Cant say I'm a big fan of steam (prefer not to have steam installed) but If i have to have it installed to play hl2 then so be it...
I might even get to like it :cheese:
LOL im not a fanboy and I do accept that it might not get released on the 30th... that's why i used the word IF and not WHEN in my post above... I think you should read posts more carefully in the future!
yep, I second that... doesnt really matter to me though, I'll just dl hl2 off steam.... would like to have boxed version though, but you never know... it might come out on the 30th in the uk but i doubt it.
EVERY PC game i have ever looked forward to playin (which is a lot) has been released (well, not actually released... more like put on the shelf) on a friday in the UK, you pop into your local eb in the uk and ask what new PC games are coming out that week then ask them what day and they'll...
for £100 I'm hoping hl2 will come with a new pc for that kinda money... :cheese:
most ive paid for a ce game was £60 and I had to get it from US so add xtra money on top for vat/delivery to UK :(
Hmm i would say so, I'd try and get a cheap 9800/9800pro if i was you!!
I've got a 9700pro which came with my pc and I wont upgrade until i need to or until a gcard comes out which really overshadows the 9700pro performance wise.... until that day comes I'm keeping my little friend... the...
Lol, I gotta laugh a bit when i read this thread ..... :laugh:
maybe cs will be released with hl2
maybe tf2 will be released with hl2
maybe a completely new amazing mp mod will be released with hl2
maybe, just maybe hl2 will be enough on its own???
I mean, wont halflife2 be enough...
oki, I just got a pretty new pc, will halflife 2 run at 1280x1024 with all settings maxed out with this setup?.....

maybe the combine gas masks they wear are to stop headcrabs jumping on their face and sucking out their brains and turning them into mindless zombies!!!
anyone ever thought of that?? eh, eh good eh??? :D
lol, I'm gettin hl2 via steam if it's delayed, which is the same date as the US one... no biggy!! :bounce:
if the retail version is delayed, and you want it really badly, just download with steam :cheese:
LOL......
I think Kamakiri is pretty famous since he sent his email to gabe..
just like to say thanx to Kamakiri :cheers:
It's spread like wildfire across the net and, if it wasn't for Kamakiri sending the email in the first place we would not know about all this info surrounding steam...
I might go for the steam subscription if all you pay for hl2 in the 1st month is $10 to start with, I mean, peeps will be buying it out of stores for $40-$50? while others are getting it for $10 (i know, $10 is ongoing).... so you are saving money right off the bat if you go with steam...
