All these could mean that there might be an announcement regarding this rumored third part of the Half-Life franchise, however keep reading because there is more than meets the eye.
First of all, this upcoming announcement could be the Pyro class of Team Fortress 2. IGN tweeted the ‘Wake up and smell the ashes’ line from Half-Life 2’s intro, hinting that the announcement would be for the Half-Life franchise.

Moreover, there were also hints of Pyro inside the new video for Portal 2’s map creator that is coming on May 8th. At 1:15-1:25 mark, you can see on one of the lil guys computer screen what looks like the Pyro shooting flames.
