Top Ten Reasons why hl2 was delayed.



10. Development team still too wrapped up in the Bennifer saga to work.



9. Strider unions demanding a 50 percent pay raise and a piece of the back end profits.



8. President Bush needs Source engine to solve that Iraq problem.



7. Gordon Freeman is on his training regimen for the next Tour de France.



6. Barney running for governor of California.



5. Valve dumps Half-Life 2 for Sniper 2.



4. Still looking for that one guy in Peoria who hasn’t seen the E3 demo movie.



3. Making sure that Half-Life 2 port for the Commodore 64 will work right.



2. Realized they can’t compete with the excitement of that $100,000 episode of Trading Spaces.



And the number one reason why Half-Life 2 has been delayed by Valve...



1. Decided to wait until after the release of Duke Nukem Forever.

[Lestat]

de_railroad was pure entertainment... nothing like dueling drivebys on trains...

9. Wasted 300 development hours catapulting sheep.

That list is actually from Valve, when the original was delayed. (see PHL)



But who here remembers the game number 9 on the list refers to? Most of you lot are only 11 or 12 years old if I remember correctly and won't have a clue.

[Macer]

I changed it, see? lol, i mixed up the 2 lists.



But the hl list for hl2 is still ROOFLEZ

[Bullit0r]

Hexen 2 was it? D:

[Pharlap]

davej,

your new cobble is great :) love the new lighting and architecture. before i really hated cbble for its ''not related to cs" theme, but it looks fabulous!



hexen2 was a cool game. and which post is that referring to?

[MrFelix]

yeah it was hexen 2; the menu lags my puter though cus of leet hi-res low-optimisation funky overlay dotty digital shit. works fine on my p133/voodoo2 tho cus of leet 3dfx.

wtf is the Bennifer saga?

[Pharlap]

i had hexen on my p100. and running it at 400x300 was a dream! it looked amazing. running at ~20-30fps.



but heretic and hexen 1 were also damn fun games. such a dark and brooding atmosphere.

[|cyborg|]

Holy shit that was a suttle way to tell me hl2 is delayed, reading threw the morning bits, then at the very end it says half life 2 is delayed. SHOCK
