Considering there's rumor that Episode 3 has turned into a full-blown HL3 instead, Black Mesa has my vote

I don't care, just give me my Half-LIfe. @.@

haha, indeed

Yeh, Black Mesa Source but they will both take so long...

Black Mesa Source looks pretty kickass. So, either way, I think we're coming out ahead as long as something gets released.

Duke Nukem Forever.

They should just give put the script to episode 3 online and let modders make it. 

Black Mesa, but yeah, I'm cool with anything at this point.

" Duke Nukem Forever. "

I don't even think their making episode three, at this point it better be just Half LIfe 3, either way Black Mesa will come out first probably.

" Duke Nukem Forever. "

I hope they just end half life and make a TF3 that has a sinlge player and story.

Both... in Orange Box 2!

can't wait for both of them, but black mesa will probably be first.

I really don't care I just need some New Half Life from Something...

I would like the games mentioned in this thread's title to be released. I believe, personally, that Black Mesa Source will be released first, because I'm fairly sure they gave it a release window at one point. Now if only they'd just hurry up with it.

I'm expecting Black Mesa Source.

I want both, I need both. GIVE ME BOTH NOW!!!
 
I vote Black Mesa Source.

Black Mesa Source, I don't think we will see Episode 3 or Half Life 3 for another 3-4 years.

I actually think HL(e)3 will be first - Valve will pull something out of nowhere like L4D2.

I am slowly starting to use faith in the Black Mesa guys. Yeah, I know, the trailer was kick-ass, but they are so fudging secretive and stuck-up about the mod, especially since they totally botched that 2009 release date. I'm growing tired of that carrot dangling in front of my face.

 episode 3

Hoping for Black Mesa to come out first, man that shit looking nuts and nothing beat the original Half-Life

BM I'm sure will come out first.

This Thread probably could've done with a vote system.
 
Anyway, I vote Black Mesa.
 
I never played the first game so I'd love to get to play this up-to-date version of half-life 1, so I can kind of get myself all prequeled up before I get the final episode/sequel out of the box and play it some.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Left 4 Dead 8.

I bet you anything that Valve has pulled episode 3 and used all that development to go into the story of HL3, the ending to Episode 2 made it quite a good starting point for a new Half Life story anyhow. The fact that has simply been too long since a new episodic Half Life game makes this theory all the more realistic. I bet Valve will announce both of them properly this year, if they attend E3 at all that is.

Hasn't Valve said they are not working on Ep 3 right now? 

Black Mesa, really looking forward to it.  
 
Shamefully I never played the original game, so black mesa will be my first experience of it. Bit surprised its going to be free though. Definition of a 'labour of love' I suppose.

I vote Black Mesa, but I both would be best

I'd say black mesa

" Duke Nukem Forever. "

The Purple Box
*INCLUDES*
Half Life 3 Episode 3
Portal 2
Team Fortress 2: The Spy Campaign
Left 4 Dead 3: Arena

If E3/HL3 comes first, Mesa will never come out since the whole purpose was to bring HL1 to a modern engine with modern graphics, and by then they will have a new engine to play with. Source engine is 8 or so years old by now and does not represent modern graphics. Unless "modern" is equivalent to 2006 or before.
 
I expect HL3 to be announced, then Mesa will rush themselves to finish their project, then HL3 will be out.

Ok, I started this thread two and a half thousand years ago, give or take, and it seems we finally have a winner:

And was I surprised? Nope!

Duke Nukem Forever a game that was born from darkness. When I first bought it I had so much remorse.

I love looking back at some of these crazy predictions in old threads
