HL2 Release Date Tidbit

[d8cam]

I am going to make this short.

Go here:

http://www.ati.com/gitg/index.html

Click on "March" and then look to the right of the word "March:"

Now, this is the part where you hit reply and flame me since this was posted 22 years ago.

oooooh I see it!

Controversial!

You're looking at it backwards, GITG was started in October (launch event, big thing was ATI/VALVe partnership, aka HL2). Those images make up a circle, and March is the latest date in it. Therefore, start = october, end = march, circle = march next to october! TADA!

Whatever but MUNRO Post this on the front page quick before someone else in another forum beats us!

This is very interesting!



Getting excited again!

how is this news? READ MY POST! The month has an HL2 logo since GITG was launched back in October. That month navigation represents a circle, and March and October are at the start and end of the circle, therefore they're next to eachother.

True Shuzer. Nevermind.

The file was made in 2003, look at the copyright date on the bottom left. This means the october in that list is oct 2003, when HL2 was supposed to be out.
The March in that list is march 2004, see? It's a *gasp* timeline from oct-2003 to march-2004!


EDIT: ie. what shuzer said

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]
