It's a far cry from a Half-Life 3 announcement, but PC gamers around the world will get a free bonus in their Steam version of Avalanche's downloadable blast-em-up Renegade Ops: Gordon Freeman's iconic buggy. The buggy is cool-looking, but its best feature is surely its ability to summon Ant-Lions and sic 'em on enemies. Don't disturb the sand!

The vehicle will be included with the PC version of the game, which comes out October 14th. Wow, from the look of things, I have been missing out by not playing this game.
