You must be new to the internet. Welcome, we have memes. Some are older than others. One old meme was spaming "Half Life 3 confirmed" when any valve news happens.

I hope you can better enjoy the internet now that you know tjis! And again, welcome!

A related meme is that every time someone jokes about HL3 it gets delayed even more 😆

I've been seeing this dumb shit for decades. You've explained nothing here.

Bruh, it's a meme. Use a Britta to filter the piss out of your cornflakes and grow a sense of humor

BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y

This Britta filter thing is fucking gold and I’m keeping it. Salute.

I know what a meme is, kid. Quit trying to act superior. Get a life.

Your comment is more useless than the meme comment you were responding to.

Don't like something, scroll on.

Are you being pissy just to be pissy?

Take a breather, walk away from the internet. Touch some grass. Go do something productive with your time instead of being an insignificant sad angry little person.

Have the day you deserve

Addv4@lemmy.world · 33 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Unfortunately, it's a new game probably named Deadlock. Not hl3.

Potatisen@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

What's deadlock?

ampersandrew@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 2y (1 reply)

A leaked MOBA/hero shooter, designed by the Dota 2 designer, that they had been running playtests on.

Potatisen@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Ooooh, cool!

Thanks for explaining. :)

A new hero shooter just does not sound interesting to me, even if it is valve…

Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 2y (1 reply)

TF3. BAM.

TF was basically the original hero shooter anyway. What is it missing, Ults? Medic even had that, it's called ubercharge.

TheUnicornOfPerfidy@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 2y

I've been waiting a long time for Titan Fall 3. That's what you mean right? It couldn't be anything else could it? Definitely not.

Sabata11792@ani.social · 18 pts · 2y (1 reply)

If it could fill the void left by Overwatch 1 being taken out back and shot, I'll play it.

Azzu@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

It's really really good, you'll like it :)

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 10 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It's a hero shooter/MOBA and IceFrog (DotA designer) is working on it. That's enough on top of the Valve factor to at least make me curious, even though I otherwise share your sentiment.

awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Man, I remember the days when IceFrog was this new name that had appeared out of nowhere to revive 5.84c.

Coelacanth@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 2y

You're more venerable than me, then. I only started playing a bit after he took over, around 6.10 or so I would say. I heard of the old versions by Eul and Guinsoo, but I never actually played any of them I think.

Finally! A new Day of Defeat!

cassowary@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 2y

I would genuinely love that

Link@rentadrunk.org · 16 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Isn’t TF2 a hero shooter?

Evotech@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

It's kinda funny since overwatch was being thought of as a tf2 come back in the days.

Feathercrown@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

TF2 is probably being left as it is for a long time

Half Life 3: Deadlock confirmed

Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I've heard the explanation that they're not working on the half life series because they want to have bigger leaps in innovation, but then they work on a moba/hero shooter.

awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

They're not working on the half life series because there's no way they'll ever live up to the hype that's built up. Best to let sleeping dogs lie.

Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y

They have all the talent, budget and time they would ever need. No amount of hype will ever detract from a good game. Hell even cyberpunk managed to stay afloat after a disastrous launch and will be remembered positively by people that played the patched versions. I don't believe the hype thing either.

woelkchen@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

"We outsourced development of Episode 3 to finish telling the story."

Easy way to finish the arc while squashing hype.

A landing of Covenant troop carriers at Disney World also could be coming soon.

It's time for Prospero to finally shine, nearly 30 years later!

LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y

I've been playing the playtest version and I find the game is just okay. It's basically exactly like Dota but 3rd person and with movement mechanics like dashing/slide/double jump. It feels and looks great but there's just so much going on that it feels like I'm constantly missing something. I think the skill ceiling will be incredibly high.

Half Life 3

I want Valve to finish their Trinity. Lololololol

_stranger_@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Monkey paw:

Half Life 3 is basically a reskin of overwatch. There is no story mode.

who tf asked for another overwatch clone.

gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Overwatch did not invent playing a character that has abilities on a cooldown. It's much more like fast-paced dota with guns.
