HL2 Preload

[Cpt.Foley]

What is it.Will steam owners be getting HL2 or will it be certian people pleas reply.

 

[un0x]

The people willing to buy HL2 using steam will be preloading the game..

 

[ZombieBudgie]

...by adding the files that aren't going to change to their computer in a non-playable form. When HL2 is released and you've payed, the game is unlocked.

No... you forgot to mention 'I THINK' before everything... What you said is speculation and speculation alone. Unless you have proof that is how I will regard your statement. Good day. :cheers:

Thats the same thing you said a couple of days ago... don't forget. :O

That's pretty much as much proof as you can get... granted, it could be a lie...

Oh, THANK YOU Mr. I'll-ruin-everyone's-fun!
...sorry. :|

 

[Some_God]

What... you are telling me you TRUST Valve with release dates?

 

[Koffern]

1)does anyone know the price, and will it be cheaper then buying it in a shop?

2)
over steam will you be able to d/l hl2 with "all" mods (such as HLsource, CSsource ect..)?

Thanks for all help ( havent been able to keep up with HL2 lately)

 

[JackKerouac]

1. Both are retail price so that Valve doesnt upset sierra or rather its parent company now that sierra is closed down

2. Yes, Either through seperate downloads, or collector edition i believe

 

[Koffern]

thanks...

wow....we are getting close now, i can feel it

Edit: nice ComradeBadger, i'll read it for sure when it comes up
(btw, hope you talk about it on the first page (halflife2.net) because on this forum thing goes so fast, and I dont hvae the time to check more that once a day...

 

[ComradeBadger]

You don't pay for pre-loading.

Myself and Chris_D are working on a FAQ, which should adress a lot of these questions

 

[skrip00]

wait, can i still get a HL2 CD on sept 1st?

 

[ComradeBadger]

Yes, you may still purchase a HL2 CD when it comes out
