November Release for Half-Life 2?

[CSN NewsBot]

Those over at Eurogamer have received word from UK retailers about possible Half-Life 2 release dates. They state that the game will be released November 26th in Europe, and November 23rd for the US.

The long, drawn-out Half-Life 2 release date saga appears to be drawing to a close at long last, with Vivendi-Universal Games' expected to formally announce a November 26th release date for Europe, with US gamers getting the game three days earlier on November 23rd.

Please note that these dates are not currently confirmed by either Valve or VU Games, and may be subject to change. Even though this is the case, these release dates are the most solid dates we have seen thus far.

I don't believe it... Gabe would put down his twinkie and announce it on HL2 fallout forums first damn it.

So far Valve is keeping tight lipped about this, but I have a feeling something is going on based on some other pieces of info I've heard.

Can you expand on this?

im very sure this is bs.

something going to happen and the game will just be delayed again

*fingers crossed*



On a related note: Hopefully VU can sort out the CE for the UK as well as the US. I don't want to order over steam. Not to mention I certainly don't want a 6 CD install.

Wtf? So in essence, they're releasing CS:S to make up for the 7 extra weeks we'll have to wait?

That's pretty absurd... I don't believe this, not for a second.

honestly I dont care if HL2 is pushed back, because Ill have CSS next week and HL2 will already been paid, HL2 is only a Single Player experience, I can wait.

But you've been waiting... How long do you want to wait?



All I question is the release date though (as in I don't believe Eurogamer). I don't mind too much about the waiting because I have been waiting for so long. I'm just surprised by the secrecy, the whole VALVe v Vivedi thing, and the whole lacking a solid release date still even though Vivendi has the finished product (albeit RC1).



November is going to be pretty busy anyways with Halo 2 coming out and all... I dunno even know if cs:s even interests me anymore.

[peagle]

I believe it will be this date, or at a later date. For definite.

[EvilSpleen1213]

fuck this, seriously now

[azz0r]

Ah who cares, we'll have CSS to tide us over

[Noleafclover199]

this is neat, but i really could care less, cause we are getting CSS earlyier TY ATI VOUCHER!!!

[EvilSpleen1213]

I won't...I preordered hl2 on gamestop so.....I can't even play source till then. This really sucks, sorry



And know way am I cancelling it, I want the damn box
