Here's the bad news from Valve's Doug Lombardi:

The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific "in-store" date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.

We're very glad all this release date nonsense is over with and think Valve should have confirmed this earlier.

I'm not sure how long you've been waiting for HL2, but I felt the same way when I heard of the Halo 2 release set back. Q1 of 2004 seems like a ways away, but I do hope it's either mid-January to early-February.

Heh, same thing happened with IWD2 too. I was expecting it at the beginning of my summer vacation, and didn't get it until school was about to start again..

This is really frustrating, why does this seem to happen with all the games you look forward to playing!!! I think it's all a scam to build up the hype as much as possible.
Has there ever been a release that went out on time?!?!

ha ha

Hey, don't complain too much. I was looking forward to ToEE, they rushed it out the door, and it has a bunch of bugs. If they delay it and get it tested right before it hits your computer all the better (if that is actually what they are doing...).

Hey, if you want perfection you've gotta wait for it. Otherwise you'll end up with a bug ridden program which requires numerous patches!

Yeah I agree with Sigmar! But i don`t want another Daikatana...

Well i will be waiting for you.. my love... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Don't mention the "D" word, simply refer to it as John Romeo's failure

Like i said, they are not working on the game. in actuality they are working on 'steam' which is the thing that allows you to play online. [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] . i dont want to play online however, so why cant they just release on time
