Gryph Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 What the semi-evil double post. What's the accurate release date btw?It had to be done. But there is no release date yet...the Valve-Vivendi thing is going on now. But that doesn't extend to Counter-Strike:Source so that will be released next week.

Wizard Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Didn't PCG review one of the release candidates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 Didn't PCG review one of the release candidates?PC Gamer UK has and they gave it 96%. PC Gamer US should be coming soon too. This is a semi-evil double post but I don't give a flock. New speculation on the release date and this time from a Vivendi insider. Vivendi would be very stupid to not use the Christmas rush as a great time to release the game. It makes sense from a business standpoint. Delaying it past that would be suicide. The long, drawn-out Half-Life 2 release date saga appears to be drawing to a close at long last, with Vivendi-Universal Games' expected to formally announce a November 26th release date for Europe, with US gamers getting the game three days earlier on November 23rd. Valve delivered a release candidate to VU on September 15th, and although an official 'Gold' announcement has still yet to emerge, Eurogamer understands that VU informed its UK retail partners this week of the expected release dates, having previously been fearful of not being able to release the game until early next year. But that release date sucks for me SINCE IT'S A WEEK BEFORE flockING FINALS! EDIT: And I'm also changing the name of this topic to "The Half-Life 2 News and Rumor Thread."

So in short, I usually buy my games when I'm shopping with her (unless I'm looking for used games.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
