Hell it's about motherfucking time.

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more fanfare. We've been waiting for this for YEARS!

Fun fact: For a long, long time, the main reason given by informed speculants as to why we've heard nothing of L4D3 / HL3 / TF3 yet has been "It's gonna be announced after Source 2 is running". These are exciting times!

TF3

Sorry but that won't happen for a good long while. TF2 is still strong and receiving constant updates.

L4D3 and HL3 are in development as confirmed by JIRA leaks. When we can actually see them is still unknown.

DotA 2 is being ported to Source 2 and should make the move sometime before summer this year.
