HL2 boxes: new pic?

[@bel]

i'm not if this has been posted yet, but this website has some info on the half-life2 boxes. the article includes this pic, which i haven't seen before:

i'm not shure what language it's in. maybe someone could translate this? thanks!

(if this HAS been posted, just say so and i'll delete it.)

It's been posted before. Apparently it's German. It's just for display purposes. With any luck, the real packaging won't look that lame.
And it is most certainly lame.

 

[@bel]

no it's not german. well i'll delete this then... :?
BTW, i don't think it's THAT bad...

Hopefully they'll decide on something more similiar to the original HL boxes for the sequel, maybe featuring the HL2 symbol in a central position, on an orange background.

Ermm how will we see the HL2 logo if the background is orange?

 

[@bel]

You guys are aware the HL2 packaging was on show at E3, aren't you?

Posted 3-4 times, just a crappy preview box that they always have a EB. As was stated, the box art was shown already at E3.

The retail box (comes in 4 different variations) looks awesome.

Who cares ffs its just a box! you'll just stow it on a shelf and forget it about it the moment you pop the cd in the comp...

 

[LoneDeranger]

Can somebody post the pic with the 4 boxes? I can't find it now.

These were mock ups made by the Valve team and may also not represent the final box art. I hope they keep these ones, but obviously they'll have Sierra and Valve on them etc. I really like them. I prefer the character ones over the silver one, but I believe the silver one is going to be the Ltd edition.
