Over at lambdageneration they are reporting some interesting things found in a leak of the DOTA 2 client from a Vietnamese beta tester. As well as placeholders for items used in DOTA 2 whats really exciting is the fact that there are files which are labeled 'ep3' specifically. The most revealing are of the weapons which include an ice gun something called a weaponizer and a flamethrower! So now at least we can rest easy knowing they are actually working on Episode three! Read more over at lambdageneration.

/src/game/server/ep3/weapon_icegun.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_concrete.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_liquid.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_metal.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weapon_flamethrower.cpp


And also new Valve intro logo!

As I said on GAF, the last news we got of Ep3 came from people data mining Alien Swarm Source. At this rate all Valve needs to do is release ~40 more games and we'll have enough data to piece Episode 3 together ourselves.

THE ULTIMATE ARG.

That's pretty cool.

Although I intuitively knew all along that they were indeed working on it. They were never going to just abandon their biggest franchise in the middle of a trilogy. Having said that have no interest whatsover by in trying to ship by X date, and this discovery doesn't indicate we are close by any means.

They're not working on it. They just stick these files in other games because they know people are going to search for them and get excited when they see it and call it proof it's being worked on. They're playing you all like fools. FOOLS!

Yeah I liked it better when the dude didn't try to look at me.

This news is nice, but ultimately with first DOTA 2 and then CS:GO on the horizon. I'll be surprised if we'll get any real Episode 3 news for at least a year.

Still, flamethrower and Icegun... Sounds interesting.

Valve has already said that people will work on EP3 when they give a F***, and he wont push them to finish it off anytime soon.

also, while those weapons sound nifty, they seem out of place for what hl2 has been, who knows, maybe they go well with the artic environment or what not, but seems to be out of place for what we have already seen.

In all honesty, sounds like they took part of the code for ep3 while working on DOTA2

Obvious it's a trap. BTW I honestly don't see why this is a news post. It's like yay we found a link to the fossil Gordon Freeman but we still don't know when the fossil came to be at this place.

I hope you're joking... You seriously don't think people in a half life forum won't want to get info on the next game in the series?!

its not a ton of info but I thought its interesting anyway....

I personally think they did this on purpose to keep the rumor mill going, because people are gonna forget about EP3 or even care about it. I want to be excited and i want to check this site daily, but i just don't care anymore. It's taking too long but that would have been okay if they released just something worthwhile.

Did you not read the title then? It's not as if it said 'Episode Three leaked.. oh and dots 2 but who cares'!

I wonder if they did this on purpose, if they were that good at hiding stuff you would think they would have removed stuff like this
