WebHallen, an online retailer, posted about a product on their website and this had the community buzzing, they said that Half Life 3 was coming with the Xbox One as a bundle.
Of course some fans caught on fast that this was nothing more than an April Fools Day prank, as it was posted on 1 April. But now as you might expect the morale of fans has reached an all-time low.
There was also a joke from the developers of the Frostbite engine, Webhallen caused a great deal of worry for those who have been waiting for news about Half Life 3, but those who are not did find the joke very funny.
Now the community of Half Life fans are gutted, perhaps if the joke had been on Gabe Newell then things could have been different. It may have forced Gabe Newell to announce Half Life 3, however it didn’t. Now fans are back to waiting to hear about a release date for Half Life 3.
