My friend thinks I'm bsing:

Did HL not get delayed a full year, and have about as much of a hype behind it that hl2 has compared to now?

You can delete this after answered, just need to prove something.

Yes it did, find that gamespot article about "the final days".

I wouldn't say it had as much hype behind it as HL2, but yes. It was a very hype-worthy game and did indeed get delayed a full year. Difference was, they took the year and redid the entire game, HL2 just wasn't finished.

Not as much hype, but the rest is right.

Also, some info on what happened during the year delay of HL1:
