"the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise."

I'm assuming that said "time, date and content" will be the release date for Portal 2. I can't see them releasing some other big news (as much as I really want Episode 3...).








But I swear, if it's L4D3, somebodies dying!

If it's L4D3, millions are dying.

And reanimating.

And then getting hacked apart by me.

Now announcing valve for the ps3

@liquidsoap Why would they cancel the Portal 2 event, to announce the release date for Portal 2? Think about it

Well theres four things it could be:

1. New [Insert Color Here] Box- PROBABLE with the release of Portal 2 on the horizon my guess is it would contain:

- Portal 2
- Coupon for Portal: Still Alive off XBLM
- Left 4 Dead 2 with voucher for DLC
- Updated version of Team Fortress 2 with all the updates plus vouchers for exclusive DLC like a new class and several new maps, or just the maps.

2. Left 4 Dead 3- MOST PROBABLE OPTION With the recent "Mutations" in Matchmaking in L4D2 it's obvious valve is trying to spitball ideas for L4D3 theyre trying to see which ideas we like best so they could put it into L4D3, and after "The Passing" DLC there are only 3 of the original survivors left, it would be corny, but it could happen.

3. Half-Life 3/Episode 3- LEAST PROBABLE OPTION But it could happen, plus I took the gnome being in L4D2 as a foreshadowing of sorts.

4. L4D1 DLC- HIGHLY PROBABLE Remember "The Passing" DLC a certain team member died in between L4D1 and L4D2 and I heard that Valve wanted to release some more DLC for L4D1 that showed how a certain team member died with one player having to stay behind while the rest of the team goes ahead.

Those are my opinions on what it could be.

@eh MY POINT EXACTLY, i mean 2 years for ep2 after it was only 1 year for ep1, and even they said they were sorry for the long wait, and now if nothing comes out this year it has just has to be full blown hl3 that or hl3 comes out this year, i mean come on they have to be working on something, portal 2 isnt being done by the main valve team just like portal 1 its being done by those guys they hired who did narbacular drop

I don't want to be surprised at all because I'm expecting this is going to be the HL2E3 announcement. Either that or they've decided to just forgo episode 3 and just make HL3.

Just please, Valve, don't surprise me!

Actually, half-life 2 episode 3 WOULD be a surprise.

but it'll probably be more dumb zombies. Because they didn't get old 2 years ago or anything.

The email was from 'Aperture Science' so it makes sense that the surprise would be Portal 2 related. My guess is that the event was cancelled because they've been invited to present Portal 2 in the MS keynote.

What will happen is Portal 2 will be released via Steam and Xbox Live sometime during E3. That will be the surprise.

Episode 3 - PS3 exclusive!

I hope you're kidding. Valve wouldn't do that, they're a huge PC developer. Although announcing it for PS3 as well might not be too far off the mark.

The surprise is that Portal 2 IS Half-Life 3!

Honestly though, I don't care what it is really, as long as it's NOT Left 4 Dead 3.

If this surprise ISN'T episode 3, I swear I will infiltrate valve's headquarters and delete every project they are working on BESIDES episode 3. Then they'll have no choice but to work on it more. Ha!

Hopefully the surprise is that they decided to let their balls drop and start developing for the PS3.

Deploying suprise in 5...4... *l4d3 goes on screen* Time out for a second. do you see that thing that came up on the screen what is that? Its not the surprise, ive never seen it before. never mind its a mystery we'll solve later... by are selfs because you'll be dead before HL3 comes out. You shouldnt boycott that thing, my gusse is that boycotting it will just make your life even worse... somehow
