I'm pretty sure it isn't episode 3, I think I heard something about them saying they weren't going to say anything about it in E3. I'm hoping for a new IP, something original, valve needs a new series to relight the flame.
I want episode 3 or a HL3 (as long as it continues where it left off) however I have this recurring nightmare that it will be th announcement of Portal 2 episode 1. *shudders*
Episode 3, Half-Life 2 needs to hurry up and finish, so HL3 can come out.
The other choices listed in my mind I really don't care about. the Source Engine is fine, No Sequel necessary, and Left 4 Dead 2 is a lot worse than Left 4 Dead, it's only bright spot is scavenge.
I want my CS:S update, a new DoD, and that's about it.

Something new like hopefully new DLC for existing games- and Half life 3 or episode and such
I think Valve always has potential to knock things out of the park

It SHOULD be Half-Life 2 Episode 3, and they should make up for the time they made us wait by also selling each copy with a copy of Portal 2 and a free pass and a free lap dance coupon for the nearest strip club!
Hopefully, a new IP.
If it is a new Portal gamemode, or new DLC for an existing game I will kill everybody.

Then in that case they should make Unreal Fortress Source.TimeLord said:
It took what, 9 years to make TF2? I doubt they are just gonna push aside a game like that, consider all of the custom maps, mods, etc that are already out for the game, I highly doubt the community would just push aside all their work for a new TF game. Although I have the slightest clue on what they could do.
Episode 3. And it better be longer than the previous two episodes. Years waiting for 5-7 hours of play? They would have been better off scratching the episodes and just make them all at the same time and call it HL3.

How about the Engie update for TF2?
Or they could be amazing and announce that they are going to stop producing games and just concentrate on Steam, just to annoy everyone...

To everyone who voted new engine:
Do you mean improvements to the current Source engine, or a brand new engine? Because you do realise, Valve has never written a brand new engine before?
The original Source engine was a heavily improved version of the engine from the original Half-Life, which was an improved version of the original Quake engine. Since HL2 they have added HDR, a new particle system, hardware-accellerated facial animation, multi-core processor support, an OpenGL renderer and much more. There is nothing to stop them continuing to update Source to maintain competetiveness with their rivals.
Perhaps they have stacked up a batch of new engine features to be revealed in one massive update, but that's not the same thing as making a brand new engine. There wouldn't be any point to that, it's just too massive of an undertaking and wouldn't be any better than just updating their current engine.

, just simply for the "WTF"s
A new game engine, because if that is the case, Half-Life Episode 3 is right around the corner. And there will inevitably be a new Counter Strike and Team Fortress as well.
