Evidence of several internal projects at Valve including Half-life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Source 2 and many others have been discovered from a mailing list found within project management and bug tracking software, Jira.

Valve were recently forced to react to an issue with Jira. A metaphorical window was left open which allowed people to publicly access Valve's internal tickets. Valve were quick to shut down public access to their Jira database, so we recommend you don't attempt to access it.

The images submitted to us from an anonymous source show several mailing list groups of interest, although we do not have the full list at this stage. The first image shows the mailing group for "Half-life 3" including 42 employees in this cabal, which we believe to be quite a significant number, given Valve employ approximately 300~ individuals. The names of individuals in this cabal are from various development disciplines, many of which you're likely to recognise.

So they are working on HL3, that's it. Remember how people complained about E3 trailers for showing only CG trailers with zero gameplay ? This is evenlessinformation and it makes headlines.

They probably label half their projects Half Life 3 in case of a leak so they can drink up our tears of frustration.

Didn't they do that in whatever game where some files were named Half Life 3 just for fun, in TF2 maybe or something?

And them working on the game doesn't really mean shit, see Titan.

The story behind that source code leak is hilarious. Gaben sent a formal letter to the hacker that leaked it offering him a job at Valve, when he landed in America he was arrested by the FBI.

Touche. I guess it's heartening to see that they've got a pretty sizable staff on HL3. If there were only a dozen or so, we'd know they were still in pre-development stages (or worse, if it wasn't on the roster at all).

this is just as bad as when people would bump the Half Life 3 thread on FoH for no reason.
