HL2 Officially Delayed

[CSN NewsBot]

Steve from Shacknews is running word from Doug Lombardi of VALVe Software that Half-Life 2 has been delayed:

The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific "in-store" date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.

We're very glad all this release date nonsense is over with and think VALVe should have confirmed this earlier. I'm just kidding! I personally think that delays might be able to help the game be that much better. Here's a Counter-Point about delays.

Yay holidays! Sell it like hot cakes! *continues to gobble money* teeheet

[XTRMNTR]

Well, they are waiting for bigger and badder video cards to come out so the FPS won't be so bad...



Games do sell better around the holiday season.



And Halo comes out this month.



So maybe it's a good thing.

[RaptorRage]

Then as soon as it is available those that were whining about the delay for HL2 will rush out and gobble them up from the shelves and proclaim how great the game and Valve are.



Hypocrisy is fun eh.
