I think this is the last big example, that they should not give a release date at all. id Software invented the "when it's done". Screwed this politics for Doom3 and told everyone 2003 at E3. Now they pushed to 2004. Valve couldn't give a correct release date after 5 years of developement and...

after 5 years of developement they tell 1 month prior to their release date, it will be done in 30 days and 7 days before deadline they realize it's not gonna work and inform their fans. That's not very good project management if you ask me.

Gamespot, September 12. 2003: "Valve remained tight lipped about Half-Life 2's release date at this week's press event. However, Gabe Newell, Valve's founder and managing director, did note that the Half-Life 2 benchmark program will be included in the box when the software does ship and that...

@Maskirovka I think you should treat your customers with respect. Not with ignorance. But that's just my idea of end-user-communication.

@Frank: and what did you ask him? His favourite color and if he likes fluffy clouds? :)

then ask JohnC why Valve is tortureing their loyal fans. A simple "we are on track" would solve all the chaos...

download completed and i played in a new map, worked flawless...

"downloading de_vegas.wad" - works.... and it also says "STEAM IS ONLINE" strange

They are not down, here Steam works normal... just playing CS in a window *headshot* - works perfect.... even logout/login works flawless... what are these servers for of not for serving CS?

steam servers down? i can login... :dork:

and microsoft got their money from.... yeah right, their CUSTOMERS

it's about kinematics. That's something you need to know if you want to have a realistic looking behaviour of hit/shot/stabbed humanoid objects (like those marines and scientistst in HL2). Just basic researche.

next weekend I have some free time to laugh about it

It's NOT fault of Gamestar that some german kid shows their news from 8/28 as brand new stuff. Gamestar did nothing wrong.

A horrible translation :) "helped life 2" :) News that claim HL2 data will be distributed via Steam today, have not been come true until now. The "offical announcement" that was talked about also hasn't happened/is missing, too. But there are news about the planned HL2-Special-Edition...

Guten Morgen, ECTS war am 28.08.2003. Genau wie die Meldung. Good morning, ECTS was last month. This is OOOOOLD NEWS. At ECTS we heard SEVERAL times, that HL2 will be out Sept. 30. That's why all stick to this date and call it offical. But nice, that you lived under a rock for 30 days...

The release is 30/9 PST (GMT-8). In Australia (GMT+10) it's already 1/10 that time.

@jplove: The September 30th is the 30/9 at Valvesoftware in BELLEVUE WA (GMT -8, that's Pacific Standard Time) and not at the date-border on the chatham-islands in the south pacific near newzealand (GMT+13). So in Germany (GMT+1) it will be October 1st already. So it's 7 and not 6 days. Get...

Gabe said, there are nearly no scripts in hl2, all is based on the game physics and ai. I still wonder, it this statement was including the soundengine. Even the old Unreal Tournament had Doppler effects and a 3d-soundmodell. HL2 could have something even more advanced. I did not find many...

they mean: "look at city 17, we generate a new unfound rumour every day, that's how we get well known and many visitors"
