Half-Life 2 (PC)

[nips]

Does anyone know where I can download the UK TV advert for HL2?

[Zapp$ter]

Someone could probably make the same advert in flash or whatever it is people use for this kind of thing. Seriously the advert I saw, was basically nothing more than the HL2 logo on with a black background(I think) and then it cuts to a shot of the game box with Freeman on it, with details about the games price and release date. There's not a whole lot to it really, hardly worth a download IMO.

Wonder what cover mine will end up being ?

Spatial101, are those shots taken in AstroCity in Akihabara? When I visited Tokyo a while back I bought Doom3 from there about a week or more before the proper release date.

I miss Japan.

Oh, and its the 16th and not a moment before - confirmed by Doug Lombardi

If you have purchased a copy of Half-Life 2, we are sorry you are still waiting to play. This is not Valve's choice. Vivendi is insisting that the game has not yet been released, and has threatened that Valve would be in violation of its contract if we activate the Half-Life 2 Steam authentication servers at this time.

Thanks for your patience and we will update you when we have more news to share.

Dirty tricks tactics to dent Valves Steam share ?

Guess the rollercoaster ride up to this games release isn't over just yet. Valve and VU must really be at odds over Steam, and that lawsuit.

Well the ones at my store, are all plastic dvd boxes with Freeman on the front. None of this cardboard ****e

Cardboard is the ****, it has an air of importance about it.

Plastic is for schmucks.

They are indeed, well spotted

I think those boxes are American imports ( hence the `M` rating on the front )

I remember walking past the store and just spotting a Doom3 poster and an arrow pointing upstairs, couldnt read the rest of it but presumed it was a video or playable demo. But there in front of me was a stack of Doom3's waiting to be plucked! Us Europeans always getting the good stuff last.
So the US have different boxes for HL2, nice.

Couldnt agree more nips, cardboard boxes are the biz.

I hate them personally, dont go in my organised racks, and break to **** within moments

[Concept]

Right. Time to get into gear. Time to go through Half-Life from start to finish in preparation.

This is going to be some week.

Though Gameplay have yet to dispatch my order meaning I'm going to be hanging on the posties every move tommorow morning

[DjSatansfury]

Looks like i'm at work the full day for release, so im probably not going to be able to play it till Saturday

[Chadruharazzeb]

Roffle! Yous lot are just like so naive! This won't be coming out tomorrow! Get a grip.

(If you believe this, you won't be disappointed)

I hope Chronicles Of Riddick keeps me busy in the meantime.

[Ish]
