HL2 Release Candidate Created 20 years ago2004-09-17 10:27:53 UTC by DieparBaby

For those of you who don't yet know (how could you not?), the release candidates for
Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life: Source were send to Valve's
publisher, Vivendi, on Sept 15. Vivendi will now test and look for show stopping bugs.
If all goes well, HL2 could go gold within a week or two. Once it goes gold then its
up to Vivendi to decide when it will be released.

Check the news here -> http://www.halflife2.net

Let's pray it'll actually come out this time.

LOL

A news release from eurogamer:

..the game could be on track to ship in early November - possibly November 5th in the UK and the 2nd in the US..

I double-checked and they were, indeed, talking about the year 2004.

supposley the 30th. sure...

lol I think people completely forgot my post a while ago! Look at major stores (US) like bestbuy.com and EB.com - both say its coming out Nov. 4

Everytime someone says this, Half-Life 2 will automatically be delayed by a minute. Beware.

You know I kinda believe that lol!

The issue I have is that there's two different theory's and there a whole month apart. I have never actually figured this all out myself, the gaming websites say Nov.4 and I kept hearing Sept.30 from no where. ONCE again, I hear 2 different stories to this. I am having some trouble beliving that it comes out on the 30th though.

BTW, when it "goes gold" does that mean we can get a copy of it? lol

Nobody will play cs2! How different can it be from 1! They will probably just include a few new weapons and have maps de_dust and de_dust2. Because thats the only maps anyone ever plays anymore.

And there's no such thing called CS2, or counter-strike 2, or whatever.
There's vids and screens from de_aztec, so you just stfu n00b.

Because thats the only maps anyone ever plays anymore.

Lame.

...st!

Counter-Strike: Source... that's indeed what it's called.

And when you've browsed trough some more screenshots, you would've seen there are more levels than just dust or aztec...

yah, i was bout to say that CP...

Half-Life 2 is now being advertised on GameSpy.

I hate cs now. It pisses me off evertime I see it. I just think they should have 'The Specialists Source', now that'd be pretty decent.

I really don't get why everyone hates cs... theres absolutly nothing wrong with it. Other than the fact that there is round playing and a buy system, its almost no different than HLDM. Now people will say, I dont like HLDM, but you don't sit there dissing HLDM do u? I really wish that normal cs would have a single player though, it would be so much cooler.

The thing is, it's not meant to be a deathmatch. You're meant to use tactics. Watch the best clans playing for money, that's what CS is meant to be.

"According to Eurogamer.net, upon yesterday confirming that Half-Life 2 (and also Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life: Source) had been sent to Vivendi for release candidate testing, they also managed to get some information from Doug Lombardi regarding the release date:

We don't have a release date from VU at this time, but we're hoping they will put out a release date soon.

And of course, why wouldn't it be soon? Valve are reknowned for their perfection when producing games, something that's clear from the six year development cycle to get us Half-Life 2. With Half-Life taking a mere 48 hours from release candidate stage to going gold, it's pretty clear that we're on the final stretch and the waiting game is nearly over."

CAN YOU FEEL IT BABY! YEA BABY YREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!1!111!!!!

BRING IT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!"!

...cs still sucks balls though, I hate it.

I like all HL mods and go through cycles of them, i played lots of CS, then TS, then Sven co-op now onto DOD.
