I am mass pissed because I bought Hl2 CE from Ebgames.com and they dont have any info on the CE pack. Do you think hl2 will make a release in october, you do you really think its november?

 

[toxikneedle]

i personally wanted the combine shock stick....... that works MUHAHAHAHAHA

 

[slider3005]

early november if it is.

 

[Ownzed]

JEEEZ! All of this is making me want HL2 more!(I don't see how it's possible)

Same. I also think it would be rather handy to have HL2 on DVD, as opposed to CD.

I'm pretty sure you have to purchase the huge book seperately.

T-Shirt?!?! i hope that is not the big surpirse valve talked about for us in the CE, but everything else sounds pretty cool

 

[UKchaos2]

Also, we havent hear much about 'non-lethal' ways of dealing with enemies before now.

 

[Empty_Clip???]

i know theres probably some rather large geeks on this forum, but who the ****s gunna walk around wearing a half life 2 t shirt

The other day i saw a kid wearing a red faction 2 shirt

I doubt there will be a non-lethal way.. even the stunstick will kill most probably...

I do not believe this for one second.

That would be so damned dissapointing. A crummy video, and more waiting?

I will bet $10 right now that TF2 is the suprise.

Doug Lombardi has already said that they would start talking more about TF2 once HL2 and css where out the door.

 

[ailevation]

The mother****ing surprise is a god damned coupon for free ice-cream that you can get from Dairy Queen, with a BIG "Thank You, for waiting impatiently for Half Life 2 - Best regards, Gabe."

 

[cadaveca]

was the esrb rating there before?

 

[f|uke]

Doug Lombardi has already said that they would start talking more about TF2 once HL2 and css where out the door.

But thats what makes it a suprize!

I read somewhere that either Doug or Gabe has said that the suprise has a "2" in the title.

lol i think you might of been dreaming, they never said a "2" would have to do with the suprise. If anything they have said they are keeping a few suprises held back until the game is released. There is absolutely no way TF2 is the MP with HL2. As much as we all want to believe they would ship HL2, HL:S, CS:S, and TF2 for $50...uh no. The most we will get is a trailer of it on the EXTRAS part of the disc, which would be very wise of valve to do IMP, and hopefully they will. Now as for MP stuff, im sure there is a themed MP, why wouldn't there be.

 

[UKchaos2]

A trailer is likely, they put hl2 trailers on the CS:CZ disks.

Does anyone know ANY UK sites that offer Half Life 2 Collector Edition. I am sure there are loads of people out there with the same question as me. But it can never get answered. The only sites i know are american ones. Not fair for UK games alike. :angry:

 

[Kazuki_Fuse]

- Free Limited Edition T-shirt – Offered in men’s size XL only

Bloody Hell Valve! Us nerds aren't all fat y'know!?! What about guy's like me? There's heaps of us, skinny tall nerds, I don't want a mumu as a t-shirt. I want a small to medium! SMALL TO MEDIUM DAMNIT!!! GAAAAAAA!

 

[czrsink]

The surprise is, there is no spoon.

I think everyone will be disappointed with this so called 'surprise', I have no doubt in my mind it will be something really useless, like 'Half Life 2 - Deleted Scenes: Xen. 15 maps that were cut from HL2 when we realised no-one wanted to ever go back to Xen again'

Perhaps...

ahahahaha.

you know (random valve employee, i hope you come across this), if they DID that, i'd forgive them for the entire year and a half (hopefully no more...) of waiting.

that's ice cream for you.

I've been searching and I couldn't find any. I'm hoping that they start to list it soon. A respresentative from Gameplay actually said that it was coming out in the UK, but he said that over a year ago.

I actually e-mailed Amazon, Game.uk.com and Gameplay.co.uk about it. Only Amazon replied and their reply wasn't helpful.

I've searched our retail catalogue, but the item you asked about is not currently listed.

You could also search our Auctions (http://s1.amazon.co.uk/exec/varzea/subst/home/home.html/) or zShops (http://s1.amazon.co.uk/exec/varzea/subst/home/fixed.html/) sites to see if anyone is selling a copy of "Half-Life 2 - Collector's Edition" there.

EDIT: Here's the post from a year ago saying the UK will have the Collector's edition:

You know what I would want to have in my box, and not just the CE? A letter, written by Valve themselves. That would be nice.

 

[czrsink]

In the UK, there was only one retailer (and they were on-line) that had the Special Edition of UT2004, hopefully, the same won't happen with Half Life 2.

amen.

...or, if you bought it on steam, a letter mailed to you! now that'd be nice!!

Where can we get it in the UK then ?! Anybody got any ideas ?!
