Half-Life 2 (PC)

[DjSatansfury]

Strange because on our pre order lists it has TBC, so i believe you may of been fed a line of bull****

[jezzace]

It had better be f-ing worth it or I'm going to start sending vile and abusive emails around.

You know it will though...

maybe Djsatansfury, if i don't get it then i'll be unleashing hell and theres always my local gamestation which happens to be a few doors away

By the way, when this game's released, how about we make a new thread talking about how it PLAYS?

This thread is a bit...unmanageable for that

[Spatial]

Nah no need for that, I can just rename this one, and indicate which page the actual gameplay discussion starts on

Valve are starting to take notice. Here's an e-mail someone got after buying a retail copy of the game and trying activiate it

Hello,
We noticed that you just registered a Half-Life 2 key. Where did you come across a copy of the game?

You're not in trouble or anything, but you're registered pretty early, and the game isn't activated just yet.

Thanks,

Erik Johnson
Valve

"Your not in trouble but we have some very itchy lawyers here who'd like to write a letter to the retailer"

So you want it to be called "Half Life 2 First Play Thread, formerly the *OFFICIAL* Half Life 2 Thread. Gaming discussion starts on page 76, depending on what you've got your options set to in user CP. No timewasters."

Um, pretty much

[Tom Salter]

Exactly, so if people have other options set in the user CP you're ****ed, and I doubt anyone wants to wade through 148+ pages of "The Half Life 2 Novel".

[Spatial]

Garg ! You lot and your organised threads !

Edit :- Some more pics to get excited over

Few doors away from where? It's miles away from game?

[gizmo1990]

Hehe, it still feels kinda funny that its finally getting released!

I wonder if its going to break records ala Halo2?

As far as I'm concerned its the biggest game of the year but I wonder what its sales will be like? I was flabbergasted at Halo2's.

Get away. Evil moderators.

Half-Life 2 discussion should stay in this thread. Just a quick change to the topic title like Spatial suggests will be enough. There's too much information and opinion already here to let it sink under. If anything it acts as a great record for the whole of Half-Life 2, considering it's inception was just after the game's unveiling.

[nips]

Actually, can you export threads to .txt files and stuff.

This would be a great catalogue!

[Concept]

Nips. What are you doing? You should be trying to protect this thread considering you're one of the main posters in it. Not try and suggest other reasons for it not to tranform into a first play thread.

[nips]

I'm quite happy for it to become a first play thread. We've already had this discussion though... I thought it was all ready agreed that it would continue after release... actually I think I suggested that we change the title...

I think it would be a really great catalogue which would be complemented greatly through a transformation into a first play thread so it has some consistency, at least for those of us who've been unable to sleep for the past year from delay shock.

Actually **** the coffee table book, I'm printing this off now ;P

It would be really cool to actually see jizm translate directly into words through this thread

It wouldn't make sense for the official HL2 thread not to contain impressions of the game etc...
