Let us hope Vivendi likes what they see (and plays with their horribly greesy, nacho cheese covered and Mountain Dew crusted fingers whilst laughing hysterically like madmen drooling left and right as millions upon millions of us still wait anxiously and also fall victim to being witnesses of certain bulges appearing in Vivendi's pants).

It seems disconcerting how many pre release stages there are in software that are being exposed to the consumer. We used to have only 'beta', but now you can get beta, Preview Release, and Release Candidate versions of software. It's enough to make one's head spin.



This almost seems like a 'to get everyone off our backs about this thing, we're announcing something that no one normally announces.' Then again, the Half-Life 2 story has been undoubtedly the most interesting and drama filled road to completion - I'd really like to read a non-publisher affiliated post-mortem on it (very unlikely though.) Still, this 'RC' nonsense belongs in-house and not in the news.

There has always been release Candidates.



HL-1 made it gold withen 2 days after they sent a RC to the publisher.

Valve has very highstandards to bugs ect... With the CS:S beta they have had a chance to test alot of things with the public. Serious things such as the engine ect...



I think HL2 will make it in ONE release candidate. If so, we should be seeing HL2 on store shelves most likly by the end of the month at MAX.



I think they will hit Sep 30th as a cruel joke :P

Test the game, copy the master numerous times to forfill all the pre-orders and in store buys THEN deliver them all?



Doubt it.

Isnt CS:S a mod? Why does it need to be accepted by Vivendi?

[:.:.:]

I doubt vivendi will reject the games

I mean even if it's filled with bugs or suggestions that haven't been actually incorporated into the game, that's what steam is for, to add content and fix bugs after having sold a bazillion copies. They did it with CZ, they'll probably do it with HL2 and CS:S

I guess it only helps to get the game in our hands faster :|

(FRUSTRATION!!!!!) Forget sending it to Vivendi, Just peddle it on the corner using paper bags instead of jewel cases... i want Half life2 now!!!



p.s. you can write the game manual on a napkin and stick it in the bag...then charge $40 for it...

Thats why publishers have masses of machinery. It is very possible to reach the deadline, but unlikey that they will. I reckon early october.

My pants are moist with anticipation!

Because it's the official multiplayer for Half-Life2, it'll be advertised on the box, unlike the original Half-Life with the original CS because it was made later.

Some things are possible for some game companies, but clearly impossible for Valve... when i say "some things" i mean ONE RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!!!

[Some_God]

My pants are moist too... but don't be happy yet. You're happieness will get pwned by Vivendi when they reject the RC. :)

It wouldn't surprise me if this is a hoax again!
