Yeah...thanks, Spitty. I was thinking of posting a similar link (via blues). Release is scheduled for 2004...or before DNF (heh). In terms of graphics, it will be revolutinary, but the gameplay will be fairly basic. HL2 has the one-two punch of revolutionary graphics AND gameplay. Of...

I second this. Curious that there is an Irish slight on the MAC thread. (Yeah, I know the difference btn Mc and Mac)

They are excellent for graphic design and layouts. That's it. If you want to play games, get a pc.

Nothing gets the board together faster than a crowd of whiny MAC users. No offense, but it's the truth. If you want to play games on your computer get a PC. If you have a highend MAC, then no doubt you have some sort of emulator. Use it.

I second that. If you want to play games on your computer...get a pc. Period.

Hold in there, buddy! Seven more days and we'll know for certs.

I'm not sure this nuance has been covered or not. It >would< make sense though. If true, I'm sticking with plan B: suscribe to the steam version until the special edition comes out on the shelves. Plan A, of course, is that it will be on US shelves on the 30th and I buy the thing...

It's just the promo box...not the real box. Old news.

True. Supply photo and you will be a hero.... hopin'.

HL2 will eventually be on console systems... It would be a wise move to widely advertise the initial pc release to build future demand for the console versions.

To people who already know about and will most likely buy the game. If you were a money making company, like Valve, wouldn't you want the maximum amount of people buy your product? If you just rely on your existing customers, you're missing out on the possibility of acquiring a substantially...

I'm coming up to Ant Lyin' myself...

True, true, true. It SHOULD have a GTA: Vice City sized promotion.

Plainly said, it would be idiotic not to advertise the game. Sure, we'll all buy it (in one form or another), but to sell a million+ copies, they have to get the word out to the mass of population that's starved for entertainment. For movies, did the Matrix advertise despite nearly...

They won't have the foggiest.

I admit, I'm getting pretty nervous. The closer we get to the 30th with no press release or any real information, the less likely it is that the game is on time. Only eight days though....perhaps they will pull the rabbit out of the hat after all. And my hard drive crashed.

I will acquire HL2 as soon as it is legally available.

Me too. I'm definately willing to shell out ten bucks to play HL2 before it's released in stores. If looks like it won't come down to that for folks here in the states though.

No. On shelves on the 30th. It sounds like Valve has no control over the shelf release dates for the UK and Europe (and guessing the rest of the world outside the US). From what I can gather (uh), they are aiming for the 30th as the U.S. shelf release date. They are also offering it via...

On the button, spitty. Great marketing tactics. I thought we'd start seeing advertising pumped up by now though.
