Sorry, A Language Pack Update Doesn’t Mean Half-Life 3 Is Coming…

Desperate people do desperate things, it’s simply the way of things. When a new 3.7GB update appeared for Half-Life 2 people got excited and immediately their brains turned to the thing they’ve wanted and hoped for most: Half-Life 3. It must be coming.

Sadly, no. The update was basically a series of new localisation files for Half Life 2 — for Portugese, Thai and Korean.

But people are crazy. They are genuinely crazy. They want to believe so hard. Three new language? Three? GUYS. GUYS. That is the number three. Come on!

Probably the most hilarious part of the whole scenario is that there appears to be a certain subset of users who have a bug that forces them to use the new Korean voice acting when playing through the game. Wario64 is currently streaming a Korean playthrough of the game if anyone is interested to see what that sounds like!
