    HL2 Web Article

    Saw over at ShackNews that Half-Life 2 has been given the preview treatment over at money.cnn.com. Here's a tidbit of the preview which is filled with many quotes:
    One of Half-Life's most popular mods was "Team Fortress Classic". VALVe was so impressed with the game, it bought the rights and began working on "Team Fortress 2". But there haven't been any updates on the game since 1999.



    There still aren't. But Newell did say "After we finish the announcement process for Half-Life 2, we will provide an update on Team Fortress 2."



    The expectations among gamers for "Half-Life 2" are incredibly high -- which might explain why VALVe has kept its corporate mouth shut -- even though it has been working on the game since it shipped the first "Half-Life" in 1998. If there's one lesson other developers have learned the hard way, it's that too much hype can crush a game before it even launches.
    The rest of the article is informative if you haven't been reading all those magazine scans and such. The images are clear, but I don't know if the first image is a render or not as it certainly looks like one.



    What's funny and very ironic given some of the idiotic and baseless rumors of a certain website is that Half-Life 2 will be shown at the ATI graphics booth during E3 (mailbag).

    Halflife 2 will be at the ATI?! BOOTH!?!?



    ---- WHAT?!?!



    so the old rumor of the Nvidia special stuff is not true?



    and in fact if anything ATI will be better for Halflife.



    * WOW -- I FEEL GREAT -- I get the specials when I buy my new Radeon 9500 Pro ... mmm mmm good



    --- I can't wait for HL 2 now for sure --- OH GOD!!!

    OOOOOOOOO AHHHHHHHHH!!



    anyways -- that sounds sweet. -- and -- Everyone should go see the Movie - Phone Booth -- starring Colin Farrel ... (I think thats spelled right) ----- I think it's a GREAT freakin MOVIE!! WOOOO

              i doubt it, you might need to upgrade...smart house



              i really hope the TF2 announcement is that it will be shipped with HL2, although i have a feeling it will be revieled as a later release date

                  You should have just saved your money and got a Ti4400 in stead of the Ti4800SE 8X AGP offers no performance benefits to NV25 or NV17

                    Looks like Activision got the boot for the biggest VALVe game yet.

                            Ha ha ha haz! I meant all of the separate editions since there are three of them and of course the expansions.
