I bet it's Minerva's author, yes. Perhaps it will denote either DLC or Portal 2... OR EPISODE THREE.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN.

The slightly More Orange Box™
Portal 2
Half-Life 2 EP3
Team Fortress Orange X

Actually according to a SPUF admin, Valve is moving their offices so it wont be anything big. Yet.

You know, for as much as people whine about debatably bad TF2 updates and what-not, no other major game company in the world would ever take as much time as Valve most likely has to release a crazy update like this.

Valve have already moved, last week.

In my opinion this means that probably valve are slowing down on tf2 to work on Episode3 and Portal 2 getting released.

And people say Valve is a bad company?

This is EXCITING.

HL2:Ep3 + Portal 2 + TF2 with all updates = Orange Box 2

Reversing the fizzle noise yields a sound that appears to say 'You are next'.

Also, from the steam thread:

Calling resulted in what sounded like a modem.

I don't think Valve would do a CSS2, TF2 is their primary multiplayer game now along with L4D/2, and I don't think they'd want to dedicate another team to it.

I hope the Orange Box 2 comes with a complete Half-Life 2 (i.e. seamless transition from 2 -> Episode One -> Episode Two -> Episode Three) with all the engine upgrades that will doubtless come with Episode Three, and then for consolites, a fully updated Team Fortress 2, along with the original Portal and Portal 2.

Valve did say that they had no plans to release any other kind of orange box afterwards for say episode 3 or portal 2.

So the chances are you're all barking massively up the wrong tree and that portal 2 is about to be announced completely stand alone, which is we'd have expected. (or at least anyone that can remember interviews from way back would expect)

I remember in an Interview with Gabe I watched, he said that depending on people's reactions, they'd release Portal 2 or CS:S 2. I think he mentioned Episode 3 in the sense that he said "I can't talk about Episode 3" But yeah, for a while, people were spamming his twitter like mad begging for a new Counter Strike. I'll try to dig the interview up.

And the fact that Episode 3 was already announced that it would not be announced in 2010, so it's straightforward Portal 2 or another new series.

I thought that was just a rumour with no confirmed source about the 'no EP3 this year'?
