    “But that still doesn’t mean you’ll get to play it”

    Well then it doesn’t exist.

    And until I actually am staring at the introduction screens, it’s vaporware.

    Have we gone on long enough to see the endless wheel of “HALF LIFE 3???” once again spin back around? I remember seeing a handful of these a year, every time valve did anything.

    Expect nothing, and you can’t be disappointed.

      Valve is notorious for working on games and then not releasing them. There were several Teamfortress 2 versions which only got leaked and playable in the last few years. Similarly HL 3 was worked on several times since HL2 ep2. But due to the company structure and large scope/expectations for such a HL, first person singleplayer game, every attempt was scrapped at some stage of development.

      I can recommend Tyler McViker and gabe follower for two great Valve-Journalists with many insider connections and both fid thousands of hours datamining the engine. Its probably where the article got its informations.
