The Release Of Half Life2


Recommended Posts

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...!

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.

Is that official?

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

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!

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

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.

    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
