In addition to the new mode and customizable textures, the latest update of "CS2" obviously also contains clues to Valve's next "Half-Life" work. According to Valve data miner "GabeFollower", the code extracted from the "CS2" update file includes two new pieces of information. The first is a game codenamed "hlx".
He shared a screenshot of the code, which included a line reading "type=hlx_2d_basic". He explained that the string "hlx" is similar to the codename "HLVR" in "Half-Life: Alyx". If it is really "Half-Life 3", Valve will naturally hide it, so the possibility of an official sequel is not ruled out.
But someone in the reply also explained that the more likely explanation for "x" is "Cross (X) platform", which is cross-platform, which means "hlx" is likely to be the PSVR2 version of "Half-Life: Alex". But it could also be a new spin-off, or anything else.
Another rich piece of code, about 30 codes, is listed under the "Citadel" section. This is the code name that V has used before, and it is closely related to "Half-Life". It has been previously shown that this is a multiplayer game, and several lines in the code such as "EguidedBotMatchObijective (robot pathfinding?)" and "CitadelLobbyPlayerSlot_t (multiplayer game room player slot)" also prove this news.
Whatever Fortress is, it appears to include a very rich locomotion system, with code including ELeapPhase, EHurdleType, EMantlePhase, and EGrappleState. The game also appears to have surveillance drones. The "HeroID_t" in the code implies that this is either a sequel to "DOTA2" or a hero shooting battle game similar to "Overwatch" and "Team Fortress".
