At this point I'm over HL3, if it ever comes out, cool I'll play it, but if it doesn't whatevs. This is going to piss quite a few people off, both in and out of Valve. It would explain what they have been doing for so long besides DOTA 2, CSGO had quite a bit of help from hidden path.

Valve's games end up on sale for $5 within the year. As far as support, I don't think Valve would have ported the entirety of L4D1 into L4D2 without the funding provided by the crazy amount of sales they already made. I'd much prefer to pay for the game and leave it at that.
If it's F2P I don't think I'll ever get a good Versus game ever
Don't believe Ondore's lies.
Something like that I'm sure. With increased infected count, I imagine they'd have to have a few a open areas in the map where the director can send that many towards you at once. Maybe if they gave the higher caliber weapons some penetration, they could have areas where hundreds and hundreds of zombies are getting mowed down all around the group while they keep pouring in.
I think modular levels would definitely be a nice upgrade.

Yup, sure is a ruse alright.
I don't get what you're trying to prove here. You've overplayed a short game, does that disprove his point?
In terms of content, L4D has nothing on Half-Life 2. It's a mini-game in comparison.

Half Life 2 has about 12 hours of cinematic shooting with a good plot and memorable characters, and nothing else.
Left 4 Dead 2 has countless hours of playing two games' worth of campaigns with a larger cast of characters and several game modes including a massive competitive multiplayer scene, of which I have been a part of for years. That's not including the co-op campaigns, survival modes, custom servers, mutations that have increased over the years, workshop support for campaigns and mods, and so on.
This doesn't even include the animation, modeling, and other technical aspects that were improved dramatically for Left 4 Dead 2's release.
So, no. It's not me overplaying a short game. It requires a little thinking to realize that it's far from a mini-game or sideshow.

Kind of a dick move to take a picture of that computer screen and post it on the internet.
My thoughts exactly! Violation of trust
I'm more than willing to bet that Valve won't stop the tours though.

Exactly my thoughts. Touring Valve is something I've always wanted to do, and thanks go whatever idiots pulled this it's pretty u likely they aren't going to seriously change the nature of said tours for the worse, or completely stop doing them temporarily. You're a guest being given the privilege of seeing the studio, doing something like this is unacceptable and a breach of trust.

i feel like the proper way to show of source 2 is with a half life game, but i guess left 4 dead 3 will be good.

Eh, Valve's been pretty cautious about making sure stuff like this didn't get snapped in the past. I don't think they'll do anything drastic to the tours beyond making sure everyone's got their screens off of the internal bug tracker.
Valve probably feels that they didn't need to innovate with games like L4D3, Dota 2, CS:GO.
They just have to release a game that respects the properties that came before it.
The Half-Life series has bred so much innovation in the past, they probably feel that they need to come up with something mind blowing to make a release.

Let's be honest about Half-Life for a moment; if Episode Three was released, what are the odds that it will be either:
A) A free download for anyone who has the prior episodes or
B) A prologue in Half-Life 3 itself?
I don't see how Valve can release Episode 3 this late for full price by itself. On the topic of L4D3 though, I cannot wait. Love me some L4D.

Safe bet that they cancelled Episode 3 and are jumping straight into Half-Life 3.
This better be apart of Orange Box 2.
L4D3 doesnt need the help of an Orange Box.

I loved L4D1 and didnt wanted to have L4D2 one year after the first. I didnt liked the atmosphere and the balance from L4D2. And adding the campaigns from L4D1 made L4D1 the worst purchase ever.
I hope they add more campaigns. Not adding L4D1 and 2 campaigns. And i want to see the L4D1 atmosphere again and rebalance the fucking melee weapons (Melee with guns gets a cooldown but normal melee weapons not?).

That had been confirmed back when /v from 4chan had a tour last year right?
CS:GO began life as a port of CS:S to the X360 so I'm not surprised it filled the space between CS 1.6 and CS:S. I'm expecting CS2 to have its own identity for the most part, though.
Source 2 was confirmed last yeat, yep. And we know they are working on Half-Life 3 (which they jokingly refer to as Ricochet 2). The existence of Left 4 Dead 3 is the big new here.
Gabe did confirm Valve had been working on Source 2, yes. L4D3's existence leaked in June: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=573769 and http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=595436
Seriously Wtf?! I'll be pissed

Man I can't wait to see what happens with CS 2.0, hopefully it's really good. I like all of the CS games though I'm not too good at them.

Team Fortress 2 is my favorite game of all time and I would much rather see Valve keep working on adding new content to TF2 then work on TF3.
First thing I thought of lol. Somebody's always gotta ruin it :/So i guess valve wont be doing tours anymore

Team Fortress 3 will (likely) take another 8-9 years just like last time folks, don't do this to yourselves.
The original gallery says "Valve was gracious enough to let us take some photos to share," so there's that.

if tf3 comes out 9 years after tf2, then we only have 3 years to go.

Your definition of 'content' seems lacking, or mostly based on campaign length. L4D2, especially in its current state, is brimming with content. Besides a few openworld games, there aren't many games out there as densely packed as L4D2.

I want a fresh start again. I play TF2 on a daily basis but it feels really bloated. I'm fine with a few more years of TF2 but I do like to dream about TF3 once n' awhile running on Source 2.

Oh fuck yes. L4D is easily the best thing Valve have ever done in my eyes, so I would be so on board with this. Hopefully comes to PS4, I love you Valve but not gaming PC money love you.

I was actually talking about the time between TF2's announcement (1998/1999) until it's release in 2007.

I'd rather play as the infected against bots. It was possible before. Of course not through a official mode.
