The Release Of Half Life2

[G4M3R]

I'll have a quick go during the week after the 16th, but the weekends out for me as I have to go out of town to install a new Starbucks. So it will have to the following weekend till I get to have a proper go at it.

Is Half Life:Source going to be released at the same time? Anybody know anything about Half Life:Source? I got my Steam Silver account but I can't find any release date for HL:S...!

[ChrisWang]

Half life:source as in the half life multiplayer component ?? The only mulitplayer component is CS:source and DOD:source for now.

It should be a simultaneous release along with HL2. The reasoning behind that is I've preordered the Collectors Edition, with HL: Source on the DVD's.

Man this is getting over the TOP :drool:

Half Life: Source is a remake of the original game using the Source engine, not a multiplayer component. ;)

If HL-Source is out at the same time then I'll upgrade my ATI Bronze to the Silver package. It's worth it for the sake of $10 I think.

Is that official?

It could just mean that we can download and unlock it when it is finished?

[Tran]

Man, with so many new games coming out, my wallet is definitely going to take a hit by the year's end.

[bush]

actually i'm more waiting for hl:source not the hl2, same for duke nukem:total meltdown. gosh i want this game with doom3/hl2 graphics :pinch:

I'm not entirely certain. The product description when I preordered the collectors edition stated that Half Life Source is included (amongst other things). Whether or not it's on the DVD's or simply available for download for free later I'm not sure, however I would be inclined to believe that it will be on the DVD's (and thus released simultaneously with HL2), as they would have stated on the box or on the product description that HL: Source would need to be downloaded later on from Steam if it weren't on the DVD's.

Could be wrong though!

You can't upgrade :(

[pikachu010101]

I dont think it's worth getting half life 2 through steam because you dont really get the original cd and it wont make you a happy that you have the original. you'll only have access to the download of the game. Well i pre-ordered half life 2 about seven months ago and I hope it comes today with my next day shipping :D

[mick0142]

i did ^

[SkyyPunk Veteran]

so...can us on the east coast play it sooner than the west coast?? :p

this is going to conflict with my current WoW addiction while its free....crap!

You can if youve got an ATi voucher

[DreamweaverN]

I read that the upgrade offer is over for the moment. The upgrade should be reinstated after the launch.

I can sense all the hype, but I'm lost in all this mess... Gold, Silver, Bronze, Platnum, etc. etc. what's the difference between all this? And what's the difference between HL2 and CS:S, is CS:S based on HL2? Vise versa? What's the history of Counter Strike, is it Half Life: Counterstrike 1.6, or Counterstrike: Half Life 1.6.

I'm so damn confused :blush:

Go here: http://www.steampowered.com/ for the Gold, Silver and Bronze packages.

Source is the engine that Counter Strike: Source and HL2 uses. Counter Strike 1.6 is the last release of the game. Half Life and Counter Strike are 2 seperate games. Valve has combined their resource files so that both games share it. There is no Counter Strike: Half Life 1.6....

HL2 is out now though. I picked it up at Best Buy on Saturday. The great thing is my EB Told me HL2 was coming out 11/23, and that that has been the date for the past three months. I just laughed and walked a way.
