Nov 16th....the day this section goes out of control

[Alientank]

When the gold announcement was made there was a lot of excitement, I just can't wait to see the damn chaos that ensues when it's released, the mods are going to be running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to keep everything in line I will be in attendance to sit back with some popcorn and watch the forum go apeshit, filling up with identical threads rapidly :cheers: That reminds me, are we going to have a spoilers forum as well? So people can spew their shit in there about new things in the game, while keeping this section just for discussion in general.

My ass, the will be playing Half-Life 2 themselves.

 

[Direwolf]

Someone's gonna have to bite the bullet on that one.
I nominate Chris_D.

 

[63]

Nobody will be here..

 

[UmbrellaMaster]

There'll be nothing here but people that cant get the game to work, or people that can't get the game period. The chaos shall ensue 2 weeks later when people start beating it and getting tired of it.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Nobody will be here..

I agree, if anyone was smart, they'd be playing HL2 and finishing it before coming back, because you know there WILL be spoilers posted in this forum.

 

[killerteoz]

me (like all other forum member) will be occuped to play hl2...
when we will finish it there will be a lot of spoiler thread

 

[jimbones]

It will be known as "the day the internet died"..

 

[Sashswash]

Well, if there IS chaos, i doubt that there'll be too many mods here. They'll all be playing HL2!!! :thumbs:

[edit]-Actually, i bet that there's going to be ALOT of new people asking how to install, register with steam, etc...i bet that there will be FLOODS of these messages. Oh yea, and because of this, the interent will die :|

 

[Gorgon]

It will be know as "the day the internet died"..

I like that one. LOL :E

The Day the Internet is on break !!!! :imu:

 

[Foxtrot]

I think you mean when people beat the game 2 days later.

 

[Sashswash]

It will be known as "the day the internet died"..

Haha...i just want to see how Steam will handle it. I'm sure that it'll do pretty well, figuring that lots of people already have it preloaded.

 

[Gorgon]

I think you mean when people beat the game 2 days later.

yeah thats for gamers who just don't give a sh... about what Valve did put in this game from secrets, hidden locations, new technologies, physics testing, playing around with the environment.............etc

 

[CombineHarvester]

The mods should close the forum for a period of time, I dunno a few days. That way no spoilers are posted, and they get to play to their hearts content

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I'm sure after 6 hour games, we'll take a break to see whoses doing what on the forums...i'll need a break everyone does!

 

[bayaraa_us]

I wonder why Gold announcement went so quite?? As if nothing happened.

 

[PuNcH]

do it mods! this is a great idea, and no one is going to die from it being closed for a day or two.
(hint: we are sorry, forums are closed due to database error.")

WTF you KIDDDING ME? THESE BOARDS WILL BE DEAD AS A GHOST TOWN BECAUSE EVERYONE WILL BE PLAYING HL2

LOLFEZ!!

 

[Homer]

Honestly when it comes out I think I'm off this board forever. Unless I wind up on a mod team(I might do some maps for something a group of people I know is starting) I'm just gunna spend my hl2.net time playing halflife2.

 

[KurtCobain]

I think this forum should close down for 1-2 days mayb 16-17th , not fair to the mods if they have to deal with the thousands of threads that will be made

 

[Vinnie_NL]

I think that too, the mods want HL2 as much as we do and thanks to them this forum is still fairly clean from spam and lamers. So we owe it to the mods to give them a little break and close the forum. Otherwise it will be total anarchy

 

[bxstreetlife]

i can't stand it the days are running so slowly since the gold anouncement 26 more days of patience it will be a unique experience for sure...

 

[joule]

Nobody will be here..

That is what I predict, too. I won't be here for like a week or so. I will be playing all day and all night.

 

[Ghost Freeman]

November 16th sounds more like the day the whole forum gets flipped upside down, slapped around, and penetrated.

 

[Baal]

When the game is actually released, the gold section should be changed the "HL2 has been released!"

And we can proceed to go crazy.

 

[Dirtball]

That is what I predict, too. I won't be here for like a week or so. I will be playing all day and all night.

I agree I have no intentions of posting anywere for at least 24 hours. Not worth wasting time...migth post once to be like OMG mine is unlocked...but problably not.

 

[flo_Orian]

i wonder if people who have bought through steam can starting to play when http://www.forumbucket.com/hl2countdown.swf reaches zero. would be cool :E but i guess noones in valves office at that time ://

 

[cheese04]

right when i enter hl2 im going to console, and am gonna map the last level and beat it, then im gonna post a detailed analysis of the ending with all kinds of spoilers included.

 

[johnnypoopoopant]

i wont be here on the 16 im going to be too busy playing games

 

[Asuka]

I dont think there will be anyone on the forums on release day

 

[BlackMesaDude]

I will not play any other game when HL2 is released for some time nor will i visit this forum

 

[Vinnie_NL]

When I get HL2 I will first post on the forum: OMG, I f1N4LLy H4v3 T3H ULT1M4T3 G4M3!!!! , but after that I won't visit it for a few days I think.

 

[bate18]

it SHOULD be quite the contrary. i wont see these forums for a long time

 

[koopa]

The forums will be slow as hell and probably spoilered-out, so I'll skip until the madness settles down and I've finished it.

 

[BRODIEMAN2k4]

I can imagine it now


"OMG I JUST TOOK MY FIRST STEP IN HALFLIFE 2!!!111"

 

[ne0_shiny]

i wont be on this forum
ILL BE STUDYING FOR EXAMS
damn those things with their november 16th date

 

[Alientank]

Yea, I guess no one will be here. I agree with the whole "close it down for a few days" so that the mods get a chance as well. Then it keeps the spoilers down.
