The people at Valve Software like to tease. They donāt, however, like to confirm the existence of new Half-Life games

Kotaku reader ZombieK says he spotted these images in the beta for Valveās spring-scheduled multiplayer shooter Counter-Strike: GO. Letās classify them as teases. Or taunts. Or.. Easter Eggs?

The shots first appeared on the Steam forums last month.
ZombieK says the images all come from the betaās unreleased office map. āThe textures and all the files for the unreleased maps are there except for the maps,ā he said over e-mail. āI originally ported only the map cs_office from source. And when I opened it in GO the chalkboard spread all over the wall . So obviously it didnt have any coding for how big it should of been but when I saw it, I started digging through every directory.ā
The first two images are screenshots. The others are art files pulled from the gameās directories. The Mesa bits and the crowbar are Half-Life references. The others are jokes about other Valve games, Counter-Strike included. Good teases, Valve fans?
And no, this isnāt a confirmation of Half Life 3 either.
