Episode 1 Site Launched

[CSN NewsBot]

I told you that media blitz would just keep on rolling strong! The official website for HL2: Episode 1 has launched today! Featuring a number of screenshots, background information, information on pre-ordering, and a bit about the episode itself.

Half-Life 2: Episode One is the first in a series of new adventures created by Valve that extend the Half-Life 2 single player experience. It details the aftermath of Half Life 2 and launches a journey beyond City 17.



Stepping into the hazard suit of Dr. Gordon Freeman, you face the immediate repercussions of your actions in City 17 and the Citadel. Rejoin Alyx Vance and her robot, Dog, to once again aid the human resistance in their desperate battle against the totalitarian alien menace of the Combine.

It should be noted that you will not need the original Half-Life 2 to play, it will come with both HL2: Deathmatch and HL1 Deathmatch: Source, and will have a price tag of $19.95 (with a 10% reduction for pre-orders once they begin).

Well this is good news. I wonder if there will be another easter egg hunt?

They did have an actual pre-order ready page if you went here:

The page that's there now was quickly put up to hide the page with the "Pre-Order Now" button.

Some other notes of interest from the website:

• Four million copies of HL2 sold worldwide
  
  
• "In Half-Life, the G-Man made you. In Half-Life 2, he used you to defeat Dr. Breen and start the Resistance. In Episode One, he's lost control."

... I love it.
