Valve will deliver the finished game to Vivendi Universal within a few weeks. However, Vivendi is telling us that they hope to have the game on the store shelves by the fall.

Any future "potential release date" should be titled a "potential delay date"!

not the point...This is still very disappointing news. It could be a blessing in disguise. On a positive note it gives me more time to upgrade my box.

And they will, but I'm gonna buy it in stores so I can have a CD, case, and manual instead of having to use a bandwidth-clogging download and glorp up more harddrive space.

id rather purchase it. as Uranium said itll clog up less hardrive space and youll get a handbook manual, and ull have the cd, just incase it somehow uninstalls magically or glitches. I prefer to buy my gameswith the box.


Anyhow im glad its not comming out this summer, cause then id be going out less and staying inside playing it all summer :p , and ruining a summer of crazy graduation parties would be bad <_< .

But if anything though, it POSSIBLY could be a terrorist attack and they h4xed Valves news and made their own!. I mean if you read it backwards it says " We rule the world, you all shall die, bow down to the llama of dewm.

God forbid that any information reguarding HL2 is posted on the Offical HL2 website. Such as the news that the arrests were made on the code thieft, HL2 being shipped off to Vivendi or the HL Radio interview not posted there. But I guess that would require that Vavle be on top of its game. Which is not only never happened and will most likely never happen, but it's a gawd damn joke when they claim to be.

/me storms off in a violent fury that he has been in for the past week or so...  :angry:  <_<

[edit] I'm pissed off because i check the hl2 website under the presumption that they will post things that are relevant to the game to keep the commuity informed. but as i stated above that's a joke. I would have liked to have listened to the radio interview or what it was, just for the sake of listening, but you know... valve refuses to be on top of their game... [/edit]

Well, it seems that the radioshow is doing reruns Sunday and Monday.  Unfortunately, most of the radioshow is filled with fluff.  Although they do review games, after listening for 3 hours I have yet heard any of this HL2 news.
