I predict it will never exist

It is the ultimate carrot on a stick for some people.

valve burned them muney on deadlog and cs2 , no more money bro ,

Valve can only count to 2 so we'll never see it

Only what I've read from the internal testing "leaks", which I take with a massive grain of salt.

Valve are known to have nonexistent communication with community.

well people got excited when some kind of leaks happened, then we got Half Life Alyx and Deadlock in the last couple years.

There might be Half Life 3 in the works, but with Valve, i wouldn't get my hopes up, until Half Life 3 has been released

[Insert some wild-ass speculation going several orders of magnitude over anything believable.]

Coming from a brand new account that hasn't spent any money yet, I smell badge spam.

Thank you for saying what needed to be said! I always use this as the biggest proof of why it will never be made.

- Half-Life 2
- Team Fortress 2
- DOTA 2
- CS 2
- PORTAL 2
- LEFT 4 DEAD 2

All stuck on two.. It''s actually insane, lol.

Having been here on the platform for over 20 years, It's never going to happen, That ship set sail long ago. It's now a long forgotten past. They promised an Episodic Storyline for Half life 2, Then they suddenly stopped because they had a bigger criminal enterprise to run. Steam Platform.

Then how do we have SteamOS 3?

does anyone have predictions on half-life 3?

Yeah, it's gonna have a "Cosmic" vibe.

A lovely mix of Sci-fi, Lovecraftian and RPG goodness. Graphics look amazing but it isn't running on UC5 (unreal crap 5 aka unreal engine 5) since that has too many issues and I don't want my Steam fam to be dealing with issues/problems while trying to enjoy this lovely epic gem.

2027 release, only cause Portal 3 and Left 4 Dead 3 is also being worked on. Craziness is about to happen but patience is needed to experience this wondrous tale of gaming madness.

I used to think it would involve time-travel pretty heavily because how else you gonna top HL2's physics breakthroughs?

I dreamed up like 40% of a Half-Life game, big set pieces and everything, and my thing was you'd cross paths with Freeman and part of your task from your handler (who wouldn't be G-Man but one like him), would be you would do things to facilitate Freeman's actions as seen in Half-Life 2. But in a weird twist of events, you would fail, and Freeman would end up opening paths for you to complete your actions in assisting his, with his own from HL2, leading to a strange chicken-and-egg scenario and a set piece where you get saved by the Freeman. I'd look for a moment from HL2 where I could make you a bit player that was just a background npc to Freeman at the time if I could spin it that way.

So yeah, pretty it's time travel. Or if not that, strange fourth-wall breaking meta layers.
