Half-Life 3 is Coming Soon — Gabe Follower noticed many changes in the Source 2 engine after the latest Counter-Strike 2 update, including references to HLX.
What we can expect:
Physics and environment interaction:
• Improved NPCs with dynamic physics bodies — they can fall, stand up, and interact with objects
• Surface properties: burning, conductivity, sound reflection, and more
• AI Volumetric Event — a new NPC sound processing system, replacing AI Sound
• Mentions of ants and tamper devices — just like in Half-Life 2
Environmental effects:
• Complex wind system affecting cloth, grass, and trees
• Vegetation visuals responding to wind
• Interactions with fans and air currents
Destruction and damage:
• Damage to body parts and armor: head, chest, legs, etc. Enemies may crawl if they lose a limb
• Applies to vehicles as well — they can break apart
Graphics and visual effects:
• Dynamic hair system
• Bloom and volumetric fog reacting to light
• New precipitation parameters: rain, snow, dust
And now the most interesting — RUMORS:
• HLX/HL3 is in the polishing stage — some devs are already moving to other teams related to the game
• True ballistic system — no more hitscan: projectiles will have realistic trajectory, speed, and be affected by gravity
