Half-Life 2 can't be vaporware because there was never much flat out proof it even existed. As for TF2, well let's think realistically here, Valve WILL eventually have to make a new game or they will go out of business, they can't rely on Half-Life FOREVER.
HL is a cash cow. Anyone who makes HL2 is guarenteed to make a massive profit so they wouldbe foolish not to make it. In fact I would think sierra would send some thugs round with melee weapons and lvl1s on leashes if Valve said no.

Yes it was confirmed ages ago that there was a HL 2, but not much else <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->, also Manah, this is the off-topic forum <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Dang.. this is exactly the reason why i think HL2 will come out.. cuz of people like us drooling over the possibility of an HL2, and these huge discussion boards over HL2. i mean, look at this thread! it's already over 4 pages long! plus, like Infinitum said, there will obviously be mods for HL2, if such a thing exists. he's gonna buy it just for the dev tools to mod the dang thing. i do think, however, that the 'all-of-a-sudden it's out go buy it' idea won't be done, because people woudln't have time to get it right away. my idea behind that is they will announce it a week or so (+- a few days) and then release it in stores. of course, i have no proof HL2 will come out, i'm not going to say "Half-Life 2 is coming out!" cuz that'd be stupid. no one really knows except Valve i think. and of course, this is all my opinion. who knows what they will do. maybe they will sell a box that says "Half-Life 2" on it with no game inside....
I believe it is more than possible to make a HL2. HL may of been revolutionary, but remember what it did was REVOLUTIONIZE. It changed what a videogame can be and should be, so of course to valve it changed what HL2 will be. There are thousands of ways HL could of been made better, and if valve puts the time in they could create a monstrous supergame that could once again revolutionize gaming.
infinitum i am with you i hope hl2 comes out with the same dev tools thats all i wish for let me go rub my gene lamp and hope my wish comes true. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Not confirming or denying the fact that HL2 is in development. Not one single screenshot is available.
Need I mention the Duke Nukem Forever fiasco. "Hey, we're making DKF" *50 years later* "Uh yeah... It's all good ppl"
2-3 months after HL2 is announced it gets released will do me just fine.
