Two games that are very much anticipated this year are Left 4 Dead and Half Life 3, both from the developer Valve. There hasn’t been any announcement from Valve about either game, but fans of the series have been asking which will arrive first.
Recently the internal database of Valve was leaked which showed the mailing list which was related to both games. It showed that Valve has 300 employees, 42 of which are classed as developers and designers. These employees have received emails about Half Life 3 and it was suggested that 42 from 300 is a large number out of the workforce.
On taking a look at the mailing list is suggests that more employees at Valve are working on Half Life 3. This does seem to tell us that Half Life 3 may arrive on the scene first. This is purely speculation, as Valve is keeping quiet about both games.
