Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
And yet the genre has somehow managed to continually go back from that since then (at least until the last year or two where a couple of FPS at least tried to claw things back to where they were).

I only just now noticed he's making a crowbar. I always thought it was just a sword or something. I'm an idiot.

Can't wait to see Half-Life fans lose their minds if this game is officially announced
.
and wait for it to go on sale before buying it
I will be extremely hyped when it finally gets revealed.
I will also avoid every thread about it on gaf, because they will be awful.

Title change is amazing. 10/10.
I mean... the game is over 10 years old. This is like saying "Man, I don't get why people love Ocarina of Time so much. Such a shitty open world game. I mean, look at the Witcher."
Half Life 2 was an achievement when it was released, and in many ways, it still is. Sure, the story/plot was really weak, and it was extremely linear, but it advanced an entire genre forward and showed that FPS games could be more than just run-and-guns.
seriously, don't do this to yourselves guys lol
Anyone can call their game Half Life 3, and the fact that it is such a never ending development title, it makes an excellent pseudonym for any game developing that wants to avoid such a leak

don't worry it's on console too
My expectation is Half-Life 2 with better graphics.
Oh man... wouldn't that drive fans insane. Releasing HL2 remastered before anything HL3 related even comes up.

I don't get the title. What if it uses Steam as a release platform? It's a Valve game so I would expect no less.

How do you fake a steamdb entry? It's IMPROBABLE.
People tend to forget about Portal 2 and its accolades. Half-Life 2 was not the last Valve game.

In 2004 there was another fps Halo2 which has a more dynamic gunplay and enemy AI, and comes with much fun so captivating multiplayer.
Far Cry would be a better contender for fps of the year 2004.
I didn't like Halo 2 that much. Just my opinion.
Halo 1 imho was even better and even it had a lot of ripetitive combat sections and a few shallow levels (the Library) that almost made me want to quit the game.
Half-life 2 imho has better weapons, the aiming in Valve's game is by far more slick and satisfying (no aim assist), has better physical interactions, bodies reactions when enemies are hit are more convincing (ok, nowhere as good as modern games), HL2 offers more variety, scripted events (both are linear and scripted games) and gameplay mechanics.
They are differents games, though, meant to impress different people.
Halo tries to be "epic" with its engaging large scale battles, while HL2 tries to offer a more unsettling experience and the combat is more visceral, also the enviroment in HL2 plays a big role, in Halo it's just a scenario for battles with scarce relevance gameplay wise.

I don't get why people even look for Half-Life 3 leaks any more.
