Episode 3 Code Found in Dota 2 Leak

A naughty Vietnamese Dota 2 beta tester has taken a bullet for the rest of us, releasing the new action RTS game’s whole client and files onto the Wild West of the internet. While there are some interesting tidbits about Valve’s upcoming strategy game, perhaps more enticing for most of us is the discovery that select files from Half-Life 2: Episode 3 are apparently present in this version of the Source engine. Yup. Check out one of the more interesting bits here:
/src/game/server/ep3/weapon_icegun.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_concrete.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_liquid.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_metal.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weapon_flamethrower.cpp
Should this pan out to be true, we could be looking at some big changes in weaponry and gameplay for the long-awaited conclusion to the Half-Life 2 story arc. It’s not much to go on, but it’s all we’ve had in a very long time. Let’s hope we get more info soon. We’ll update this post with any more information we can get our hands on.
Awesome! I really loved (love) the Half-Life series, can't wait for EP3 :(
