Valve Releases A Half-Life 3 Trailer

Earlier this week a bunch of fans on the Steam forum made a thread, and a group, stating that Valve should let fans know what’s happening with Half-Life 3. The fan count skyrocketed to 18,000 members in under a month, which is great.

The group simply states “The lack of communication between Valve and the Half-Life community has been a frustrating experience. While continued support for current and future products is greatly appreciated, fans of the Half-Life series have waited years for a word on when the franchise will return.”

This might have worked, it seems.

We’d like to direct your attention to the video above. Let’s dissect the video. To do this, it’s best to watch the clip first. Once you’ve watched it, click the link below and more text will magically appear.

Oops! We lied. It’s a rick-roll. Valve didn’t release anything regarding Half-Life 3, however the group we spoke about does exist. You can find it here.

We thought it would be fun to play a prank on you, as you’re always trolling us in the comments. Also, this is the first instalment of something called “Fiction Friday”.

If you were caught out, we suggest catching your friends as well. They might be as gullible as you. Actually, let’s hope that they are.

Catch your friends with the “Half-Life 3 trailer” by Tweeting It Out or by Posting It On Facebook.

Also, you just got rick-roll’d.
