Go to that website and search Half Life. As of two days ago Valve filed a patent for Half Life 3. Apparently Valve will confirm shortly. If it's really HL3 I'm gonna cry.

It'd probably be better to view it this way (has to be cached, Reddit broke neogaf), though this is for valve trademarking the name

There's people who don't care about the second coming of jesus.
But they don't hang around in churches if you know what I mean

Skeptical but hopeful. It was hinted that it would be released with their new engine [citation needed] so who knows?

technically a trademark, not a patent, but hopefully this means some news comes out of valve soon.

also iirc in european trademark laws you don't actually have to provide proof of identity unless the trademark is challenged, so this might be a fake

Yes, but if you search half life you can see this is where they also filed hl1 and hl2 in 1997 and 2005 respectively.

whoever filed the trademark put their name as valve software, but that doesn't necessarily mean the hl3 trademark itself was actually filed by valve software.

i suspect it's real, though, since if it was fake valve probably would have come out and said so

No. No, you are not. Because you secretly do care about HL3, and you're just trying to publicly deny it to look cool.

There is literally nobody who doesn't care at all about HL3.

Why would denying your love for HL3 make you look cool?

all this means is is that valve has to provide some active proof of development (trailer, gameplay vids, etc) within the next 2.75 years.

half life 3 confirmed 2016.

clearly you got me. i hate single player games and overhyped things, and HL3 is precisely those two things. anyway, not caring about HL3 doesnt make me cool like smoking cigarettes does.

Yes. See how your blue name disappeared? Start playing or you will be in open soon, then degenerate into a drooling, decaying zombie.

It's along the same line as not hitting puberty...
At least, that's what my friends said, when I told them I hadn't played either.

But... TFC and CS were both mods of HL1

Also both HL1 and HL2 are on my list of games that everyone should be required to play.
