I'm pretty sure it will. Weee! Too bad it wasn't coming out next week. :p

great news that its gone gold but i think everyone forgot the little fack that

The publisher can sit on the game for up to 6 moths after its gold

get out your calanders kids. this means you can mark a "cant go past this day" on your calander and you can start the countdowns for 6 months from now.

i actually think that statement is a bit misleading since you have to wait a few minutes depending on the speed of the computer to have it unpack the gcf files and activate the game. (maintanance and cleanup etc.)

True. We should complain and sue valve for time wasted not being able to play the game.

[Chode]

Yesterday HL2 was sent to the BBFC for classification - an 'anonymous insider' said that this meant as far as VU were concerned the game was done. It's done but awaiting this last stage in the process to be made officially gold. :)

[Dotdot]

Well Im gonna remain scepticle untill theres a release via steam or an announcement from Valve or VU direectly.

As say this is is indeed Gold etc, you may not see it until they press like 1,000,000 disks so they have a shipment ready. Thus were probs in for a wee wait till mid November.

But in the mean time lets keep everything crossed that its available via steam sooner than that :)

Wooohooo!

More to download off Steam.

Agreed there. Not getting my hopes up over an unoffical announcement.

[Elmo]

not quite. until preload 6 was complete, the message read "a locked copy of half life 2 is now on your computer"

it has now changed. i think thats what mrk was trying to say.

[Dotdot]

Still doesnt mean were gonna see it yet. Im sorry but there could be um-teen reasons as to the game delaying till Mid november or something. This only tells us at most that the final CD`s/DVD`s are going to be pressed soon.

Um, well if the game just went gold it most likely won't be seen in stores till around that time anyway.

[Kerm]

I thought once it's gone gold we get can play it through steam?
