Super totally legit news on Half Life 3!1one1!!1

[Masterlegodude]

A source close to Valve (aren't they all?) claims that Half-Life 3 is on its way to launch in 2013. Due to a number of features being revised, the development schedule has been described as "very chaotic". The source also claims that while the title was originally a straight FPS, it was scrapped for something that is more about puzzles and exploration.

Not only that, but the game world itself will be “open-world" complete with "quests and NPCs”. While working several RPG elements into the mix, the game will not be episodic, but is in fact the true sequel in the trilogy. Sounds pretty far fetched, especially that open-world part, but it would at least explain the delay between Episode 2 and now. Still kind of crazy though.... What do you g1s think?

Gordon, be a pal and kill 350 Headcrab Zombies in return for a suit battery, will ya?
Gordon, i need you to kill 8 Barnacles with a single explosive barrel for my amusement
Sorry Gordon, you need at least 75 suit power to proceed to this area
I'm not letting you pass until you've obtained an SMG, Revolver, and Crossbow

Funny thing is Source doesn't handle large maps very well. People should know their crap before trying to fake something.

Ew no.

Lol, RPG?  forget no.  That's suicidal for Valve to just go into after being predominantly FPS.

source engine 2

Yeah, we know it may be in development - and it's possible that Half-Life 3 could be their first game on the new engine, but we're still not 100% sure. We also have no idea what would be changed in Source 2. And where the story is now, an RPG just wouldn't work.

HL3 RPG = Gabe Newells pranking us on April 1st 2013
Hl3 RPG = Suicidal for Valve.

>original plan was straight up fps
>new plan is rpg
lolwtf did they forget what kinda game series they were working on?

[Marcem]

if this is true, here we go again...  People see Valve game be original: "forget VAVLE, THEY CHANGE GAME", people play said game: "Oh hey, this is great!"  Also, I doubt that if this is true it's going to be more RPG than FPS.  I would think it would be more like RAGE.

It is a cover up for the official Opposing Force 2, Blue Shift 2, and Decay 2.
