Long overdue IMO

For fuck sakes, FINISH HALF LIFE!

Is there anything else left for them to make more of before they finally get around to it?

Ricochet 2

I wouldn't put it past them.

I doubt we see Half Life 3 before Team Fortress 3, or maybe neither because valve has a tremendous fear of the number 3

They know what fans want.

Anyway, I assume this is to show up those Calls of Duty and Battlefields games.

We already have the Valve games thread, but I'll post in here while this is available.

This sounds like a good idea. Hopefully everyone that currently plays 1.6 will like this game. Seeing as 1.6 is still being played professionally, it would be nice to have everyone switch over once the new game comes out, but I feel like it might be a slow conversion. Unless, all of the tournaments stop hosting 1.6 and force players to play the new game.

It will be nice to have a new FPS e-sports title though. StarCraft 2, Street Fighter 4, CounterStrike 2.
E-sports lookin' good.

I just hope they don't try to make it compete with BF and COD games.

By releasing it to consoles? Yeah, me either.

Interesting... Yet I think I've much had my fun with it already

Probably, unless you mean you hope they don't have ironsights, which I highly doubt they will.

If there is a kill streak and perk system I'm going to cry

Counterstrike Global Offensive will be free but you have to buy hats and weapons for five bucks a piece. You start out with no weapons.

Just like real Counter-Strike!
