What is a pre-loading of hl2? And when does it OFFICIALLY come out (in stores)? I heard september 30th somewhere but it seems a little soon if its already on the my games list.

Pre-Loading means basically a encrypted version of the full game - you have it, but you cant play it.

Damn those incredibly bad Steam servers!
Whenever I try to register a CD-Key or play, which I still can't, they're always busy!
I can't even pre-load it! To busy my a**! If you made a program thats supposed to work, then make it work proprely damnit!

Yeah for me the servers were busy but every minute I tried again and after like 5 minutes (NOT A HOUR) I got it going. IT takes like an hour and a half- two hours to download using broadband so its worthless without it.
What do I need to buy a cd-key to activate it? This is preety blunt asking this but doesn anyone know a way to unlock it (pirate basically)? I would buy the real copy for sure cause I need a cd, but I (like us all) are dying to play it lol

As for what I've heard, these pre-loading files only contain the souncs and some other resources. Whether that's true or not, I don't think it's the full game yet.
And to continue, it seems to be possible to preload HL2 and activate it with the CD-key you bought in a store. So instead of having to wait for the install, you can start playing immediatly...
But, that's just how I understand it so far.

Thanks for that, Captain. Useful as I don't trust Steam any more than I can, uh, think of a decent comparison.
Apparently Steam's going gold on Monday.

DAMN THAT HACKER! You don't know how excited I got when I heard that! I guess I'll just have to hunt down that hacker and kill him. Sigh, Sept.30 is just so far away.
Does anyone know where the official release date is said? Like the website its on? I would like to see it.

Honestly, I don't care about a release date. I care about the actual release. Since that pre-loading stuff I feel it's pretty close. A few months maybe, who knows. It doesn't matter. I can wait.

Post #55069
It sux for me because all I can get is a really crappy graphics card due to me not having an AGP slot (or w/e it is). But I can deal with only have 30fps with hl2 (based on the cs:s video stress test).

Get a new PC or all-new components (new mobo for AGP + new graphics card, you'd almost certainly have to get new RAM and a new CPU).

I know, I've been in the same position several times but that's the only way you'll be able to get AGP support, a new mobo, and that'll probably require the rest.
I had to save up for about half a year for my current stuff, that's just the components mentioned above, with two paper rounds, when I was just turning fifteen (sixteen today! w00t).

Valve are such idiots. preloading is a BAD IDEA.

Preload - go to store - lookit game box/break it - steal cd key - go home - pley.Really? Once the person that buys that box finds out it's already in use, he'll contact Valve, and since only he has the box and a sales coupon, he'll get to play the game. Sure, that takes some time but after all, stealing a CD-key isn't going to get you the game for long... It'd be annoying if that happens though.

Seventh, u think Im made of money?! Im 14 for christs sake!Then you aren't even allowed to play Half-Life!
I guess you'll need some patience... hey, after all, I didn't play HL when it was first released, I was only 13 then. I played it about 2 years later...
