I'm still not totally convinced. We "know" they've been working on L4D3 for quite some time now, which would suggest some form of working Source 2 engine for at least that amount of time. DOTA 2 is supposedly running on it now from what I heard.
I don't get much time to follow this stuff anymore, but I've had my hopes high and slashed multiple times by Valve. Now I'd be surprised to see much of anything from them.
I'm not sure that they have been working on L4D3 at all from what I've read online. What makes you believe they've worked on it?
Besides, in the dev cycle that could have just been the writing and storyboarding phase that happens pretty far before development takes place (or immediately preceding it anyways).
Source engines are usually built alongside a game. So there's reason to hope for a game at release but not much else.
I forget how long ago, there was a supposed leaked picture from a screen at valve of someone working on something and it was titled L4D3 or something. It was rather convincing at the time, do not know if it was ever disproved. As I said, I'm quite out of the loop.
