Release Date

[BeaverMon]

IGN says that the game SHOULD be released around February or March of Next Year.
Linky!
It's Old News though, but it still looks pretty fresh.

"Doug suggested a February or March release date as a target, but said the company would announce a final date as soon as it has one."

[iMMuNiTy]

so Aftermath is not coming out until next year? Valve said it would come out this fall!!!

I don't think it will be released in the spring. Most likely 1 year from today

I'm glad you could join us.

 

[sxcce]

next year ,sure!

That means it WILL be released about June or so.

 

[BeaverMon]

HA! Knowing VALVe.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

The chicken guts tell me next year.

 

[supersaint]

I swear that same Amazon page said Nov 22 last week.

And DOD S is a retail product after all...

It was actually Nov 29, and they pushed back the date to Dec 20 a few days before.

 

[jmjneary]

ill be its next christmas due to hackers getting it off some valve employes e-mail then they use that as an excuse to wast more time

 

[oldagerocker]

It's not wasted time lol, they'll turn it into the best damn expansion ever.

 

[hi_ted]

My source for release dates now has a date for a DVD version of Aftermath slated for late February.

 

[supersaint]

Just goes to show, when Valve says 'estimated' release date, you can certainly take them at their word!

It's not an expansion, damn you! It's an episodic installment in an on-going series

This source being?

I didn't say it was a reliable source or anything...

Since the DVD version of Aftermath only appeared on their list a week ago, I would assume that EA gave them a reasonable estimate to go with the product details. In this case, EA believes late February is a good time to expect Aftermath to hit the shelves.

 

[el Chi]

Aaaah I see - it sounded very "insider info"
It's such a shame it's coming out through EA :|

 

[oldagerocker]

It's even more of a shame, im forced to buy the retail copy. Soon to be fixed, with steam accepting paypal/switch though

 

[el Chi]

Meh, as much as I'd like to give my money directly to Valve, I'd rather have a physical copy. Don't know why, just seems more reliable.
Lordy, I still deliver messages on stone slabs carried by gibbons.

 

[Edcrab]

Gibbons?! For god's sake el Chi, it's all about the orangutans now. Get with the times, man!

But yeah- download issues aside, I'd still prefer a hardcopy too. That's just how I am :O

 

[AfternoonLemon]

It's psychological.

My HL2 won't install from the DVD now anyway, so it's just aswell I can download it!

 

[hi_ted]

I just keep all the gcf files on my back-up drive, just as good as having cds, and if i can be bothered to, i could just burn those to dvd and it would be almost identical to the retail version.

 

[Sam]

My steam news won't load up so I'll be going retail

SAM-2K! I LOVE YOUR AV!
Trapped in a box by a cockney nutjob
Have a cup of tea...have a cup of tea
Iím the hitcher
Let me put you in the picture
Creeping in your room in the dead of night
With me solo polo vision

Iím a cockney geezer...alright speed, bleed ya
Iíll do the ripper, when he watches you nip her
I taught him how to slice
I cut him up a treat

Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
Pound your banana (two pound your pear)
Cor me shivers with your melons...oh yeah

Coming in strong like a freakshow nightmare
Dancing skeletons - white, blue and yella ëuns
Moving through the shadows with the speed of a cat
And if you cross us weíll cut ya
And you ainít gonna like that...

Iím bad juju
I use voodoo if I choose to
I harness the forces of evil to abuse you
With power, a bellow, an evil magnet
Sucking up your soul
And you ainít gonna like that.

I've tried upgrading to orangutans, but they haven't upgraded my area to that yet.

haha i get a athlon64 3500+ , but anyways , its always better to buy a copy rather than downloading it.

Snip

I've tried upgrading to orangutans, but they haven't upgraded my area to that yet.

He slashes one way, he slashes the other, he slashes diagonal, he's like connect 4 in dagger terms!

 

[NJspeed]

Gamestop has it listed for 4/24/06...

April? Ugh....

I hope that's completely wrong, but what's scary... if they have it listed for April 24, it will probably be more like June 24.

 

[unex]

[Steven]
