A t-shirt adorned with the iconic Half-Life logo and the number '3' has been spotted out in the wild. Approach with caution, trolls operate here.
"All I'm saying is I saw this at a local game developer event worn by a Valve employee"
Ekanayak used the hastag '#ValveTrolling', rightly pointing out this could be Valve fanning the flames of desire with some good old trolling.
Earlier this year voice actress Ellen McLain, who is the voice of Portal's GlaDOS, was linked with Half-Life 3 by her husband, who voices Team Fortress 2's Sniper.
A beta tester also leaked Valve's Dota 2 beta client, which was found to contain a folder called 'ep3' and resources for new weapons.

I think i would literally combust when they announced a new HL tho
moogiesboy on 2 Dec '11 said:
Great and all. But really hoping new consoles arrive b4 half life 3. ps3 and 360 wouldn't do hl3 justice.

My stomach is currently twisting and turning like a shool child pretending to be an aeroplane in an airing cupboard. I hope this is an indication of some news to come, but I really know that this means nothing and is basically Valve teasing us but with no hint of boob.

Valve, if ye be trolling, I be hating.
Will so buy that t-shirt when the game is released. I believe this too much.
PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE!

You're right but that's while you'll be playing it on PC.

"Platform agnosticism" was a LIE!

Even if Valve officially announce HL3/EP3 and it released, I bet when you open that case it'll be a copy of HL1 sat in there with a trollface on the other side of the lid. If you download it from Steam you'll get 99.9% of the download complete and it'll fail. How ye mock us Gabe.

Sorry that logo is wrong and obviously trolling as the lambda is supposed to be in the middle and the number in the corner part. Clever though.

The planet Xen will be discovered before Half Life 3 is offically announced.2 x Half Life games (notwithstanding expansions) have been released in 15 years.Don't get your hopes up.
plodalong28 on 2 Dec '11 said:
I really wish it was the real thing but the design is too much like HL2 logo and looks all amature and fake. But please Valve just make the game and don't make it for the consoles and bring PC gaming back and a reason for me to build a new rig.
The_KFD_Case on 3 Dec '11 said:
Nicely spotted - well done!
This now seems to be a case of "trolling confirmed." Oh well, maybe next year....
The_KFD_Case on 3 Dec '11 said:
There are plenty of reasons to do that, if one is so inclined. To start with I'll "utter" one word/title: Skyrim. (Mod tools will be released next month and that will only be on the PC.)

To be honest I'm way past caring.
Welsh Jester on 5 Dec '11 said:
Half Life 3, awesome. No doubt this game will be majory watered down for consoles like HL2 was for xbox.. a lot i believe, like doom 3 was.
Can't wait to see how much the source engine has improved and if it doesn't run well on my 5870 then time for an upgrade!, hope it has better A.I and a HL3 DM/L4D3 follows.
Truely the only games i look forward to now are Valve titles, awesome non overrated games.

I really don't wanna sound like a hater or anything, but....I'm getting real tired of all these "teasers/fake teasers". Why don't you actually say something about the damn game already. I'm starting to not like it before I even know if it's real or not.
