@alyx it is good to hear that it won't be fully procedurally generated like a lot of people thought it would be, it just has small elements of it with the AI and stuff.
@beardalaxy Haven't followed up on the rumors close enough, cause I hadn't heard that one.
Only thing I really hope for is that it brings something unique, revolutionary, some new tech to the table, so that it maintains the legacy of the series. If it can do that, and if it resolves the story started in HL2, I'd be perfectly happy if Valve never talks about Half-Life ever again.
@beardalaxy Honestly, until I see it released, I'm not actually putting my hopes up for an HL3, but the codename has been around in leaks for way too long to not be a big title. Even if it's not HL3, it's at least HL:Alyx levels of importance within the story.
