The Combine already found it, Mossman's team is trying to prevent them from unlocking the technology in that ship.

The giant chasm could either be a result of an earthquake or caused by the Combine.

I'm not an expert on Half-Life lore, but wasn't the Borealis supposed to be located in some arctic setting? Like, frozen to the side of an ice-cliff and all that jazz?

It'd be nice if it really were an announcement, but this image doesn't say much.
yup. no ice, no borealis.
Not necessarily. Everything we've seen so far has suggested that the Borealis disappeared somewhere completely different and was only just found in the Arctic after Dr. Breen was killed.

I find it amusing that people are still grasping at possible glimpses of notorious vaporware. It's like a horse accelerating in frequent bursts because it just knows it's going to get that carrot on the end of the string eventually, it just has to be a liiittle bit faster.

But, then again, we're apparently really going to see the release of Duke Nukem Forever after all, so what do I know... :\

If I remember correctly either Mossman or Eli said the ship took half the dock with it when it disappeared.

In addition, in the official screenie and in the ingame video the Borealis seems to be intact.

Supposed to embedded in a icy cliff, doesn't resemble the concept art, and the ship is broken in two, if this IS a Half-Life 2: Episode 3 reveal, I'll eat my own shoes.

No! If Valve put it off for long enough, eventually people would stop caring aboot episode 3 and they could abandon it preventing any further damage to gaming from the franchise.
Are you ever going to except that some people like the Half Life franchise and stop shoving for hatred for it in everyones faces? Voicing your dislike for a franchise once or twice is fine but you seem to be actively looking for Half Life threads in order to ***** about it. The damage you claim the Half Life 2 franchise did to gaming was already done by Halo 3 years prior.

Just the art style makes me think Resistance 3, I remember 1 and 2 having similar art for their ads. That being said, I doubt it's even Resistance 3, or a new Half-Life. There's nothing that really makes me think it's a new Half-Life. What was that game where you play a survivor of like...the apocalypse? I Am Alive, I think it's called? Just from the way it says "A Survivor is Born", I think of that game. That slogan just doesn't seem to fit right for Half-Life or Resistance in this phase of their time span.

I think it may be wishful thinking on your part mate. However, now I'm interested what game are they referring to :)

..so why did they fight nature and make it stay inside the ice? why not take it out..

something else is going on >_>..

It's very unlikely that it's Half Life 2 related. They're not revealing the game until next year.

Plus, that ain't the Borealis. The Borealis doesn't look like that.

Guys Guys Guys!

'A Survivor is Born' is an anagram for Savior Born Virus. Gordon Freeman will spread a virus to infect and eventually kill off the combine.

A Survivor is Born would only make sense for Half-Life if it detailed the birth and early life of Dr. Freeman before all this Combine Black Mesa business.
So Episode 3 is a prequel :O.

Yes, that is awfully gun jumpish.

I can think of about four new games that it could be, not to mention that it says "a survivor is born"

If this were in fact Half Life, that sounds a little bit off track of what they hinted they were going to do in the last game.

I'm gonna say that this is gonna be a completely new unrelated game.

Half Life whatever we decide to number it will no longer be worth it if this song is not somehow incorporated into it.

Well, here's the source code:




A Survivor is Born



var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', '19668291-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'none']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();



body {
background-color: #000000;
}
div.c1 {text-align: center}














Apocalypse? Funcom's new MMO, Secret World, anyone?
