I know this was mentioned in the other thread but I thought it was such a big deal that it was worth starting a new topic for.

Initial announcement is here, I shall update this topic with more news periodically.

Valve announcement:

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike and Half-Life) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Portal 2 for shipment this coming holiday season.

Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Portal, which won 70 industry achievement awards.

What we [think we] know so far - MASSIVE SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT:

Info taken from April's Game Informer as scanned in the Portal Puzzle Wiki.

*Chell will return as the main character for single player
*For co-op there will be two new player characters, in the form of bipedal robots over ten campaigns. Use of four portals will be necessary to complete some of the chambers
*Physics has been upgraded so that the enviroments can affect you through portals in the form of suction and tractor beams.
*The introduction of the concept of applicable 'paint' - orange and blue. Orange can propel you forwards at high speed, while blue has the ability to bounce objects off it.
*Expanded arsenal

What's the deal with the underlined letters in the post?

drattmannh0nee

They gave a new login ident to the BBS. It's a long story. Here is a summary:

The 0 in "drattmannh0nee" could be the only digit for a reason. If you remove it, the other letters rearranged spell out "damn near tenth", alluding to a bigger announcement on the 11th March at the GDC.
