In a new Half-Life 2 trailer (12MB), we find out that the ESRB has given Half-Life 2 a Mature rating (ages 17+) due to blood and violence. The Mature rating does not come as much of a surprise given that the original Half-Life was also given the Mature rating. A special thanks to //z38stinger for passing along word of the rating to us.

HL2 having a rating is a good sign; it means, its getting close. Of course, this is Valve we're talking about and it really means nothing, its just your imagination that I'm writing this.Comment

OMG GUYS THEY'RE PUTTING THE CDs INTO SOME TYPE OF HARD PLASTIC DEVICE! I saw a leaked picture...It looks a lot like 2 Music CDs stacked on top of eachother...but molded together. A lot like Emeror: Battle For Dune's case! OMFG DUUUUDE! And it says HALF - LIFE 2 on it!!!!! AHHH!
I'm glad people aren't documenting Newell as detailed as the game

I bet they made the decision of it being rated mature when they started making it....

Well, when DOOM 3 was getting closer to release (with in a few weeks or so) it got a rating. How can you give a game a rating at the starting of production? That seems a bit stupid. I'm sure they gave the rating when they played through a review copy of HL2. IMHO.

Wrong. NO ONE but ESRB makes the decision on what the game is going to be rated, the companies who produce it have no say in what it is.

November would be the most logical guess, that's when other big name titles are going to be released (hello Christmas). I'm suprised GTA:San Andreas has been set to be released October 26th. Why they didn't wait the extra week until November is either a really smart marketing move or a really dumb one, we'll have to wait and see.
I'm still betting on a November release for HL2.Comment

Should we start a pool? Person closest to the release date wins a prize!Comment

Yeah exactly, you can't give a game a rating that early in development, no way.

I'm up for a pool. November it is. I'm sure the RC didn't pass or it did and they're waiting for SOMETHING to announce a gold statement. But I think the first RC didn't pass.
I mean, CSS still has bugs -- bugs that really show. Unless they fixed what we found in the RC, that could of been a draw back.Comment
