Sometime 1/11/16: The leaker's account is suspended by reddit admins TL:DR Valve employee giving info on HL3 on reddit Reddit user/u/getrealhh's posts and private messages This is the message sent to the mod of/r/halflife from a supposed representative of Valve and/or Reddit [-] from getrealhh sent 4 days ago No new L4D developments going on right now. Just talk for a while of doing a free to play L4D that can be treated like TF2 and CSG0. But most of those ideas are going to the bookkeeper system I’ll answer all of these best I can: • Yes Marc retired after finishing major development for Half-Life 3 and the other things related to it. < \f\ refGTGnCG tO МЭГС 1_Э1с11Э\Л/ • I have no clue what's going on with the arg or any arg, but that symbol I've seen before and I nearly shit my pants when I started seeing it catch discovery, and I’ll Just leave it at that. • The 'leaks' in the updates are always intentional. • He came back to work on Half-Life 3 and other things related to it. < \f\ fGfGfGnCG tO KG I ly ВзПву Prospero has been used as the ground plan for Half-Life 3 and practically everything else for a very long time. As an added bonus I'll give you a timeline of the development of Half-Life 3: • 2003-2006 ideas start to gather for what to do in HL3. Nothing is really produced consecutively, and production quickly went back to focus on HL2. Slightly prior to 2003 was when co-op was discussed for Half-Life and how to implement it correctly. That entire concept became implemented in Left 4 Oead and Portal 2. • 2007-2008 Episode 3’s development becomes a development hell and Gabe corrals everybody together to instead focus on taking time to let things flow instead of rushing to do Episodes. Episode 4 in full development by this point, ideas start to really flourish and flow. Suddenly start to realize the episodes are a waste of time, do Half-Life 3 instead, we agree on making HL3. Realize we're going to need a new engine and it’ll probably take 10 years to make the game. In order to fund it and take Steam where It needs to be for the game's sake among several others, realize we're going to need to split L4D in two, and release a new Counterstrike following a similar model as TF2. Development starts anew with Half-Life 3. • 2009 Half-Life 3 continues development, team’s small as everyone’s split working on Dota2, L4D2, Portal 2, and CSGO. Source 2 development also starts. • 2010 Staff starts to become increasingly focused on Portal 2, Dota 2 and CSGO. HL3 crew still focused on HL3. Source 2 development finally starts hitting full swing as well as HL3. • 2011 Source 2 making major progress, finally supports authoring of HL3. Quickly becomes the largest focus of development in the entire building. • 2012-2015 Source 2 and HL3 development in full swing. • 2016 HL3 still being worked on as of January 25th, 2016. We’re almost done with the game. I can say with confidence that it’s coming out this year. « H.lfUf. (-J ««Irvalhh (Fj 1 («int 5 d»y« «90 4-5 Episodes with the last two being like Opposing Force and Blue Shift where you play as seperate characters, then < new full game someday. Half-Life 3’s always been on the schedule. we could do better than spam hl titles each year, you don't want to oversaturate your mam product. Episode 3 would've added absolutely nothing new. we had tons of new ideas floating around but not enough time to produce them, so everyone sat together and weighed out the pros and cons. Settle with a new installment to the hl series which by this point would only satisfy consumers story-wise for a very short while until its conclusion, which also nobody was sure if we should lead Into another episode or HL3, but if it were to lead into another episode then we need to plan for that one, and if it leads to HL3 then we need to make this the best one we can do. Pressured for time, | an overbearing elephant in the room speaking to everyone of how we should do HL3 instead, 2 episodes = the 2 hli expansions so fans got Just as much additional content. Organization with planning probably seems lacking, but this Is | literally the way staff felt from the start with the development of Epl, and it took a big hit when its 5 hour campaign released nearly two years after HL2. This went on for a really long while. I'm not sure if any of the 'leaks' said this, but it was known for a while that Ep3 would have been the 'longest' Episode, and it Just got out of control. There was huge tension among staff because we left fans on a diffhanger expecting Ep3 soon, but we were taught to sit back and let these new ideas flow and comfortably let things fall into place instead of frenetically working on something none of us would have been satisfied with, we weren’t sure if these ideas would be more suitable for other games either, but everybody wanted to work on HL3. Realized we needed a new engine and that it was going to take us probably 10 years to make the next game, but | every step we’d make leading there would add more and more benefits. Also realized that we were going to have to initiate the hat model into TF2 sooner, L4D would need to be split in two, and a new Counterstrike would have to get made, just to get where we would need to be. Around the time of Ep2’s release was when we started working on Dota2 as well. permalanb wvf context lull comment* (44) report give gold about Episode 3 vv ♦ Everything felt so concrete and well thought out, but suddenly everyone realized we were going in a completely wrong direction. Best way to put it is: You date somebody and feel very in love with them, but much to your own observation they have some major flaws and redflags, and the work you are pumping in to the relationship and the sweet things you do | for them is becoming too exhausting and more pressured and more required and expected.

Sounds hypocritical with the L4D games in mind, but the first one was more like the ’episode’ and 2 was the full-game. They had to happen like this or we’d be 5 years behind where we are now. Both pretty much made at the same time too. The episodes are merged with the hl2 source 2 port. The episode model was to continue the story every so often of our | established flagship franchise. Same mindset as after Empire Strikes Back came out there was new Star wars content releasing more often in comics and books, etc. | ♦ I feel your pam. I’m one of only a handful of the population that has actually seen the game and Source2 and have to resort to an online messageboard while getting downvoted in flames to talk about any of it.

If you responded Just forward it to this one. baconlovr @NotanaverageAvenger sent 6 hours ago No, we're Just fans of the franchise, like yourself. As with all posts, as long as you follow the Posting Guidelines then you won't have an issue with the mods. We ususally allow the voting process to run its course when it comes to if a post is popular. However, if you wish to provide valid sources to us (at your own discretion, of course) and they are confirmed, we can sticky the post if it’s warranted. We re not as strict with spoilers and whatnot like some other subs, we just want the content to be Half-Life related. NotanaverageAvenger @baconlovr sent 3 hours ago Alright, I’m going to make the post. Hopefully you and the mods will undersfand why it has taken us so long. To you guys I just want to say sorry. If there’s any proof you want me to provide that I’m a valid source I could try but it’d be a pretty short amount of time before I'm discovered. The secunty and Pi’s are as hardcore about this as The Force Awakens, so it would be a hard gamble. But the post itself should serve as enough to believe. The proof I’m legit would dwindle me down to about l of 30 people, no fun. I Just want to say to you guys personally and this is on behalf of alot of us at Valve: Not every employee who works at Valve knows about Half-Life 3. Not all of us are deliberate trolls (well some are. but the kind who hide under catenng tables instead of bndges). we are just regular people of whom several hundred of us happen to be working on the biggest videogame release of all time. Just, don't always let others get away with spamming staff about this game to us. it's something we are contractually not allowed to talk about unless facing heavy lawsuit and jatltime. Not only that, but there is reason for the wait and the work we have put in has us proud. But most importantly, its the most tempting thing ever when the community asks us when it's coming and if it's happening, because we’re way, way more excited about this game than the fans are. I guarantee it. And with all of this in mind, I have made the post :-) Thanks for your support and bravery and moderation of one of the most beautiful communities to ever grace my life, we love this community and look forward to seeing your happy faces very soon. Thank you, on behalf of all of us working on Half-Life 3.
