Hmm media

[dk_bot]

Ok I have been thinking about the media situation, origanally new or better quality media was going to be released for us the fans to view on the day Monday.

As we all know this did not happen they delayed it to Tuesday, no new media, they dellayed to thursday, no new media, they delayed to friday, no new media.

Now they are saying it will be out next week some time probally next monday?

Whats going on are they stuggling that much to produce media or are they too busy working on the game??

it all makes me think about will they be able to stick to the origanal release date of Sptember 30th 03.

If any one can help me to understand wtf is going on it would be nice.

argg,,

i dislike people with these posts!!

have a little faith!! it's just stupid media.

There testing STEAM that's why it's delayed, as if it mathers.. stupid media, i want the game!

 

[SD1]

actually i think we are VERY close to the media for these reasons:

1) Steam has been officially released.
2) All the steam servers are now online.
3) They have many many more steam servers
4) The main steam website boasts about New HL2 media coming soon.

They'll be released on Monday so al lthe big gaming sites can share the load too.

there you have it!! steam wasn't even official made public yet, so how could people start downing this media. Valve knows what it's doing, and i have full trust in STEAM to.

LOOK around the forum, there are many, many topics that pose this question. Please, just think before you post.

It's on IRC.

#steam-hangout on Gamesnet.

2) All the steam servers are now online.

Actually not all are online if you go to status and look at the numbering there are major gaps ie jumps from content server 7 to 13 im guessing that when they do activate them all we will be looking at something like 1500-2000mbps to play with.

 

[FISKER_Q]

All servers will be 50Mbit minimum(stupid minimum actually, they should start at the T3 lines which is 43,xxxMbit). But they do it elsewhere, i think its just deleted servers that wouldnt serve anymore, and to keep it in the database they merely just hid it and skipped a number.

#steam-hangout is not an official channel so why would trust the topic??

oh the drama...

look what waiting for media has done to you all...heh.

the media will be here when steam can handle it...i think if they had tried to release it and everyone's steam had crashed, we would all be complaining quite a bit eh? so just give them a break and stop worrying about it...

 

[LoneDeranger]

BTW, they keep adding new servers. This one just appeared:

CONTENT SERVER 21 - ?

I think the magic number they are shooting for is 1000.00 Mbps of AVAILABLE capacity. Right now they are at 843.51Mbps

 

[DimitriPopov]

Last night they were at 1150 or something similar.

Not total capacity. They are at 1150 now. They need 1000 of available capacity.

 

[Joeyslucky22]

That's what I'm thinking...which is why I think the Media will be out on Tuesday (just because Monday is kind of the "bleh...another work week" day.
