Valve is almost like the God of PC gaming. It’s as if like can do no wrong with releases like Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Counter-Strike: Source. As such, it came as quite a surprise when Valve canceled their Portal 2 event at E3, promising a “surprise” instead. Speculation as to what this surprise may be has spread like wildfire.
According to an unnamed source over at VG247, we may end up getting our first look at the new Source Engine 2 at this year’s E3. This also means that, judging by Valve’s past track-record, the new code will be showcased through the use of Half-Life, namely Half-Life 3. When GoldSource was unveiled, Half-Life was on display, and more recently, while showing off the Source engine, Half-Life 2 was used.
The internet has been abuzz with speculation concerning images supposedly taken from an E3 pamphlet that hint at a Half-Life-centic surprise. Gabe Newell himself debunked these rumors though, claiming that the surprise will not be Episode 3 and that the pamphlet images were indeed fake.
While this news may sadden some fans of the series, Gabe makes no mention of Half-Life 3, meaning that there’s still hope for an announcement.
I for one would have loved to hear something, anything, about Half-Life: Episode 3, but I guess you can’t win them all.
Though, a Half-Life 3 announcement would still be enough to send me into fits of nerdy joy. Some of my earliest PC gaming memories stem from the hours upon hours I put into the original Half-Life. Then came Half-Life 2, which blew me away with it’s ability to draw the gamer into the world that it created. I’d personally love to see some sort of new innovation in the weapons department for the third installment. With the gravity gun being such an iconic weapon in the gaming industry, I’m really interested in seeing how Valve plans to top that.
Whatever it is that they decide to show as their surprise, I have faith that Valve will deliver the goods. They always seem to come through for their loyal fan-base. I guess we’ll just have to wait until E3 to find out for sure though.
What would you like to see Valve announce at E3? At this point, do you think that Episode 3 is ever going to even happen or that Valve will dive into Half-Life 3?

The headline is HL3, but Gordan freeman is not in the poll for best game character?
LMAO, yah, Gordon Freeman won gamespot's video game hero of all time tournament less than a year ago, but gamerant didn't think he deserved to be on their poll at all, lol. I've been waiting for an opportunity to point that out for like the entire time this poll has been out. But he's mainly a PC game hero, and the site doesn't exactly prioritize PC very highly if you know what I mean…
I really hope there's something on Half Life in E3, anything. Because seriously, almost every other shooter in the last few years have been shallow run and gun, unnecessarily gory, extremely gimmicky games aimed at the ADHD console market where they have to pamper the player with hints, retarded achievements, health that magically comes back just by “resting,” and other stupid crap. Even most PC games have just been lazy ports of their crappy dumbed down console games… I can't wait to play a true PC game that's deep, challenging, and makes good use of the keyboard and mouse. I hope the portal gun is in Episode 3 or Half Life 3…
I have faith in Valve. A HL3 announcement would probably give me uncontrollable, joyful seizures. But really, everything that Valve has done is proven to be amazing, I'm just stoked to see it.
Well, we wanted the poll to be fair for the rest of the guys, you know? heheh
