I know, I'm looking forward to Half-Life 3 too and want the story to be concluded too. I'm just trying to keep my expectations from getting too high so I won't be disappointed when it finally comes out.

My expectation is a similar atmosphere, and maybe ADS this time, and hopefully a combination of portal and gravity gun combat. Would be awesome.

A combination of portal and gravity gun combat would be cool, yeah. ADS, I'd be okay with if it were limited to certain weapons a la Black Mesa.

I just prefer ADS because it adds an enjoyable hint of realism. Something that's more aesthetic than anything, as opposed to the shitty things that can be "realistic". Things that generally make games less enjoyable.

ADS hasn't traditionally been part of Valve games outside of sniping weapons tho.

I know that, but it doesn't mean that they should continue that tradition.

good point. I just don't want it to become too "modernized", if you will.

You avoid that by having health and shields, interesting enemies and combat, unique weapons, a good atmosphere. etc.

 

Oh, and sprint that doesn't suck.

Yeah, pretty much. And no regenerating health.

Above 25%. It can come back to 25%, but no higher.

I'd prefer no regenerating health at all, a la classic shooters, but I guess that can work too

Half Life 2 was boring?! What!!!? VR is boring?! How is a "virtual reality" boring. A reality where you are transported to space, to the jungle, underwater, on a different planet and you are able to interact, and move around.  A reality where you can be in the middle of a battle in a war, a reality where you could fight zombies, a reality where you could experience past events as if you were there. All while being immersed in a different place.

When you can blow through a game with ease, as in without dying or coming even close, its boring.

I don't know why people think virtual reality is only for gaming.

Oh I know its not, there has been plenty of examples of other uses. But I was talking in reference to the fact that HL2 is boring.

Im pretty sure LFD3 is pretty viable, but HL3? Naaah. Won't happen.

[GeekJump]

[Valve Game] 3 have been leaking here and there for years. I think Gaben was honest when he made that comment about w/e someone asks for HL3 he will push it back even more lol. The story and parts probably have existed since HL2 but I doubt we'll ever see it.

 

L4D3 will probably be the first 3rd game Valve ever releases. It wouldn't be that hard since it's a purely multiplayer game.
