Half-Life 3 is just the code name for Ricochet 2, guys. Don't get too excited

 

[Philia]

I've been Googling pretty thoroughly and honestly can't see Valve filing a HL3 trademark anywhere before now....

When you say that, I still think its fucking bullshit that they left us with that kind of cliffhanger and after for SO god damn long. :\

 

[Truant]

Half-Life is not that good a game to warrant such anticipation and hype. Why hasn't it been forgotten long ago?

4/10

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Now we know the reason behind the government shutdown.

 

[Reversed]

Should have been trademarked eons ago.

 

[Acti]

HOLYSHIT! Its happening!

The Combines are doing a secret invasion to the USA government!

 

[RaikuHebi]

[Anteo]

lol volvo didnt have the trademark for half life 3 already? lol volvo. So we can confirm now that the game has started development =P

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I've been Googling pretty thoroughly and honestly can't see Valve filing a HL3 trademark anywhere before now though.

What's the actual source? how did you find this?

 

[ObjectiveObserver]

SRSLY?

It... it is... confirmed? T_T The day has cometh..

 

[Technosteve]

Seems legit, brb preparing for end times.

 

[Omikaru]

OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING!

Get out.

 

[GregLombardi]

That's the other thing -- why wouldn't someone attempt to trademark this first?

[Motley Grue]

Hello, I don't understand why they wouldn't have trademarked this years ago to prevent infringement?

[SwiftDeath]

So trademark renewal then?

No way they didn't already have it copyrighted after all

 

[Night_Trekker]

Horrible thought: maybe the trademark had lapsed (or was about to lapse) and they just had to renew it. And there's no game being worked on.

Volvo has nothing to do with this.

 

[BobLoblaw]

"Will I still be alive by the time Half-Life 3's released?" That's what I've been asking myself for years. Please let me live.

 

[EvilEntity]

Gaben is trolling

 

[angular graphics]

L4D3 is most definitely in development but I don't think it has been trademarked yet..

 

[Toxi]

Damn, I was really appreciating the Half-Life 3 jokes back when we knew it was never coming out...

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Hello, I don't understand why they wouldn't have trademarked this years ago to prevent infringement?

They probably just renewed the trademark.

 

[Esch]

aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggghhhhhh

 

[PSYGN]

Good to see them taking the first steps. I'll see you guys in 2016.

 

[LiK]

SteamOS exclusive

 

[Raiden]

So you're telling me i could have released a game on the market called Half Life 3 before this?


damnit

 

[FtHTiny]

Well that´s a surprise.

 

[Stitch]

Nope it's not happening. I don't believe it. Nope, NoPE, NOPE!!

;_;

 

[epmode]

I was trolled by actual HL3 news. Incredible.

 

[dralla]

but do they give Gordon a voice? I think they need to

 

[Easy_D]

What if Left 4 Dead 3 is Half Life 3?!

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I was expecting Half-Life thr...


WHAT

 

[fantomena]

 

[Sn4ke_911]

OP tell us, where have you found this? you dont find this stuff out of a sudden, what's the actual source???

 

[immortal-joe]

Well it's not like the existence of the game is a megaton, we know it's coming. It would just be nice to get any indication of it coming sooner rather than later, and this might be it....maybe

 

[Dance Inferno]

Either it's protection of the name or it's finally happening.

So either it's nothing or it's something?

Wow, my mind is blown.

 

[Beermeister]

Half-Life 3

 

[_Ryo_]

woah. It's happening.gif

 

[gabbre]

[Raxus]

I always figured they had the name trade marked.

 

[lightning2k3]

i heard that if you file for a trademark, you have a use it or lose it clause. Maybe that means valve is finally ready to make an announcement.

 

[Rösti]

OP tell us, where have you found this? you dont find this stuff out of a sudden, what's the actual source???

I found it during my regular (I do this like 14 times a week) browsing of new trademark filings. Told Shinobi about as I didn't wanna make a thread myself and have the servers crash (which they haven't yet luckily).
