See, this is why Gabe didn't tell us about the delay himself. He didn't want to be the bad guy. :p

"I know you are but what am I."

I've been bashing valve ever since they ****ed up Counter-strike (read: a long time). I said in the beginning that valve has an awful track record when it comes to release dates, and I wouldn't get all hyped up about Sept. 30th. This merely confirms it, and comes as no surprise to me.

You're right, I'm a valve fanboy. :rolleyes:
 
Hope this get your moods up a bit guys. Is it ok if I send this little dude after Gabe?
 
Why in the blue hell would this announcement be made to City17 though? Why not announce it on an official site or at least send the email to a larger website.
 
OK ALL WHO REQUESTED NUMBERS I GAVE THEM TO YOU


DO NOT PM ME ANYMORE FOR NUMBERS



DO NOT BE @&*(@$& HOLES LIKE FRAGMASTER AND SPAM HIS MACHINE WITH

"F@(@ RELEASE HL2 NOW OR DIE IM SO leet*


Or I WILL KICK YOUR ASS !!!

My, how fast this thread as grown.. someone mentions delay and it just sparks up a huge fuss over a little email someone got and posted with no direct proof from Valve themselves. The email also states it has no 'in-store' release date set, and notice that they are in quotation marks, could signal that Valve is going to try and get the game sold over Steam first. Hmm.. maybe.

There is no reason to believe anything anyone says until Valve makes a direct comment themselves, and considering we all have been prepared for such a delay why do you all rant on about it? Games delayed, so what, it will be out soon enough, maybe after nVidia and Ati have better driver support for DX9 features, or after DX 9.1 is released... Half Life 2 is done, but would you really want to play it if you can't experience it the way it's 'meant to be played'. I for one hope that it's not delayed to long, but until it's out I have many other games (not as good probably) to play and enjoy.. For now, I am outta here and will return when confirmation of a release date is set. This forum is too crowded with whiners and complainers who can't see that there is more too life and video games then one measely freaking delay.

a little whiny, but I agree.... The steam release could still be a go...OR...the steam release is delayed, but the instore copies are a go.

Because someone spoofed it (damn it I will believe that until I die...) and they are being played for fools.

EXACTLY why it's suspicious

A single e-mail was probably sent to a lot of people, not just City17.

can you prove this? im not in denial. im just a logical man i need proof so i can rest easy
 
Someone respectable call him and confirm this bullshit. He probably would appreciate it.
 
the time for the annoucement is too weird..
the source isn't all too reliable
the media that the source got it through it unreliable (email that can easily be faked)
its very very very close to the 30th
why bump it all the way to end of 2003
 
Calling a game developer as a fanboi is worse than calling up a girl and not answering after she says hello.
