    I’m sad that valve has so far shelved plans for Halflife 3.

    They might revive it, but I think they even stopped working on the new Source Engine.

      By new Source Engine, are talking about Source 2? It already powers Dota 2, Half-Life Alyx and the upcoming Counter Strike 2.

        I believe it was actually Source 3. I remember news from a few years back that Valve had stopped work on it.

        I believe it was early in development at the time.

        I’m not even finished Alyx, I started again when I got my new build done and I went from an 8/10-10/10 and I haven’t even finished it yet. I played HL2VR mod immediately prior and it has completely changed the way I view the whole series.

          Yeah it took me literally years to complete it and then suddenly got on a roll and finished it in one week. On completion I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner. It was a fantastic journey.

            It’s given me a huge perspective shift on why the 7-hour war was only 7-hours.

            The combine in their prime before Dr Freeman’s crowbar entered the scene, is a terrifying machination.

            My appreciation for Alyx Vance has also skyrocketed, badass woman, through and through.

      I thought they officially announced Half-Life 3 was dead a few years ago. They released the game’s script online so fans could get some sort of conclusion.

        Valve didn’t release it, just en ex-employee though, right?

        And it wasn’t the script, just what that employee planned it to be.
