On the 'Task List' image, Eli's name is crossed out, possibly referencing his death at the end of Episode Two?.Also on the image with the dates are faded characters reading "S6MU" when when in Google yields a top result of a naval vessel similar to the Borealis, the Aperture Science research ship introduced in Half-Life 2: Episode Two.The image with the dates also has a very small post-it note that says September 19.The crowbar and Blue Mesa Airlines (why blue?) are the obvious Half-Life references but take a look at some of the other interesting and funny highlights: Some of the more interesting images to come from the beta do not showcase gameplay at all, but instead reveal some of in-game assets that Valve put in as Easter Eggs, loaded with jokes and references to other games that fans are already attempting to connect to a potential release date of Half-Life 3. For months now, veteran CS players and others have been testing the Global Offensive to get it tweaked to the best balance possible and as such, little bits and pieces have been leaking online. While Valve's not releasing new Half-Life installments, they've been annually releasing titles for their other franchises, whether it be Left 4 Dead, Portal or what's coming this year: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Nevertheless, the frequent rumors, speculation and occasional tease from Valve themselves must drive them nuts. Their goal is to convince Valve to communicate with the Half-Life community about the status of the next Half-Life game, not to rush game development in any way. It was just yesterday where we reported about the 'A Call For Communication' Half-Life group on Steam that had quickly grown to 10,000 fans (now nearing 18,000). For the dedicated Half-Life fans growing impatient waiting for official word on whether or not Valve is working away on Half-Life 2: Episode Three (or Half-Life 3 as it's more likely going to be called), stuff like this must drive you nuts.
