Valve teases Team Fortress 2 'secret project'

Guy's Half life 3 is not a thing. The games were fun and they are a classic.

Now stop whining about it and grow up.

I'm going to guess either a new mode, or a campaign. Judging by the comedic value of the shorts they've released, a story driven campaign of a similair nature may actually be a hit!

Sounds great!

CTH (Capture The Hat) mode?

@ColdfireTrilogy HL2 Ep3 is not coming, they moved everyone on HL3 and the new engine (Source 2.0?) developement. This is more than a rumor on Steam. @toddx77 you're right, it's a pc game, but HL3 will also be a tech demo for the new engine. They have no reason to skip a multiplatform release even if the HL series are made for PC gamers, gameplay wise.

The 'Secret project' is getting Gabe on a diet...... No point in worrying about delaying Episode 3 even further with Gabe jokes.

They should just work on the half life series

It'll be an in-game hat store! The Demoman will shoot top-hats with rabbits in them, which pop out and blow up like an ordinary grenade! There'll be a new "hat-vision" mode where you spot all enemies, even disguised spies, with distinct hats for 30 seconds! A new gameplay mode involves everyone hopping around in bouncy hats, with each class having different speeds of travel.

Oi VALVe! Where is 'Freeman'?

@s4dn3s5 I hate to say it but your probably right. The thing is though that console gamers have shown when it comes to Valve games they only prefer left 4 dead. While there are console gamers who enjoy half life, it is a pc game. I get the feeling it will be shown for its amazing graphics but then since the game play is not like call of duty it will be traded into gamestop leading to many used copies of the game being in stores and a huge difference in user score between pc and console gamers.

THEY ARE GONNA BLEND THE CONCEPT OF DOTA WITH TF2.

Valve: We lied.. It'll be more hats. We all know somehow, someway, there will be more hats.

@hannify At one point, some Steam forums users found some stuff that refers to a "raid mode", which I would assume would be a TF2 horde mode.

HL2EP3/HL3 Hats?

maybe new class...

So, we've had 'Meet the Scout, Soldier, Spy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, Demoman and Heavy' shorts. Just this one and we have a complete set! All that needs to be done after that is to mish-mash the lot together!

@Death_Blade_182 LOL :D

Generic comment about the lack of a sequel to a successful video game series that the aforementioned company has yet to release.

Who needs Half-Life EP3 when you have HATS?

Maybe..... Just maybe we might get to see the "Meet The Pyro" video.....

@s4dn3s5 they still have to do Episode 3 before HL3 even has a spotlight ... and its years behind in rollout.

Where's Episode 3?

There won't be HL3 before consoles next gen. So stop asking.

Just like SE keeps coming up with reason not to work on Final Fantasy Versus XIII Valve keeps making excuses not to work on Half Life 3 lol.

Not gonna lie, I stopped caring about Team Fortress 2 since they started adding incentives (like hats) for pre-ordering completely unrelated games. Looking forward to the Meet the Pyro short for sure, but I doubt whatever Valve comes up with will entice me to jump back in.

Guys, this is big news. I think they're going to give us what we've been waiting for....FREE HATS.

so many projects they are working on and none of them is about HL2 Ep3 or HL3

Please, Valve, I can't wait anymore!! Give us Half-Life 3!

An new class or more outfits would be nice...but still wanting that HL3 :).

Well guys, you can forget about HL3 anytime soon.

Me like

Serious Valve just get on with it & show us HL3 will all know their is not going to be an Ep3 already because of the delay in the timeline. Also give us some more maps for L4D2 or give us a L4D3 teaser. I keep hearing rumors that L4D3 is in the works as well. Valve keeps their legs closed tighter then a nuns when it comes to revealing things.

Nothing against all the things valve is doing, but i'm really waiting HL3 ://

I hope it is a mega update (and sentries with hats =D)

Laundry update?!

Hurry up with HL2 Episode 3! ...we are still waiting.

He who holds all the hats; holds all the king of the hills.

y u no make HL3?!

Great news.

King of the hill, but then with a hat?

Introducing SHOES! Earn and trade shoes to customize your TF2 characters.

I think it would be cool if they made a DoTA style mode for TF2.

More hats.

@Bozanimal capture the flag? Ya know the maps with that intelligence briefcase that you grab and take back to your base? That's capture the flag. There's also koth already.

Maybe you get a flamethrower in HL3...

no HL3, no care

I'm guessing it will include new game types.

would love a free for all game mod. that would be so effing awesome i would go back to this game straight away if they added that.
