Why do you want to derail your own thread?

Most of the general public doesn't even know about the half life series. The "casuals" if you will. Its sales will probably be close to the Witcher 2

Eh, a lot of people know what Half-Life is. Did you know that Guiness Worlds Records awarded Half-Life with best selling PC first person shooter of all time? Plus, Half-Life 2 sold a ton of copies, making it one of the highest selling PC games, and let's not forget to mention the console versions.

I think he wanted to say that few actually care about it, except the die hard fans, like CS or Halo, everyone heard about them but other than the fans nobody goes mad when they hear something about these games. As for the thread topic, I'd say less than 6 mill in an year.

Is it really fair to say that about a game that doesn't even exist?

For the PC version I would say about 4 million in the first week. As for the console versions probably won't go past 5,000. Console players have shown they prefer FPS games like COD and Halo so not many will be buying Half Life.

Half Life 2 didn't tickle my fancy either. Low difficulty shooter rife with seesaw puzzles. So, to answer your question, it's fair enough for me. Besides, Half Life 3 is the new Duke Nukem Forever.

what if gabe dies from heart failure or stroke because he's so big and we never have any half lifes. ever. Or they make him the new G-man to immortalize him. That'd be cool. Honestly though i think it'd be cooler if he was super fit and made work out videos

Half Life 3? what's that? hmmmmm *looks in gaming history books* Oh yeah, the sequel to Half Life 2 that should be the most amazing FPS ever considering it's taking this long to even announce it.

The game will probably never come out ... valve is turned it's interest towards MOBA games I guess ... else why would they bother waste their time and money on the new dota ... as for the HL3 sales - guessing won't achieve anything. Freeman died with the release of Episode 2 ...

How does them developing DOTA 2 mean HL3 will never come out? Developers don't just quite game developing after one game.
