[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread

[Kupo-Cheer]

Found from countless threads being spammed on the steampowered.com forums:

A link to this particular thread I found it in: http://www.steampowered.com/forums/showthr...threadid=172895

This guys asking for it to be unlocked through steam now since the street date has apparently been broken, but I doubt they will with just a few days left till its release.

im right there with you man :cry: :cry: :cry: * touches the screen*

[Cygnuz-Y]

Yeah valve is not going to break the release date, anyways inly 4 more days :devil:

[OrangesOfCourse]

please tell me that the DVD version comes in a proper case... :|

[Kupo-Cheer]

Ironically I don't think he can even play it still since it needs to be activated through steam I'm pretty sure, and that activation wont be allowed till the actual release date. Still, what I wouldn't give for a copy of Half-Life 2 in my hands right now :( ...

We'll know if this is true if it gets leaked onto the internet. I'm sure if it's true it'll be out very, very shortly as Steam is hysterically easy to crack. Or so I heard.

Well if it does get out early through leaks then it wont be the first time anyway at least, plus its only a few short (long?) days till the real release.

4 more days you say? Where was it released already? AHH I WANNA PLAY!

[Chode]

Isn't HL2 meant to be 6 cd's, not 5?

[RGSPro]

:woot: ive been waiting years for this... :cry:

I remember the time of the leak, i wrote an article that got deleted on accident by a crappy host I had at the time. I recently found it on archive.org. Check out what it was like if your in the mood for a peak.

Just hope my PC doesn't screw itself in the next 4 days.. i've had a cached copy of HL2 on there for too long now for it to start acting up ;)

Yeah, I just noticed that too. Well, theres still a chance that its a fake anyway. Looking at the picture again I realize that every component of that could have been faked.

[stevonw]

is there not a DVD version because why have 6 Cd's when you could have 1 DVD?????

Almost everyone has a DVD-Rom/DVD-RW would it save them money because they only need 1 Disc or give the option for a DVD Version or the 6 Cd version????

[acidic-e-]

Notice the name of the image? hl2installing. Maybe that 6th cd is actually in his cd rom being installed?

Maybe if they enhance the reflection of his face off the monitor. :ninja:

[Aviator747]

The non collectors edition is on DVD too. Thats what I am getting from EB games. I rather it over the 6 cd version. ;)

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

All that thread possibly proves on the steam forums, and this picture for that matter, is that this guy, and possibly some other guy (they say there is another thread at rage3d although you cannot get to it atm), have the game in their possession.

They are probably both workers from EBgames or something, who thought they would get themselves some attention and/or stir up some controversy by posting pics. I hardy consider this the street date being broken.

Just my opinion. nothing less. nothing more.

A few more days.. ^________^

[r4esh]

So the game is still being released nov. 16? no sooner?

[TogaForComfort]

Doesn't matter, it has to be activated over Steam. And yes im sure it can be hacked but all it takes is a steam update and the hack is null and void

[TheLegendOfMart]

incorrect, the hacked version of CS:S uses a steam emulator, can do the same thing with HL2, since it uses the same engine/calls
