im guessing they aint never gonna release HL2 or TF2, i mean we havent heard anything about it in ages, the UT team manage to push out new UT games extreamly quickly, im not sure why valve would not do this unless it was because they had scrapped it complelty. I mean they managed to get CS:CZ out fast enough, the only reason i can see for them not doing it with TF2/HL2 is because they have scrapped it (surly its better to release now when people are intrested in valves work than later when no one can remember them).
