Half Life 3 confirmed from the creator of Counter Strike - The Antagonist - 05-23-2014
"I did see some concept art for Half-Life 3" says Counter-Strike co-creator. Left 4 Dead 3 "looks great"
Counter-Strike creator Minh Le has been talking to goRNGtv about Valve's most anticipated projects. He's seen artwork of Valve's next Half-Life game, and more of Left 4 Dead 3, which has been rumoured since the Valve database leak late last year.
"I don't know if I can talk about that, to be honest," says Minh of the new Half-Life, "but I think it's kind of public knowledge that people know that it is being worked on. And so if I were to say that yeah, I've seen some images, like some concept art of it, that wouldn't be big news, to be honest." Sorry Minh.
"But yeah, I guess I could say that I did see something that looked kinda like in the Half-Life universe. It wouldn't surprise anyone if I said they're doing it, they're working on it, yeah. So to go on a limb I'd say I did see some concept art for Half-Life 3."
Minh doesn't sound entirely sure, there. The artwork could have been for Half-Life 2: Episode 3, which Valve promised a long, long time ago. Everyone assumes that Valve have dropped the episodic structure to start a full sequel, but Valve have never commented on those specifics. Gabe Newell has repeatedly confirmed that Valve are still working on Half-Life, though, sometimes in code.
Valve haven't talked officially about Left 4 Dead 3, however. "The one thing I'm really excited about is Left 4 Dead, the new Left 4 Dead," says Minh Le. "I saw it, it looks great. I was really excited when I saw that. I was like 'wow, this looks great'.
"I really enjoyed Left 4 Dead, it was just one of those games that really just changed the industry. I think at the time there wasn't many good co-op games, so it was like yeah, this is a great co-op game."
Mihn Le left Valve years ago, so it's not clear when he saw the work he's talking about in this interview, recorded last week. He was hired by Valve to work on Counter-Strike, but he left in the late 2000s to work on Tactical Intervention. Valve, meanwhile, are also supposedly working on a new iteration of the Source engine. Will L4D3 take advantage of that new tech? Will we learn more at E3 next month?

I'll wait for the internet to explode over this.

The fact that it's in development will be a shock to noone, tho. I think it's more the admittance of development will have people flip their shit.

Hey, look! Another game that I can listen people bitch about because it's not what they want.
Seriously guys, I predict that nobody is going to be happy with this game. Do we remember what happened the last time a popular "it's taking forever" joke came out? Because it got a 2/10 for being the same game everyone loved back in the day (with some added bugs).

So this means the never ending jokes about Half life 3 can finally be put to rest?

Duke Nukem is still a joke, but a different kind of joke. I have a filling that HL3 is going to be a mediocre game that fans are going to love because it's Half-Life and Valve, and nether can do any wrong.
