 3 is probably out before March 1st.

What buildup? All the hype has been purely from the fans. I honestly think Valve are just sitting there waiting to see how long the community will go on trolling their selves before everyone either stops caring or dies of old age.
Knowing Valve fanboys, it be the latter, old age...

As for me, yes stop prasing valve and everything they do, I bet they would rape childhoods and still be called heros... no offense.
